"actually i think Mike Leigh's Naked is the best horror film i've ever seen" *pushes glasses up nose*

That's true, though i suspect more stuff will be flagged as "pop" than flagged as anything else.

Clearly anyone who votes for Venetian Snares should be forced to submit a YouTube clip of them dancing to it or have their ballot considered void.

the impulse is equally bizarre was my point

Good to see Slowhouse - 03 A1 up there, what a tune.

― Chewshabadoo, Friday, 27 April 2012 07:48 (1 year ago) Permalink

Is it too late to add:

Ada - The Red Shoes

I noticed a lot of tracks in the spreadsheet, but not this one, which is the one I've seen get the biggest reactions on the dancefloor.

Disagree w tim about all the above (Ben has def become a better dj for a start)

nobody wants to see that, let's be honest

Yeah, if your nominations are missing, just put them in, or mention it here (but again, if you have no intention of voting for it, probably no point of having it there).

While I think submitting 50 track list first solves a lot of problems, I doubt people are willing to submit a list, and then submit another one.

lol@venetian snares

that Slowhouse record is good, forgot about that, tho i can never remember which track is which

Just let people vote and spare the endless handwringing.

― Homosexual Satan Wasp (Matt DC), Friday, 27 April 2012 09:10 (1 year ago) Permalink

Like when magazines or websites do these sorts of lists people are basically free to vote for anything with no nominations process and those turn out alright*, the number of nominations is a red herring.

*Okay they are often lame but not as a result of having too many options to vote for.

― Homosexual Satan Wasp (Matt DC), Friday, 27 April 2012 09:12 (1 year ago) Permalink

Yeah, at this point the nomination system is kind of... well, pointless (other than giving a convenient advice list to refresh people's memories).

but yeah, OTM.

And why did someone 0_o my Poison Dart/Skeng noms? The former is definitely top 50 material.

― EDB, Friday, 27 April 2012 09:56 (1 year ago) Permalink

I see two Knife songs have been flagged as "popish". I'm pretty sure they're Lutheran.

ba dum TSSSSSSSSS ;-)

lol wth how does venetian snares not count

― fauxmarc, Friday, 27 April 2012 15:33 (1 year ago) Permalink

"Venetian Snares is electronic music and you could dance to it if you wanted to hmmmm??? do you see?????"

dancing to ragga/jump up/breakcore is not some foreign thing that people decidedly don't dance to unless they're trying to make a point reserved for hypotheticals, like i don't even understand where people can come from with this unless they've been to zero dnb parties ever at which point how can you get all decider-er on anyone's appropriate place in edm

did anyone get round to starting a spotify list for all this stuff?

so, what have I missed here?

― Scary Move 4 (dog latin), Friday, 27 April 2012 15:46 (1 year ago) Permalink

I think Coal was pointing and laughing at Venetian Snares rather than making a point about their eligibility.

― Homosexual Satan Wasp (Matt DC), Friday, 27 April 2012 15:47 (1 year ago) Permalink

Okay, here's a start on a spotify playlist, let me know if it works:

spotify:user:lumpygravy:playlist:1y6YgTuBxq8bmwdTnKbJrX

Only got to the end of adding the A's before I got horribly bored, but I might do more another time. Only 50% of the tracks were available (39 out of 78). Feel free to chip in...

Would it be really bad form if I abandoned alphabetical order and just added ones I nominated?

― Let's Talk About Socks (Nasty, Brutish & Short), Friday, 27 April 2012 17:03 (1 year ago) Permalink

(I think I know the answer to that, but I can't see us ever working through the whole alphabet)

Everything is eligible imo even this crap

― coal, Saturday, 28 April 2012 06:10 (1 year ago) Permalink

You get the noms you deserve, whatever people decide is suitable is de facto suitable because its whatever ILX thinks is suitable and if that means Hot Chip and Venetian Snares instead of Mr G or Mike Dunn there's nothing wrong with that, its what ILX is into

Hold on, you're complaining about other people's choices not being electronic enough, and you're nominating "Rose Rouge"? (Not that I've anything against it, brilliant tune!)

― Tuomas, Tuesday, 1 May 2012 11:58 (1 year ago) Permalink

But but, isn't it jazzy/deep house? I've never complained about some tracks being "not electronic enough" anyway. Maybe you mean not EDM enough.
