This is another one I heard for the first time over the weekend. Sounds very much like both of them phoning it in.

the two k-pop tunes are good. Thanks to the voters - I completely spaced on k-pop this year and obviously that was a mistake.

That is just the product of a sound generating software, isn't it? The emperor's new clothes if there ever have been any.

Lest we forget:
Sounds like the answer to some sort of football question
‘have man u ever lost to mk dons dad?’
‘only once away my son’

I think the Kelela track is the only one on the list so far that I've listened to prior to today. Lots of catching up to do.

Really good day apart from the very end and beginning of today (Despatchio and those couple of 5+ min eelctronic tracks, which I think are ok but wasn't in the mood for).
― xyzzzz__, Monday, 22 January 2018 18:47 (six years ago) link
Despacito stil has the most votes...
― Ich bin kein Berliner (alex in mainhattan), Monday, 22 January 2018 18:49 (six years ago) link
TIE-67 TWICE "Likey" [158 points, 5 votes] Damn, that's a tune! Good stuff ILM...
TIE-63 JESSIE WARE "Midnight" [160 points, 6 votes]This is totally a highlight on the album! Whole album was great though, grabbed me more than anything else I've heard by her.

Kudos. It might as well be.

I must admit though ive played it 5 or 6 times as it is a bit addictive

ha, I don’t take the limmy thing as an insult, the gurning wonkiness of it is a huge part of its charm imo
― faust apes (NickB), Monday, 22 January 2018 19:23 (six years ago) link
Limmy's Turkish Delight techno track ought to have been nominated in one of these

I deeply regret voting for Bicep’s Glue over Blue Pedro, having now seen the video for the latter.

I absolutely adore Wear Black. The album concept is a+ too although I'm not taken by every song but that song man... Just perfect
― Badgers (dog latin), Monday, 22 January 2018 19:49 (six years ago) link
This Laurel Halo track is much warmer and more playful than other stuff I've heard by her, is the rest of the album in this vein?
Excellent first day btw.
― Matt DC, Monday, 22 January 2018 20:33 (six years ago) link
Votes thrown at this Eno + Shields thing feel like a lifetime achievement award. Like, "I wish I could vote for Discreet Music and Loveless in every poll, so this'll have to do."
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 22 January 2018 20:35 (six years ago) link
^^A respectable position imo
― No purposes. Sounds. (Sund4r), Monday, 22 January 2018 20:36 (six years ago) link
Surprised to enjoy the Kedr Livanskiy thing. Kelela is p interesting as well. I didn't get around to the Laurel Halo in 2017; unsurprisingly enjoyable.
― No purposes. Sounds. (Sund4r), Monday, 22 January 2018 20:43 (six years ago) link
Matt, the rest of the laurel album is nothing like this track
― kolakube (Ross), Monday, 22 January 2018 20:44 (six years ago) link
it's good but most of the rest of the tracks on it feel a lot looser, more kind of an arthur russell-ish approach to melody maybe
― faust apes (NickB), Monday, 22 January 2018 20:53 (six years ago) link
From what I can see, Blue Pedro has one single solitary ILM mention prior to being nominated for this poll. Is that some kind of record?
― Matt DC, Monday, 22 January 2018 20:57 (six years ago) link
Last year, the Comet Control track that somehow got in hadn't been mentioned at all before I nominated it!
― #TeamHailing (imago), Monday, 22 January 2018 21:00 (six years ago) link
chelsea should adopt blue pedro as their club tune instead of that bubbles rubbish
― faust apes (NickB), Monday, 22 January 2018 21:11 (six years ago) link
More of a Pompey vibe really.

I specifically voted for Delicate of all the t Swift songs because I thought it had the best chances, did not expect LWYMMD to place and seriously hoping it's not the only one off the album to show up
― josh az (2011nostalgia), Monday, 22 January 2018 22:15 (six years ago) link
Ha it just occurred to me that I nominated Blue Pedro

Despacito would have made an excellent #78, for the following reason

also, while the Avalon Emerson isn't quite my thing, the video is a strong candidate for video of the year
