Nadia Oh - Taking Over The Dancefloor

Wasn't this on last year's list?

I don't understand why we've adopted this half have to be albums/half have to be tracks rule just cause ship can't count past 15.

You can now nominate 15 albums and 15 tracks. Really, you can still mix any combination of the two inside your allotted 30 nominations

i don't understand this actually - do we have to nominate 15 of each as per the first sentence or can we nominate eg 25 tracks and 5 albums as per the second? if the former, that's dumb

30 noms, nominate what you like afaict.

13/15

Somehow I feel like I'm not going to have enough nomination space.

Sadface at prosaic thread title. Taylor had gifted us a title to use. Whose on the thread pun committee these days?

*Who's* ugh

Blondes - Lover

This is a 2011 track fwiw, pretty sure I nommed it last year

awww.... but it was released on album this year - more people will have heard it no?

Just realised Voices From The Lake is already nommed. I will replace it with ...

ALBUMS

Eyvind Kang - The Narrow Garden

Shit Cooly G as well.

ALBUMS
The Belbury Poly - The Belbury Tales

BIG NEWS! The long standing tradition of nominations being grouped together in a chunk of some single number for both albums and tracks is over. You can now nominate 15 albums and 15 tracks. Really, you can still mix any combination of the two inside your allotted 30 nominations, because we've never had a problem generating a really comprehensive list from which to vote before, but some people like more rigid divisions. Whatever.

haha JF you drive me nuts. what i complained about before was that the OPTION of being able to use more nominations on albums vs. singles created a whole dilemma on what to allot more of my noms to. the option is still there, therefore the dilemma is still there. the only thing that's better now is that at least it's an even number!

i don't even know the difference b/w now and before.

before it was 25 nominations per person in any combination of albums/singles

awww.... but it was released on album this year - more people will have heard it no?

Oh yeah sure, I was just working through both my pedantry and my vainglorious firstiesness in one fell swoop.

i listened to that Alabama Shakes album again last night. It's the kind of thing that makes me wish I was watching it live. I like it.

ALBUMS
1. Penny Royale, This Town (Sleepy Hollow)
2. Sontag Shogun, Absent Warrior, Abandoned Battlefield (Palaver)
3. Melody's Echo Chamber, Melody's Echo Chamber (Fat Possum)

Sent from my iPhone

Love critmas, it's a thrill just eyeballing these lists and being all "what was THAT?"

SINGLES
1. Ab-Soul, "Track Two" (Top Dawg Entertainment)
2. Mike Bell, "Monroe Station" (MT6)
3. Black Dice, "Pigs" (Ribbon)

8. Sharon Van Etten, "All I Can" (Jagjaguwar)
9. Starving Weirdoes, "Land Lines" (Amish)
10. Neil Young and Crazy Horse, "Walk Like A Giant

Nice one, I was thinking of nominating Pigs. Black Dice are very much missing from EOY polls this year and yet Mr Impossible is the best thing they've done since Beaches & Canyons - beating Battles at their own game; total turbo-driven corruscated rave.

Hey Johnny Fever if at some point you want me to link to the spreadsheet in the opening post then just shout. It'll probably be useful once the thread grows.

*just realized I nominated Melody' Echo Chamber after someone else already had

Thank you, based hypnocat

I can't work out if I like Melody's Echo Chamber. On one hand it's quite pleasant and has quite a few moments of transcendence into something wonderful. On the other hand, it's yet another 2012 album with hazy indistinct chimey fuzz-guitars and a detached female vocal, that falls somewhere along a tri-axis between the Knife, the XX and Dirty Projectors without really grabbing my attention very much or making me very excited at all.

Mark Lanegan Band - Funeral Blues

oops this should read

Mark Lanegan Band - Blues Funeral

Nadia Oh - Taking Over The Dancefloor

Wasn't this on last year's list?

Yes, this placed last year. You get one nomination back, Michael B Higgins.

Chairlift - I Belong In Your Arms
Chairlift - I Belong In Your Arms (John Talabot & Pional Remix)

Remember remixes get counted together with the original (a policy that doesn't always make sense, but hey), so dog latin if you're worried about maxing out your nominations maybe scratch one of these?

"Somebody That I Used To Know" placed last year, should it be off the table this year?

Yes

I think of "Somebody That I Used To Know" as being from this year really, as this was the year it charted. I'll claim back that nom then w/r/t Chairlift

yeah i'm sure most of ilx hadn't heard the Gotye song until after last year's poll, but i'm fine w/ it being restricted from placing 2 years in a row. just frees up more room on my noms/ballot.

We had the same discussion last time with "Ass on the Floor" iirc. Pretty much the only rule we have about nominations is that if something places one year it can't be nominated in a subsequent year.
