nice, glad this made it

xxp
JF's pics are hosted somewhere that's supposed to be blocked at work but every now and then I refresh the page and a few sneak through the filter and I go "oooh! Nice" :D

yes, glad at least one of the Benoit & Sergio tracks placed

i think i actually like ending on thursday better, was just curious

sigh i just don't get benoit & sergio at all. it's fine if a bit dull until the vocals come in and they're such a fucking downer

xp
i voted for "snowflake", so i am not 100% alone with my taste here. that makes me feel better. of all the other songs i didn't know any. what would slowrolling mean? one song per hour? in general the idea of slowness appeals very much to me.

Slowroll = splitting the top 20 over two days (10 per). Doesn't matter to me, really. If people want it all done on Thursday, I can do that.

I like when you give it to us hard and fast.

lex, do you just generally dislike lower male voices

lex, do you just generally dislike lower male voices

i don't think it's the register so much as the timbre and context. i loved the male vocal in the danny daze track...

my bb does k all day

pleased to see the two talabot tracks and pleased to hear this mario & vidis remix i didn't know about. love the bassline.

69 - INVISIBLE CONGA PEOPLE "In a Hole" (190 Points, 8 Votes)
63 - STEFFI ft. VIRGINIA "Yours" (208 Points, 10 Votes, 1 First-Place Vote)

Really enjoying my listens in, these two were the ones that I felt really strongly for, on one listen

Of the oldies: disappointed in that Kate Bush track, seems like it wants to be warm your winter but it translates to dread, for some reason.

The Lulu is amazing tho'. Shames all the other guitar tracks. Need to get the album sometime (more bcz its an Alban Berg thing tho')

xxxxp
If you slowroll, please have it done by 1pm EST (= 'won't see me for dust' time for Britishers).

don't mind the downer lyrics of this...the track is very hypnotic

44 - WAKA FLOCKA FLAME ft. KEBO GOTTI "Grove Street Party" (248 Points, 10 Votes)
P&J - 343
Pitchfork - DNP

Re: Creep. Voted for "Days" instead (which seems unlikely to place), as "You" is trip-hop unvarnished by the passing years.

The dance massive is certainly out this year. Its just a different dance massive than mine.

yeah, i love that sleazy, druggy, hypnotic sound, seems somewhat of a piece with "in a hole" to me

xxp

nice! this was on my longlist and i didn't know whether it had a chance of placing

huh well i love "grove st party" a lot but i had no idea it was a 2011 thing

haha the more I hear of contemporary hip-hop, the more I like Waka in comparison

dude would not have a career in Juvenile's heyday but I guess someone had to take up the baton

thugged out ecstasy rap will never not be amazing tho

"grove st party" is the shit, but i don't really think of it as a 2011 song

Voted for "Principles" (a few extra vocal gears with the pitched-down "PRINCIPES" + the Remain In Light-era Byrne bug-eyed mania), but glad "Walk & Talk" placed - the dreamy smear of the vocals suits the lyrics perfectly. "When I come home she doesn't even say hello" :(

many xposts: YESSS "Grove Street Party"

I also voted for Principles instead of Walk & Talk but it was a tough choice.

Slowroll = splitting the top 20 over two days (10 per). Doesn't matter to me, really. If people want it all done on Thursday, I can do that.

43 - NADIA OH "Taking Over the Dancefloor" (255 Points, 9 Votes, 1 First-Place Vote)
P&J - 226
Pitchfork - DNP

http://soundcloud.com/nadiaoh/nadia-oh-kate-middleton (all the videos I could find were 90-second edits)

Bring the hammer down on Thorsday.

dang, cool pic for this one.

OH YES

nadia oh is another one that i saw a lot of people praise this year but i just didn't get. it's not CATCHY enough for a dance-pop song.

Colours is such a good album. Could just have easily voted for Jump Out The Window or a few others.

sweet! i think this is the 5th one to place from my ballot

Oh I like this a lot

oh hang on this is a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT version to the 3-min one i've been trying to get into! no fucking wonder i didn't get it, this is a bit of a monster. is this a remix?

I think this is the proper album version. The single edit is less than 3 mins.

although the vocal line still starts annoying me well before it ends, oh well

yeah i was gonna ask you guys--you're voting for the 6 min one right? because it's just ridiculous enough to be awesome.

didn't know about this track, but I like it

okay the beat is awesome, i wish someone had either bothered to put an actual song on top of it, or not bother pretending and just remove half the vocals

yeah, the 6 min one is the one i love. the shorter edit just confused me.

Single edit is pointless...the full version is just nuts and over the top and stupid and I love it.

everything about this is fantastic, actually

signed, ILM's last remaining M.I.A. fan

Louder Youtube version is here btw.

I almost voted for Nadia Oh. Found it uninspired on first listen then found myself singing it at random points in time. It's a cute song.
