(TOP 5 TODAY, MOFOS!) 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 Albums Poll Results)

3 of mine so far: Grandfather Paradox, Junior Boys and Omar-S

^ Fabric 45: so, so good

A terrific introduction to a hitherto little-known artist.

27 -- Mungolian Jet Set - We Gave it All Away...Now We Are Taking It Back (128.5 points, 10 votes) (dnp in p4k, 744 in p&j)

Begone dull care was probably the biggest disappointment of 2009 for me; idk, both production and melody wise, it just seemed totally flat. Though not as flat and boring as royksopp have always been and still are. Omar-s on the other hand, was just sleek and perfect; don't think I voted for it but it would have been one of the 2-3 I had to ditch at the last minute

Mungolian Jet Set another of my votes.

mungolian jetset album is fun & funny and pretty heady

26 -- Lily Allen - It's Not Me, It's You (136 points, 10 votes, 1 #1 vote/s) (dnp in p4k, 22 in p&j)

I suppose The Fear is a good track?
Errm...

Lily Allen had a new album?

rly?

ha, and i was hoping it would place higher

hurray for mungolian jetset! that is a truly odd album, pretty cool that it placed so high

this list is really bizarre, but not really in a bad way i guess

dig that lily allen album, didn't vote for it tho

25 -- Dâm-Funk - Toeachizown (138 points, 13 votes) (dnp in p4k, 47 in p&j)

d-_-b

lollll i know nothing from this list

my #3 iirc (dam-funk) - felt weird voting for the whole 2 & 1/2 hours of that thing but it's so glorious and layered and complex, really glad i came across it

er, i want to thank him for stepping into my life

Yeah this is a really good album.

ha, kev

also there is no such thing as too much dam-funk -- complaining about the length of it is really on some pedant technical shit, i think it's awesome that there's two hours of it

"hey, too much sunshine! what is all this!?"

streaming now and this is actually pretty cool.

dam is the best for like... drinking beer outside in the warmth

"hey, too much sunshine! what is all this!?"

^

hey i wasn't complaining, i love it and wish there was more!

anyway what i love is how my favorite EP or whatever you want to call it changed all the time - i really fell in love with the proggier part 2 first, then got into the super wonky and angular part 1, then couldnt get enough of the early prince-ish part 3

I'd probably like the Dâm-Funk but the rest of the poll seems to be the year electrodribble hit big.

yeah kev i wasn't referring to you

yeah the fact that he released it as EPs kinda deflates the "2.5 hours" argument bcuz it's not like you don't have places to start

Electrodribble's revenge.

xpost

ElectrodribPOLL.

what constitutes "electrodribble"? anything with a keyboard?

Tim's comments last year:

I think people are expanding this too much. "Indie-Friendly Electrodribble" seems to imply an element of tweeness and softness.

Postal Service and Max Tundra and The Avalanches yes, Blechdom no.

(Yes I can see how Blechdom/Tigerbeat 6 are arguably twee but it's of a different stripe I think)

Like, Peaches are the paradigmatic example for me of the electronic act people who feel uncomfortable with actual dance music still check for all the time (i hang out with too many gays/lesbians though, maybe this is why) - but I wouldn't describe her as "electrodribble".

Peaches is more like electrospittle.

Spotify link for Dâm-Funk

Gonna listen now

More here: Indie-Friendly Electrodribble S/D

i don't think that describes anything on this list so far?

i'm not exactly in a made up pejorative genre

interested in*

you were also right the first time

yeah, either way

i thought electrodribble and indie friendly electrodribble split into different genres in january 2009 after the dribble wars

TS: electrodribble vs technospunk

which one did Billy Idol make an album of?

neuromantica

expected toeachizown to place higher.. don't remember if i voted for it or not

that lily allen album is great

the rest of the poll seems to be the year electrodribble hit big.

ugh i was honestly hoping no one would use that phrase in a serious way ever again. besides junior boys and royksopp (both are maybes) what could possibly constitute electrodribble on this list? i guess jj is almost the definition of electrodribble now that i think of it, but that's about it. such an amorphous, useless term

might as well call the broadcast focus group electrodribble while we're at it lol

ppl be confused by the lack of ROCK MUZAK

I think I've given up on Zombi & Oneohtrix Point Never placing :(
