this is essentially like the one on the site that shall not be named, but I don't suppose I can just copy and paste from there, so here goes:
you can nominate 10 artists for best new artist, and 15 songs for best song, I'll probably make a shortlist of about 15-20, but this isn't confirmed yet, I'll see how many votes we get
for best artist, we can evaluate this on a case-by-case basis, but if they've released a debut album this year it's probably fine, if they haven't released their debut album than they're almost definitely fine. though I'd have a problem with calling the likes of Disclosure or HAIM 'new', it's not all up to me and I'll take other's opinions before deciding
best song is pretty self-explanatory, got to have been released this year
give me a shout if you change nominations please
i'm doing both of these together because a) people generally aren't that bothered by best new artist, and b) to try and get this done by the new year, or at least not massively over it
give us a week for this, and say nominations have to be in by 15th December, and probably a week of voting after that
try and make your choices diverse, I've been pretty lax on new stuff, particularly in the latter half of this year, so am counting on you lot to get me up to date
I'll make my full nominations later but implore you all to listen to the Public Service Broadcasting album which came out this year

Best New Artist
- CHVRCHES
- Palma Violets
- Savages
- Willy Moon
- London Grammar
- Tom Odell
That's all I can think of off the top of my head, it's not a very inspiring list and I'm not even sure if they're all from this year. Best Song - My God Is The Sun - Queens Of The Stone Age
- You Will See Me - dan le sac vs. Scroobius Pip
- 22 - Taylor Swift
- Love Illumination - Franz Ferdinand
- Everything - Nine Inch Nails
- Arabella - Arctic Monkeys
- No. 1 Party Anthem - Arctic Monkeys
- Knee Socks - Arctic Monkeys
- Royals - Lorde
- Get Lucky - Daft Punk
- Unbelievers - Vampire Weekend
Sure I've missed some songs/artists out but I can't be arsed to think any more. Does it look too squashed up in bullet points Blue Moon, I can't decide.

No it doesn't, it's fine. You have nominated Tom Odell though which I can only assume is a mistake.

My top 10 new artists would be, in no particular order
CHVRCHES HAIM Savages Disclosure Rhye Lorde Run The Jewels The World Is A Beautiful Place and I'm No Longer Afraid To Die AlunaGeorge(if we're counting them) Little Green Cars
Best tracks is going to be very meandering and probably not really representative, but I'll give it a whack:
Do I Wanna Know - Arctic Monkeys The Mother We Share - CHVRCHES Bad Guy - Eminem Inhaler - Foals Retrograde - James Blake Kalopsia - QOTSA I Appear Missing - QOTSA Comrade - Volcano Choir Shut Up - Savages Colossus - Tyler The Creator Doin' It Right - Daft Punk Royals - Lorde Pusher Love Girl - Justin Timberlake Harper Lee - Little Green Cars Step - Vampire Weekend

I listened to CHVRCHES the other day, literally the only new band I've listened to this year, so that's my one and only vote for best new artist, poor form. Too busy discovering older bands to find new ones, Volcano Choir aren't even new @eric :<
Best Song
State Hospital - Frightened Rabbit The Woodpile - Frightened Rabbit After The Scripture - Manchester Orchestra Architect - Manchester Orchestra/Frightened Rabbit Comrade - Volcano Choir The Way I Tend To Be - Frank Turner Tell Tale Signs - Frank Turner Brennisteinn - Sigur Rós Rafstraumur - Sigur Rós All Ends Well - Alter Bridge Calm The Fire - Alter Bridge Slipped - The National Pink Rabbits - The National Whisper - The Dear Hunter You Will See Me - Dan le Sac vs Scroobius Pip The Mother We Share - CHVRCHES

I liked the few songs that I heard, not normally the sort of music I go for but I'd recommend checking them out, plus the bird is pretty tidy as well. One of those bands that I'd imagine will be really popular in a few years. @eric

CHVRCHES played one of the best festival sets I've seen at Benicassim, really good band. The albums worth a listen, though was a bit disappointing for me as all the best songs on their had already been released.
