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.

THROW YOUR WALLETS IN THE SKY.

soooo it's the kim kardashian song with a weirder beat and much much less of a tune

the appeal of this song isn't really the nonexistent tune

soooo it's the kim kardashian song with a weirder beat and much much less of a tune

or, to put it another way, it's nothing like the Kim Kardashian song

PICTURE ME TROLLIN

lol

Nadia Oh is fantastic to dance to - even more bubblegum than most moombahton, which isn't exactly averse to catchiness. I highly recommend "No Bueno", too:

Er, "Taking Over The Dancefloor" is fantastic to dance to, etc.

There's something pathological about its dead-eyed robotic determination to annoy and bludgeon you onto the dancefloors. It is transcendently irritating and all the better for it.

Nadia Oh is fantastic to dance to

toooo sloooooow

lex didn't you just call it "kind of a monster"

I was always surprised her first album didn't really take off. It's packed with potential hits. I suppose her vocals would be the issue for a lot of people.

If you can't dance to that Nadia Oh track you're doing it wrong.

Whoa watching and hearing that waka flocka for the first time and just found out a friend from France that I hadn't spoke with in years is dancing in there. Just messaged her and it's really her...

Not really interesting but it grabbed me by surprise. Not really feeling the song but dancing bear is great tho.

lex didn't you just call it "kind of a monster"

i changed my mind again before the song ended

oh, duly noted

toooo sloooooow

hahaa wait, weren't you all over "Wut"'s jock last year

The Nadia Oh sounds promising but it lacks some 'oomph'... really like it... is this a demo or a rough draft? It sounds like it could use some extra mixing.

idk i think if the nadia oh didn't have pretensions to being a dance-pop song it'd work much better? if you're gonna be dance-pop you have to be CATCHIER and FASTER
