ILM's 2015 End of Year Albums & Tracks Poll / NOMINATIONS THREAD

JF what about chucking these in...

AURORA - Running with the Wolves
Mura Masa - Firefly
Pumarosa - Priestess
Tei Shi - Bassically

Tracks

S-Max - Occupying Orange

(21/30)

FIN!

Look for the voting thread to show up soon.

it is of considerable joy to me that saer got the last nomination in

i still have no idea if any of saer's nominations actualy exist, of course

And, well…

Sunkanmi ft CDJ – Marry Joanna (nominated earlier by etc.)

should read:

Sunkanmi ft CDQ – Marry Joanna

I haven't run the final check for duplicates yet, but we nominated 1,506 tracks and 1,162 albums. Ridiculous.

the other weird thing is that we forgot to nominate fetty wap or carly rae jepsen

j/k i now like both of those artists

All of musicfanatic's nominations seem REALLY cool to me. And I will prob check out all of fffv's album noms (even though I'd been avoiding that Father album up til now p much on principle)

Haha, drugs a., are you fucking with me? I have no sarcasm detector for the internetz.

JF I can handle the duplicates n stuff if you haven't already - just add them to the spreadsheet and shout

No, hahaha for some reason they just seemed really appealling just now when I read through them. Idk if Dicktails are still on NNF but they were def a part of the label during its time of its biggest impact on me, and Mark McGuire I liked ever since I heard "Brothers (for Matt)" on ILX five years ago, even though I lost track of anything he did afterwards.

Also, I always wanted to check out Surfer Blood.

(xp)

Ha, cool. It's just that most of my choices are boring, middle-of-the-road indie. Which I'm cool with, but most of ILM aren't.

ILM's 2015 End of Year Albums & Tracks Poll / VOTING THREAD

TRACKS

young thug - warrior

― flopson, Saturday, January 2, 2016 10:20 AM Bookmark

If this is the same thing as Metro Thuggin - Warrior, I already nominated it under that artist name

well ILX, you broke Spotify. We hit the limit on the album playlist but only barely; it shut down with musicfanatic's albums.

Otherwise, the singles list, albums list and albums sampler are all up to date and finished and i hate everyone.

Enjoy!

Tracks that appeared on the most EOY lists (that I had lying around) and weren't nominated:

Drake - Know yourself
Kanye west - All day
Florence and the machine - Ship to wreck
Travi$ scott - Antidote
Rabit - Pandemic
Jamie xx - Gosh
Empress of - Kitty kat
Bully - I remember
Boogie - Oh my
Big sean - Blessings
A$AP rocky - Everyday

And albums:

Motorhead - Bad magic
Keith richards - Crosseyed heart
Justin bieber - Purpose
Foals - What went down
Clutch - Psychic warfare
Adele - 25
Prodigy - The day is my enemy
Paul weller - Saturn's pattern
Micachu and the shapes - Good sad happy bad

oh shit, nobody got adele or biebs huh?

ALBUMS

Patty Griffin - Servant of Love
Sarah Bethe Nelson - Fast Moving Clouds

Micachu album is not great but I thought it had been nominated

Kinda bummed about Motorhead tbh

Also: musicfanatic, admittedly I thought those albums were a lot more hypnagogic/psychedelic at first blush...however, I listened to "Islands", by Surfer Blood, and that track was p cool (if not REALLY cool)

Anyways I wasnt fucking with you, I just flaked out a little

Oh my god, apparently 'Jeanne d'Arc' *is* 2015, just the 1st of January 2015. I was positive it was a '14 song. Right, that's going in my top ten.

thank you forks! though i'm sad that the Physics album that I nominated & is on Spotify didn't make it because I wrote the wrong title at first :( that album is so good and everyone should listen to it! it's called Only Forever. https://ctatsu.bandcamp.com/album/only-forever

9,960 songs! amazing. I guess the limit is 10k. or maybe 740 hours. i got about 2 thousand songs in my personal 'all the 2015 albums i've listened to' playlist and i was wondering if there was any kind of ceiling.

loooool i'm so glad "all day" did not get nominated. i was considering not nominating "only one" as i submitted my last-minute noms so kanye would get completely shut out of consideration for trax but i actually did find that one rather affecting. (tbh it's a bit too far down my "short"list to fit on my ballot anyways so i probably shouldn't have bothered lol.)

i have no idea why "blessings" showed up on so many of those lists, ppl actually liked that?

i killed two of the three discs of momus' turpsycore and added that physics album.

haha aw

(thanks!)

oh shit, nobody got adele or biebs huh?
--Does that make you mutter, under your breath, “Damn”? (forksclovetofu)

albums or singles? if the latter that should be rectified imho

Screw Adele, we forgot to nominate Mario Diaz de León!

obviously the bieber singles were nominated, pleased we shut out the album

really no idea why anyone would have expected the adele album to be nominated, when has ilm ever given a shit about her

"Rolling in the Deep" came in 78th one year iirc

yes, and it was perfect

ALBUMS
Michael Wollny - Nachtfahrten

2/30

I've added the last couple because I'm nice and don't have much going on today, but nominations are closed and I don't guarantee I'll keep up with things that get posted or written-in later in the process.

There seem to be a couple of versions of "Warrior" so I'm keeping them separate on the nominations list but I'll combine their votes.

ALBUMS

Paki & Visnadi - Imaginary Choreography

totally understand if you don't add this, just wanted to throw it out there cause it's REALLY great

i like adele

add Motörhead - Bad Magic. Great album.

Has this been rolled out yet? Been basically away from ILX for about a month.

you can still vote!

Voting is open until approximately Saturday morning UK time.

Lowtide - Julia

cover songs you did not expect to find in an EOY list

Joshua Abrams - Magnetoception

― Ari (whenuweremine)

Man I wish I had heard this sooner so I could have voted for it. It's a pretty great jazz-ish/world-ish/trip-ish record.

That was ~#3 on the Wire list iirc, not heard it yet though

I like Magnetoception a lot, though compared to genuine Gnaoua/Gnawa records its a bit reserved. Still most partial to the Laswell-touched Night Spirit Masters.

It was also on P4k's list of Best Experimental Records (but I found it via Marc Masters' Pazz n Jop ballot)

(and from the same ballot I've also found out about Heather Leigh's 'I Abused Animal' and Byron Westbrook's 'Precipice'. I guess it was a pretty good ballot)
