Fabiano Palladino track is heavenly
thanks to whoever nominated
― Number None, Tuesday, 15 January 2019 20:41 (five years ago) link
I did 10 ranked, 15 unranked for both ballots this year. Last year I was disheartened to albums that I liked a lot and put on the bottom of my ballot only get like 5 or 6 points. So now they'll get more.

just realized a couple days back that i never listened to the top 77 trax from last year -- i prob saw the number of good-but-not-great tunes in the top 10 and kept putting it off until i just forgot entirely. now that i've gone back and listened to it all i can happily say that as always there were plenty of gems that i wish i'd been able to discover organically thruout that year. several of the dance tracks especially, particularly those lower on the list. looking forward to what this year's poll brings!

Voted. Unweighted is a godsend.
― pomenitul, Wednesday, 16 January 2019 18:50 (five years ago) link
Voted!
I just wanna campaign for this one because it's not on Spotify and too good to fall under the radar:
Sky Ferreira - Voices Carry (Demo)
― daavid, Wednesday, 16 January 2019 20:10 (five years ago) link
There are 7 of the 9 songs from the robyn album nominated but the only one i like isn't. I think "ever again" knocks the rest out. Weird.

Nego do Borel - Me Solta - hyperactive funk carioca. The video is divisive for a variety of reasons but the song bangs
Heard this while out in Rio a few weeks back and have become obsessed with it.
Though the funk track I heard absolutely everywhere was MC L Da Vinte & MC Gury's "Parado no Bailão". I kept turning to my BF and saying "hey it's the track played on coke bottles again."
― Tim F, Wednesday, 16 January 2019 20:30 (five years ago) link
i feel that Robyn point even though I nominated a track myself. I think everyone has their favorite cut.
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Wednesday, 16 January 2019 21:02 (five years ago) link
Voted albums. See if I can't around to putting some tracks together.
― kraudive, Wednesday, 16 January 2019 21:09 (five years ago) link
here's that 2017 Top 177 btw... added a few tracks that were missing!http://open.spotify.com/user/forksclovetofu/playlist/09SJC7fVyKoOx6mBnRrgFV
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Wednesday, 16 January 2019 21:09 (five years ago) link
xps Added the Sky Ferreira track as a possible earlier after listening to the YouTube playlist.Other favourite find so far is that fantastic Raveena track
― groovypanda, Wednesday, 16 January 2019 21:11 (five years ago) link
the burna boy album is outstanding, i'm glad i got into it before i submitted my ballot
― jolene club remix (BradNelson), Wednesday, 16 January 2019 21:14 (five years ago) link
Yes, Burna rules. I hope people aren’t sleeping on Simmy’s Tugela Fairy album. Gorgeous South African house, produced by Sun-El Musician (who had his own very good - and nominated - album, but Simmy’s is even better imo). I feel fans of (We Are) KING will find a lot to love here too.
― breastcrawl, Wednesday, 16 January 2019 21:21 (five years ago) link
Simmy's on my tracks ballot. Not heard the album
― groovypanda, Wednesday, 16 January 2019 21:25 (five years ago) link
It’s pretty much perfect. So many great tracks, not a single weak one, and wonderfully sequenced.
― breastcrawl, Wednesday, 16 January 2019 21:32 (five years ago) link
i didn't really pick up much from campaigning that wasn't already on my list but i for some reason ignored omar s "games that we play" this year and i really shouldn't have
― jolene club remix (BradNelson), Wednesday, 16 January 2019 21:42 (five years ago) link
anyway def voting tomorrow just gotta... figure out an order for my tracks list finally
― jolene club remix (BradNelson), Wednesday, 16 January 2019 21:43 (five years ago) link
I've got the flu, so spent a good part of this afternoon listening to tracks bigged up in this thread. There are now six or seven strong new contenders for inclusion in my votes. I struggled last year with new music discovery, having devoted most of my time to building my DJ boxes with old music, so this was most welcome.
― mike t-diva, Wednesday, 16 January 2019 22:17 (five years ago) link
both the simmy and sun-el albums deserve space on your lists

Sun-el was my best discovery from last year's rollout, and the album was my summer soundtrack. The sun-el thread then led me to Simmy, whose tracks are proving damned difficult to whittle down right now (but I've got it down to three).
― mike t-diva, Wednesday, 16 January 2019 23:38 (five years ago) link
Damn, I guess I just figured someone (anyone?!) would've voted for the closest thing to a good New Order 2018 single - The Liminanas' "The Gift" (featuring Peter Hook!). Granted, it's not apex New Order, but definitely in the top end of "Waiting for the Siren's Call"-era New Order.― Rod Steel (musicfanatic), Thursday, January 10, 2019 8:00 PM (six days ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

^ brilliant record, in my ballot's top ten
― budo jeru, Wednesday, 16 January 2019 23:45 (five years ago) link
this is the first year i've nominated, and will vote soon. also my first time campaigning !
so, what is my favorite* track (song) of the year ? it's called "trouble" by a band called grapetooth. goofy wonky synth-pop with beastie boys-esque shout vocals, almost like the B boys did a half-assed approximation of a "low"-era bowie track with shaggy but compelling results. the music video is also a real joy imo:

*not really it's just tons of fun and i haven't heard anybody talk about it round these parts
― budo jeru, Thursday, 17 January 2019 00:03 (five years ago) link
Don't know the band, but 'grapetooth' is a literal translation of the Chinese name for Spain.

ugh sorry for embed got too excited
xp
does it mean that spain is like a giant tooth full of grapes just dangling off the end of europe ? or is it more like Land of the Purple-Toothed Winos ?
― budo jeru, Thursday, 17 January 2019 00:36 (five years ago) link
Sooo...due to uh "IT issues" I think we're going to extend the deadline by a week.

Official announcement to follow
Spotify is blocked by local government where I am but I had cause to be in a neighbouring canton where they had spotify booths in many of the local bars, I thought I would give the playlist a cursory listen because playlists of huge numbers of songs is a minor form of incarceration. I started with something called cosmic sheldrake, don't know if i was unlucky but this is truly absymal, I've worked in an office before, I've heard that Imagine Dragon song that sounds like fascism about making packed lunches. And mates, this garbage is the lute playing cousin of that, the kind of compadre that is singing about a local river while making plans to pollute it with toxic dye via a management company in his brothers name

― budo jeru, Thursday, 17 January 2019 05:15 (five years ago) link
Many xps- loanwords in Chinese don't usually get new characters, so something with the same sound is assigned. grape tooth = putao ya = Portugal, so not Spain, which would be xibanya, 'west class tooth,' yes this is a bit off topic now
― mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Thursday, 17 January 2019 07:46 (five years ago) link

This would be great for me b/c the deadline coincides with both a house inspection and a funeral and I've been stressing about those instead of finishing my ballot. Poor priorities, I know.

Thanks for the extension guys, I was starting to panic at getting my tracks ballot done, having spent many hours riffling through the spotify play list (thanks forks...). I didn't manage to get many nominations in this year, but while I'm here let me lobby for Julia Jacklin, in particular 'Head Alone', if not just for the delight of the bridge.

Hello seandalai: When I voted, I chose "mixed" ballot, then stupidly forgot to put the extra line break between the ranked and unranked lists. I'm fine with just ranking the whole thing if that's easier.

if you haven't heard it yet, Sloppy Jane's 'Mindy' is one of the wildest songs I've heard in a while.
Thanks for this! I liked the song so much I streamed the album, and liked the album so much I bought it and have listened to it about four times in the last two days. If I get around to voting in this poll, it'll make my ballot.
