ILM's Top 77 Tracks of 2012

I may have argued FOR its inclusion in 2008, but I completely see now why it shouldn't have happened.

i hadn't heard mungolian jetset before this list introduced it to me i should be allowed to vote for it next year

Yes because mungolian jetset is synonymous with ubiquity.

has anyone else had the problem of having background vocals going "oooooh fuerte" running through their mind continuously since monday?

BUMP for zach to finish his rundown and for others to start theirs

If I have one complaint about Bring In The Katz, it's that the guy's voice is mixed just a bit too loud - like a radio DJ cutting the rest of the music out so he can talk over it. Other than that, it's mega.

it's wot you make it

i had the misfortune of being tricked into hearing blawan bodies out this wknd

a terrible "house party" 97% full of quasi-crusty wispy-bearded eunuchs called ben playing dry bass to each other in a dark kitchen

twas the absolute sodding pits

ewwwww, my sympathies

at my housse party we played sweet female attitude

ha i played that in the warm up

not sure if this is a point in "inspector norse"'s favor or not, but i did notice that it was rates as one of the singles jukebox's top 5 songs last year, which gives more credence to the idea that it could be loved by an audience wider than balearic heads or w/e

apropos of nothing but i really did not listen to climax enough. i will now listen to climax 8 more times.

include the links again too plz!!

links would really make it a super-useful resource btw pls ty

The HTML is pretty clean, I can easily extract the images and links from the thread source but I'm not sure what to do with them then.

because you bumped nicely

41. NENEH CHERRY AND THE THING "Dream Baby Dream” – freaky, I was dreading two 8:30 versions of the same song but they’re both fantastic and fresh enough to keep me going. can’t imagine choosing to listen to either in the wild, though.
40. MIGUEL "Use Me" – I like the repetition of the best part at the end but this doesn’t really do anything for me that other miguel songs don’t already do. same problem as the first Dawn, too messy sounding. it’ll probably grow on me.
39. CHERYL COLE "Call My Name (Royal-T's Back to 99 Remix)" – this sounds nice
38. DEATH GRIPS "I've Seen Footage" – was a fan at first but got bored of it pretty quickly.
37. RIHANNA "Birthday Cake (Funkystepz Miami Bass Mix)" – lol good
36. KALENNA "Matte Black Truck" – YES perfect one of the best beats of the year and she is perfect, just her enunciation in the chorus which is written to make a point of enunciation – crank wu-tang in my matte-black-truck is some nabakovian shit. the squeal on the ceiling is the best though.
35. KANYE WEST FT. BIG SEAN, PUSHA T & 2 CHAINZ "Mercy" – assquake
34. CHIEF KEEF FT. LIL REESE "I Don't Like" – favorite beat of the year maybe, and keef has to be THE GREATEST RAPPER OF ALL TIME
33. JEREMIH "773 Love" – no not into it sry, but I’m also a jeremih purist I guess *shrugshrugshrug*
32. LE1F "Wut" – don’t understand anyone who thinks this is badly mixed. everything about it is perfect.
31. KW GRIFF FT. PORK CHOP "Bring in the Katz" – oh lol, definitely heard this on the radio this year, didn’t know this was a thing? sometimes reminds me too much of this classic from 08.
30. M.I.A. "Bad Girls" – indeed this exists, hey the super bowl’s this week
29. TAYLOR SWIFT "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" – no I don’t want to think about this song anymore
28. ZEBRA KATZ FT. NJENA REDDD FOXXX "Ima Read" – 10/10 perfect never change
27. SCOTT WALKER "Epizootics!" – well at times I felt like I was about to be murdered so good job I guess
26. ANGEL HAZE "Werkin' Girls" – same as her other one sort of, it’s great but doesn’t hook me – think I need to listen to the whole ep
25. BAT FOR LASHES "Laura" – need to be reminded to listen to this more, never really cared for BFL (and really hated “Daniel”) but this might be great. feels part of a specific tradition I’m too tired to pinpoint right now but I’ve loved every one of those songs it can be compared to.
24. JESSIE WARE "110%" – I like this one, I think at the jukebox I called it something like “a midday stroll down a hidden path”, and I always think this is the one called “running”
23. FRANK OCEAN "Thinkin' Bout You" – good song [5000wd thinkpiece goes here]
22. SAINT ETIENNE "Tonight" – this is st etienne? o_0 ok
21. KENDRICK LAMAR FT. GUNPLAY "Cartoon & Cereal” – guess I should listen to this album huh

aw

really?

inspectornorse youtube channel only has one video, from nine months ago

https://www.youtube.com/user/inspectornorse

according to this fest website rev's right

http://www.cphdox.dk/d/film.lasso?e=1&ser=1966

"Whateverest" is - thankfully/unfortunately - a mockumentary, created from the Norwegian DJ and producer Todd Terje's electronic universe, and acts as an extended music video to his track "Inspector Norse".

someone should really delete the last few posts because the thing's p amazing if you don't know (it's kind of too perfect but still)

I like the Whateverest film tho! And even if it was otherwise terrible, it would be worth it for that isolated "Snooze 4 Love" melody at the beginning.

ha, well I hadn't watched past the first minute yet since I'm at work

I listened to the rest of "It's the ARPs" this morning and phreow Track 3 is so strong, anyway

bump 4 zach to finish his countdown, and for others to start theirs

i'll finish tomorrow but at least one other person better do it too

last night i dreamt miguel had a song with the opening line "I've never really tired of the Rubiks Cube"

Sounds more like a Frank line to me.

oooookay, so i spent a week reading/listening here and rather than boring you with impressions I'll just say thanks
several new tracks i didn't know, many GREAT songs and a good opportunity to reassess what I had listened to and discarded months ago
and now i have to start the albums thread.

Good luck!

i may need it. slogging through Animal collective now. woof.

it's not a dinner party without forks

i mean i'd be happy to comment on any of these, having listened to everything multiple times but i don't know that i can say anything better than it's already been said.

'whateverest' hit a little too close to home ;_;

i was going to do a whateverest thread

i was searching for it in various places last week and then they go and upload it to vimeo

lol gr8080

I was kinda expecting that dan deacon "call me maybe" remix thing to place, actually. This year's "u smile ambient"

'u smile ambient' was released this year iirc? wasn't it the slowed down versh of 'friday' that kicked everything off?

u smile paulstretch was 2010!
