(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)

Did you really check whether I ABC ordered those?

(Guilty, both counts.)

i'm going with sprinkles, maxwell & gucci mane as 3 wild card albums

"X" comes before "Y." I know, I have an MLS.

i predict at least one of those washed out eps will show up

and that dj sprinkles will do very well

i'd say no and maybe, the latter only because i've seen his(?) name mentioned by like 5 people now on this thread, not that i've seen hype elsewhere or even heard it before

i think between how many dance LPs have already show up + this thread Strictly 4 My Underground Homo Deep House Thugs: DJ Sprinkles - Midtown 120 Blues being 300+ posts long, i would be surprised if sprinkles didn't show

i don't think washed out will -- i think neon indian and/or memory tapes are more likely

y'all talking about Radric in the top 20 are smoking something

also Maxwell is a lock, no wild card

o & tm

callin a dude out by his ACTUAL name when shit gets heated

yeah i thought he had a chance to hit the 30s but prob not

i had maxwell as a lock in my original list, just had him as a "wild card" because stephen didn't list him

uh i said 'Radric' as in the album title dog

oh -_-

callin an album out by its ACTUAL NAME when rage dump gets heated

the term "rage dump" has really put the last two years of lil wayne's career into perspective

Contents [hide]
1 Early life
2 Music career
2.1 Hot Boys
2.2 Early solo career (1999–2003)
2.3 Tha Carter and Tha Carter II (2004–05)
2.4 Collaborations and mixtapes (2006–07)
2.5 Rage Dump Era (2008–10)
2.6 Future work

Rebirth definitely sounds very influenced by Rage Dump Against The Machine

the lady of rage dump

currently have Devo's "Space Junk" stuck in my head w/ "rage dump" in place of the title

y'all are definitely forgetting tonetta

I don't think that Flaming Lips album is a lock, especially over Mastodon.

am wondering whether the hyperdub comp might be a wild card

i fully expect 8 of my votes to show in the top 20 so i'm pretty happy...think i can give up on courtney love and demi lovato now though.

I've scored 1/30 so far, definitely another 3 to come, but wow, I really suck at this game.

nothing yet... reckon I might get two in the remaining 20.

DJ Sprinkles does seem likely, now that I think about it.

You sure Maxwell is a sure thing, J0rdan?

Also, I can't see Washed Out or Neon Indian making the list. The Neon Indian threads, for one, were painfully short and there wasn't much talk/love around the album.

Mastodon I can see maybe making it.

xpost: b/c of the absence of "Deadbeat Summer" from the songs poll, I would be very surprised if NI make the top 20.

i don't think washed out will -- i think neon indian and/or memory tapes are more likely

iirc neon indian album wasnt even nominated

I'm kind of pessimistic about these, but what about Martyn, Redshape, Shackleton or the Moritz von Oswald Trio?

Also Micachu even?

i would've expected to see some of those earlier on the list, but now i'm not so sure. dj sprinkles otoh is a lock.

would sooo rather see redshape than sprinkles but that's not gonna happen - somewhat perplexed at how sprinkles got so many on board when the ones nick b listed didn't, but oh well

None of those dance releases are likely to make it. Micachu might, I suppose, but other than the Flaming Lips I can't see who on Jordan's list might be dropped to make way for them.

as i've said elsewhere what's most interesting this year is actually the order. fever ray are my tip for no 1 but hardly a shoe-in; electrik red, who i'm most interested in, could be anywhere between say 3 and 15 and i wouldn't be shocked.

I dunno why you guys think the Lips won't make it. I'd expect them not as high as Pfork's #4 ranking, but likely somewhere in the 11-15 range here on ILM.

Electrik Red will be in the 11-20 range. Would be realllllyyyy surprised if it breaks top ten, even with all the love -- sort of like The-Dream's "Fancy" in the tracks poll, say. I don't think it'll beat out the more widely heard records that will go top ten.

e red will be highest averate score maybe, #1 in our hearts etc

electrik red will get the highest no of no 1s

Mmm... Liking that Matayo Aguayo (sp?) album - remidns me of El Guincho from a couple of years ago, and also Panda Bear. Where else can I hear this sort of "raggedy latin lo-fi house" thing?

i picked that record up yesterday because of this thread--it is good! those are fair comps but matias is much funkier.

i'd love to do a mix in that kind of style - maybe throw a few curveballs like Ruby Suns and some traditional south american tunes too. not really what people call "latino house" though is it? is it even a genre?

never would've thought to compare matias aguayo to those guys, aguayo actually knows how to produce dance music. not really meant as a diss to those guys, btw.

^^^exactly. didn't really love ay ay ay (though aguayo's done great stuff in the past) but it wasn't fucking "lo-fi"!

i mean without actually knowing how he made it i could see why you could ascribe "lo-fi" to it. he sort of works with a very flat sound palette which is one of the cool things about the record.

yeah, it is definitely not a typical sounding dance record

Ay Ay Ay was one of my favorites from last year, and I voted for it. The more I listen to it the more I think that every single sound on the album, incl bass and percussion, was made from voice samples. Does anyone know if this is true?

TS: Ay Ay Ay vs. Medulla vs. Dokaka's Human Interface.

feels like about 90& voice to me; most obvious exception is accordion on last track.
