ILM's Top 77 Tracks of 2012

This Pulp song is actually alright.

I checked out the 2010 Mena song and it isn't nearly as good as the 2012 Mena song.

I like the dramatic strings in the background of the Pulp.

cocker sounds even more smug in his old age than when he was archly smugging all over the 90s

at least murphy had a genuine peak once though on the basis of this it's firmly in the past

jarvis cocker is just the worst

the actual worst, and symptomatic of so much wrong with british culture in 2012/13

fuck james murphy too tbh

blur is still to come, lex!

lol I think I actually like this track more after reading lex's and tpp's reactions.

i really hope you're joking. if not i need to start practising my deep breathing exercises now

Thank god there was no Oasis single this year.

this dawn richard song is the best thing i've heard from her (certainly better than anything i heard on the new album)

Whatever you guys are gonna vote for next? A Noel Gallagher b-side?! xps

Erm, that Dawn Richard song is on the new album.

I ha no idea Alunageorge was in My Toys Like Me. Always enjoyed them

this g-dragon is fucking insane + amazing, jeeeeesus

yes!!! to G-dragon, that is

you're right! i must've missed it xxxp

I love "Crayon". It makes me happy.

this dude (g-dragon) is like my gf's hall pass

i nearly voted for "crayon" and i'm really glad it made it. song is batshit.

also i really love that the pulp song is a disco song but i don't know if 2012 jarvis is an effective disco diva

wth, I didn't know there was a new Pulp song last year either, and I travelled 12 hours to see them live! This is fab. many xps

ugh this pulp song has killed my javiera mena good mood, may as well be the guy from the divine comedy. i quite like the g dragon

thank god i don't have to listen to this. what was it, hip-hop?

thank god i don't have to listen to this.

Your loss. It's amazing.

Didn't vote for this but YESSSS!

Crayon - one of those, never heard of it, wtf is this moments, and then I look at YouTube counter: 18,773,967.

at this point my inability to get k-pop is all me rather than it, but while i can appreciate the batshitness i can't really get past how everything seems like a novelty record

the 2ne1 song from last year is a v honourable exception

Relevant thread: BIGBANG: K-pop princes of gender-fuckery and family dysfunction

I prefer the other G-Dragon track where he's biting Weezy and has a BABY TIGER ON A LEASH. And a baby bear just wandering round looking cute.

This G-Dragon is fun but kind of a mess. I don't know if I can do Guetta-pop bosh and tarp beats in the same song. Cool that a non-Gangnam K-rap song made the list tho.

is this the same? if yes then i didn't miss anything.

I'd put good money on some BIGBANG tracks appearing later

because in germany that link contains a copyright violation and is forbidden!

The main problem I have with 'Crayon' is that the pun is so laboured. For a good pun, you need both sides to be resonant, not just "oh yeah, get your cray on", and a fucking child's drawing implement. BAH.

btw as starter of the javiera mena thread I unreservedly recommend both mena and esquemas juveniles, both excellent front-to-back, some of the best music released last decade

how many HOOOOOOOOOEEEEEEEEEES

love "my cabana" tho i think it juuust missed my ballot due to assuming others would pick up my slack

how many HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOES?

How many HOOS?

for some reason i didn't realise til now that he styles his name "ty dolla $ign" these days rather than "ty$"

I don't actually like My Cabana very much at all but the 'HOW MANY HOOOOOEEEEEEEES' bit is hilarious.

haha that bit makes the song

iirc everyone in the ty$ thread had differing interpretations of it. mine was

- it's the second "HOOOOOOEEEEES" that pushes it over the top - like you have the first sudden passionate one cutting through the ~party smoke~ and then the second descending one is like "no i REALLY mean it"
- i initially envisaged a situation where ty$ has stockpiled all these hoooooooeees in his cabana and is feeling pretty smug about life and then he suddenly looks around and they are all talking to each other and none of them are looking at him - it has this sudden solitude about it
