pretty sure everything i would have wanted to vote for that has a nonzero chance of making the top 77 has been nominated. good work everybody :)

i think i will do the listen to every track nominated thing this year too

cool, i'll start a thread at the start of the year flopson. I'm already at "ad"

BTW, if anybody feels like putting us in the position of having every full length track on Kendrick's album on the list, the only ones we're missing are all fairly excellent: Institutionalized, Complexion, Mortal Man and "i" (which i guess was ostensibly the single and didn't chart on our list last year though it was released in notably different format in september of 2014!)

Destra - Lucy

Am I correct in understanding that Destra is the same singer as Destra Garcia, who also has a different song out that's called "Lucky"?

Yeah. Lucy is the better one though.

I see. I mistakenly played "Lucky" when you mentioned this track before, because that one is on Spotify, but yes, "Lucy" is better.

Right. Lucky is pretty standard soca fare imo. Lucy feels like... a moment. Its late 2014 release made me hesitate about nominating it but then I saw The Fader singling it out so I guess it belongs in here: http://www.thefader.com/2015/12/23/how-soca-taught-me-to-have-fun
It was definitely a cathartic 2015 moment for me when I first heard it this summer.

That's her on the Sanko Remix too, btw.

While I'm in here...

I love melancholic hedonism I guess.

I realise pretty much all the other Kelela tracks have been nominated already, but that one really stands out for me.

Oh some lovely nominations there!

I'm listening to the Eek - Kahraba. It's fucking phenomenal. This is to me what Omar Souleyman was to all the rest of you. Although I did quite like him too.

The last track is actually more of a sound installation but I'm nominating this as a track, if that's okay? I think it works.

Oh, and... 14/30
