Wrong youtube link- Here we go:Glenn Branca - Lesson No. 1

I should've thrown 'Slowdive' a few for old times' sake. It's still really good, though the drums go badly out-of-time at the end. I secretly kind of wanted Slash or someone to come in playing a really huge lead over the intro.

I have a feeling Suzanne is going to be the only Moose track here. Should've voted for it!

oops
oh man, "Summer's Last Sound" is too low
I should have given it more points, that song is just perfection
― O'Donnell and the Brain (HI DERE), Tuesday, 26 October 2010 20:55 (thirteen years ago) link
awesome! 4 songs from my ballot so far!!! Including two from my Top 10 (Glenn Branca & Bardo Pond yeah!)
― scaruffi kaleidoscope (Drugs A. Money), Tuesday, 26 October 2010 20:56 (thirteen years ago) link
I've voted for precisely one of these - thought I'd be doing a lot better.
― Ismael Klata, Tuesday, 26 October 2010 20:56 (thirteen years ago) link
I've got four in so far. That's better than I'd thought I'd be doing by this point.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 26 October 2010 20:57 (thirteen years ago) link
I gave "never lose that feeling" my #1 (weighted) vote so I hope that had something to do with it. Wish it'd scored higher tho!
Also pretty o_0 at people saying "Isnt anything" is horrible and underproduced wtf. Have you guys even heard their pre-shoegaze stuff?
― cathedral-sized jellyfish in your mind (Trayce), Tuesday, 26 October 2010 20:58 (thirteen years ago) link
Ok yeah I like Johnny's rundown presentation better.
― Moka, Tuesday, 26 October 2010 20:59 (thirteen years ago) link
haha I looked back at my ballot and I gave "Summer's Last Sound" 49 points, so I guess really more people should have voted for it (why because it is awesome)
― O'Donnell and the Brain (HI DERE), Tuesday, 26 October 2010 21:00 (thirteen years ago) link
Never Lose That Feeling is freaking epic
Summer's Last Sound is so, so cool. My god! The really high echoey sample!

It's worse?! I'd imagined it a bit like Frankie Goes To Hollywood, myself.
― Ismael Klata, Tuesday, 26 October 2010 21:04 (thirteen years ago) link
Last two tracks so far are class, but I didn't vote for either. Yay for Trayce for never losing that feeling. :)
― Harrison Buttwhistle (NickB), Tuesday, 26 October 2010 21:06 (thirteen years ago) link
So far there are zero tracks from my ballot
― Stockhausen's Helicopter Quartet (Elvis Telecom), Tuesday, 26 October 2010 21:12 (thirteen years ago) link
Only two of mine connected, but six or seven others were outliers on my list.
MBV are being treated justly.
― lol @ dog w/ sunglasses (Pillbox), Tuesday, 26 October 2010 21:15 (thirteen years ago) link
6 or 7 of mine which is making me lose hope of seeing some of the others. :(
― Wheal Dream, Tuesday, 26 October 2010 21:19 (thirteen years ago) link
I had 3 from my ballot
I hope "Catchfire" is high up there
― O'Donnell and the Brain (HI DERE), Tuesday, 26 October 2010 21:19 (thirteen years ago) link
Feel pretty meh about the list so far. Sorry guys.
― emil.y, Tuesday, 26 October 2010 21:37 (thirteen years ago) link
Although I did try and fail to seek out that Low, Transient Waves, Piano Magic track. Will give that a listen. Is it as good as it should be?
― emil.y, Tuesday, 26 October 2010 21:38 (thirteen years ago) link
I cant parse this sentemce. Are you saying thats what you *wanted* it to sound like?
I love "sunny sundae smile" and stuff of that era. Some of it is like a janglepop Cramps!
― cathedral-sized jellyfish in your mind (Trayce), Tuesday, 26 October 2010 22:13 (thirteen years ago) link
Emil.y I believe that's on the Rocket Girl comp. I don't particularly remember it standing out but it's been a while.
― Wheal Dream, Tuesday, 26 October 2010 22:26 (thirteen years ago) link
the low/TW/piano magic track is beautiful but that's 90% because of alan & mimi's singing
― original server (electricsound), Tuesday, 26 October 2010 22:37 (thirteen years ago) link
i mean 99%
― original server (electricsound), Tuesday, 26 October 2010 22:38 (thirteen years ago) link
2 of my votes in so far. thought it was 4 then realised i'd voted for difft tracks by the artists in question

0 for 20 so far though i meant to vote for loomer probably.
― keythhtyek, Wednesday, 27 October 2010 02:16 (thirteen years ago) link
4 of mine have come up so far much to my suprise.
I'm now wondering if Disco Inferno might be a suprise high scorer.

― Sunn O))) Sundae Smile (Trayce), Wednesday, 27 October 2010 02:35 (thirteen years ago) link
so far the only songs that i have voted for are the absolutely wonderful "Suzanne" and "Tommy Gun Angel" which barely made it. i ended up dropping songs like "Slowdive," "Nothing Natural" and the excellent "Never Lose That Feeling" (the second part of that is called "/Never Learn" and is around 12 minutes long). My Bloody Valentine just had way too many songs on this thing so i only put on one song from the Loveless period on this list because i felt they didn't need my help.
― Bee OK, Wednesday, 27 October 2010 03:26 (thirteen years ago) link
Haha it would be *hilarious* if everyone had the same idea.
― Sunn O))) Sundae Smile (Trayce), Wednesday, 27 October 2010 03:42 (thirteen years ago) link
(I did not vote for anything off Loveless tbh)
1/20
― daavid, Wednesday, 27 October 2010 04:49 (thirteen years ago) link
Wait a sec, what about the tie? Swervedriver and MBV are tied at #86, so YLT moves down to #88, etc. and Cocteaus' "Cherry Coloured Funk" is out of the top 100?
I'm kind of shocked that "Lesson No. 1" made it, that was a fairly odd nomination IMO. Then again, it's not so surprising because it was the only Branca track nominated, so people who wanted to vote for Branca didn't have a choice.
How many MBV tracks did some people vote for anyway? How else to explain "Loomer" and "Swallow" in the top 100? Maybe I shouldn't have stuck to voting for just one track per artist (although I made an exception for MBV and voted for them twice). Still kicking myself for voting for two Chapterhouse and DIV songs and forgetting to vote for "Leave Them All Behind".
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Wednesday, 27 October 2010 12:48 (thirteen years ago) link
Swallow should be higher imo
― lol @ dog w/ sunglasses (Pillbox), Wednesday, 27 October 2010 13:03 (thirteen years ago) link
it certainly sounds better when i'm higher
― eddy current facebook friends status updates (electricsound), Wednesday, 27 October 2010 13:06 (thirteen years ago) link
damn, go on a short holiday trip and I end up missing the voting period... oh well, time to reach for the popcorn then
― licorice oratorio (baaderonixx), Wednesday, 27 October 2010 14:28 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah, this. I just decided not to vote for Branca. (Although every time I make a statement like this I'm going to panic and wonder if maybe I did vote for the thing I say I didn't vote for, as my list-making was so rushed.)
How many MBV tracks did some people vote for anyway?
I voted for three. Curiously, all from Loveless, even though I definitely used to prefer Isn't Anything. Have listened to the former much more recently than the latter, mind you, so memory is probably the key. I hate having a sieve-like mind.
― emil.y, Wednesday, 27 October 2010 16:03 (thirteen years ago) link
Oh, and:
Wait a sec, what about the tie?
I think from upthread it looks like Moka is going to ignore normal protocol for ties, and just have them as e.g. 100, 99, 99, 98, 97, 97, 96. It's a bit of a funny way of doing it but I have no problem with it.

I forgot to re-listen to Julee Cruise when voting. Never been sure if it'd stack up for me outside of Lynch films.
― emil.y, Wednesday, 27 October 2010 16:47 (thirteen years ago) link
I was right chuffed with myself for nominating 'Falling', but when it came down to it I decided I couldn't justify it on a shoegaze ballot. I should've though, it's totally classic dreampop.
― Ismael Klata, Wednesday, 27 October 2010 16:50 (thirteen years ago) link
I didn't vote for it but I think it does pretty well on its own. I heard it before seeing any of the Twin Peaks episodes tho so my first relation to the song is not Lynchian. Definitely not shoegaze but feels at home with other dreampop classics.
