It could've gone either way.

Voted for both because one is definitely 2015 and the other is just too good and I think it wasn't even nommed in the 2014 poll.

the arthur russell corn disc is really good, surprised it didn't get nommed
― lute bro (brimstead), Wednesday, 6 January 2016 07:02 (eight years ago) link
(i like it much better than love is overtaking me me, anyway)
Corn didn't really make an impact on me; I should probably give it a second chance though.

which lady leshurr track to go for between 'lukatar' and 'queen's speech 4'...? think i prefer 'lukatar' but against that it's v hard not to vote for a song that has "i've got a dark skinned friend that looks like rachel dolezal..and i've got a light skinned friend that looks like rachel dolezal" in it.
― pandemic, Wednesday, 6 January 2016 17:01 (eight years ago) link
all the queen's speeches are better than "lukatar" imo
was tempted to nominate QS3 (and QS2) but QS4 was the gigantic viral hit and prob the best
― cher guevara (lex pretend), Wednesday, 6 January 2016 17:12 (eight years ago) link
QS4 kinda ruined for me by the Jenner line leaping out every time I listen :/

Yeah, I only found it by scrolling through the album nominations playlist and clicking on each opening track. I think I required about ten seconds of When I Nod for the album to instantly lodge itself in my top 5. In a fucking great year, too. It is a phenomenal record and one I'd like to promote here as much as any I'd previously heard.

Well here's my little repping bit:
Korede Bello - 'Godwin'I've banged on about this track ever since I found it on the Rolling Afrobeats thread. It's such a great bit of work - an exceptional track in an exceptional scene. Uplifting, good vibes, distinct, implacable beat that takes a few bars to really get a grip on. I just love it.
Domenique Dumont - 'L'Esprit de L'Escalier'Don't really know anything about the origins of this strange little track. The album is Tubular Bells on a tropical island; the soundtrack from Donkey Kong Country with a French yéyé twist. This one is all about how the melody switches around the 3 minute mark. First time I heard it, it felt like a little piece of my life slotting back into place.
AKA ft. Burna Boy - All Eyes On MeA match made in heaven of afrobeats, hip hop and dancehall. Been playing it all year and it still sounds great.
DJ Paypal - Slim TrakI was a bit concerned that DJ Rashad's death would spell the end for footwork. But with Jlin topping a lot of EOY lists it looks like the Chicago scene is not only burgeoning but going truly global. Paypal's 'Sold Out' double-EP is easily as inventive, with this track sharing a lot in common with the Afro-Portuguese sound fronted by people like Marfox.
Miami Horror - Wild Motion (Set It Free)This album made up a large part of my summer soundtrack. A really diverse indie-electro-pop record - think MGMT but not as screechy, and less obnoxious. Just great summer tunes, it never gets boring.
Frazey Ford - September FieldsBrassy country. A beautiful voice and some dazzling organ-work here.

This is more for forks than anything; there's no way the Camoufleurs songs I nominated are on Spotify, so here are some links just in case you wanted to include them on your big listen-a-thon next year. They're a semi-local indie band--in fact I mentioned in the nominations thread that I'm related to the singer/primary songwriter--and the first time I heard both these songs, my jaw dropped, and I had a momenr, a "Holy crap I can't believe I know the people who made this" moment. The parent EP, "1980", is patchy and full of pastiche, but those songs were gorgeous liquid jangle alt-country psychedelia, with a tactile sense of atmosphere to rival KING.

A better, smarter, more "with it" Drugs A. Money would have figured out ways to nominate these two songs:
I caught this song sometime earlier in the year and it wasn't until a couple days ago I figured out what it was called and who sang it. I guess this is one of the biggest Spanish-language Billboard hits ever...? though that might be the remake with Enrique Iglesias. I like this version way better, but it's p much an unsinkable earworm
Nicky Jam, "El Perdon"https://youtu.be/uU_FFtbCcLc
Found this on Alfred's blog a few months ago. It's a blatant masterpiece. Flatline, which is not as good, got nominated instead, abd I'll prob end up putting it on my ballot solely out of a deep sense of remorse.

I think it's up this year, but iirc it's traditionally been in the 1200-1300 range. (Or I may be misremembering it entirely.)

― Copy rights, pleasing all star wars fans, hiring professionals. (forksclovetofu), Saturday, 9 January 2016 19:10 (eight years ago) link
but i would honestly chalk that up to more songs being available on the service
My top fives have basically been solidified for ages but I'm still pretty vague on placements and even entries below that. And time creeps on.
