Donating to the Best Music Writing series is the functional equivalent of pre-ordering the 2012 edition of the book—which will collect 2011’s best pieces of criticism, reportage, and other media on music from publications of all types and from all corners of the globe. Why not do so today?

I wonder if both songs got higher than the minimum score required to be nominated, or if only one did. Per the rules:
On Thursday, January 6, the Academy will screen clips featuring each song, in random order, for voting members of the Music Branch in Los Angeles. Following the screenings, members will determine the nominees by an averaged point system vote. If no song receives an average score...

Related, sort of: I hope Jami makes good on her promise to write about the growing number of women who are just Tired Of All The Bullshit.

How Not To Pick Up Girls
Last night, on a stuck-in-the-tunnel Ronkonkoma-bound LIRR train, I heard a guy—who had spent the previous 15 minutes drunkenly begging his friend for a bar (of Xanax?) and bragging that he’d spiked the drink of a “friend” of his with some sort of narcotic that would eventually result in him shitting himself—castigate one girl for having a “smelly” vagina, and five...
