2009 OFFICIAL PODCAST: Nonbeliever wrote:
The AAC encoded files support a few extra features than the MP3 files such as "chapters" (which allow you to jump to each song), album artwork and links to the bands, if played in iTunes. I've also included links to the MP3 files in case anybody prefers that.

NOTES: KASMs
- The album "Spayed" was released in 2009, not 2000 as mentioned in the podcast.
Made in Poland
- The track in the podcast is called "Ball in the Wood" and not "Ball."
Plastique Noir - "Dead Pop"
- This album was accidentally nominated for '09 even though it was released in '08. (Considering that this album was nominated last year, I have no idea how but we did overlook this mistake.) The discogs.com entry (
http://www.discogs.com/Plastique-Noir-D ... se/1826983) said album was released in '09. This is incorrect and the album is disqualified from the nominations.
We therefore have 24 nominees, not 25.
