I didn't know about this song at voting time but have heard it since, killer

I can get behind WoD but Grizzly Bear are the worst. It doesnt help that they have the most punchable faces in twig-rock.

there are people who aren't into bourbon?

Exactly!

Do like the contrast between the lush, smooth backing and the sing song voice with the lyrics.

"set it off like jada pinkett" is terrible tho

What happened to socially/politically concious rappers

<3 try me
like monument

no raccoon, no credibility

None Of Dem was the best Royksopp/Robyn collab

this is fucken A+

YouTube comments to be avoided, in particular.

all the charli xcx fans voted for "try me"

dej! my first track to place and my number 1!

shout out to my office mate who has walked in on me quietly singing this about 1000 times this year

oh dear i just looked at the comments D: h8 the world sometimes

"try me" is probably too cloudy and singsong for me to love but i grew to appreciate it after a while. still the second best rap song called "try me" of 2014 though.

i sort of file it alongside taylor swift's "you are in love" and indeed you can sort of sing them over each other; people who love them seem to really love them and feel really deeply to them, but i find them a bit slight and the melodies too simplistic for that. nice to see it nonetheless

try me... more crying and driving, roads must be jammed. i stay in the woods where there are no cars and i dont have to hear these awful records

how is 'try me' crying.... dead-eyed maybe but crying???

trying for no reason

have decided saer is posting during a peyote trip

Shit I scrolled down to see talk of the National and got scared they placed. Now that's a 'fuck boring white male grad student indie rock' crusade I can get behind. They didn't put anything out this year did they?

all autotune is crying

lol

"try me" is an a+ driving jam

Been hearing this Dej Loaf on the radio lately. Dig it. I just realized it kind of reminds me of Sean Kingston.

yeah man t-pain that suicide watch music xp

i do have a mortgage and it's really no different than rent really, you don't think about it unless you're coming up short like when my wife got laid off. but i don't think war on drugs was out then, don't know how i made it.

her album is ace

If try me placed this high eager to see where Bobby Shmurda places

when i'm worry about my rent i listen to pet shop boys. war on drugs is for other times.

fucked around gave him my number he won't stop calllling

it isnt mortgages thats the problem, its expensive cars that dont make you happy and you just end up crying the whole time. its hardly worth it!

kurt vile's last one was though, maybe i listened to that

but honestly call me a traditionalist but when i stare into the old mortgage void i go to old school stoner bummer shit like on the beach by neil young

Try Me is really nice. Love the swirly backing track and the disconnect from the lyrics. Video doesn't rly float my boat.

Oh wow I totally thought Dej was a dude til just now. Whoops.

try me... more crying and driving, roads must be jammed. i stay in the woods where there are no cars and i dont have to hear these awful records

saer you are making this thread great, i'm not even kidding here

<3 "Try Me"
<3 Dej Loaf

It's all about the contrast between how pretty it is and the deadpanned death threats imo.

i go darker, i go 'tonight's the night'

her outfits in the video >

guys do you think saer likes anything at all? maybe mcdonalds chicken nuggets?

i think i need to listen to this dej loaf on something other than headphones with no bass response

i like how her delivery gives the song a kind of rhythm it wouldn't have otherwise with that floaty beat

her outfits in the video >

Vintage Degeneration-X jersey!

I love wearing all black you should see my closet
Rock that all white when I'm feeling godly

already worried about the mortgage i don't have which sets me up to never have one, winning this rn

maybe mcdonalds chicken nuggets?

vegetarian, really not a fan of the global food industry, health reasons, environment, and animal welfare, 3 pretty big things and mcdonalds just miss the target on all of them. the sign is garbage as well, you would think by now it would have someone got alright with being a mainstay of the advertizing landscape but its actually got worse

never heard war on drugs don't know what autune is or crying and i fish for a living

digging this Robyn/Roksopp song a lot

makes a brother wanna re-fi

haha

Helvetica 'M' McDonald's sign

Predicting that to place in the teens.
