think I have to accept that I will never get 100 gecs at this stage.Also fairly sure I'm the only one around here who thinks AG Cook >> SOPHIE >>>>>>>>>>>> gecs

I mean, going by my voting, I'm with you on that, except add Harle several >>>s to. The left of all of them

i've grown to like a lot of hyperpop but i still do not buy what 100 gecs sells

there's not much redeeming about "money machine" imo. annoying music designed to appeal to annoying people.

Last one for the day.
I hope you have mildly enjoyed today’s countdown. Tune in tomorrow for some more.

From today’s run I voted for FKA Twigs, Charlotte Adigery, Pachanga Boys and Destroyer.
I don’t get 100gecs but I don’t mind that sort of memecore or whatever they call that sort of sound getting a mention on a 2010s countdown
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Wednesday, 17 August 2022 17:54 (one year ago) link
From today, Frank Ocean and SVIIB we're in the ranked portion of my ballot. Happy I could help push them higher up. Voted for Charlotte Adigéry in the unranked portion.
― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Wednesday, 17 August 2022 17:58 (one year ago) link
Maybe FKA Twigs too. Seems like I'd have voted for her as well.
― Ⓓⓡ. (Johnny Fever), Wednesday, 17 August 2022 17:59 (one year ago) link
Like everything she does, "High Lights" is ridiculously cool.
"Work" was top 10 on my ballot and still sounds so fresh to my ears.
― Indexed, Wednesday, 17 August 2022 18:01 (one year ago) link
Didn’t know that SVIIB song was that well liked on ILM. Would have considered voting for it. Was obsessed with it back then and that whole brand of synth-y shoegaze / dreampop revival at the beginning of the decade
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Wednesday, 17 August 2022 18:04 (one year ago) link
From the 2010 rollout:
"I L U" is probably the most emotional a song made me get all last year. The "I loved you" line is so much better than "I love you" would be.

My Daft Punk dilemma regarding "Get Lucky." I was not going to vote for it but since I ran the DP poll this year I felt a duty to place it.
Looking over the results, so far, I see I'm part of the problem.
― Bee OK, Wednesday, 17 August 2022 19:31 (one year ago) link
i'd never heard "Time" (Pachanga Boys) before the poll and holy shit what a track.

Just don't look up the other songs on that single.

so high i played "thunder scat" instead of "time" and ruined the sunrise vibe

ah man I should've voted for that SVIIB track, kind of forgot about it. Open Your Eyes almost made the cut but never got round to a relisten of ILU
― ignore the blue line (or something), Wednesday, 17 August 2022 21:24 (one year ago) link
Ha, was going to say exactly this!
money machine was my #4 and thrilled to be annoying enough to enjoy it. For me it's such an emblematic bookend between the decades; really feels equally the last song of the 10s and the first of the 20s.
― tangenttangent, Wednesday, 17 August 2022 21:47 (one year ago) link
Don't get me wrong, I totally get why people hate it or don't get it, but pop punk made even more maximalist and blown-out and experimental is heaven to me.
― tangenttangent, Wednesday, 17 August 2022 21:48 (one year ago) link

Feel like nobody's articulated the brilliance of the Adigery song - perhaps it speaks for itself, but there's something so unusual, playful, committed and uncalculating about it all, it is a totally fresh brew which conveys defiance within a rigged world through both the strange catchiness of the music and the haunting poetry of the lyrics. Pop In Opposition, folks.
― imago, Wednesday, 17 August 2022 22:00 (one year ago) link
In that sense it also feels like the start of the 2020s
― imago, Wednesday, 17 August 2022 22:03 (one year ago) link
Oh yeah, voted for Adigéry too. Today has been fantastic

Where is the recap?
― Bee OK, Wednesday, 17 August 2022 23:14 (one year ago) link
voted for 4 from today - Frank Ocean’s Thinkin Bout You, which was high on my list, and also Cool For the Summer, Trap Queen and Money Machine
I completely forgot about Time, but it is a good track
didn’t vote for Get Lucky in the Daft Punk poll, but it doesn’t seem out of place here
― Dan S, Wednesday, 17 August 2022 23:21 (one year ago) link
Today felt more distinctively ILM - less risk of mistaking it for idk Paste Magazine's 2010s rundown. Even the obvious hits are ones the board talked about a lot (video gaaaaymes).
