TRACKS

i haven't really done much side-by-side comparison of the HB albums but i think Arrow is similar to The Mountain and at least slightly superior

The Fatoumata Diawara album nommed above was a 2011 release, and it was also nominated in last year's poll. (By me, probably.)

TRACKS

Saint Lou Lou - Maybe You
Death and Vanilla - Rituals

30/30 i'm done!

Thx for catching that, mtd

My focus is on albums this year, as it's the poll I'm running, so I can tell you that we're on pace to have more noms this year than last (756 total for 2011, already 643 for 2012 with over a week left).

Last year's tracks noms topped 1200. This year's list is fast approaching 1000, so keep them coming.

Fatou album released in america this year on nonesuch, I helped promote it!

Oh shit, guess I'd better put it back on.

TRACKS

The Jacka ft J Stalin - O.M.G

If you're worried about the nomination cap, you can have this one for free - the Tensnake remix was already nominated.

Thanks - I actually prefer the original and want to vote for that one, although I assume both are being counted together?

This is the idea I floated upthread, and I think I'll run with it:

- Once a track has been nominated, anyone can nominate any remix (or the original version) of that track without affecting their nominations cap.
- When votes are being tallied, all remix votes are counted towards the original but we record how many points each version got and we give this breakdown during the rollout.
- Each voter can only vote for a single version of any given track.

Glad somebody else is loving that Lonnie Holley!
I will officially throw down for
Fucked Up - Year of the Tiger

Sharon Van Etten - Tramp

TRACKS
El-P - The Full Retard

ALBUMS

Ben Klock - Fabric 66
Gabby & Lopez - Twilight for 9th Street
John Daly - Sunburst
Shed - The Killer

20/30

people who like vatican shadow and silent servant should check out the shed album. people who like warm immaculately produced deep house should check out the john daly album. people who like smith & mudd and other ambient/balearic/folk ish should check out the gabby & lopez (warning: extremely chill.)

tempted to nominate the official "Birthday Cake" because as shameful as it is to rep for a track w/ Chris Brown on it, fuck this 'funkystepz' shit

..................

i actually typed each of those periods in separately, that's how disappointed i am with you.

lol!

Albums:

Martin Eden - Dedicate Function

8/25

sorry i just don't get 'dance' remixes that are just mildly awkward versions of songs that were danceable to begin with

Was that to me? I didn't know these were remixes, tbh. I'm a big Eluvium fan so I checked this out, and while I don't like as much as any Eluvium album, I found myself listening to it at work nonstop the past two weeks.

If that wasn't referring to me, disregard. :)

ALBUMS

Marie Fisker - So, Hoes & Heroes

Danish Lynchian Americana, she's notable for past vocals for and remixes by Trentemoller. Available on Spotify, though I can't seem to add it to the ILM Albums playlist.
