(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)

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.

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 :(

I voted for junior boys!

def their nicest sounding record, really tactile yet glossy and glassy

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

...and Emeralds or 6 Organs. Only psych-ish thing I can see making it is Current 93, but even that is only a vague hope now.

i voted emeralds fwiw, i think more ppl listened to them this year than when they became posterboys for hypnagogic

emeralds deserve better than being labelled hypnagogic pop by that wanker keenan

...says the guy with the electrodribble gun set to repeat fire.

;o)

yeah, but in the aftermath of that on ILM, emeralds were the one that got singled out by a lot of peeps as the awesome one iirc, still dont know any skaters tho

never cared for skaters or ferraros solo stuff

24 -- Death - ...For the Whole World To See (145.5 points, 12 votes) (dnp in p4k, 151 in p&j)

dope cover

yes!

too much stuff i know virtually nothing about here--the Baroness, Miranda and Lily discs are my only picks to place so far. i like what's been posted re: Mariah (probably better than lvsm actually); no idea what to check out next tho. halp!

xp

ah, another one i know. phew.

when i was writing my thesis last year, i started going to the cinema once a week by myself to give myself enough space to totally zone out (saw so much blockbuster/apatowish stuff last yr) and i had dled this off itunes, and when i put it on now it makes me think of nicholas cage googling 9/11 and jason segal's creepy lil dog. Awesome album, really rich sounding, thick bass, ripping guitar lines and the way it shift tempos is A+. I also love the guy's voice.

yay! my 2nd vote! rock and roll foreva!

that was my #2 btw

Nice surprise but I didn't vote for it purely because the material was from the 70s even if unreleased. But I'm pleased it made it now.

it was my number 4, junior boys was my 6 and the dream is my 5 so thats a clear run WHEN that places

love that death album but didn't vote for it - decided to vote for just actual new stuff but it def could have been in my top 20

It seems premature to bemoan a electrodribble sweep when aside from arguably Fever Ray, those two (arguably three) are about the last of it I expect to see. I don't recall a great deal of Neon Indian or IAMX love hereabouts.

wouldnt normally vote for a reissue but it was abt a billion times higher profile a release than originally right?

It was never released before, only a "Keep on Knocking"/"Politicians in My Eyes" single

yeah so its not really the same

queens detroit represent, buy the album when I drop it

23 -- Rihanna - Rated R (152.5 points, 16 votes) (dnp in p4k, 125 in p&j)
