Yo P&J, I'm really happy for you, Imma let you finish, but ILX had the greatest 2009 poll of all time! All time! (2009 ILX Trax Poll Results: TOP TEN TODAY)

i had no idea bob dylan released anything in 2009. i only realised a few weeks ago he was still alive.

the washed out track is one i hadn't heard of before, it's pretty nice. 10cc-meets-air seems about right.

i only realised a few weeks ago he was still alive.

lol @ this

it was a specific thing, there was a thread where people were talking about his real name, suddenly realised i had no idea and had to wikipedia it. that thread also taught me that this one old pj harvey song is actually a dylan cover :(

dylan's real 2009 album was sort of meh. but the christmas album is a classic of some kind or other.

(by pj harvey you mean "highway 61"? yes. that is a bob dylan song.)

'Feel It All Around' is only the 4th or 5th best track on the Life Of Leisure EP btw

I was liking that Washed Out thing 'till the vocals came in...

i like that glo-fi (or whatever-it-is) stuff ok, but not as much as the idib-type stuff. they have somewhat adjacent aesthetics, but with different emphases. idib is all-night-driving music, things like washed up seem more sort of for afternoon picnics.

xpost: idib ?

Italians... Worked it out myself

lol @ the dylan :D

this was a single, smart guy

Happy to see the Dylan make it. That whole album just sounds like he and his band are having the best time playing these hoary old chestnuts.

Sad to say my favorite thing posted thus far is the Onyx track by a fair margin.

But Feel it All Around was pretty much as close to a "single" as Washed Out got this year. xp

too much Sweden imo

Too much Fever Ray, at least.

is that lindstrom & prins song from III?

too much Sweden imo

yeah what a shame it's not 100% American

easy to see why trap goin ham vid could be depressing, surely? but in the track there's also exhilaration in the craziness which counters that.

The exhilaration is part of what makes it so depressing, the exhilaration-in-degradation. It just makes it worse to me. (Anyway, it's hopeless arguing the point here.)

you must have me confused with chuck eddy wtf

is that lindstrom & prins song from III?

Did you mean II? Either way, it's a stand-alone single that was released at the same time.

xps: I don't get "exhilerating" out of "urgent" and "nervous". It sounds like everything's going to hell in a handbasket.

trap goin hambasket

hahaha once again the ilx trax poll makes me certain that i am from space and just a visitor on your 2009 planet

that or you havent heard the fever ray album

ha thats the only stuff on here i actually know!

What genres of music do you like, JJ?

(and sorry dudes about the only stuff on here i really much like, i am obv not wired to accurately process crazy cousinz or that fuzzy logic thing)

xpost: well until today i thought i liked most of them? also i see what you are doing there you scamp

no i see what you mean _Rudipherous_, and reverend too. it's like the sort of first-person narrative that had the first wave of gangsta rappers trying to reject that label for "reality rap" with tracks a sort of embedded reportage. like chuck d saw the lineage from PE to NWA. but there is exhilaration in it, he's not going to lie down and die, he's going to get money, so throws himself into it headlong. it's complicated.

there was a thread where people were talking about his real name, suddenly realised i had no idea and had to wikipedia it. that thread also taught me that this one old pj harvey song is actually a dylan cover :(

OK, I hate Dylan as much as the next guy (and thought that his placement on this poll was a joke, since I've heard nothing but derision for that Xmas album, even among Dylan stans), but this is ridic. The name of the song is "Highway 61 Revisited"!!!

pretty sure lex got all these reactions in the first thread.

is that a sort of cajun thing that's the basis of the dylan track? sounds like shane mcgowan to me.

lol jaymc + all these reactions are otm tho

Sounds more like tom-waits-cum-klezmer music to me. xp

(but yeah, it's equally zydeco-ish)

just to be clear i had heard of this bob dylan fellow

xps: ehhh, it seems only natural that the lower reaches will be filled with relative minority concerns. wait for the top places for the big consensus picks.

jj apparently has not been reading the funky house thread
