Someone should've told me earlier

Yeah, got strong Horse Lords vibes on the one track I've heard so far
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Thursday, 7 February 2019 15:52 (five years ago) link
FYI on mccraven: dude tapes his live sets and then remixes them after for loops and effects.

The title track is so gorgeous
― jmm, Thursday, 7 February 2019 16:07 (five years ago) link
Whole album is gorgeous tbh! my fave is likely Black Lion.it's not quite as good but "where we come from" which is ALSO from 2018 is definitely worth listening to as well.

looks like I am going to be a euro ilxor sat in an mostly empty club later tonight, following the final rollout of these albums by the glow of my phone, nursing a vodka tonic pale ale, while sad German techno some underground rap nonsense throbs in the background

we've just had a new ikea open today, could follow it from there

i feel like a little kid waiting impatiently at the gates of the candy factory here. when do we see inside the top 20?
― goats eat grandma (NickB), Thursday, 7 February 2019 16:12 (five years ago) link
to be honest, the early part of these rollouts is more interesting, when more surprises pop up. The final 10 or 20 feel a lot more inevitable, what with all the guessing that's already happened.

Is it so inevitable?

How upset will people be when Koenji Hyakkei take #2
― ultros ultros-ghali, Thursday, 7 February 2019 16:19 (five years ago) link
I don't think all those people who guessed the top 15 placements are too far off. It's just the ordering that's still up in the air. The new discoveries for me have probably already happened (Lala Belu, Eiko Ishibashi)
― enochroot, Thursday, 7 February 2019 16:22 (five years ago) link
pretty upset, #2 is too low
xp
― frogbs, Thursday, 7 February 2019 16:22 (five years ago) link
how about all the pissed off 30+ ilm synthpop fans when robyn misses the top 10?
― Oor Neechy, Thursday, 7 February 2019 16:22 (five years ago) link
What are you thinking will place, enochroot?
― imago, Thursday, 7 February 2019 16:23 (five years ago) link

I could be wrong, but I think you're overestimating how strongly people feel about that record. I'd be really surprised if it makes the top 10, but also maybe top 15?
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 7 February 2019 16:27 (five years ago) link
i would rather see robyn place top ten in your poll tbh friedrich neechy
― goats eat grandma (NickB), Thursday, 7 February 2019 16:28 (five years ago) link
if Robyn really had 30+ voters she'd be like top 3 but i don't think she'll get that many
― ufo, Thursday, 7 February 2019 16:29 (five years ago) link
Cheers for that nick!
― Friedrich B. Neechy (Oor Neechy), Thursday, 7 February 2019 16:30 (five years ago) link
lol I meant 30+ in age
it's not quite as good but "where we come from" which is ALSO from 2018 is definitely worth listening to as well.
Listening now. The looping and editing seems more foregrounded on this one, not quite as seamless.
― jmm, Thursday, 7 February 2019 16:30 (five years ago) link
oh lol xp

Sorry I was busy, countdown will resume in about 10 minutes.

I think Janelle Monae will win actually . Just a hunch.
― Friedrich B. Neechy (Oor Neechy), Thursday, 7 February 2019 16:32 (five years ago) link
she won't
― jolene club remix (BradNelson), Thursday, 7 February 2019 16:32 (five years ago) link
i'm a gonna win
― ciderpress, Thursday, 7 February 2019 16:33 (five years ago) link
i have a feeling we're gonna party like it's 1975

being on the west coast, I appreciate this delay
― octobeard, Thursday, 7 February 2019 16:34 (five years ago) link
they should call it the 1976 when you're there
― ciderpress, Thursday, 7 February 2019 16:35 (five years ago) link
I tell you one thing, I've got no idea what will win metal poll.
― Friedrich B. Neechy (Oor Neechy), Thursday, 7 February 2019 16:36 (five years ago) link
I think we only have 9 ballots but I haven't seen them
1975 = 5 x 5 x 79, therefore numerologically they have either placed 5th or 79th

every vote for Autechre should be assigned 4x the points, if this poll was truly fair

https://i.imgur.com/81QDRoq.jpg#20: Daphne & Celeste - Daphne & Celeste Save The World - 455 points – 13 votes
Daphne and Celeste
Cameron Cook: " By working with Daphne & Celeste’s notoriety and, it turns out, actual charm, Max Tundra is able to project his idea of what pop should sound like in 2018 onto an essentially blank slate. Instead of a tired pastiche, the three musicians have created one of the most weirdly compelling pop collaborations in recent memory."
Tim Sendra: "Hooking up with D&C proved a genius move by Jacobs, and the same is true for D&C. It's a surprising and decidedly odd combination that works amazingly well, like olive oil and ice cream. Daphne & Celeste may not save the world, but a listen to this album is sure to make the world a better place for about 45 minutes or so, and sometimes that's enough."

AHAHAHA *cackle intensifies*

And here's me thinking there'd be no surprises

this is the fake joke, right?
― Friedrich B. Neechy (Oor Neechy), Thursday, 7 February 2019 16:47 (five years ago) link
ILM pulls through :)
My number 3. Max Tundra, Daphne & Celeste forever
― imago, Thursday, 7 February 2019 16:47 (five years ago) link
a pleasing listen but i didnt go back to too often
― nxd, Thursday, 7 February 2019 16:48 (five years ago) link
I'll add that few people get how to make the sort of melodic, breakneck pop I love better than Tundra, he's sort of a genius and this is sort of his masterpiece
― imago, Thursday, 7 February 2019 16:49 (five years ago) link
I knew it! Good album.
― kitchen person, Thursday, 7 February 2019 16:50 (five years ago) link
ok fine i'll listen to this album, jeez
― simmy simmy ya, simmy yam simmy yay (voodoo chili), Thursday, 7 February 2019 16:50 (five years ago) link
i wanted to love the idea of 'max tundra makes a Pop album' but i only liked it and didn't feel the need to revisit it much. cool enough to see it place though
― ufo, Thursday, 7 February 2019 16:52 (five years ago) link
if I'd ranked this would've been #1
― mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Thursday, 7 February 2019 16:53 (five years ago) link
Is this how you apologize to LJ after putting Baby Shark in the tracks poll, no way did 13 people vote for this
― frogbs, Thursday, 7 February 2019 16:54 (five years ago) link
― breastcrawl, Thursday, 7 February 2019 16:54 (five years ago) link
13 people voted for it because it's good and they liked it
― mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Thursday, 7 February 2019 16:55 (five years ago) link
lol i think i voted for this yw lj
― Mordy, Thursday, 7 February 2019 16:56 (five years ago) link
I totally called this as placing 20th! It is about as infectious and kitsch as it could be and there are a thousand wonderful synth hooks. A.L.T.O, Taking Notes and Somg to a Succulent are highlights.
