It’s so good!

I believe this was my ballot, bold DNP:

Ethel Cain - American Teenager
Duke Deuce ft. Glorilla - JUST SAY THAT
Skeng - London
Vitesse X - Us Ephemeral (George Clanton Remix)
Sudan Archives - Home Maker
Carly Rae Jepsen - Western Wind
Samia - Mad At Me

Sevyn Streeter - 23
Raye ft. 070 Shake - Escapism.
Amaarae – SAD GIRLZ LUV MONEY (Vigro Deep Amapiano Mix)
Elsy Wameyo - River Nile
Omah Lay – Never Forget
Billie Eilish - The 30th

Weighted. I won't bold everything but my two placements as it's too much bold.

Maria W Horn & Sara Parkman - Kyrie
Katarina Gryvul - Vidsutni
The Center for Understanding New Trigonometries - Common Shapes and Uncommon Shapes
Water Gun Water Gun Sky Attack - Hecatomb
Go_A - Kalyna
Bethan Lloyd - Cutting Circuits
Fluid Tower - The Back
Lady Aicha & Pisko Crane's Original Fulu Miziki of Kinshasa - Kraut
Konstrakta - In corpore sano
Massive Luxury Overdose - Drive
ifax! - Rerere
Kate NV - oni (they)
Akkajee - Lastenkerääjä
The Bedroom Witch - In This City
Perfume - Flow
special interest - midnight legend
Soft-Bodied Humans x Swordman Kitala - Ookondoru
Wormboys - Weird
Štras - Neonski bogovi
Wednesday Campanella - Edison
Me Lost Me - Acrobat on the Roof
Samantha Savage Smith - Fake Nice
Principles of Geometry - First, I Heard Colors (Pye Corner Audio Remix)
Billlie - GingaMingaYo (the strange world)
Petrol Girls - Baby, I Had an Abortion

If I did it again I think my tracks list would be quite different. As I said on the main thread, 'Hecatomb' should probably be my #1, I fell for it all over again during voting and now I'm obsessed. Also I forgot about Angel Electronics, that should definitely be in there.

I was 8th most lonely and 5th least hivemindy. My nearest neighbour was Silverfish.

Favourite discoveries from the poll:
Sudan Archives - Selfish Soul
Paramore - This Is Why
Ibibio Sound Machine - Protection From Evil

Now do it again but with hyperlinks lol

Ha, I do think you'd enjoy my #1, so you can have that: https://xkatedral.bandcamp.com/track/kyrie

I was expecting to be lonely on both #1 and #2 but somebody else voted for 'Kyrie', apparently. Who was it? Reveal yourself!

Thanks! On it now!

(my own top finds prob Ibibio, Duke Deuce, Lady Aicha etc, Objekt, Men I Trust, DJ Python)

Well that was some raw stuff, crikey. Excellent

always somewhat impressed/scared by oscar bravo's absolutist commitment to Korea - and find it quite funny/sad that finally ILM properly went for a kpop song but it wasn't one of the 25

lol nothing to be impressed by. the sad truth is that i only listen to music anymore for about 2 hours a month if that (which my younger self would have not believed possible) and so i just end up checking that month's kpop stuff and don't bother with anything else.

it's a shame but i just generally feel happier in silent surroundings the last few years. am listening to the 77 playlist today though and skeng 'london' is v enjoyable. big thief is not.

big thief is not.

thanks pollrunners
would have voted eversines 'achterna' & death's dynamic shroud 'neon memories' top 2 but neither were nominated

through the below tracks some unweighted points
chat pile - why?
death’s dynamic shroud - Messe de E-102
DJ Python - Angel
Eversines - Uitzicht
Jim Legxacy - dj
KFC Murder Chicks - Half Life
NewJeans - Ditto
The Center for Understanding New Trigonometries - Common Shapes and Uncommon Shapes

Yeule - Bites on My Neck

I was the only other voter for that Eversines track, so gorgeous

The older - and busier - I get, this place is increasingly the only place I really get recommendations. Hence the most hivemind-y I've ever been, by some distance (not that that's a bad thing, but my cred is important to me). Jim Legxacy wuz robbed and still can't believe I didn't nominate Looking For Somebody (To Love).

Ruger - Girlfriend
