i don't think i hear it as a problem in any context.
oh I agree - I just meant that it's an exchange that is both ambiguous and yet feels emotionally true regardless of how you interpret it.

The Anybody Wanna Buy a Heart? singles will probably be old and uncool by this time next year, so I was really disappointed Love 'Em All made such a poor showing.

Popcaan suffered from vote splitting it seems
― danzig, Thursday, 22 January 2015 22:15 (nine years ago) link
xpnot really complaining. there's been no crossover tracks or even consensus among the board's tiny number of dancehall partisans for years. Spice not appearing is disappointing as I would think a wider range of posters would like her
popcaan should show up in the albums poll next week, which is cool and an unexpected turn for the genre

Thanks, Gr80! My favourite discovery of the day, btw, turns out to be Bobby Shmurda! Such roiling menace!

well i guess this should be the last EOY ilm poll ever, it was a good run
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 22 January 2015 22:17 (nine years ago) link
Terrible verses on "2 On" aside, I thought Schoolboy would at least place a track. "Man of the Year" was in my top ten (and "Collard Greens" the only other bearable track on that record).

I'm confused. As a newb, is Shmurda really in critical condition or no? Care for the kid now since this poll :-/

i also like that the system rewards enthusiasm rather than bottom-of-ballot consensus (contra what some seem to think). nicki minaj was #77 with 5 votes, presumably all high; whereas 6 votes, presumably all low, only got route 94 to #264.

more than anything I will treasure the utter bafflement of my stepson and daughter-in-law when they showed up at our house last night and L and I were plowing through 40-21, they were like "this is not what we expected you to be listening to"
thanks everyone, great job, I am now officially a Nicki Minaj fan

I was convinced he'd have, like, 4 votes, not 4 number ones. So great, thank you all.
Also, I like all of the top 3 tracks, which I'm pretty sure doesn't usually happen?

it is! i literally spent a whole day going through the entire ILX list of lists and i became obsessed
v happy about "2 on" and "vermillion" placing in the top 10. i was one of the people who gave the latter a [10] on TSJ. it has come to represent the past 2 years of my life, so that's why i find it so precisely resonant and painfully relatable
i've been known to get way 2 on dancing to 2 on in the club, it's such a wonderful song
