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)

YES "inflation"!!! god that xylophone never fails to put a grin on my face.

also u&k: the aidonia dancehall vocal of it: xxxx://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SuDSiJZ4Bg8 (replace xxxx w/http as per earlier)

3 #1 votes!

through the first third of the year it was pretty much no 1 - i voted trax unranked though

as for "wasted" it's not a gucci song i ever really think about, i don't get to experience it on the radio and it's weird that plies is the main attraction. i guess it's pretty fun though.

this keeps getting better and better tbh

ikr - 16 down, and i actively like 12 of them.

I heard "Kiss Me Thru The Phone" is the #1.

i'd like to hear this with a vocal, whether dancehall or house diva. not really feeling the autotuned dude lex linked. youtube has sean paul freestyle his singsong uptown thing over it on kiss fm in the uk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emKzeDqi7g4

any others?

ack sorry didn't mean to embed

I'll leave it to deej to let me know if Gucci is played on Power 92 -- I only listen to the Top 40 stations, and he's not played on those.

34 -- Washed Out - Feel It All Around (10 votes, 106 points) (44 in P&J, 10 in p4k)

Air meets 10cc in a dance production = great+ a future "best new music" in pfrk.

what else can you ask for? ― Zeno

awesome song

I'm really kind of blown away by how many of these I like!

I agree it's a really good list up to this point. re: Washed Out -- he seems to be the lead dog in this whole subgenre, and it's not by chance. He does more with the same components than people like Neon Indian or Toro y Moi or Ducktails or whoever else. I hope when he finally make a proper album, he still writes the same way but increases the fidelity a little bit.

make=makes

i know i was listening to lots of old music, but this list makes me feel like i just missed 2k9 tbh

I suspect the whole Washed Out album is good, if I was more familiar with it I think it would have made my album ballot.

It was actually two separate EP's, wasn't it? iirc the EP this was on, "Life Of Leisure" was the better of the two.

thread needs the official washed out vid IMO:

Plax tell me about Henry Purcell.

Washed Out song is cool. So far the only thing I actively dislike is AC.

:)

my favorite video of the year.

(video is here, btw.)

Bah humbug!

dylan needs his own "haters gonna hate" gif.

*jaw drops in horror*

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

^pretty compelling argument for "stop voting for fucking album tracks" the way i see it

Yay "In the Morning"!

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
