are you sure this is true about "Despacito"?
― morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 23 January 2018 12:23 (twenty-nine minutes ago) Permalink
Perhaps more than any of them. The minute it came one I felt my core tense up like when the phone goes and its someone selling insurance for a car I don't have (which is partly why I gave the phone away to a local fistfighter)
Though there are two kinds of anxiety in a boxes out of these. The visceral ones like that one where the wrongdoing is happening in real time, and then the foreboding boat capsizing West Brom type ones. In these ones its like the terror is partly about the dismal resigned moroseness currently happening and knowing that a despacito like kick to the face is imminent in the next one. In this case the wrongdoing is a half today and half tomorrow like feeling, and that never works, might be better to get it over with. its a dilemma

As far as Drake songs go, this is one I made it all the way through.

passionfruit is decent but i kinda wish it had a bridge or something, it just drifts along without going anywhere
the yaeji & paramore covers were both much better

reading these words is sweet respite from drake

I wanted to start a Drake thread similar to this one: post your made-up tom waits lyric but I realised that by now it would be way too easy and not very funny

This isn't too bad as far as Drake songs go but yeah, OTM.

I might have voted for Blem. Passionfruit is cool though.

this song is total knobrot, and i quite liked Hotline Bling

much better

(haven't heard and won't listen to passionfruit)

This Soulwax remix reminds me of Robbie Williams' "Rudebox."
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 13:27 (six years ago) link
I prefer the original I think
― Simon H., Tuesday, 23 January 2018 13:28 (six years ago) link
this one is good
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Tuesday, 23 January 2018 13:28 (six years ago) link
This just snuck on the bottom of my ballot. Nice chill build, nice appropriation of Rise bassline

reminds me a little bit of a disco edit of Why? by Carly Simon but not as catchy or as good

so it's gonna be controversy day huh

Re: Gainsbourg, was it a 50:50 split votes wise? I voted for the original (first of my votes to show), but the remix is good too.
― Jeff W, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 13:44 (six years ago) link
This is alright. I can't imagine it being one of anybody's favorite 25 songs of last year, tho.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 13:45 (six years ago) link
80 points for the original, 84 for the remix, apparently xp
― Simon H., Tuesday, 23 January 2018 13:45 (six years ago) link
we're going back to a 'vibe' and that 'vibe' is ILM c2009
― Badgers (dog latin), Tuesday, 23 January 2018 13:45 (six years ago) link
same, JF
Re: Gainsbourg, was it a 50:50 split votes wise?
Almost. The remix edged it out by 4 points, so it got the official placement.
this is controversial?
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Tuesday, 23 January 2018 13:46 (six years ago) link
2006 if people are still repping for Soulwax remixes.

rodent feels like a mediocre imitation of burial, everything post-rival dealer has been really disappointing
― ufo, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 13:46 (six years ago) link
Not sure about combining points for originals and remixes that can be voted for separately. What's to stop someone heaving 98 points onto a single placement? Anyway, it's decent-ish disco so w/e
― #TeamHailing (imago), Tuesday, 23 January 2018 13:47 (six years ago) link
xxxp yeah, I meant numbers of voters. But never mind.
― Jeff W, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 13:47 (six years ago) link
I mean 50-42 is just going to be solid Kendrick album tracks so let's get the controversy out of the way before then.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 13:48 (six years ago) link
just saying, if #78 is something I like, imma be peeved
this burial is dullsville sorry
― #TeamHailing (imago), Tuesday, 23 January 2018 13:48 (six years ago) link
the remix thing has never been an issue afaik
― Simon H., Tuesday, 23 January 2018 13:48 (six years ago) link
It propelled Friendly Fires into the top three one year but I'm not sure anyone actually voted for the original in that case.

I don't what musically's rule was in the pre-2010 polls, but we've been doing that way since. Not new.

don't *remember
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 13:53 (six years ago) link
the near 50/50 split is rare isn't it? usually one is fairly dominant when there's votes for multiple versions like this
― ufo, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 13:53 (six years ago) link
Yeah, typically there's an overwhelming favorite.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 13:54 (six years ago) link
that's fair. as long as nobody's been crass enough to vote for both it's ok
― #TeamHailing (imago), Tuesday, 23 January 2018 13:55 (six years ago) link
Is it too much of a spoiler to drop #78 now?
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 13:56 (six years ago) link
I don't know how "automatic" the process is by which the votes are tallied but I'd think the poll-runners would spot that?
― emil.y, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 13:57 (six years ago) link
*"that" being votes for different remixes of the same song
Nah, we don't do that until the full stats thread on Thursday. xps
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 13:58 (six years ago) link
Anyway, the original Gainsbourg snuck into the bottom of my ballot, it's basically just p nice.

― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 13:59 (six years ago) link
I prefer the original 'Deadly Valentine', which was my #2 vote.
I voted for all three so far today. 'Passionfruit' and 'Rodent' are both cases of the artist doing the essence of they do better than anyone else. I find both very moreish.
