ILM's 2018 End of Year Tracks & Albums Poll / VOTING THREAD

i never loved you fully in the way i should
i fought the current running just the way you would
and now iiiiiiiiiiiii

oh nice i had missed that there was a maggie album this year

Atropos, the closing track on the Harmony Rockets album is gorgeous.

xp the maggie album came out today, so you missed nothing

lol

I'm so behind, this extension is very welcome. I can just about manage a 10-album ballot.

Just voted. Let's go Aviary.

voted

thanks for the extension!

having your #1 track fail to place builds character (also indicates lack of shit taste)

Voted. Included one write-in track. Hope that's OK.

Voted, cutting it close.

the maggie rogers album is superlative starbucks music and I promise I'm not saying that as an insult

Voted (er, a few days ago but forgot to mention it)

yes, thanks for the extension to the 25th seandalai!

I nominated “Fallingwater”. It’ll be very high on my ballot - thanks for giving it a shout out Brad.

The album is great - recommended for HAIM fans. There used to be a few of those around here.

I just resent my ballot, which was redone a bit. I hope you can replace my old one with the new?

otm and one of the reasons i like it

I forgot a crucial album in my top 25 and resubmitted (sans tracks ballot this time). Hope it counts, but if not - its not the end of the world.

If you vote again and post here, I'll go back and delete your first ballot.

Yeah, just as guilty, but not seeing Lando Chill's Black Ego was a bit surprising (it's on my list as a write in)

we were talking about fake new order?

submitting my ballot today somehow

I've voted, quite surprised by what ended up topping my albums ballot but there were four or five in contention with no frontrunner.

And yes, Keflavik made my ballot, that's just glorious.

lol that was fast but i'm done! can't wait for the rollout

Oh yeah, that Kasper Marrot song is so good. I thought I had my singles list ready to go, but I might need to reconsider. Still haven't found room for that awesome Toni Braxton single either.

Voted! Such a relief to get it sent in. I spent way too long trying to get my tracks list done.

I'm a total sucker for fake new order

Buzzed through the tracks playlist, It seems like 50% afropop, which totally rules?

checks out

this was me too, super strong year with no clear frontrunner.

the Kasper Marrot track is great!

ahhh just putting my ballot together now and somehow we collectively neglected to nominate the Internet's album

deeply regret forgetting Britten's theme for Succession as a track nom; hoping he wins an Oscar for Beale Street

Find room!

i agree with above

just making my ballot this morning

damn nobody nominated the 700 bliss album!

anyways, voted!

go dots!

Guided by Voices – That’s Good

this track is awesome, could totally be a "soft bulletin" outtake

That's a terrible sales pitch.

i'm not trying to sell anything !

it just came on as i was listening playlist and that's what the track reminded me of. why is that terrible

E Ruscha V & Woo - Woo Are You

amazing, thanks to whoever nominated this !

The E Ruscha album is really good too, been chilling out with it a lot lately.

oh man i've just started listening my body is a-buzz

playing "osiris" by maisha on bandcamp and "hidden beauties" by ANNA on spotify. wild

i should've done this sooner if i were actually gonna get anyone to vote for these, but..

i love the suba album, 'wayang,' which is for if you want tribal drums and kosmische synth to coax you into an out of body experience

and on the same label, geins't naït and laurent petitgand's 'make dogs sing' which is sort of a cozy rainy day soundtrack to falling into a k-hole

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNMAOZmmE6g

i also nominated the job sifre EP het bestaan as an album b/c it's long enough to be a mini LP and every track is great. the one that got me obsessed with job sifre (and his amazing mix series on red light radio) is 'at least we try,' a long, churning, nasty thing that becomes quite beautiful by the end, with a swaying dub bassline and studio-esque melody

suba sounds good, thanks for posting (dipping into the other two rn)

Mother of Mars - Hera In The Valley

wowwwwwwwww

seandalai, I submitted two ballots - the first has my correct tracks ballot, the 2nd my correct albums ballot. Is that too complicated to merge? Should I submit a third that has both correct?

I did it, finally!

sent!
