i think the Jayda G track nommed above should be "Both of Us" yea?

― davey, Sunday, 13 December 2020 02:09 (one minute ago) bookmarkflaglink

I'm going to assume yes - no track called "One of us"

If I want to nominate tracks with many artists (e.g. this is how the title of the video appears on YouTube J. Balvin, Dua Lipa, Bad Bunny, Tainy - One Day) how do I list them?

― daavid, Sunday, 13 December 2020 01:18 (fifty-three minutes ago) bookmarkflaglink

like that is fine

― call mr zbow that's my name that name again is mr zbow (Craig D.), Saturday, 12 December 2020 19:47 (yesterday) bookmarkflaglink

the only things we ban outright are straight rereleases, and anything that placed in a previous year's top 77

Should 'Club Future Nostalgia' be its own thing or subsumed under 'Future Nostalgia'? The former would be v high on my list, the latter would be a bit lower

I'll go with whatever the consensus is; someone was asking about the Adrianne Lenker albums upthread too. But it kind of has to be decided today.

I'll nom I

ugh I hate ilxor on my phone.

*I'll nom it then to be safe. Feel like it's enough of its own thing.

ALBUMS

Dua Lips & The Blessed Madonna - Club Future Nostalgia'

28/40

remix albums are generally considered distinct entities from the original albums for the EOY poll aren't they (unlike tracks)? it surely makes sense to here

the adrianne lenker albums could go either way, they were released separately digitally but always bundled together physically. it doesn't really bother me either way and isn't going to really effect my voting (though i am likely to vote for one/both of them)

If we're still going...

TRACKS:
Irreversible Entanglements - Who Sent You/Ritual
CS + Kreme - Saint
[25/40 - but that will do from me I think]

Ok I've decided to split out the Lenkers and the Lipas for ballot purposes. We could decide to combine the scores still (like what we do for track remixes).

Nominations are closed! I'll have the voting thread up in a bit.

Just realized I forgot Michael Olatuja's Lagos Pepper Soup. :(

Can I swap out Birdwise for that one?

ok ok - album or track?
