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 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:

xp

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

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

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.
