shhhhh secret thread to talk about music without getting into a high-pitched ilm shriekfest on whatever thread is going on atm

because when you're growing up as a girl into male-dominated shit it's good to find that there are women out there doing what you want to do.

definitely. I haven't heard any of the gender-based hype or backlash re Savages. They are pleasant to listen to in that they sound a lot like other music I like a lot, but Savages just makes me want to listen to said other music rather than them.

So far the only song that I voted for is ... "Shabba"

There should be separate ILM polls for the U.S. and the UK.

Not for men, but for other women, because when you're growing up as a girl into male-dominated shit it's good to find that there are women out there doing what you want to do.

this is a really good point btw, and i would have less of a visceral reaction in general if 90% of where i hear it wasn't some jim derogatis type basically yelling "you'll never believe this, but all of the band is ACTUALLY WOMEN" every 4 sentences like its akin to finding a youtube where a chimp builds an endtable or something

Haha, yeah, I totally get that.

like its akin to finding a youtube where a chimp builds an endtable or something

link pls?

more shrieking plz

Ha can someone post the spotify link here, then I can iphone the rest while baby juggling

http://open.spotify.com/user/forksclovetofu/playlist/6aanFh0UkiNJlrvg3kZgmI

Thkng u

So huh I can only shuffle play from iphone. That's dumb

Damn u technology that does almost everything for me I want more

that is not true*; expand the cover art of the currently-playing song and uncheck the shuffle function

* this may only work for premium/unlimited Spotify

I am low rent spotify, so nope.

Well then, I'll do them in random order, because the overall list is somewhere in the middle of 4000 posts or whatever in that thread.

The Wire - Haim - way less horrible than the other haim song, and actually fairly ok to listen to. Thankfully less bananarama this time (meaning better singing). Slightly confused as to why we need a saxophoneless Quarterflash in the 2013, but yeah, I don't mind this at all.

Also as a plus, listening to Burial a second time and much more into it this time around.

Betty who - somebody loves you - what the hell is wrong with you people

Ok I should expand. This is the sort of shit that made me pissed when it would stink up Americas top 40 when I was an early teen. Lifeless anthemic dumb shit about nothing backed with paid intern synth lines, "wacky" retro multi tap reverb vocals. Plenty of stuff that I haven't liked at all, but this is the first one to make me actively mad at you guys.

I mean phosphorescent made me mad too, but mostly at him

I like the idea of your sitting there growling.

take it to the gay thread

Got the baby on my lap right now, so I have to internalize the growling, but trust me it's there

Type of way - rich homie quan - ok first I have to start by shaking the initial chuck mosely totally unfounded reaction I am having here, so I paused it for a second. Something in the way he bends his voice on certain vowels maybe? Death grips guy having a better day drunk on White Russians and high on ludes? Ok. Don't hate it, don't like it, difficult to care about it at all really. This is a looooooong 4 minutes Jesus.

Haha it just keeps not ending

I do not get this Amel Larrieux song at all

Closer - tegan and Sara - ok first let's start with the fact that people still caring about tegan and Sara strikes me the same way that a song by Lou Bega placing would, but hey that's just me. Weren't these the nasal harmony are they or aren't they deal from like 10 years ago? Canadian? Jesus man so much mall fodder muck showing up here, but this is similarly egregious to me. If this is the direction of pop you fuckers can have it. This is all because I'm old isn't it, def getting a "you fuckers don't understand I LIVED THROUGH IT THE FIRST TIME" vibe from lots of this list.

Hold on we're going home - drake - are u fucking kidding me

True confession, I didn't even listen to the drake song. I'm sorry. That's unfair. But it's drake, so I'm sure that it's dull as shit and tepidly slow and yawn worthy, unless it's one of the ones where he does the "surprise everybody look out for fast drake!" In which case it's faster and still sucks, possibly more.

Ain't it fun - Paramore - ok Jesus, sarahell otm upthread, either I am hitting a bad shuffle streak or this backwards leaning pop thing is out of control. Here is this song, but done better in every way, you are welcome.

http://youtu.be/P0FKzPfsxA4

I know I am not supposed to "care" about lyrics in the modern day but Jesus this don't go crying to your mama living in the real world shit is so fucking embarrassing for a grown person to put on paper fuck man

I don't even know where any of these placed, why do I feel that might make it worse

ha

Paramore, I permanently revoke your fake gospel choir privileges.

jjjusten how dare you speak for women in the language of "Every Little Step"

I sort of like tegan and sara post-"career advice sesh with will.i.am" or whatever happened to them but didnt vote for them.

So good to me - Chris malinchak - I appreciate when an album/single cover gives me a heads up on what to expect, so thanks for that I guess. Bland, but would be fine if it was hanging/playing in a hotel lobby in the background. The minute this stops playing I will remember exactly nothing about it.

Honestly this whole list is basically just shit.

I'm trying to stay positive but yeah maybe I should take a break for a bit honestly

jjjusten, did you hear fka twigs?

No, did they make the list?

no ilm made the list

it was a collaborative effort

ILM's Top 77 Tracks of 2013

No bookmark, on zing, no chance of loading last 50 messages for next hour and a half

I blame myself - sky ferraria - idk man just pick one of my last ten reviews and insert her name

This fka twigs is really really good as an aside

Strandbar - Todd terje- is there any reason for me not to just like listen to actual samba instead? To be fair, this is not my sort of stuff wrt electrowhatever, but it's def the best thing that's showed up in the rundown shuffle today. Improves as it goes along, actually actively enjoying it now that it's hit the 4 minute mark. Yeah, this is ok

Better than ok actually, and my baby enjoys it when I make his lion puppet dance to it, so 2 thumbs up

Keep returning to the fka twigs thing though. Huh I need more of this

yeah that fka twigs song is crazy good
