Is it too much of a spoiler to drop #78 now?

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?

*"that" being votes for different remixes of the same song
Nah, we don't do that until the full stats thread on Thursday. xps

Anyway, the original Gainsbourg snuck into the bottom of my ballot, it's basically just p nice.

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.

I hope the #1 voter reveals themselves in the thread, but this track was my #2 and that means we're largely responsible for it placing... thank u mystery person.

My top eight or so is basically just a load of different remixed of Galway Girl so we'll find out how eagle-eyed when we get to the top 10.

woah
― Simon H., Tuesday, 23 January 2018 14:02 (six years ago) link
This song did me in this year. I probably listened to it a couple hundred times.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 14:03 (six years ago) link
Isbell generally writes a stunner or two per album and this is one of 'em
― Simon H., Tuesday, 23 January 2018 14:04 (six years ago) link
Never heard of this but the band looks like Mumford & Dads.
― emil.y, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 14:07 (six years ago) link
I've never knowingly heard anything by Jason Isbell.
― ♫ very clever with maracas.jpg ♫ (Le Bateau Ivre), Tuesday, 23 January 2018 14:07 (six years ago) link
xp that's mostly why. Will give it a whirl.
wasn't sure about this at first but the droning sounds that gradually take over are extremely stilling
lyrics are yer typical sad existentialist musing but nicely put. it does hit home, but that's more to do with the music than the lyrics i think. the emotional climax of the song is the wordless bridge
― #TeamHailing (imago), Tuesday, 23 January 2018 14:10 (six years ago) link
I just appreciate the central conceit of the lyrics. If we were immortals, relationships wouldn't mean anything. But when set up on top of that splendid guitar pattern, it's one of my favorite things ever.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 14:12 (six years ago) link
that is the central conceit of greek mythology tbf ;)
but yeah, the music is very fitting for the sentiment
― #TeamHailing (imago), Tuesday, 23 January 2018 14:15 (six years ago) link
The Isbell was my #2 as well.
― EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 14:19 (six years ago) link
It's by far Isbell's best solo album, but would've picked "Cumberland Gap" had it been a single, somewhere in the low 90s.

Voted for Gainsbourg remix but preferred the Subtemple / Beachfires release from Burial.
― nashwan, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 14:23 (six years ago) link
I hadn't heard this before. it's nice!
― Simon H., Tuesday, 23 January 2018 14:23 (six years ago) link
What circles was this popular in? I never heard it, or of her, until I was making the above image on Saturday afternoon. But now I'm addicted.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 14:23 (six years ago) link
is this minimalist day?
I like this! It has a really lovely chord sequence and arrangement, and I don't mind the vocals although I could see how they might be an issue for some
― #TeamHailing (imago), Tuesday, 23 January 2018 14:24 (six years ago) link
My first to place! Such a good song.
― Frederik B, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 14:25 (six years ago) link
cool voice
― nxd, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 14:26 (six years ago) link
she's had a bunch of buzz from p4k
it's a good song, i like the synths in the chorus especially
― ufo, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 14:26 (six years ago) link
Johnny, she had two songs on p4k tracklist, I think, and was also nominated for BBC sound of 2018 iirc? She's going places.
― Frederik B, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 14:27 (six years ago) link
this has me hoping maggie rogers places in some capacity
― Simon H., Tuesday, 23 January 2018 14:28 (six years ago) link
Cool. The only thing I go to p4k for anymore is the Over/Under videos.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 14:28 (six years ago) link
I love her voice, made the usual mistake of reading comments on youtube ,though, and apparently there are people out there who feel differently
― mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Tuesday, 23 January 2018 14:28 (six years ago) link
and yes Simon, hopefully there will be some imago-approved maximalism soon, just for balance, like

soundcloud says the release date for this was 15 December 2017, that's cutting it pretty fine for the 77
― faust apes (NickB), Tuesday, 23 January 2018 14:47 (six years ago) link
nice song btw
Nice!
― Frederik B, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 14:49 (six years ago) link
Yay! The album didn't make my ballot but this one was pretty high up on my tracks list.

this song is amazing

VERY, considering noms opened on the 14th.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 14:54 (six years ago) link
That's part of the reason for the bonus 10 noms allotted in the final 24 hour stretch, though.
