Jon Fine's Chugchanga-L Poll 1999 Entry

1. Sleep Jerusalem (Music Cartel)
2. Hazlewood, Lee Requiem For An Almost Lady (Smells Like)
3. Cobra Verde Nightlife (Motel)
4. Brötzmann, Caspar Mute Massaker (Our Choice)
5. Swans Swans Are Dead (Atavistic)
6. Perhacs, Linda Parallelograms (The Wild Places)
7. Debris Static Disposal (Anopheles)
8. Golden Super Golden Original Movement (Slowdime)
9. Fatso Jetson Toasted (Bongload)
10. Melvins The Maggot (Ipecac / Caroline)

13. Circle Andrexelt (Metamorphos)
14. Hazlewood, Lee Trouble is a Lonesome Town (Smells Like)
15. Feuhler Feuhler (Ostinato Schallplatten)

In order on down. The two Hazlewoods, Perhacs, and Debris are reissues; Obsessed is a rarities compilation.

I don't think it's legit for me to vote for it per se, but the Don Cab singles comp woulda been on here somewhere were it not for the obvious conflict.

I find myself spending more time on music of the past than present these days, though in compiling this list I'm led to think that perhaps things aren't so bad right now after all. (Plus, it can't account for things like the Ex and Magma live, to just note stuff off the top of my head.)
