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)

no matter what happens it's gonna be a pretty great list imo

#1 Owl City

phoenix song reminds me of why i dislike the strokes. i dont really know how to quantify that, but its an honest reaction

UNLESS THAT HAPPENS xp

well i reckon taylor swift anyway, would love if still going or holy ghost made a surprise appearance bc the singles the dfa put out over the summer were some of the best stuff released all year imo

that being said i'm bummed but not surprised "my girls" placed, though i'm a little weirded out by all the people who are like "you know i've always hated animal collective but with 'my girls' they got it right!" like really? most of the album sounds like this!

or yeah i cant imagine many of the haters were following their career at all and seeing how it fits into what they've done so far which is pretty interesting imo

3. "Daniel" (my long shot guess of the three)
2. "You Belong with Me"
1. "Bad Romance"

i agree the album is kind of a blob but my girls and brothersport are the most memorable tracks no doubt

still holding out for Tonetta777 "$VIRAL$"

don't worry "youtube output for 2009" is a lock for the albums list

man why is youtube crawling along for me today

"if i ever feel better" is on erland oye's excellent indie-bait dj kicks that moka posted about recently, he cuts the preceding song out, sings up to "there are things in my life i can't explain" acapella then drops it, sounds terrible but is awesome.

nothing to do with anything really but i hadn't posted in a while and i'm waiting for this shit to load

auto-tune the news and tonetta777 #1 and #2

Avatar will win this imo.

avatar just sounds too much like a car commercial

btw if you don't have images off in this thread it's v helpful ime - u can just click the youtubes you want to hear in new tabs

"My Girls" is on a Modeselektor mix that is really fucking classy:

This was my first (knowing) exposure to AnCo and I was very psyched to check them out after hearing the song. I played MMP on Lala and basically went "woah, there's a bullet dodged".

I played a Panda Bear album a little later on that was even more abstract but that worked in its favor, IMO.

man than panda bear album is so boring

*that

panda bear album is prime music for listening to while high

also for listening while building application installers

When you're high Panda Bear music turns into shameless whores made out of bongs

this month i'm temping at a place where all youtube embeds are instantly blocked and invisible to me (but images aren't) -- this is my idea of ilx heaven

the vashti bunyan is the best primer imo and also a great showcase for all the best things abt freak-folk in its 2004ish heyday

when you're a bong you're a bong all the way

"application installers" = new slang for bongs, eh?

still holding out for Tonetta777 "$VIRAL$" - "Drugs, Drugs, Drugs" was in my top ten until I realized it wasn't nominated.

uh i mean the ep they did with vashti bunyan, prospect hummer

"auto-tune the news and tonetta777 #1 and #2"
QFT
also, i always misheard "adobe slats" as "an obi sash" which AGAIN makes about as much sense.

the intro and first verse of this are ok, it gets unbearable after that tho

No doubt you guys will be right about the top 3, but I just can't see how 'I Gotta Feeling' makes the list while 'Boom Boom Pow' doesn't

i have a panda bear album where he's singing thin and kind of wordlessly over acoustic guitar, is that the same dude? i actually kind of dig it, but in a "guy in a garage expressing himself that ten people will ever hear" kind of way

yeah that's young prayer

that's 'young prayer' and I think it's the best thing related to animal collective

"guy in a garage expressing himself that ten people will ever hear"
this is where i click with AC/PB but it's not the default.

zvookster his other one is "person pitch" - that's the super-acclaimed (and imo, superior) one

but yeah you have "young prayer"

prospect hummer was the beginning of the end u freak

maybe campfire songs

also his s/t or soccer star album lol i really like this band

this feels like when i came out to my best friend a little

Love the fact we're discussing Panda Bear + Joanna Newsom in a year where neither of them made an album.

panda bear made the album "merriweather post pavillion" iirc

It's musically's manager's fault

I am still kicking myself for not looking into Joanna Newsom last year

all the lolz I denied myself

lol
