!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!~~~FINALLY - 2009 ILX Albums 'n' Trax Poll voting thread ahoy~~~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (VOTING CLOSED: lol Whiney)

that was on someone's list when they originally nominated about 50 things, when he redid his list he didn't include it.

No way... I would have included it in my noms, had I known. Pretty "significant" record that is going to be shut out of the ILX poll, I guess.

Fever Ray: "Keep The Streets Empty For Me" was nominated, although I think it was written as "Leave The Streets...", which might have thrown you off, musically.

that was another of the over-noms that was cut. yes, i agree, it does suck. i don't have a huge problem adding the ones that were cut except that it's not fair to people who actually read the rules and limited themselves to 15 nominations.

and I think dub and remix can be two distinct things, I mean it's basically nominating the instrumental but since it doesn't add much complication and it doesn't split the vote I don't have a problem with allowing both to be nominated.

afaict there is no seperate instrumental, those are one and the same

someone correct me if I'm wrong on that count

http://www.discogs.com/Lindstrøm-and-Christabelle-Baby-Cant-Stop-EP/release/1995601

yeah, I guess if it doesn't exist then it should be taken off...

My Baby Can't Stop EP has an Aeroplane Vocal Mix and an Aeroplane Dub Mix along with the Idjut Boys Remix and the Radio Edit and the Album Version so I would hazard that they are distinct things.

"my girls" not being on the trax list is hilarious

xp guys doesnt matter.....vote for one they all get counted as the same

xp: okay, I think that settles it. they should both be on the list

hmm... the "my girls" thing is kinda annoying for those of us who just did a quick crtl-f of the nominations thread to see what had already been nominated.

loooooooooool

I added Animal Collective - My Girls and Fever Ray - Keep The Streets Empty For Me, I don't want something popular to be left off on a technicality, in the future I'll make sure that the entire post is removed so people don't see it.

and Lindstrøm & Christabelle - Real Life Is No Cool is 2010, true or false? All signs I am seeing point to 2010 release, not 2009...

Correct. It was apparently available to a select few through Rough Trade in the last week or two of 2009, but it's official release wasn't until 2010.

ya that really shouldn't be on there, i don't think.

haaa i think you did the right thing musically re "my girls" but it would have been v funny if you held out

I was enjoying that even more the lack of Blueprint 3.

Hey, so noting that I've missed a lot of stuff—Last year, my top three were The OhSees, Black Mountain and Indian Jewelry. Since I love the new OhSees album, what else might I have missed that I'd really love off this list?

That Toro Y Moi album is 2010, btw. It leaked in December or something, but it's not official until Feb or so of this year.

Cass McCombs - Dropping the Writ (this is from 2007).

thx, musically!

ILX, i expect Electrik Red and The-Dream in the top 5, don't let me down

lol I forgot my legit fav song of the year, Pleasure P - Boyfriend #2 (Flo Rida Remix). I'll give it a spiritual first place vote.

Who are the Acidic Jews? Can someone shed some light?

Bit of a shock to discover that nobody nominated Bonkers, Remedy or Bulletproof, but I'll live!

man, putting together my albums ballot is so easy and narrowing down my tracks ballot is so hard

I haven't started on tracks yet, but after thinking this wasn't a great year for my music listening, my longlist for albums is surprisingly long. Got it down to about 50 now, although some of these are still 'must check this out before submitting ballot' albums.

I asked this on the last thread, but I don't think it was answered. Are Desire - Desire and Desire - II the same album?

You know, I was pretty sure The Blueprint 3 had been nominated too.

also, Fuck Buttons trax folk, what ya'll thinkin'? Lisbon Maru is probs my fav, but Surf Solar being the single and all...

Agreed, I'd figure "Surf Solar" may get a much lower placing due to vote splitting (it has my vote, though -- can't do much more than that).

god, just going through the trax list...music was so damn good in 2009!

according to the other thread, this is where we should be posting youtubes for trax we want to rep for. ok then! first, the fierce female MCs of uk funky house:

stush - we nuh run (labelled as "sirens" on youtube, as it's a vocal of hard house banton's instrumental track of that name)

And that Richgirl track is like an earthquake of sass!

Amadou & Miriam's Welcome to Mali was 2008 in the UK, by the way. Was it 2009 for the US?

Just trying to thin out my shortlist.

Released November 17, 2008 (Europe)
March 24, 2009 (US)

Use this thread for YouTubes and pimping, definitely

No Sa - Nuclear Evolution: The Age Of Love - on the albums list. That`s a shocker. It`s my number 2 but it could be my number 1 now it`s been omitted...

and Lindstrøm & Christabelle - Real Life Is No Cool is 2010, true or false? All signs I am seeing point to 2010 release, not 2009...

Yeah it's a 2010 release really.

musically, thanks for all the work you've put in. sincerely.

Omission from the trax list: Major Lazer - Pon De Floor

not seeing that on the nominations page...

YouTube pimping is all well and good but I'm not voting for anything I didn't already listen to and love in 2009. There's enough of that without adding other things to the field.

i pimped this on the other pimping thread but i'll pimp it here too just cuz i think it's a sort of lovely song (about dying/watching somebody die).

scott miller & the commonwealth (w/patty griffin) "i'm right here my love"

Ya'll might think I'm joking, but I'm not

fuck that song and all musical comedy imho

and Lindstrøm & Christabelle - Real Life Is No Cool is 2010, true or false? All signs I am seeing point to 2010 release, not 2009...

Yeah it's a 2010 release really

Objection. I bought it in a shop (not Rough Trade!) in November and I want to vote for it in this poll.

we seem to know for sure that there's both a 2009 and a 2010 release date, someone just has to make a judgment call. fwiw looks like 3 different versions were released in 2009... http://www.discogs.com/Lindstr%C3%B8m-Christabelle-Real-Life-Is-No-Cool/master/205425
