There were rolling collaborative 'anything goes' playlists back in the day and tho prone to chaos they mostly worked well. Collab. playlists on Spotify now seem to be invite-only so it should be easy enough to manage and worth a go.

I like the idea of a current year listening club starting after the polls with a thread where people comment on latest additions (offhand or Tim F style). I would aim for 3-7 songs per week, either on first-come first-served basis, or people mention when they have a song they want to post and Moka adds it.
I wouldn't do all-time anything goes, but it could be very interesting for a specific era / location / broad genre. Say, pre-1950s music, or a travelogue through lesser-known countries / subcultures.

They've not crossed my path before, but really enjoying the De Lux album so thanks to whoever nominated that. Scratching that itch I didn't know I had for more 80s influenced synth-pop a la Cut Copy
― groovypanda, Wednesday, 25 January 2023 08:30 (one year ago) link
Was me. De Lux have put a bunch of good tracks out over the years and the singer's quite a Byrne-soundalike at times.

Haha yes, we just saw that ourselves. Honestly I feel like if it keeps getting reviews over the years that's no bad thing: screw release-date push, just review us whenever. Half of the band didn't know who Christgau was, while I was like w(°o°)w !

Maybe in ten years there'll be enough interest to finance a luxurious reunion tour (we'd all be hella old so got to have hotels and maybe a foot-spa on the rider).

Look forward to that even if i don't totally grasp how it's much different from youtube embeds on a Rolling pageMostly it'll be nice because it will work on my phone.... i see now in the Flagging app thread that it's not just me who can't see YouTube embeds on that. Will have to try using browser more.

I feel so bad about not voting for Asake's album "Mr Money With the Vibe" that I'm going to tell my friends to start calling me by its name. In its honour.
― maf you one two (maffew12), Friday, 27 January 2023 03:28 (one year ago) link
I saw that Slum Legs listing, super cool. Christgau's list overall I liked just for its Christgau-ness, he has no compunction about sticking by his old faves — Buck 65, Todd Snider and Tommy Womack all in the top 20. But also still an open ear to catch things here and there.

does Buck 65 sound like Serengeti now or do i have that backwards?

Real Lies could do it. Beyonce usually comes fourth in our polls and I'd like to see her keep that up.

I miss not being in the team of pollrunners so I could speculate and discover things ilm seems to love that I had no idea they existed along the way.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Monday, 30 January 2023 00:52 (one year ago) link
First time - at least since I’ve been helping behind scenes - when we’ll run albums first and then tracks.
Note regarding my end: For album images I didn’t do too much work this time. I’m using the actual album covers for the image as usualz for the tracks poll I used midjourney A.I. which I thought would save more time but it’s actually more time-consuming than picking and editing already existing images. It was still fun to make and love some of the results I got playing around with it.
If I’m around next year I’ll probably spend more time on the template and ditch a.i. completely.
Results for both polls are great imho, hope you’ll enjoy! See you tomorrow!
Thanks seandalai and forks for all the work!

Albums then tracks is a good idea, because the tracks rollout has always been the main draw of our EOY polls for me. Albums felt like an epilogue (and, now I guess, a prologue).

Opposite for me!

Not surprising. Don't think there's ever been a year with more tracks ballots than albums ballots, but I could be wrong.
