just putting this here so I don't forget - trad ILM EOY confusion thread

Oh when I pout in the corner you'll fuckin know it.

I put this here every year because I hate shitting up roll outs with my dumb thoughts because who cares? Like yeah, I hate that minaj song, that matters to me, and anybody who wants to meander in here in case I say something funny.

75 TUNE-YARDS "Water Fountain"

FULL DISCLOSURE I VOTED FOR THIS although almost as a placeholder for thinking theres something going on with her that is still kind of revealing itself. its unapologetic and weird and difficult in a way that i didnt hear a lot of this year, the song just keeps breaking apart the longer you listen and then somehow reassembles itself in the last minute. im down.

i care, jjjusten

74 NINOS DU BRASIL "Sombra da Lua"

going into this completely blind and straight out of the gate i am dragged in deep, this is how i want you to drum at me, aggressive (not quiiite sure about the bass wub choice but whatever) nicely stacked and bashing and unrelenting and yeaaaaah this is how you fucking do it man welcome back late 80s industrial influence i missed you boo. would have voted for this in a high position if it had been on my radar. 9/10

xpost: well then have some more!

nice call on, like, the Test Dept influence there, I missed that previously but it totally makes sense

yeah i was pretty surprised and trying to grab a specific touchstone but yeah test dept, rabies era skinny puppy without the guitar lines maybe?

Skinny Puppy a good call. Especially the blow out at the end.

thats still not right, some of the junk can drum bits from meat beat maybe?

Hmm. Maybe?

scrubbing through some old Meat Beat and I think you're right.

73 KING "Mister Chameleon"

This will lead to two things 1. people claiming this person can sing. and she cant. she is terrible. ear breaking terrible. i hate her 2. naps. i hate all of it. 2/10

yeah idg that one at all

hahah, so not OTM but I laughed anyway

I think the King vote came from I Love Shopping for Furniture lurkers.

you have to reserve "can't sing" for Haim to unleash most clusterfuck iirc

but really, everyone can sing on a playlist with I LOVE MAKONNEN

tough but fair, im getting to that thing eventually

these poll results are putting me into an increasingly negative spiral, i might have to start posting here instead

like this caribou song sounds like the soundtrack to a sad wank

could imagine the guy from futile islands really psyching himself up it to before a show

this caribou song sounds like the soundtrack to a sad wank

Far too generous. A good sad wank song is a glorious thing.

Perversely, my favourite discovery of the rollout so far has been the Katy Perry song with 782 million YouTube views which i seem to have managed to miss all year.

Yesterday was a good run.

The Fall sound superb on poppers ime

so far today has been utterly mind-numbing

...and that's exactly what became of that thread. god help us.

haha i don't know what this means -- or even if it's a diss? -- but i kind of like it.

basically the same as the "mid-tier fashion store music" diss of Rather Be, no?

Tbh, I don't take either of those descriptions as disses, even though they may have been intended as such.

that's true and I don't think whoever posted that even meant it as a diss, replace with "comment on"

I've had day-long meetings for the past three days and I'm realizing now that missing the vast majority of the tracks rollout didn't bother me at all, particularly since "Two Weeks" looks to be either #1 or #2. Kind of bummed no one went for Alcest, though.

I'm bummed so many people think the Ear Murderers are good.

Well, people also think Taylor Swift and Tyler the Creator are good so it's not really a shock to me.

No Taste Zone

My brother gave me an album by The 1978ers for my birthday that I wish I'd heard last year because I would have been pushing it heavily:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3utniz5PWhM

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QYsE2VdoeQ

Basically this is what I wanted to listen to for most of the year and I didn't even know

This is the band you were telling me about! Wow, this is great.

The whole album is FAAAAAANTASTIC

These two songs smoke, so I'm adding it to the purchase list.

Took a break, not related, but did I miss some reevaluation where people decided Drake wasn't hilariously awful?

lets see how long i last this year

4 UK rap songs made it - you presumably forgot J Hus

3 Kendrick Lamar - King Kunta

i voted for this because it's great. might be the only track i had place so obv 10/10

If I was going to redo my ballot, I would put more Kendrick on it, because I honestly got more enjoyment out of songs on that album as songs than I did any other album I listened to this year except for Marriages.

xxp you are correct, my apologies to j hus
