owen pallett is a pop vocalist you absolute clown

dang, I don't think I'd heard this one? it sounds really good to me right now

lorenzo mix of 'touch' was my number 1 / is the best thing ever but both are essential and need each other. follow-up was the excellent 'i know'.

This was me also - you my man.

Also fuck yeah at "Babylon System" placing.

And "The Riverbed"

Loving this Owen Pallett track. Really didn't think I enjoyed him all that much so I've dismissed most of the stuff he's done but, shit, "The Riverbed" is fucking great.

Hope it was On A Path and we still have a chance.

It was, it was, but I don't know that it'd beat out 'the Riverbed', I definitely thought of that as the more consensus pick.

I listened to In Conflict just enough this year to know how good it is, but not enough to pick out individual songs which I would've voted for. I'm glad other people did that work.

owens music is cool imo tho its not something im often in the mood to jam to

wanna learn how to play "the riverbed" drums so bad

hmm listened to 'has a good home' and 'he poos clouds' a lot way back when but gone off him recently, vocals are just too in the background. a bit too these new puritans.

I need to listen to this, cos Heartland was amazing.

christ the video too

when a) the strings come in and b) the strings resolve in major key it's like...i die

this is the best song that will be in this poll (barring dawson miracles) so enjoy it folks :) x

forks named it "ILX 2014 - 77 Best Tracks of the Year"

When I type this or "ILX 2014" in, nothing turns up. When I search "ILX", I get "ILX Has a Bucket" and "ILX Pre-Covers Hesitation Marks" but nothing else, other than "Acura ILX".

I really love "The Riverbed" (and OP's vocals) btw; was probably top 10 for me. What sort of vocalist do people want to hear over this? Justin Timberlake??

xposts

second confounding these new puritans comparison itt

"Acura ILX" <<its this one

obv by 'strings' i mean the legato droney ones not the staccato ones that drive the whole song, pedants

Taking issue with OP's vocals just doesn't make sense to me one bit.

Owen and Joel Gibb from The Hidden Cameras sort of operate in the same part of the spectrum vocally, which is like warm butter imo.

hey I'm back

hmm i think i maybe accidentally voted for the same song twice in my tracks ballot? seandalai maybe you can confirm/deny if that's the case. not sure if my XL spreadsheet differs from what i submitted.

yeah you're right - the second vote will have been ignored

I love Owen Pallett 's album but I can easily understand why his vocals turn some off.

sund4r open the spotify web link in the opening post, click follow, then boot up yr spotify

you can c+p the link I think

23 TAYLOR SWIFT "Out of the Woods" [376 points, 11 votes]
http://grooveshark.com/#!/s/Out+Of+The+Woods/7cgMuB

oh yeah, makes sense

sund4r: I gave up on spotify a long time ago. at first i couldn't use it because Canada, but then i was supposedly allowed – but could never ever get it working.

great song

Perhaps my favorite Swift song, it's so so great.

^grooveshark link works fine for me on chrome w/ adblock; on iPhone I have to listen to a few seconds of an ad and it works fine there too

saer will be happy, woods involved

Hmm, didn't expect this to be one of the upcoming Swift songs in the poll. Don't know why not. People liked it when it leaked, and I guess they still do.

every song on the next taylor record will be about a different tree in the woods

But not a cabin, that's where shes missing a trick.

saer will be happy, woods involved

what? its about leaving the woods! subject matter is already baffling to me before Ive heard a single note

lol

Taylor Swift is such a mediocre person.

cool. i love the last two songs but didn't vote for either. My OP pick was 'On A Path' and my Swift pick was 'Clean'.

sund4r open the spotify web link in the opening post, click follow, then boot up yr spotify

This works, thx. (C+p-ing the link was the first thing I tried btw but it didn't work either. I feel you, Thermo.)

xposts Holy shit, this is really a Taylor Swift song?

haha not if you're listening to Spotify, it's a cover version

saer really is mvp of this rollout

Oddly enough I don't hate the Taylor Swift singles this year as much as the ones from previous years but I still don't get all the love for her thing. From a very far distance this sounds influenced by Kate Bush.

i like this song but i am now very worried that taylor will be #1

Out of the Woods is fantastic!

(Sleeve, I was listening to Grooveshark.)

I was the #1 vote for "About The Money" XD XD XD

How'd ya figure that? Prob too many songs to vote for: votes will be spread, so no no.1 I think. Think Two Weeks will be #1

kinda hope neither "two weeks" nor "blank space" is no. 1 but i'm not sure what a reasonable substitute would be

I was the #1 vote for "About The Money" XD XD XD

all time classic vine

this grooveshark site is horrible, offensive to have to use something like that, who would use a site like that

but on the other hand I have a lot of time for the fact she took her music off spotify, its hers to do whatever she likes with and she doenst owe anyone an explanation. she sounds uncomfortable singing this, maybe because of the horrible drums. rest of it was reasonably bland, i'll take that at this stage
