Frankie Knuckles Remix
OK, I've listened to "Blind" 20 times today. It's the harmonies on that "I feel blind" that get me each time (something that gets lost in the Frankie Knuckles remix), and the beat right after that where the horns come in and I imagine all the dry ice around the dance floor going whoooosh and all the shirts coming off.― Eazy
"blind" when played in a club (and preferably the "club mix") just sounds like it has come from outer space. the vocal makes me feel how i imagine it would be to be on opium. so warm inside!― stirmonster
i know im just jockin but that frankie knuckles remix with antony makes me want to go down on dudes, in a good way― max
TS: Original vs Knuckles remix. I'm generationally pre-disposed to side with the smoooooth dad-house of the latter...― mike t-diva
I think (maybe with some time, to echo arguments made elsewhere on ilm these days) that knuckles remix might stand out as one of the better things to come out of H&LA. in context, it's proper garage, done like no other nowadays. it's lush, the production is both restrained and faultless. and I agree that tune is impossibly catchy!- blunt
trying to fight "paper planes" as the crit song of 08 is futile guys
― your infinity in you is mad lifted (J0rdan S.), Friday, 6 February 2009 23:51 (fifteen years ago) link
To me the issue isn't so much being stuck in a meaningless contemporary world, etc., but living in this artificially extended childhood with the knowledge that that's what it is. Going to shows, getting cool haircuts, meeting girls, and whirling around bonfires on the beach, all full of joy and beauty but also knowing that sooner or later you're going to graduate and have to "get jobs at offices and wake up for the morning commute." That line could have been a disaffected sneer, a hope-I-die-before-I-get-old moment, but there's a great sadness in teh performance; even as they say they're choosing their life of inane rock and roll adventure over the morning commute, they seem painfully aware a) that the rock and roll thing has its own miseries, and b) that they most likely WILL end up getting jobs at offices. The song's not a manifesto for debauchery, it's a lament for the end of youth.
^^this is not actually a profound revelation, like, in the slightest, it's a feeling which is barely important enough to mention in passing on a livejournal, let alone have a pop song about

I'm still kinda weirded out about "The Rip"'s placement and people preferring anything on that album to "Machine Gun" in general.

dittz. my favourite off the album was 'we carry on', and i fully expect it to place justifiably high in the albums poll, but it seems...odd to nominate/vote for tracks separately. it's a coherent body of work and pulling it apart makes as much sense as pulling the erykah or lindstrom albums apart into their constituent parts, and maybe misses the point somewhat

I didn't specify if a remix version also got points (if it shows a remix it probably means the remix is the only thing that got voted for), this was a v quick and dirty list. Some of the numbers might be off since I just put it together but I will stand by it being 99.9% accurate.

damn my #1 (The Fall) just missed being top 50. I can take consolation in that.
― sleeve, Saturday, 7 February 2009 00:02 (fifteen years ago) link
Sleeve, I haven't heard that Fall song but I gave it a point or 2 on account of having seen descriptions of it. If I'd known, I'd have given it a few more.

"11 minutes of MES ranting about his age over varied and raucous instrumentation, including a crazed banjo" sounds like a riot IMO
― Robin van Injury (country matters), Saturday, 7 February 2009 00:04 (fifteen years ago) link
I think the point is when it applies to albums that are well more than the sum of their parts.
― The Reverend (rev), Saturday, 7 February 2009 00:05 (fifteen years ago) link
A+++++ job, musically

Yes, bravo once again to musically! God these polls are fun - and I'm finding some great new music too.
I think that might have been me! Mainly for Timb's opening address and my conviction that everybody's actually saying "varmints."

thanks everyone, and thanks for participating too, since i started doing this the number of ballots and votes has gone up considerably. like i said when i first started something with 2 votes made the top 50 so this is a lot better. and thanks to whoever set up ILX so youtube videos could embed, saves me the effort of finding a single cover and makes the poll a bit more interactive.
i'll start albums on Monday. there is definitely some craziness going on with the results so hopefully it will be as interesting.

*hopes that aforementioned craziness involves some sort of Late Of The Pier top-3 placing*

hen i first started something with 2 votes made the top 50
That was awesome tho! Something from a Yemeni oud festival that Rocket Scientist and Sundar voted for iirc?
― The Reverend (rev), Saturday, 7 February 2009 00:12 (fifteen years ago) link
I suspect a lack of metal due to the metal poll and everyone will have voted for mostly non-metal stuff(myself included hehe) Still a few albums that ranked high should sneak in the top 50 unless people didnt vote in both.But I wouldnt be surprised if it missed out too!
― Boring Sign In Name (Herman G. Neuname), Saturday, 7 February 2009 00:12 (fifteen years ago) link
actually I take back the M.I.A. vitriol if it means LADY GAGA isn't in the top 50.
― danzig, Saturday, 7 February 2009 00:13 (fifteen years ago) link
And yeh, cheers musically! I'll be going through all of that lot soon enough, seeing if I really did miss out on some stuff I'd have liked.
I think the two highest-placed metal tracks in this poll were ones I nommed :D and one of which (Torche) came fairly close to placing.
― Robin van Injury (country matters), Saturday, 7 February 2009 00:14 (fifteen years ago) link
thank you musically. I also gave "i hate this part" some love.
― danzig, Saturday, 7 February 2009 00:15 (fifteen years ago) link

Thoughts? Streaming link?

Ahmed Fathi is a singer and oudist from Yemen (I think it's Yemen) and I voted for him because Sundar nominated him and I figured, okay, what the heck, lets vote for Ahmed Fathi then. But the track in question is just part of this wonderful collection that resulted from an oud festival:

It's a good piece though.
(I never expected it to actually make the list. I guess this is the best evidence that this poll needed more participants.)

from the early days of the "blind" hype sometime in late '07, i've been trying to share the enthusiasm and have never mustered more than mild appreciation. it's ok, but, you know, it's no ting tings ... (i did have "hercules theme" on my ballot, tho)
(and oh yeah THANKS! musically. nice job.)
― paper plans (tipsy mothra), Saturday, 7 February 2009 00:16 (fifteen years ago) link

Oh yeah thanks for this musically!

xp Have you tried the Frankie Knuckles and/or Hercules Club mixes? One of them might be more your speed.
