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

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.

srsly this is some boring, boring music

at least TDFW was fun(ish)

i don't even like turn down for what much either, but i bet it's hilarious on poppers (is poppers still a thing?)

wait, everything is hilarious on poppers

The Fall sound superb on poppers ime

so far today has been utterly mind-numbing

yass

just reached a new lo

i like german whip though, sorry

Vermillion is a "trying on jeans somewhere" kind of song.

well, vermillion is a trying kind of song tbh

I love these jeans but they weren't meant for me to wear

...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=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

bookmarked

huh. a good start

77. Jazmine Sullivan - Mascara

This is pretty good! I don't think that's ever been my reaction any other year to the first track so hopefully not a jinx, only criticism is some clunk lyrics wise and the potential for getting a little audio wallpapery, doesnt so much end as just drift off somewhere, still 7/10

76. Radiohead - Spectre

This sounds exactly like "Radiohead writes a song for a James Bond film" which is somehow super super gross to me, not in a "oh how could they" way but in the terrible combination of the worst of both of those two things. Remember when a James Bond theme wasn't an automatic bullet full of dull shot into whoever was making it? not a radiohead hater but this is phoned in no effort garbage. 3/10

76 RADIOHEAD "Spectre" (184 points, 5 votes, 1 first-place vote)
Pitchfork - DNP / P&J - 465 / Youtube

Who voted for first place - WE NEED NAMES!

― xyzzzz__

75 THUNDERCAT FT. FLYING LOTUS AND KAMASI WASHINGTON "Them Changes"

I think I can't be impartial about this because i bear the deep scars of guitar store lifetime but the noodly watery envelope filter bass shit in this is so fucking grating and unlistenable that i cant give it a fair shake. shades of shrapnel records if they had put out anything not made by the whitest people available in new jersey. i get grabbed for moments, theres hooks but then saxophone or "blurgle bluggle wuuba wubba squee squa" bubbles up again and i just cant fucking take that shit. still better than the radiohead track. 4/10

74 FLOATING POINTS "Silhouettes (I, II, III)"

kind of reminds me of up bustle and out except for that part where something interesting happens eventually 5/10

Following this on social media this year it's good

55 ROMAN FLÜGEL "Black Towers" (224 points, 6 votes, 1 first-place vote)

I Love Employee Orientation Video Music

i don't know that song but me too

flugel is the man

i just cannot take the vocals on 99% of this stuff... at all

feeling old and musty rn

i like jasmine sullivan's vocals pretty well, though!

i started listening to the nominations playlist a few weeks back, and seriously considered voting, but then after about a dozen or so tracks of tepid garbage, I decided I would rather listen to Bach and Roedelius and it isn't like my voting would make any difference in anyone's life, so I just gave up.

ditto

hopefully gaz will place high

my one regret in not voting.

Also, I did not formally release my Trap Queen IDM parody in time to be nominated.

the 2 are included in the 17

fuck. i should never post before breakfast. thank you.

I voted it #1 and have never seen that movie.

Yeah, that was just a joke about the opera samples in the opening track.
