ILM 2013 Tracks Poll: Murmuration of Stats, Ballots and Real Punks

Hell yeah al leong, Germans! I thought I was the only one here who was into them/her. Random discovery for me, they followed me on Soundcloud, but they have at least 2 fantastically smooth synthpop songs: this one and "Wonderhow"

Please reserve judgment about artist repetition until you have seen my album ballot. I think this is the first year I've submitted a full 25-track ballot, and the list I cut this down from could have given me 25 different artists, but I voted with my heart (more or less).

Saw some people questioning the placement of Full of Fire in the other thread

Need to point out it was properly released as a single

Obviously I'm as guilty as anyone else of voting for deep album cuts

But fuck you anyways

Going through the list of songs that didn't place

Feeling mad that Hot Juice placed and these didn't

Fuck ILM forever

Hot Fruit?

yes mr glyph, I think I had 8 tracks in common with you, and 6 in common with toby. It would have been 7 but I bumped Above the Cherry Moon at the last minute - what a great discovery for me, that track!

mixed:

John Grant - Glacier

The poll rollout introduced me to some great songs I hadn't heard. I didn't have as much time to keep up with ILM this year so I'm grateful for that.

I think all the people who liked Duke Dumont or Rudimental should check out Chase & Status.

It would have been 7 but I bumped Above the Cherry Moon at the last minute - what a great discovery for me, that track!

I was pretty naive in thinking that it had any chance - I guess I was pretty naive all round in my ballot, I'd forgotten how many people had to vote for something for it to place.

Still, an amazing track, and an amazing artist. Hope his album lives up to the 2013 12"s.

Hell yeah al leong, Germans! I thought I was the only one here who was into them/her. Random discovery for me, they followed me on Soundcloud, but they have at least 2 fantastically smooth synthpop songs: this one and "Wonderhow"

i don't know if you nommed germans, whitey, but i only heard it bc of the spotify list. it was one of my late adds. loved it!

also i'm stunned that i was apparently the only person who voted for betty who's "you're in love". and maybe i was wrong about where i voted it? i thought it was #2 but maybe #3? no matter.

also i'm stunned that i was apparently the only person who voted for betty who's "you're in love"

I would've, but my BW vote went to Somebody Loves You and, with the exception of Beyonce, I didn't double up on any artists with my ballot.

Agoria - Scala

Yes! Love this one.

Who was the other Katie Got Bandz voter?

― The Reverend, Thursday, 23 January 2014 23:48 (Yesterday)

*raises hand*

Thought maybe monotony or lex might vote for it, though I guess there's an remote chance Drillary Clinton makes an showing in the albums rollout.

Who voted for KLP - Hands (Dcup Deep Bitch Remix) as their number one? I nommed it and had it as my no.3, glad to see someone else really likes it.

Thought maybe monotony or lex might vote for it, though I guess there's an remote chance Drillary Clinton makes an showing in the albums rollout.

i haven't had my katie got bandz moment yet like i've had with sasha go hard. talking of whom, i'm surprised and disappointed no one else in the world seemed to care about "rondo"; i wasn't into her before that but it was a WHOA moment for me when i first heard it and it stuck like that for the rest of the year

drillary clinton is obv the best album title of 2013 hands down though

"Rondo" was the last thing (along with Popcaan's "Unruly Rave") I cut from my EOY list on The Corner :(

BTW Lex, thanks for repping Shuanise's "Mercy" so much, was great to play out last year.

I liked things off that Eglo comp but I was more into that Wires track.

::shrugs:: "Bounce It" and "One Of Those Nights" were my two least favorite songs from the whole Juicy J project

yup. fav new discoveries from this thread - lady saw's "bun fi bun", agoria's "scala", devolution's "listen to the badman" (HOW did i miss this amazing thing?). trying to work out what i think of tt the artist's "pussy ate" too

Bun Fi Bun is next level

Rudipherous's ballot is awesome in both spirit and content

I'm so glad ppl voted for the selma oxor & neneh cherry tracks I nommed & then negged, I was feeling guilty

also I would have strongly considered voting for KLP had I heard it in 2013

the funny thing is we only voted for like 4 of the same songs. but the same #1. hi neighbor!

the really funny thing is that Ylvis was one of the last songs I cut

Can't believe The Fox picked up votes but Treat Me Like A Pirate didn't.
