THE 2012 ILM SUPER-MEGA YEAR-END ALBUMS 'N' TRACKS POLL™ is open for nominations! (ends Sunday January 6)

shocked Turn on the Lights hadn't been nominated yet tbh, figured that'd be one of the first ones in here

I would have nominated it but I'm kind of holding off. I'm just surprised a certain K**** W*** song hasn't been nommed yet.

i hate koala wish

dont like nominating as otherwise wont vote for other peoples nominations but not really feeling anything nominated yet

If you nominate stuff and campaign for it and it goes on the Spotify playlist, maybe other people will vote for it too!

gonna motion that The Block Brochure: Welcome to the Soil 1/2/3 all be considered one nomination, they were available as one set and iirc we put both E-40 albums in last year's poll in as one entry.

That one's been on my to-buy list for a while

Cool, I just removed the "1" and any vote for it will be a vote for the whole release.

― Raymond Cummings, Wednesday, December 12, 2012

Way to split the Taylor vote

yeah

everybody just vote for 'i knew you were trouble'

shouldn't be an issue tbh

I'm sure we go over this every year, but I can never remember the rules: Is Bonnie Prince Billy's new version of "I See a Darkness" eligible?

'i see a darkness' is only eligible in odd-numbered years

I've already drawn up a potential list of 30 or so albums to vote for based on the nominations so far!

I liked "triple threat" ok!

the idea of voting for (or even nominating) multiple songs from the same album instead of just, like, voting for the album is so weird to me

was wondering the same thing about Miguel's Art Dealer Chic EPs, which were not released as one set.

For the purposes of our poll, I'm going to consider Art Dealer Chic as a single release.

Future - Astronaut Status
V/A - Moda Black

I'd like to nominate the following three albums...

John Foxx & The Maths - Evidence
Bloc Party - Four
Hugh Cornwell - Totem And Taboo

Will think of some more, as well as tracks...

I'd also like to thank whoever it was that put the Daily Bread album on the nominations list, thus leading me to check it out last night... I fucking love it!

Yeah, that was a late-in-the-year discovery of mine, but I fell in love with it immediately.

ALBUMS

Among Wolves - This Is A Wave Goodbye
Pink - The Truth About Love
ZZ Top - La Futura

12/15

Haha dbs you took care of about six things I was intending to nominate.

Meridian Brothers - Guaracha U.F.O (No Estamos Solos...)

La Lech posted this on my wall a bit ago, I really like it.

Death to indie cumbia.

For a second, I thought that was a lex post.

Haha.

x-post

Actually La Lechera probably knows more than me about cumbia, but I'm not into this Meridian Brothers stuff. There's so much trippy cumbia that is less calculated.

can u point me in the direction of 'less calculated' trippy cumbia then, rudipherous?

Yes, please do. (No snark intended.)

Yeah, stop hatin' and start nommin' ;)
(Just so no one gets the wrong idea, I don't know all that much about nu-cumbia, have traditionally preferred the old fashioned sounding stuff but I knew emil.y would like that track)

For the record though, aside from the sloppy cumbia Iron Man, I don't see what's not to like about Ondatrópica -- it's recorded so well, and sounds so *right* for that costeño Colombian sound that I feel like dismissals based on Iron Man cover are pretty kneejerk. I'm not in love with the Ana Tijoux track either, but there is a lot to love on that album!

Ja, seeing as 'funny noises' is basically my #1 consideration for what I like in music, LL was pretty much spot on in recommending it to me.
