Humble wasn't nominated until really late and I'm really not sure it'll make it

I think I voted for it! (for some reason I'm completely blanking on my ballot lol) xp
― Simon H., Wednesday, 24 January 2018 16:42 (six years ago) link
Man how did I miss that Mondo Grosso track, so good, want a 12 minute version. Bringing back Star Suite vibes which I rinsed the fuck out of back in the day
Xp Grafts yes!

awww KLC was my #1

I among those who forgot about the Mondo Grosso track but would've totally voted for it. :(
Also, my god, what an incredible video!

"grafts" is fucking awesome, good job everyone

Kara-Lis Coverdale is great - in addition to making ambient music and hanging out with Tim Hecker she's a church organist who occasionally plays rap instrumentals as people are filing in or out of the church.
Pretty sure I saw Grafts in at least a couple of album polls though.
― Matt DC, Wednesday, 24 January 2018 16:45 (six years ago) link
No Paramore yet. Wonder if they've suffered from vote splitting
― groovypanda, Wednesday, 24 January 2018 16:45 (six years ago) link
Good job everyone for Grafts at the high position and for stirring things up.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Wednesday, 24 January 2018 16:46 (six years ago) link
they'll only get one track in but i expect it to place xp
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Wednesday, 24 January 2018 16:46 (six years ago) link
I would not have thought to vote for this but it's pretty cool!
re: Paramore, I voted for the album, but I can't imagine "Hard Times" not making it, at least
― Simon H., Wednesday, 24 January 2018 16:47 (six years ago) link
the only other acts with potential for multiple tracks left are SZA and maybe Lorde?
― ufo, Wednesday, 24 January 2018 16:48 (six years ago) link
that sounds about right
― Simon H., Wednesday, 24 January 2018 16:49 (six years ago) link
I feel like this is so far the most bonkers ILX end of the year list so far. Like a playlist of these songs in this particular order would absolutely perplex anyone who isn't aware of the context.
― daavid, Wednesday, 24 January 2018 16:50 (six years ago) link
I suspect the final stretch will be much less wild but I've been loving it so far
― Simon H., Wednesday, 24 January 2018 16:50 (six years ago) link
grafts is cool, not sure why i didn't vote for it. guess i wasn't expecting it to be on the tracks side so i missed it
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 24 January 2018 16:50 (six years ago) link

this is cool
The KLC track is making me really anxious. Especially those random tape hiss bits. Gotta stop.
― daavid, Wednesday, 24 January 2018 16:53 (six years ago) link
i will say this is the year when i either hit peak ilx hivemind or y'all came around to my way of thinking.

grafts obviously improves a lot on half-decent speakers or headphones, there's quite a lot of detail for such a minimal sounding piece
― faust apes (NickB), Wednesday, 24 January 2018 16:55 (six years ago) link
grafts is lovely so far, would be good to fall asleep to
the final stretch might be less wild but i still don't have any real idea what sort of order things will be in this year

will be interesting to see how many of these end up in here "It Is Happening Again": Tim writes about songs from 2017

I'm liking this one.

if i had to guess the only two that have a chance at placing are prob the slowdive remix (which would technically mean avalon emerson placed three times, so maybe that's too much/too unrealistic) and the carmen villain track
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Wednesday, 24 January 2018 17:06 (six years ago) link
this is my favourite bobbins track so far
― ufo, Wednesday, 24 January 2018 17:06 (six years ago) link
Slowdive could benefit from the combined original + remix rule
― rob, Wednesday, 24 January 2018 17:07 (six years ago) link
what i was thinking
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Wednesday, 24 January 2018 17:07 (six years ago) link
love the remix of this, but I *really* love (and voted for) the original
― Dan S, Wednesday, 24 January 2018 17:07 (six years ago) link
slowdive will definitely place pretty highly imo
― faust apes (NickB), Wednesday, 24 January 2018 17:08 (six years ago) link
this is p good yeah
― #TeamHailing (imago), Wednesday, 24 January 2018 17:08 (six years ago) link
Idly wondering how different this list would have been if everyone had voted in November, ie before most of the end-of-year lists were published. There's a lot of here that generated virtually no discussion here but appeared prominently in several lists and accompanying playlists.
― Matt DC, Wednesday, 24 January 2018 17:09 (six years ago) link
The J Hus song is cool. Thanks for the introduction!
― EZ Snappin, Wednesday, 24 January 2018 17:09 (six years ago) link
Like the album but my favorite track is "Fleeting Moments of Freedom (Wooo)."
― Salt Lake City Motorcycle Accident Nerve Damage Lawyer (_Rudipherous_), Wednesday, 24 January 2018 17:10 (six years ago) link
Get in there! Original is great but the remix is a great big driving monster and probably the best thing avalon emerson has done so far ( which sayin' somethin')

what I'm finding genuinely perplexing is the massive kpop showing when that rolling thread isn't really all that active/populated (with the possibly key difference that the last month is mostly "who should we vote for?" talk which I guess I should try for my own pet rolling threads). forapper as influential as Tim really
Grafts is pretty nice!
― rob, Wednesday, 24 January 2018 17:10 (six years ago) link
there are kpop lurkers
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 24 January 2018 17:12 (six years ago) link
it was a very very strong year for kpop & i think enough non-thread regulars heard things via TSJ and nominations as well
― ufo, Wednesday, 24 January 2018 17:13 (six years ago) link
Wow wow wow @ "Grafts". I can't believe I never listened to Kara-Lis Coverdale before.
