The meme actually came from Chaki's putdown of house music in some unrelated post.
― Tuomas, Wednesday, 9 May 2012 20:40 (twelve years ago) link
ah yes
passion (sometimes misinterpreted as crankiness) is what makes life worth living. without it you are a sting fan with milquetoast posting style or end up listening to gay, awful, horrible, house music all the time.

50 is too few options btw, I ended up with a 160 song shortlist. Ballot complete and sent.

Yeah, I nommed a Greek house tune by Αλλού, it's a collab between Savvas Ysatis and some other guy, and it's really dope (basically these half-spoken, half sung, kinda sleazy sounding vocals on top of deep and minimalist house beat). I used the Greeks letter because I don't how to translitterate them, the record sleeve has only Greek text. Here's Discogs link to the album, the track is called Όνειρα. Maybe someone here knows how to write it in Western alphabet?
― Tuomas, Tuesday, May 8, 2012 9:25 PM (Yesterday)
Kind've curious to hear this, Tuomas - is it on YouTube, or could you upload it to YT? Couldn't find it, but my Greek is about as good as you'd expect for someone from NZ.

I just realized I actually nominated the wrong Αλλού track, as I nommed it without listening to the album. The Late Great, can you change my nomination from "Αλλού - Όνειρα" to "Αλλού - Γυμνή Φωτογραφία". Thanks! (Not that I think many people are gonna vote for it, but just to be sure.)
Etc, I don't have a Youtube account, but you can find the track here. (That's the actual track I meant to nominate, not the wrong one.)

i see jaymc nominated this terrible digitalism track
Haha, I was actually surprised that it didn't get any blowback earlier.
― Carrie Antwoord (jaymc), Wednesday, 9 May 2012 21:01 (twelve years ago) link
Thanks Tuomas. I just bought that Αλλού CD..
― mmmm, Wednesday, 9 May 2012 21:24 (twelve years ago) link
ok cool, all of the things people have pointed out have been fixed (except removing bros and digitalism)
thanks all for your help
three ballots are in - everyone ranked theirs 1-50, i assume?
― the late great, Wednesday, 9 May 2012 21:48 (twelve years ago) link
Not a bad choice! The tracks are kinda samey (except for two that have a more electro/hip hop flavour), but the vibe is rather unique, and if you like that vibe, the album's consistently good.
― Tuomas, Wednesday, 9 May 2012 21:55 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah mine are ranked at least the top 20 are the rest were picked more randomly. There's 7 of pattern's votes in mine. 22 in my shortlist.
― Moka, Wednesday, 9 May 2012 23:39 (twelve years ago) link
Αλλού means 'elsewhere'
also ordered this CD

Now that I've posted my awful gay homo house list the rest of you are free to vote for that really real shit.

You didn't vote for any awful gay homo house though.
Shame on you.
― Tim F, Thursday, 10 May 2012 12:41 (twelve years ago) link
Whoa, when I nominated that Αλλού track, I didn't expect people would actually get interested in the record. That's great! :)
― Tuomas, Thursday, 10 May 2012 12:50 (twelve years ago) link
X-post But, but Ewan Pearson! And DJ Sprinkles!
Sigh, people around here have very high standards.
― pattern loader, Thursday, 10 May 2012 12:57 (twelve years ago) link
And Felix Da Housecat!
I admit I didn't vote for any Freemason's remixes but I did my best.

Which of awful, gay and/or homo is ewan pearson?
― Tim F, Thursday, 10 May 2012 13:06 (twelve years ago) link
I don't know I'm not speculating about the man's sexuality, but that Goldfrapp remix is not terribly hetero.
― pattern loader, Thursday, 10 May 2012 13:08 (twelve years ago) link
Perhaps it's DJ Naughty's contribution to it, I believe he had co-writing credit on that one.
― pattern loader, Thursday, 10 May 2012 13:10 (twelve years ago) link
Trust DJ Naughty.

Somewhere within me the nerdy whiteboy Moodymann fan is in a deadly struggle against the Euro electrohouse loving DJ.
Chinbeard vs. body wax? Truly an epic struggle.
― pattern loader, Thursday, 10 May 2012 13:35 (twelve years ago) link
If you were truly an awful gay homo you would know that you can have both a chinbeard and a body wax.
― Tim F, Thursday, 10 May 2012 13:41 (twelve years ago) link
Sorry, I'm being distracted by Tuomas' Greek thing at the moment. And I'll consider my awful gay homo status revoked.
I've got a lot of High NRG I need to sell, anybody want my Patrick Cowley records?

When you move on to a new thread, can you put a link on the old thread (as I've just done)? Some of us just check bookmarked threads 90% of the time, rather than scanning all the new answers. Cheers.

I love 'Barbara Morgenstern', but it's not really danceable is it? Maybe I'm wrong. Don't want to open up that debate again though!
