Raingurl definitely better
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 24 January 2018 18:58 (six years ago) link
this Octo Octa track is nice and I definitely prefer the more subdued origin than the compressathon of the remix

God, even I like XO Tour Llif3 and I'm usually bored shitless by stuff like this.

"liability" was my jam from the Lorde album
― gr8080, Wednesday, 24 January 2018 19:02 (six years ago) link
i still want “palette” to place but uh it’s looking unlikely
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Wednesday, 24 January 2018 19:02 (six years ago) link
I think I had to leave "Drink I'm Sippin On" off my ballot at the last minute, but I'm glad it placed.

I've been quite enjoying a bit of trap in the last couple of years but for whatever reason had only given the Uzi Vert track a cursory listen. It's okay but a little generic compared to some of the stuff the usual suspects (yeah Migos and Thug and Future) brought out this year. Does its job and goes. Maybe needs to sink in a bit more
― Badgers (dog latin), Wednesday, 24 January 2018 19:02 (six years ago) link
much prefer raingurl as well

doglatin, i would bet XO will grow on you with time; it sure did for me
I actually heard the Lil Uzi Vert track out in the wild around my neighborhood. That's basically how I keep up with what's popular in mainstream rap...people driving by with the windows down.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 24 January 2018 19:04 (six years ago) link
love raingurl too!
― nxd, Wednesday, 24 January 2018 19:05 (six years ago) link
Apparently I haven't been keeping up with Canadian music? I'm rather liking the Alvvays song too. It's a little heartwarming that music like this is still being made.

90s guitar indie is making a rather sizeable comeback, both of the jangle variety and the crunch distortion variety.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 24 January 2018 19:07 (six years ago) link
voted for green light, it took me a little while but i really love it, definitely her best track. whole chorus is great especially the "i'm waiting for it" vocals
as a non-trap fan, xo tour llif3 is much more immediate to me than most is
― ufo, Wednesday, 24 January 2018 19:07 (six years ago) link
some predictions/hopefuls for the top 20:
Patek Water (hoping) Mask Off (likely) Self Esteem - Your Wife (hoping) Living In The City (if only cos I whacked it at the top of the summer jams thread so) Give Me A Reason (hoping) Strike A Match (but more likely Sacred Paws will be in the albums poll) I Feel It Coming (Likely? is this well liked by ILM?) Bagbak (maybe?) Common Sense (not a hit and maybe a bit blood sausage)
― Badgers (dog latin), Wednesday, 24 January 2018 19:07 (six years ago) link
Yeah I had a lot of things to say about Palette in the even of it placing but I've given up so I put it on my notepad for me to post after the list is over.
― abcfsk, Wednesday, 24 January 2018 19:08 (six years ago) link
feel like "feel it coming" missed its moment last year
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Wednesday, 24 January 2018 19:08 (six years ago) link
especially the "i'm waiting for it" vocals
I'm waiting for it! That green light! I want it!
Some people toss around Kate Bush comparisons liberally and ad nauseam, but that part is very Kate Bushy to me.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 24 January 2018 19:09 (six years ago) link
Sweet, was getting nervous about "Akrakabo" (I'm the other #1 voter) - IIRC Francophone/coupé-décalé stuff hasn't done as well here c/f Anglophone/Lusophone stuff. The album's great if a little exhausting, but the moment the guitar emerges (as everyone else has mentioned) was 2017's sublimest musical moment.
Yaeji & Mondo Grosso videos complement each other, sort've!
Enjoying "Grafts", though just realised I'd meant to vote for Sarah Davachi but forgot.
The Chromeo remix salvaged "Green Light" for me, which was unbearably omnipresent in New Zealand - the inverse of our tall poppy syndrome is eternal slavish devotion to anything/anyone that succeeds overseas. Big ups the Ron Gallipoli cover at the NZ Silver Scroll awards.

T Shirt will have to place although I vastly prefer Call Casting from the Migos album
― Badgers (dog latin), Wednesday, 24 January 2018 19:11 (six years ago) link
pretty much all of those are certain except tove and midland (no way did midland make it) xp to simon

i fear that 2 is my lot as far as my votes placing will be, despite my breathless enthusiasm for a certain Re-TROS song
― #TeamHailing (imago), Wednesday, 24 January 2018 19:13 (six years ago) link
t-shirt in 1st place
― gr8080, Wednesday, 24 January 2018 19:13 (six years ago) link
Midland as in Final Credit right? its good but there's been so much better bobbins so far. Good year for bobbins, especially nerdy girl bobbins :-)
― Badgers (dog latin), Wednesday, 24 January 2018 19:13 (six years ago) link
i voted for strike a match but i doubt it'll place at this point & j hus is probably a victim of vote splitting
likely to show but not yet mentioned:charli xcxdua lipaslowdivecardi bkeshamaybe fever ray or stormzy? idk

no as in "drinkin problem" (i assume)

yup

haha whoa what is this? totally different Midland loooool
― Badgers (dog latin), Wednesday, 24 January 2018 19:16 (six years ago) link
oh right, Cardi B, Dua Lipa and Kesha for sure. Stormzy (and Wiley?), maybe.
― Simon H., Wednesday, 24 January 2018 19:17 (six years ago) link
I was hoping one of the Tove Styrke singles would make it. Doesn't seem likely now.

fwiw I thought you meant this bit of mershy house music https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dVExpCA_H3A which it appears came out in 2016 but I heard out and about a lot this summer
― Badgers (dog latin), Wednesday, 24 January 2018 19:19 (six years ago) link
Looks bleak for any dancehall or soca noms - guess artists like Shenseea or Bunji Garlin having strong years contributed to vote-splitting etc :/
― etc, Wednesday, 24 January 2018 19:19 (six years ago) link
4 of my 25 have placed, not expecting my #1 to place now. Of the others on my list the only ones I think may place are Tove Lo and The Black Madonna.
― Dan Worsley, Wednesday, 24 January 2018 19:19 (six years ago) link
ooh yeah Black Madonna almost certainly I would think
― Simon H., Wednesday, 24 January 2018 19:20 (six years ago) link
I'm expecting something by Julien Baker to show up, but that might end up only doing well in the albums poll.
