Only catching up to the rollout now. Black Dresses was my no 2, love that album. Other than that
― silverfish, Wednesday, 6 February 2019 12:41 (five years ago) link
It was mine as well!!

xpost to myself, other than that the other thing I voted for that showed up is Neneh Cherry, which I enjoyed a lot more than her previous album, but which didn't seem to generate a huge amount of discussion around here. Glad that it placed.
― silverfish, Wednesday, 6 February 2019 13:07 (five years ago) link
I'm listening to it right now! And really should've given it more attention last year; it's great.

I guess the Gurrumul album is highly unlikely to show up at this point :-( (maybe only Nourry and I listened to it???)― Tim F
― Tim F
I'd love if the album ranked higher, but seems unlikely for it to show up at all.
these all made my ballot (i think). I wish Ashley, Mewithoutyou and Meshell placed higher, tho.
Cardi B – Invasion of PrivacyMariah Carey - CautionCharlie Puth - VoicenotesGang Gang Dance – KazuashitaAshley Monroe - Sparrow Mewithoutyou – untitledMeshell Ndegeocello - Ventriloquism

Just listened to the whole GGD album and while it has some nice 'views' as Matt puts it, and the occasionally inspired meld of noises...I'm on Team Gauzy And Meandering tbh. But it's by no means the worst offender that will turn up in this rundown
― imago, Wednesday, 6 February 2019 13:17 (five years ago) link
Lots to catch up with already and I'm too swamped to follow the rest of the rollout. If three more of mine place, I'll consider it a success.

that eiko ishibashi record is glorious
― nxd, Wednesday, 6 February 2019 13:28 (five years ago) link
it's v good yes

Things I voted for that I’m still holding out a glimmer of hope for: J Balvin (would be nice, but doubtful), Makaya McCraven (my surprise vote, and I have no idea really), and of course Simmy (it would break my heart if she didn’t place, but I guess it’s very likely now).
― breastcrawl, Wednesday, 6 February 2019 13:37 (five years ago) link
I'm quite pleased that three of my top five will definitely place.
There's a fourth of course that MAY show up, but I'm loath to name it for superstitious reasons. There might be some u.g.l.y. scenes if it does though
― imago, Wednesday, 6 February 2019 13:39 (five years ago) link
think i'm correct in saying that eiko oshibashi is the first record on drag city to make one of these lists since, um, joanna newsome? would never have happened if DC hadn't just recently dropped their no streaming policy amirite
― my name is leee john, for we are many (NickB), Wednesday, 6 February 2019 13:40 (five years ago) link
i'd still be pretty surprised if Simmy doesn't place, she got ~16 voters in the tracks poll so she still has a good chance here. though it would be partially my fault if Tugela Fairy didn't place as i only voted for "Ubala" and really should have voted for the album too, but it only really went from 'good' to 'great' for me in the last week

Would like to think people weren't that lazy/cheap that ALL their listening was done via streaming and didn't actually buy their music from time to time
― Oor Neechy, Wednesday, 6 February 2019 13:52 (five years ago) link
I only got around to the hearing the Gurrumul record through the playlist here. The arrangements are certainly way more interesting than I had realised. Fairly impressive that something like that topped the Aus charts.
― Nag! Nag! Nag!, Wednesday, 6 February 2019 13:53 (five years ago) link
actually i'm thinking that bill callahan or will oldham or 6ooa or rangda might have 77'ed at some point in the last 10 years? they all seem like ancient history now though xp
― my name is leee john, for we are many (NickB), Wednesday, 6 February 2019 13:56 (five years ago) link
I got the impression that many voters for “Ubala” and/or “Umahlalela” weren’t even aware she had an album out, but I would love to be proven wrong.
― breastcrawl, Wednesday, 6 February 2019 14:00 (five years ago) link
re: Simmy
I'm pretty sure I can name ~30 albums that will definitely place from here on in but I haven't the faintest idea what's going to be #1.
― Matt DC, Wednesday, 6 February 2019 14:06 (five years ago) link
i got 'best of pinkfong' and that's it
― nxd, Wednesday, 6 February 2019 14:12 (five years ago) link
what's going to be the joke placement, Idles?
― ufo, Wednesday, 6 February 2019 14:16 (five years ago) link
ooof that'd be a good one
― imago, Wednesday, 6 February 2019 14:17 (five years ago) link
catching up on thread - usually more hyped for the tracks poll, but I'm really liking this rollout so far! Intrigued by Senyawa and Hailu Mergia.
Forgot to vote for Mariah, surprised to see Cardi so low. Charlie Puth is ugh - I actually don't hate most of the singles I've heard, but pretty much all of them seem to be about how terrible his girlfriends are.
― Roz, Wednesday, 6 February 2019 14:18 (five years ago) link
imo these are all gonna place

sounds right except for against all logic
― jolene club remix (BradNelson), Wednesday, 6 February 2019 14:27 (five years ago) link
i'd add The Beths, Sun-El Musician, and Janelle Monae to that and then i can think of 25 or so others that seem like decent chances of filling the remaining spots. the only one of those i could imagine not making it is A.A.L?
― ufo, Wednesday, 6 February 2019 14:29 (five years ago) link
oh yeah duh to all of those
― bhad bundy (Simon H.), Wednesday, 6 February 2019 14:31 (five years ago) link
And Autechre iirc
― Uptown VONC (Le Bateau Ivre), Wednesday, 6 February 2019 14:31 (five years ago) link
I could honestly imagine the Grande getting 78'd though
yes to Autechre
― bhad bundy (Simon H.), Wednesday, 6 February 2019 14:32 (five years ago) link
I don't think Earl Sweatshirt of Yves Tumor are locks either.
― Matt DC, Wednesday, 6 February 2019 14:33 (five years ago) link
was hoping drug church would place in the lower regions of the chart oh well
― jolene club remix (BradNelson), Wednesday, 6 February 2019 14:33 (five years ago) link
add to simon's list: hop along
― jolene club remix (BradNelson), Wednesday, 6 February 2019 14:34 (five years ago) link
I'm hoping Sons of Kemet are still to come.
― jmm, Wednesday, 6 February 2019 14:35 (five years ago) link
no love for lil xan?
― nxd, Wednesday, 6 February 2019 14:36 (five years ago) link
i'm hoping there's some chance Madeline Kenney still places but that seems pretty unlikely at this stage
― ufo, Wednesday, 6 February 2019 14:36 (five years ago) link
yes to Sons of Kemet and Hop Along, no to Drug Church :( (not for my lack of trying!)
― bhad bundy (Simon H.), Wednesday, 6 February 2019 14:36 (five years ago) link
I think the US Girls album will be in there, probably Christine & The Queens as well. Has the Rolling Blackouts album placed yet?
― Matt DC, Wednesday, 6 February 2019 14:41 (five years ago) link
it hasn't and I could see it making it in soon. I don't think US Girls are gonna make it :/
― bhad bundy (Simon H.), Wednesday, 6 February 2019 14:42 (five years ago) link
Chris will definitely make it and i would really hope US Girls are too
― ufo, Wednesday, 6 February 2019 14:43 (five years ago) link
oh i would have that MAH wudda made the tracks
― nxd, Wednesday, 6 February 2019 14:44 (five years ago) link
no one else has said much in its favour but I love how elegantly understated devotion is. at times it feels very interior, conversations being rehearsed and thought over rather than reported. it's quite oblique in how its presented, with flat affect giving way to vulnerability and then dreaming off again. it's not really like anything else I've heard and it's easily my fav thing mica levi has been involved in, such a good pairing

I'm still holding out for Daphne and Celeste, but I'm not entirely sure if that will happen.
