thread of miguel

it was pretty great, sound could've been better though - vocals not loud enough! the "quickie"/"arch & point" encore was amazing.

He did Adorn like three different times, and it was nice to hear a crowd sing it all together, but not as nice as hearing his actual voice. It was very guitar-driven, even more than I was expecting based on an album full of guitars, but his band were pretty tight and fun. I did have to laugh though when, after singing about sex and drugs and taking his top off, he put his clothes back on and gave a speech about the horrors of genocide as an introduction to Candles In The Sun. Ultimate buzzkill.

Go-Go remix of "Adorn"

that is an excellent thing

yeah i heard it on the radio the other night and it made me so happy

super-dope remix, that

"adorn" live - i think i FINALLY get it

still think calling it the best song is nuts, but i think i might love it properly at last

btw ship I tihnk we made the same lance joke w/i 10 min of each other =O

haw

lol Miguel tweeted with Manti Te'o's imaginary girlfriend

"Do You..." is a wonderful song, but it sounds really out of place and unwelcome on rap radio

Its rap and r'n'b radio, and it sounds fine

it sounds mildly out of place and very welcome imo

i started listening to this because of the year end songs poll

i can't stress how much i did not expect to hear a zombies cover on this album

really good, he's a great singer

*sigh* I guess I just have to root for Kaleidoscope Dream to win the albums poll now

let's hope

i think i gave frank my no 1... i can't remember

yeah can't believe adorn placed lower in ilm than in p&j.

i suspect miguel will win the albums

haha no way unfortunately

who are the main contenders? ocean, yeah, but that's mostly the same voting bloc and miguel seems way more popular on ilm.

there will be vote splitting between the album and the collected EPs

nah frank ocean will beat miguel in albums, it's a lock

i kinda don't think Art Dealer Chic will siphon more than a couple votes away from KD? i dunno, seems like a small stubborn minority opinion.

i had miguel top 5 in albums and no frank fwiw - i think its a possibility

so did i but it seems like such an astronomical long shot, would be willing to be on this.

[spoilers] I voted for ADC and not kaleidoscope because 1. 2:19 adorn 2. ...ALL 3. you can kill me if 'kaleidoscope' misses the #1 by 49 points or less

"...all" is on kaleidoscope dream. deluxe edition bonus track or something. so is "gravity"

yeah I know but it feels out of place after 'candles in the sun'

I'm being petty mad at miggy for not sequencing it right.

and if you rep for the deluxe edition that means you're also gonna have to rep for the adorn remix w/ wiz khalifa

imo "All" is a much better ending to the album than nu-"Candles". in my mind the album has 13 tracks.

i have the Target edition of the CD, which has "Gravity" and "All" but not the Wiz remix :)

Channel Orange crossed over much more than Kaleidoscope Dream, I'd think. I can imagine a lot of people who haven't heard KD (or any other r'n'b this year) putting CO in the lower half of their ballots.

exactly

imo "All" is a much better ending to the album than nu-"Candles".

otm

who are the main contenders? ocean, yeah, but that's mostly the same voting bloc and miguel seems way more popular on ilm

Kendrick might beat both of them.

i could see Kendrick beating Frank Ocean. but def not Miguel.

can't wait for the surprise grizzly bear win

I'm part of the silent majority of Kellie Pickler supporters.

I forgot to vote in ilm poll

miguel talks the 90s:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01480b8

Frank has a 0% chance of beating Miguel in albums

Kendrick is Miguel's main competition, Dawn is a dark horse contender. Other albums towards the top include Taylor, Swans, and Jessie

ha overestimating swans is really your thing huh

Haha maybe

I've just held the assumption that Miguel is more popular around these parts than Frank (who seems a lot more divisive here and has just never gotten quite a few people on board) for a while

not saying Miguel will necessarily beat Frank but it feels like there's a lot more enthusiasm for KD on ILM than CO. I could see it going either way.

a lot of 'visible enthusiasm' on ILM has more to do with who chooses to post at length about what than what they're listening to. there are plenty of indie bands that don't attract active threads during the year and then dominate ILM's year-end threads.

Idk mane songs @ 40, 17, & 3 imply a heavier voter bias than 23 & 20 do

ok so who's taking my $5 bet on this.

[spoilers] I voted for ADC and not kaleidoscope because 1. 2:19 adorn 2. ...ALL 3. you can kill me if 'kaleidoscope' misses the #1 by 49 points or less

wow you're an asshole

(...says the guy who didn't vote)

i feel pretty confident that kendrick will beat both by a lot but frank and miggy will probably be close. gut feeling tells me frank beats him out though. way more mainstream exposure
