ILM's Top 77 Tracks of 2012

I feel like this is the 2010 poll all over again with people being introduced to Javiera Mena. ^_^

I have to be the only person ever to ever mix up Javiera Mena and Maria Minerva, right? u_u

This Pulp song isn't terrible at all! I think that's because it was written a long time ago or something and just recently unquarantined.

my boyfriend put on 6music yesterday afternoon as we were chilling at his place and jarvis fucking cocker was so intolerable on it that i had to insist we turn the radio off. and he wasn't even singing!

Came out on Christmas Day so I missed it until recently. Produced by James Murphy while they were on the Coachella cruise. It's a good fit.

This is decent.

Wouldn't expect Pulp + DFA to be a good fit at all but that actually works really well. This is great.

pulp? they are still around? another band whose appeal i have never understood. this song does not make an exception though it is probably one of their best and the best of this thread yet.

switched off at the "party in hackney" line. cocker sounds like dog latin

Pulp song is jaunty and insufferable in equal doses, ie exactly what I expected, admittedly gets better in the last two minutes

takeaway = shes shakin her booty

I didn't know Pulp had released a single this year either. It's good, actually! I like the clattering pace.

"Nu" Chromatics isn't drastically different from anything they've made in the last 7 years or so. I guess you're either into what they do or you're not.

I agree and I'm the former. I think Kill For Love the album is full of great simmple but catchy songs. Psychocandy produced by New Order is a pretty good description.
It is weighed down by the long instrumentals though.

*checks calendar*

Is it really "Pulp" or is it just Jarvis and James Murphy in the studio with his DFA crew?

lol rev

2010 poll was my introduction to Javiera Mena. loved it then, love it now.

oh god this pulp song is terrible.

jarvis cocker is just the worst

I like Pulp and Jarvis in general, but not this song.

This Pulp song is actually alright.

I checked out the 2010 Mena song and it isn't nearly as good as the 2012 Mena song.

I like the dramatic strings in the background of the Pulp.

cocker sounds even more smug in his old age than when he was archly smugging all over the 90s

at least murphy had a genuine peak once though on the basis of this it's firmly in the past

jarvis cocker is just the worst

the actual worst, and symptomatic of so much wrong with british culture in 2012/13

fuck james murphy too tbh

blur is still to come, lex!

lol I think I actually like this track more after reading lex's and tpp's reactions.

i really hope you're joking. if not i need to start practising my deep breathing exercises now

Thank god there was no Oasis single this year.

this dawn richard song is the best thing i've heard from her (certainly better than anything i heard on the new album)

Erm, that Dawn Richard song is on the new album.

I ha no idea Alunageorge was in My Toys Like Me. Always enjoyed them

this g-dragon is fucking insane + amazing, jeeeeesus

yes!!! to G-dragon, that is

you're right! i must've missed it xxxp

I love "Crayon". It makes me happy.

this dude (g-dragon) is like my gf's hall pass

i nearly voted for "crayon" and i'm really glad it made it. song is batshit.

also i really love that the pulp song is a disco song but i don't know if 2012 jarvis is an effective disco diva

wth, I didn't know there was a new Pulp song last year either, and I travelled 12 hours to see them live! This is fab. many xps

ugh this pulp song has killed my javiera mena good mood, may as well be the guy from the divine comedy. i quite like the g dragon

thank god i don't have to listen to this. what was it, hip-hop?

thank god i don't have to listen to this.

Your loss. It's amazing.

Didn't vote for this but YESSSS!

Crayon - one of those, never heard of it, wtf is this moments, and then I look at YouTube counter: 18,773,967.

at this point my inability to get k-pop is all me rather than it, but while i can appreciate the batshitness i can't really get past how everything seems like a novelty record

the 2ne1 song from last year is a v honourable exception

I prefer the other G-Dragon track where he's biting Weezy and has a BABY TIGER ON A LEASH. And a baby bear just wandering round looking cute.
