soundcloud says the release date for this was 15 December 2017, that's cutting it pretty fine for the 77

nice song btw
Nice!
― Frederik B, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 14:49 (six years ago) link
Yay! The album didn't make my ballot but this one was pretty high up on my tracks list.

this song is amazing

VERY, considering noms opened on the 14th.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 14:54 (six years ago) link
That's part of the reason for the bonus 10 noms allotted in the final 24 hour stretch, though.

This is destined to be the most interesting stretch of the whole poll folks, so savor it

this is awesome
― Simon H., Tuesday, 23 January 2018 15:03 (six years ago) link
Oh cool - in a reversal to the last one, I didn't vote for any L'Rain tracks but the album made it very high on my list!
― emil.y, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 15:05 (six years ago) link
is this the first 77 entry to contain a hidden track?
― Simon H., Tuesday, 23 January 2018 15:07 (six years ago) link
that Nilüfer Yanya song is all right but the pretentious blank expression on her face throughout the video is enraging to me

not sure it's hidden - it's in the title! the silence is just a pause to reflect on how amazing the music is. psychedelic soul-prog yall
― #TeamHailing (imago), Tuesday, 23 January 2018 15:09 (six years ago) link
I dunno, crut. That just seems like...her face? xp
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 15:10 (six years ago) link
this is the most imago song ever
― Badgers (dog latin), Tuesday, 23 January 2018 15:11 (six years ago) link
apologies in advance but it reminds me of the ambient fanfare at the end of Kid A
― Simon H., Tuesday, 23 January 2018 15:11 (six years ago) link
yeh voted album too, whole thing as a piece truly rules
― nxd, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 15:12 (six years ago) link
also, I only discovered this after the nominations closed and would have possibly voted for one of the other tracks instead, but this was the only one nominated and as my introduction to l'rain it merited instant high inclusion. as for the album...well that's another story. next week...
― #TeamHailing (imago), Tuesday, 23 January 2018 15:12 (six years ago) link
i never got round to listening to this but enjoying it in the here and now

yeah, 'stay go'

is that her going all yma sumac at about 2:00 or is that a synth?
― faust apes (NickB), Tuesday, 23 January 2018 15:15 (six years ago) link
i liked the l'rain album but not quite enough to vote for anything from it
― ufo, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 15:15 (six years ago) link
I find this L'Rain pretty annoying but yesterday was rather placid so I'm okay with it
― rob, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 15:17 (six years ago) link
this ten year old track used the Moodymann sample way better than Drake did:

All aboard the L'Rain. Very good to see it place. Album is nuts.

I loved that xx album

lovely song
― Simon H., Tuesday, 23 January 2018 15:22 (six years ago) link
Say Something Loving and Replica were the highlights from that album to me but this was fine too, maybe one of them is still to place?
weirdly when I saw them recently they did this as a stripped down ballad, nowhere near as good
― ufo, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 15:23 (six years ago) link
In my head last January I kept imagining a Buckingham-Nicks cover.
― morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 23 January 2018 15:23 (six years ago) link
Glad to see L'Rain. I actually nominated this on one of the last days for nominations so didn't really expect it to place. Only discovered this very recently but have listened to it a bunch the last couple of weeks.

reminds me of use somebody by kings of leon :/

see how all the artists have been different? hasn't that been exciting? (starting my rules change campaign early )

lol but true xp
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 15:25 (six years ago) link
Love the album, voted for it. If I'd voted for a song it would probably have been Dangerous. On Hold placed last year, right?
― Frederik B, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 15:27 (six years ago) link
I believe so.
― Simon H., Tuesday, 23 January 2018 15:27 (six years ago) link
Not sure about combining points for originals and remixes that can be voted for separately. What's to stop someone heaving 98 points onto a single placement? Anyway, it's decent-ish disco so w/e― #TeamHailing (imago), Tuesday, 23 January 2018 13:47 (one hour ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

You can't vote for more than one version of a song, just like you can't vote for the same song twice.
― ? (seandalai), Tuesday, 23 January 2018 15:28 (six years ago) link
I may like or dislike an artist, I may like every other measure of a particular song, but the second I hear a fucking "oh whoa oh" part I check out.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 15:28 (six years ago) link
(Not throughout pop history...just in recent years. Y'all know that "oh whoa oh" I'm talkin' 'bout.)

After their totally forgettable second album and Jamie's dreary solo one, I really didn't think I needed another XX album in my life, but I went back to I See You a lot last year. Might be my favourite album of theirs now.

much has been writ of the millennial whoop
― #TeamHailing (imago), Tuesday, 23 January 2018 15:31 (six years ago) link
I suspect I'd like the XX a lot more if it wasn't for the dude singing literally everything in exactly the same way regardless of what it is. I get about a verse into any of their songs, whichever era it's from, and it's just such a chore.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 15:33 (six years ago) link
coexist was much better than i remembered when i revisited it recently, though it has few duds and i see you is definitely better
i wish the songs with romy from in colour had just made their way onto i see you instead
― ufo, Tuesday, 23 January 2018 15:34 (six years ago) link
the oh whoa ohh in I Dare You doesn't count as a millenial whoop imo
