ILM's Top 77 Tracks of 2019

And my #2

flirting with her took a hit by being the second one i heard

Really hope the album places, and I did my part. Sandwiched in-between votes for Sunn O))) and Deathspell Omega.

now with new and improved Octo Octa image!

couple of post vote things. i *really* enjoyed saer’s youtube list of his noms. a reminder to pay more attention to the bobbins thread this year.

don’t know who nommed Daz How Starz Do, (maybe rob or breast crawl?) but it became a favourite, so thanks. tho not thanks for having “ten million, ten million for a show” going round my head.

poured one out for one of my favourites of last year - Destra and Spice - Trouble.

And just to say with Nick B that Richard Dawson is amazing live - one of my favourite gigs last year, confusingly the other one was Dawn Richard.

Had to check, but “Daz How Star Do” wasn’t nominated! It was on lex’s tracks of 2019 list tho, so maybe you saw it there? Anyway, it’s a real fun track. Are you familiar with Skiibii’s previous hit “Sensima”? I like that one even better.

Ah, yes, I think you're right bc. And I am not familiar with Sensima, at least not as I recall, though i do have an immense capacity for listening to stuff and then forgetting about it until it pops into my head for no reason. (I woke up with Trini Dem Girls in my head the other day, a song I don't think I could have voluntarily retrieved at gunpoint). I will check it out!

:D

Just tried listening to "Jogging" again. Nope.

I agree, too resonant rn

I don’t f with the “old town road” with brc

Were all the Balloon votes some kind of ILX in-joke that I don't get? Because it's not a very good song

it was a joyous little upper in a bad year, if only we'd known how much we were gonna need that in 2020

I’d find some out of context quotes from barthelme’s “balloon” story but I’m too lazy

half of the songs in these polls don't have a very long half-life. jogging and balloon are good examples.

floating floating

Of the ones I didn't know beforehand, "Jogging" is the one that I came back to most, I think.

almost all this music feels like it was released YEARS ago to me now, fuck this is a bad time

I'm fairly convinced High Lights is one of the best songs ever. Who knows. Maybe it will be diminished on play nth

Every balloon is now potentially a colourful, joyful little capsule of plague. See what we've done.

It’s good, but it says 2015.

Many of these tracks (including Balloon of course) feature in my 2019 mix, which you can stream here
