still contemplating, but maybe Low's Silver Rider will be my #1 track. I also really love Electrelane's The Valleys

if possible be sure to include groove armada in the artist credit for "song 4 mutya" (per its official billing) so prospective voters who search for it as a groove armada track don't miss it

TRACKS

cLOUDDEAD - Dead Dogs Two (Boards of Canada Mix)

50/50

Still so many classics missing. Well I'm out of noms, but at least most of my top 30, 50 albums should at least be here. And the most obscure top 5 00's missing track is in the mix. Probably Boards of Canada's best remix and maybe even my favorite thing they've done. Voting the shit out of it.

TRACKS
Dirty Projectors - Bitte Orcha

― Mad Piratical (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Friday, 13 September 2019 2:06 AM (fourteen hours ago) bookmarkflaglink

This is an album rather than a song. Did you mean "Useful Chamber"?

Oops I misspelled the Red Snapper album, it's actually Our Aim Is to Satisfy

Whoops meant to put in the song Cannibal Resource!

Also thanks Octobeard for not forgetting Double Figure, which I totally did.

50/50

I still have like 4 things I want nominated and am actively seeking those with votes to throw away (tt has refused to nominate them, lol)

Has it been decided how many votes we're going to get?

50 for each I think

Have we decided what to do with remixes? Do votes merge with the original? Because

Mojave 3 - Bluebird Of Happiness

I'd totally vote for the Schnauss remix of this.

I was thinking not to merge votes for remixes this time tbh but let's see what people say

i'm away this weekend so probs won't utilise my 50 feel free to nom more on my behalf xp

shucks, well if you're sure? feel free to vet any of these if you are deeply opposed:

Hood - Outside Closer
El-P - I'll Sleep When You're Dead
The Devin Townsend Project - Addicted
Dälek - Absence

ty ty

(albums)

Girl's Generation - Gee

Holy hell, I had no idea this was a 2009 release. I only first started hearing it two years later on a trip to Japan, but I see the Japanese release came much later than the original. Welp, it's gonna get a vote from me

had to check 'oh!' too - just a lil late :'(

Friday night (morning)'s alright for fighting https://t.co/R6OD4o8VTS

— Laura Snapes (@laurasnapes) September 13, 2019

Uh oh

Er imago I think I just accidentally deleted Big Pimpin' from your Spotify playlist but have added it back in its rightful place...

Karda Estra - Eve
Cardiacs - The Special Garage Concerts

I could nominate the run of six noughties Karda Extra albums but so as not to vote split (LOL) Eve (2001) is the most singular and straight up beautiful.

Could probably lend some noms as I can't rmemeeber a fuckin' thing about this decade.

2/30 (Oh is it 50?)

I was thinking not to merge votes for remixes this time tbh but let's see what people say

― imago, Friday, September 13, 2019 5:19 AM (two hours ago) bookmarkflaglink
