i think this song is Just O.K.

flamenco drop (BradNelson), Thursday, 25 January 2018 14:28 (six years ago) link

The lesser of the Toves.

unfashionable conservative opinion: ugh

Dope track

Men tend to overrate songs in which women get vulgar but "Disco Tits" is a good 'un.

Helluva run this. Just clocked that I've had a veggie burger at the Bethnal Green takeaway Stormzy's on the counter of in the vid.

Disco Tits is the 1st of these today I voted for but I'm down w/ everything tbh

lilcraigyboi (Craigo Boingo), Thursday, 25 January 2018 14:36 (six years ago) link

I like the track but the video is a bit silly

mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Thursday, 25 January 2018 14:36 (six years ago) link

it took me a while for it to click but this is by far the best tove lo track

i hope the other tove is still to show up but i really doubt it

Unless you've gotten head from a puppet, don't judge. xp

Johnny Fever, Thursday, 25 January 2018 14:39 (six years ago) link

its placing #17 on ILM's Top 77 Tracks of 2017 is not enough to convince me to listen to a song called "Disco Tits"

what if I asked you to dance to "Disco Tits"

Johnny Fever, Thursday, 25 January 2018 14:45 (six years ago) link

^ I'm the #1 on this one. It was a late decision and partly strategic, but it turned out the song was doing just fine.

Johnny Fever, Thursday, 25 January 2018 14:46 (six years ago) link

great track

Simon H., Thursday, 25 January 2018 14:47 (six years ago) link

hell yeh

nxd, Thursday, 25 January 2018 14:47 (six years ago) link

think this is the third and final of mine to place, absolute banger

nxd, Thursday, 25 January 2018 14:48 (six years ago) link

hearing it now for the first time!

morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 25 January 2018 14:48 (six years ago) link

I like rather than love this one but this is an excellent run of songs in any case.

Matt DC, Thursday, 25 January 2018 14:49 (six years ago) link

Good start to the day. Undercover is a highlight from the album. Happy to see it here.

I really should have voted for Big For Your Boots. Probably the most fun song of the year. The way he says, "boots" will never get old. I wish the rest of the album was that good.

I've only listened to the Fever Ray album once. I enjoyed it at the time, but for some reason I haven't felt the need to go back to it yet. Some of it did seem a bit, Fever Ray/Knife by numbers.

Disco Tits is pretty enjoyable. Probably the closest I've come to really liking anything of hers since Habits. Totally agree with Johnny Fever that she's the lesser of the Toves. Mistakes really should be in here somewhere.

Only discovered the Black Madonna song when going through the Spotify playlist last month. Such a beautifully produced track. It was on my long list.

kitchen person, Thursday, 25 January 2018 14:52 (six years ago) link

Can I just say that that Arcade Fire song is actually good and it wouldn't have totally surprised me that it would make the top 20. I mean, I didn't vote for it, but I like it. Rest of the album is terrible.

silverfish, Thursday, 25 January 2018 14:57 (six years ago) link

A BIG YES to The Black Madonna (but then I did actually vote for "Everything Now", the first AF track I've liked in many years, so you don't want to listen to me).

mike t-diva, Thursday, 25 January 2018 14:59 (six years ago) link

the fact that it actually got a few votes but angered the overwhelming majority made it perhaps the most effective joke entry ever

Simon H., Thursday, 25 January 2018 15:00 (six years ago) link

Agree with "Disco Tits" being just an OK track. I still resent ILM for ignoring "Habits" when it first came out.

daavid, Thursday, 25 January 2018 15:01 (six years ago) link

Black Madonna made my long list too, it was a nice discovery from nominations. i like the piano solo towards the end

didn't Habits place decently in 2014? nowhere near as good as Disco Tits

ufo, Thursday, 25 January 2018 15:03 (six years ago) link

i thought it came top 20

15 KESHA "Praying" [347 points, 10 votes, 1 first place vote]
https://youtu.be/v-Dur3uXXCQ

Johnny Fever, Thursday, 25 January 2018 15:05 (six years ago) link

by no means the best track on a great album but lovely to see it here

#TeamHailing (imago), Thursday, 25 January 2018 15:06 (six years ago) link

I admired the hell out of her this year but didn't actually enjoy any of the music, despite my best efforts

Simon H., Thursday, 25 January 2018 15:07 (six years ago) link

Given everything she's gone through I'm glad she gets to make music again but... I still find her voice extremely annoying.

Roz, Thursday, 25 January 2018 15:08 (six years ago) link

I like the most because it's grinding a stiletto heel into Dr. Luke's tainted legacy like extinguishing a cigarette butt.

Johnny Fever, Thursday, 25 January 2018 15:08 (six years ago) link

Rainbow ended up growing on me a lot over the last couple of months. Praying was an instant classic. My fifth vote to place.

kitchen person, Thursday, 25 January 2018 15:09 (six years ago) link

I voted (quite high) for Spaceship, myself

#TeamHailing (imago), Thursday, 25 January 2018 15:10 (six years ago) link

can admire the sentiment here and it's a great performance but i didn't really care much for it as a song unfortunately

ufo, Thursday, 25 January 2018 15:10 (six years ago) link

― ufo

Actually, yes it did (#16)... but it was originally released in early 2013 and I didn't like the single version that became a hit.

I know I'm just being picky

daavid, Thursday, 25 January 2018 15:11 (six years ago) link

oh I had no idea there was even a 2013 version

ufo, Thursday, 25 January 2018 15:12 (six years ago) link

They did a slight rework of it, I wouldn't say it was a different version. Still, it kind of ruined it for me. Also the original video was way better.

daavid, Thursday, 25 January 2018 15:17 (six years ago) link

glad this placed here

Johnny Fever, Thursday, 25 January 2018 15:25 (six years ago) link

ha! i was wrong

flamenco drop (BradNelson), Thursday, 25 January 2018 15:26 (six years ago) link

a perfect song by my favorite band

flamenco drop (BradNelson), Thursday, 25 January 2018 15:26 (six years ago) link

holy shit!

Simon H., Thursday, 25 January 2018 15:26 (six years ago) link

ok how have I not heard this Black Madonna track til now

brb gonna learn to play the intro on the piano

hoooyaaargh it's me satan (voodoo chili), Thursday, 25 January 2018 15:27 (six years ago) link

I admire the sentiment of Praying but voted for Woman as it's clearly the better song

mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Thursday, 25 January 2018 15:27 (six years ago) link

it's the 90s!

this is quite good. i'll accept it while speedy ortiz have a year or two off. where did 'raising the skate' place that one year again?

#TeamHailing (imago), Thursday, 25 January 2018 15:28 (six years ago) link

charly bliss >>>>>> speedy ortiz

hoooyaaargh it's me satan (voodoo chili), Thursday, 25 January 2018 15:28 (six years ago) link

I listened to this album in binges all year. Like, 20 times one week, take a couple weeks off, 20 times again in another week. "Ruby" is probably still my favorite track, even though it was re-recorded and changed just enough to make it seem ever so slightly less perfect.
