Historic Losanjealous “Best of 2008″ Polls Drawing To Close Soon

Right, then. Where were we? Christmas is over; Kwanzaa and Hannukah are in full tilt. Put down the chex mix, get that menorah lit, get that kinara lit, get yourself lit and get back to your keyboards, for you have but four days left to cast your votes in our annual world famous trendsetting unfathomably important “Best of” polls. Remember, people, if you don’t like the results of these polls, you have only yourself to blame. You’re the tastemakers here, so don’t fuck it up.

Top five concerts of 2008 at the time of this writing:

• Radiohead @ Hollywood Bowl, August 25: 303,488 votes (43%)
• Aziz Ansari @ Orpheum, May 30 (20-minute stand-up set opening for Flight of the Conchords): 254,222 votes (36%)
• Editors @ House of Blues, Anaheim: 62,134 votes (9%)
• Megapuss, Little Joy, & The Entrance Band @ The Troubadour Sept 25th: 31,060 votes (4%)
• James @ Spaceland, June 6: 19,923 votes (3%)
• HONORABLE MENTION (sixth place at press time): Andy Walo Trio Long Beach Blues Festival August 31: 16,655 votes (2%)

Looks like we have five different venues and one festival performance above. It is comforting, watching this statistically sound, analyst-approved poll back up my longstanding hypothesis that Los Angeles maintains a robust, healthy venue/venue booking diversity. Good job, venues. This next white-zin-and-bowl-of-chex-mix is on me.
