THE 2012 ILM SUPER-MEGA YEAR-END ALBUMS 'N' TRACKS POLL™ is open for nominations! (ends Sunday January 6)

It's that time of year again here on ILM. You've seen (most of) the rest, so now it's time we assemble the best.

BIG NEWS! The long standing tradition of nominations being grouped together in a chunk of some single number for both albums and tracks is over. You can now nominate 15 albums and 15 tracks. Really, you can still mix any combination of the two inside your allotted 30 nominations, because we've never had a problem generating a really comprehensive list from which to vote before, but some people like more rigid divisions. Whatever.

Things to keep in mind when you nominate, especially if you don't do it all at once:

Label your ALBUMS and your TRACKS lists. J0rdan, seandalai and I hear a whole bunch of music, but we're not familiar with everything. This helps out a great deal.

Format your nominations in this order:
Artist - Album
Artist - Track
(NEVER Album - Artist or Track - Artist... not only is this an archivist's nightmare, but it's also harder on us when trying to make a proper nominations list.)

So, now nominations are open! They will close at 7pm EST on Sunday, January 6th 2013 (that's midnight for the Britishes and 4pm for our friends on the left coast of the US).

Nadia Oh - Taking Over The Dancefloor

Wasn't this on last year's list?

I don't understand why we've adopted this half have to be albums/half have to be tracks rule just cause ship can't count past 15.

You can now nominate 15 albums and 15 tracks. Really, you can still mix any combination of the two inside your allotted 30 nominations

i don't understand this actually - do we have to nominate 15 of each as per the first sentence or can we nominate eg 25 tracks and 5 albums as per the second? if the former, that's dumb

30 noms, nominate what you like afaict.

Somehow I feel like I'm not going to have enough nomination space.

Sadface at prosaic thread title. Taylor had gifted us a title to use. Whose on the thread pun committee these days?

*Who's* ugh

Blondes - Lover

This is a 2011 track fwiw, pretty sure I nommed it last year

awww.... but it was released on album this year - more people will have heard it no?

Just realised Voices From The Lake is already nommed. I will replace it with ...

BIG NEWS! The long standing tradition of nominations being grouped together in a chunk of some single number for both albums and tracks is over. You can now nominate 15 albums and 15 tracks. Really, you can still mix any combination of the two inside your allotted 30 nominations, because we've never had a problem generating a really comprehensive list from which to vote before, but some people like more rigid divisions. Whatever.

haha JF you drive me nuts. what i complained about before was that the OPTION of being able to use more nominations on albums vs. singles created a whole dilemma on what to allot more of my noms to. the option is still there, therefore the dilemma is still there. the only thing that's better now is that at least it's an even number!

i don't even know the difference b/w now and before.

before it was 25 nominations per person in any combination of albums/singles

awww.... but it was released on album this year - more people will have heard it no?

Oh yeah sure, I was just working through both my pedantry and my vainglorious firstiesness in one fell swoop.

i listened to that Alabama Shakes album again last night. It's the kind of thing that makes me wish I was watching it live. I like it.

ALBUMS
1. Penny Royale, This Town (Sleepy Hollow)
2. Sontag Shogun, Absent Warrior, Abandoned Battlefield (Palaver)
3. Melody's Echo Chamber, Melody's Echo Chamber (Fat Possum)

Love critmas, it's a thrill just eyeballing these lists and being all "what was THAT?"

SINGLES
1. Ab-Soul, "Track Two" (Top Dawg Entertainment)
2. Mike Bell, "Monroe Station" (MT6)
3. Black Dice, "Pigs" (Ribbon)
4. Death Grips, "I've Seen Footage" (Epic)

9. Starving Weirdoes, "Land Lines" (Amish)
10. Neil Young and Crazy Horse, "Walk Like A Giant

Nice one, I was thinking of nominating Pigs. Black Dice are very much missing from EOY polls this year and yet Mr Impossible is the best thing they've done since Beaches & Canyons - beating Battles at their own game; total turbo-driven corruscated rave.

Hey Johnny Fever if at some point you want me to link to the spreadsheet in the opening post then just shout. It'll probably be useful once the thread grows.

*just realized I nominated Melody' Echo Chamber after someone else already had

Thank you, based hypnocat

I can't work out if I like Melody's Echo Chamber. On one hand it's quite pleasant and has quite a few moments of transcendence into something wonderful. On the other hand, it's yet another 2012 album with hazy indistinct chimey fuzz-guitars and a detached female vocal, that falls somewhere along a tri-axis between the Knife, the XX and Dirty Projectors without really grabbing my attention very much or making me very excited at all.

Mark Lanegan Band - Funeral Blues

oops this should read

Mark Lanegan Band - Blues Funeral

Nadia Oh - Taking Over The Dancefloor

Wasn't this on last year's list?

― The Reverend, Wednesday, December 12, 2012 10:52 AM (3 hours ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

Yes, this placed last year. You get one nomination back, Michael B Higgins.

Chairlift - I Belong In Your Arms
Chairlift - I Belong In Your Arms (John Talabot & Pional Remix)

Remember remixes get counted together with the original (a policy that doesn't always make sense, but hey), so dog latin if you're worried about maxing out your nominations maybe scratch one of these?

"Somebody That I Used To Know" placed last year, should it be off the table this year?

Yes

I think of "Somebody That I Used To Know" as being from this year really, as this was the year it charted. I'll claim back that nom then w/r/t Chairlift

yeah i'm sure most of ilx hadn't heard the Gotye song until after last year's poll, but i'm fine w/ it being restricted from placing 2 years in a row. just frees up more room on my noms/ballot.

We had the same discussion last time with "Ass on the Floor" iirc. Pretty much the only rule we have about nominations is that if something places one year it can't be nominated in a subsequent year.

TRACKS

Georgia Anne Muldrow - Best Love
Keith Fullerton Whitman - Issue Generator (for Eliane Radigue)

Christian Mistress - "Haunted Hunted"

I want to vote for at least four different Jessie Ware songs.

Wait, Witch Mountain had a record out this year? This is what I get for only reading the metal thread when they do their EOY poll. Said poll last year introduced me to 'South of Salem'. Excited to hear the new one!

I voted for that Lambchop album already, EZ Snappin

TRACKS

Icona Pop - I Love It

1/15

Sorry, missed the 'chop. Thanks for nominating it already!

New Witch Mountain is better than South of Salem, and "Bloodhound" is from a new single that you can get for free from the Scion AV club. It's the best thing they've done yet.

Gotye is, evidently, somebody that we used to know.

*groan*

as far as dog latin jokes go that's actually in the top 10 percent or so

dad latin

DL, Words and Music was nommed by Kitchen Person and you've nommed Bat For Lashes twice. I know it's good, but...

I don't understand why we've adopted this half have to be albums/half have to be tracks rule just cause ship can't count past 15.

30 noms, nominate what you like afaict.

― Albert Crampus (NickB), Wednesday, December 12, 2012 6:04 AM (4 hours ago)

NickB otm. Everyone has the option of splitting their noms evenly now that we've upped the total to 30 from 25, but you can really still nominate as much of one and as little of the other as you feel like (within 30).

why limit the # at all, honestly

Albums:

Soko - I Thought I Was An Alien

4/15

haha JF you drive me nuts. what i complained about before was that the OPTION of being able to use more nominations on albums vs. singles created a whole dilemma on what to allot more of my noms to. the option is still there, therefore the dilemma is still there. the only thing that's better now is that at least it's an even number!

― some dude, Wednesday, December 12, 2012 6:39 AM (3 hours ago)

<3 u, some dude.

why limit the # at all, honestly

When I did the alt 70s album poll a few years ago (and I think it happened again in the 20th century track poll), some clown came in and dropped 300 nominations in one go, half of which were junk, and then never even voted.

why limit the # at all, honestly

Good question. The main argument is that if people started dumping their personal top 100 lists, then the thread and spreadsheet would become unusable. Having a cap means that people have to think a bit harder about what to nominate and leads to a better shortlist.

yeah...i do think limiting the # is a good idea. i just feel like it should be kept as simple as possible, the 'do as many of this or that as you like' thing is TOO MUCH CHOICE for me!!

Last year we had 755 album nominations and 1238 track nominations btw.

ALBUMS

Ondatrópica - Ondatrópica
Alexander Tucker - Third Mouth
Six Organs of Admittance - Ascent
Eternal Tapestry - Dawn in Two Dimensions
Moon Duo - Circles

uh oh I think it's 2 Dimensions not Two -- is that a problem?

no problem

At least not too much of one.

What does "place" mean in the context of this thread?

Like what if I don't wanna vote for " hit me" this year but want to vote for it next year?

Oh also

Bitchin Bajas - Vibraquatic
Sylvester Anfang II - Perzische Tapijten

That's 7/15?

― Raymond Cummings, Wednesday, December 12, 2012 10:45 AM (1 minute ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

it just means that if after we vote in this year's poll Mystikal is in the final list, then the song won't be eligible in the 2013 poll

and that since Gotye was voted into the results of last year's poll, it's not eligible this time around, etc.

What does "place" mean in the context of this thread?

Top 77 in any previous year.*

* More or less; the 77 concept started in 2010, before that the rollout was shorter. I'm not sure what we would do if someone wanted to nominate a pre-2010 track/album.

Right. If something was nominated last year, but didn't appear in last year's top 77, but would still be eligible this year, then it's fair game. In the case of Nadia Oh or Gotye, where it DID appear in last year's top 77, it's ineligible.

I'm not sure what we would do if someone wanted to nominate a pre-2010 track/album.

If there's a justifiable claim that some track or album from two or more years back made a legitimate impact in 2012, and not "I only just heard _______ this year and I want to nominate it," then it's cool with me.

Album
Trust - TRST
Daughn Gibson - All Hell
Japandroids - Celebration Rock

Tracks
Florrie - Shot You Down
Carly Rae Jepsen - Call Me Maybe
Charli XCX - So Far Away
Trust - Gloryhole
Japandroids - The House That Heaven Built
Loreen - Euphoria
Gatekeeper - Encarta
John Talabot - Depak Inc

JF I meant if someone nominated a 2009 album that had impact this year but came e.g. 71st in that year's poll - it wouldn't have placed in the 2009 rollout but would have placed under a 77 regime. I guess we don't need to address that until someone nominates Black Eyed Peas - Boom Boom Pow.

o i c

Yeah, it doesn't happen very much, but it inevitably will happen at least once.

Every year I intend to hold off nominating until late in the process but I always get carried away.

Question--
Are tracks from Can's Lost Tapes eligible if they were just released this year?

Compilations and archival recordings that are "new" as of 2012 are eligible. Reissues, no matter how extravagant the packaging and/or extras, are not.

Which means Lost Tapes is ok.

Just noticed this from Tuomas's nominations:

Laurie Spiegel - The Expanding Universe (this is technically a reissue from the 1970s, but 50% of it is material that's never been released before, so I think it should qualify)

This is still technically a reissue. As cool as it is (and it's COOL), I think it falls outside the just about the only rule I've set regarding eligibility.

I forgot the Jaffe! Good one, Drugs A. Money.

Fixed.

nope, two rs: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirrorring

unfixed :D

oops, "Legowelt - The Paranormal Sound" should be "Legowelt - The Paranormal Soul"

Fixed. Also, I went ahead and added Channel Orange so no one would have to waste a nom on it.

well blow me down, i hadn't noticed that mirrorring spelling before. not just me though, loads of sites have it listed wrong. i do beg yr pardon!

If it's good for nothing else, the EOY poll forces us to face the erroneous presumptions of our spelling.

lol

seandalai and I had actually tossed around the idea of creating a pre-list for noms including a bunch of things that seemed commonplace on lists from other publications, but eventually just decided to let things unfold as they may. If this will be seen as a scandal, I'll make Channel Orange one of my official nominations, which puts me now at 12/15 for albums.

I second the booing over Ocean shenanigans. Remember when snubbing the Drake album was seen as a positive ;_;

who is calling themselves Roseanne Barrr?

Relax. I claimed it against my # of noms.

Lex man, you're becoming unbearable on these EOY threads. We get it - you don't like Frank, Kendrick, Solange, etc. You don't have to pull faces and boo every single time they're mentioned because they're going to be mentioned a lot and I can't take another month of this.

who is calling themselves Roseanne Barrr?

Roseanne Barrr are, obviously.

I actually like Channel Orange as a piece. It starts to break down under scrutiny of individual tracks, but if you just hit play and let it go beginning to end, I find it really soothing. I've listened to it almost exclusively that way this year.

wait scratch drank in my cup

ALBUMS

Fatima Al Qadiri - Desert Strike EP
Tenniscoats - All Aboard

(7/15)

"Blue" Gene Tyranny - Detours

Huh, I have this but never realised it wasn't a reissue!

Tenniscoats released two albums this year? Don't they know about vote-splitting?

Green Day are screwed in that case.

Well, that's the kind of stupidity I'd expect from Green Day.

Death Grips - Money Store
Bob Dylan - Tempest

Yeah, two albums from Tenniscoats, and I've only heard the one I nominated, bah.

I've only heard the other one (it's on Spotify if that's any use).

lex there was no way that Channel Orange was not getting nominated anyways

If it's good for nothing else, the EOY poll forces us to face the erroneous presumptions of our spelling.

It's true, a lesson has been learned, and on top of which shame was the dawning horror that if I correct this in my itunes (the emusic files were wrong too!) then my last.fm stats will be ruined. Oh noes!

Right. If something was nominated last year, but didn't appear in last year's top 77, but would still be eligible this year, then it's fair game. In the case of Nadia Oh or Gotye, where it DID appear in last year's top 77, it's ineligible.

ah yes, I remember those heady days when "Paper Planes" squirmed its way into the top 3 of both '07 and '08 polls and the ensuing ILX soul-searching. Poor Gotye got to fall victim to that.

oh if "Paper Planes" did it then "Somebody" should def be eligible!

We have learned from the mistakes of our past.

I want to put "Paper Planes" on my ballot now in protest

I'd like "blessed" so much more if it didn't sound like Kendrick needed a bowl of lozenges to get through it

that voices from the lake track is going to be my #1 probably, so simple but incredibly effective

It's a great album, probably one of the greatest of this year for me. Listening to it reminded me of hearing Music For 18 Musicians for the first time, it felt like a journey. I know that sounds like bollocks!

29/30

Oh cool, I missed that (and, really, wasn't expecting anyone else to even have repped for it).

Had no idea Susanna Hoffs released a record this year.

Also, "Cartoons and Cereal" not making the album proper (and "Compton" being on there) will probably be the very thing that keeps Kendrick outta my own top 10.

14/30

Okay, with nominations closing on January 6, that's about three and a half weeks for nominations. I had originally planned to open voting on Monday the 7th and close it on Friday the 18th (which is two 5-day work weeks and one weekend for voting), but is that enough time for voting? Should the nominations period be short and voting longer? However we split it up, voting needs to end on the 18th. Let us know.

Nominations period might sound long, but a lot of people are going to be busy over the holidays. And people can always think about what they're going to vote for during noms. So I'd keep it as you have it, myself.

i think shorter nom period and longer voting period is prob a good idea. a lot of what people want nominated will get taken care of well before the 6th but it's good to have a decent-sized window for voting imo. xpost

Fight!

agree with some dude here

I only ask because seandalai informed me that he'll be too busy to do any data crunching come February (which won't be a problem, because this has always happened, at least in the post-musically era, the last two weeks of January). Last year, nominations were open for a month and voting lasted two weeks and we got plenty of participation. The year before, we had three weeks of noms and three weeks of voting with only a negligible uptick in ballots. Perhaps I should've opened the thread earlier for nominations, but I'm still thinking 3.5 weeks of noms and then 12 days for voting sounds reasonable. As emily pointed out, a lot of people are going to be busy over the holidays, so the longer nominations period makes more sense.

Anyway, it's still early enough to resplit the timeframe in one way or the other. I just wanted to refresh everyone's memory on how it's gone down the last two years.

Just noticed that LeRooLeRoo nominated Beach House - Myth under albums, but that's the name of the first track, not the name of the album

Oh, hm...I wonder that was an intended vote for the album or for the track.

I just changed it to Bloom, assuming it was an album vote. If this isn't the case, it needs to be added to the tracks spreadsheet when that arrives.

TRACKS

Disclosure - Flow
Hospitality - Monkey

11/30

TRACKS

Clyde Carson - Slow Down

TRACKS

Shamar Forté - Bright Lights

9/15 (still 9/15 because I got one back from a duplicate nomination)

Speaking of which, anyone want to start compiling Spotify playlists?

I just created a collaborative one for tracks, working from this point upward. I can't do the whole thing because I need to go to bed, but if anyone else wants to jump in, then feel free.

http://open.spotify.com/user/mondosalvo/playlist/4EmfUgrRlPAEybUttQHgmw

Okay, I got all the way up to this post with the playlist. Anything above that hasn't been added. Plz halp.

Dev - The Night The Sun Came Up

this is eligible? wiki says it was released in sep '11. (i ask b/c if it IS eligible i'm rearranging all my lists to make room for it, what a surprisingly awesome album.)

that voices from the lake track is going to be my #1 probably, so simple but incredibly effective

i <3 that album but i don't know if isolating any track from it would make sense to me

Scott Walker - Epizootics!

thanks, can't believe i forgot to nom this.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Night_the_Sun_Came_Up#Release_history

spotify tracks playlist should be current now

Re: shortening the noms window, I will def be using the period from Dec 26th to Jan 3rd to catch up on all the 2012 music I missed. So please don't bring the shutters down before 3rd. The length of the voting window is not an issue for me, so long as it covers at least one weekend.

ALBUMS

Deep Time - Deep Time

Just noticed this from Tuomas's nominations:

Laurie Spiegel - The Expanding Universe (this is technically a reissue from the 1970s, but 50% of it is material that's never been released before, so I think it should qualify)

This is still technically a reissue. As cool as it is (and it's COOL), I think it falls outside the just about the only rule I've set regarding eligibility.

Okay, but can we still nominate some of the never-released-before tracks from it for the tracks poll?

Albums

Can - The Lost Tapes

this is eligible, right?

Previously unheard Spiegel tracks are okay.

The Lost Tapes is eligible.

Lex, The Night The Sun Came Up got a U.S. release this year, with a slightly different (and worse) track list, but I'm going to vote for it anyway.

Since "Take Her From You" is my favorite track, they naturally enough left it off the American version, which they also made worse by adding the non-fabulous Fabolous to "Kiss My Lips," deleting "Bass Down Low" altogether, and adding a mediocre Timbaland collabo and a mediocre Enrique Iglesias collabo. But according to Wikip "Take Her From You" is a promo single this year, and it had a video late last year. If there's a Pazz & Jop this year it's on my singles ballot. So's "In My Trunk," for which there was a video this year which makes it eligible even though Dev makes videos more often than I make blogposts.

(I wouldn't worry too much about "eligibility." If people think something is too old, they won't vote for it.)

By the way, I've never been able to parse the lyrics to "Take Her From You," since the identity of the "you" keeps shifting.

This Clyde Carson track "Slow Down" is fantastic, and I'd never heard it before starting the spotify list.

Thanks to the couple other people who've been helping fill it up.

Why did it take me all year long to realize that "Disparate Youth" is a close cousin of "Making Plans for Nigel"? Heard the song at least 40 or 50 times and I've just now realized that.

Actually, there's no albums spreadsheet yet. Sorry for posting.

Poor confused seandalai - there is an albums spreadsheet (it is in the original post), but there is no tracks spreadsheet yet.

Albums spreadsheet, yes. Tracks spreadsheet, no.

aaaargh what am I doing here? Help me!

A few more tracks I'd like to add -- I don't know how many I have, but I'm pretty sure I'm not over the limit yet

Josephine Foster - Geyser
Alexander Tucker - Mullioned View
Swans - Mother of the World

sorry i extra-added the other songs to the spotify list! i didn't realize they were already on there. did they disappear automatically or did someone delete them? it doesn't matter, i was just wondering how it works.

Oh, that was me. I knew they were already on there because I'd added them myself last night, but that's not always the case. Eagle-eyed ilxors should keep an eye out for doubles.

Most of my album choices have already been nommed so I may end up using the rest of my album noms on tracks later.

Glad to see the Big Bang & G-Dragon nominations. They had a great year.

:D

Here's the albums nomination playlist (not complete yet):

http://open.spotify.com/user/rudipherousoxide/playlist/2lotqpIvQSl3vL7Lt5KJ1A

Thanks!

Uh. . .why is the track sequencing backwards on everything on my playlist. I just noticed this. Great.

Don't thank me yet.

Any idea how I can copy a whole album and keep the tracks in order? Is there some sort of preferences setting I need to change?

track sequencing seems okay to me? at least on the albums i know

did you hit an errant re-ordering tab up top maybe?

Better start reminding myself of what stuff I've liked this year, then!

You probably have it sorted by "Added".

That's it, because I temporarily sorted them by artist to check something and I wanted to reset them. What's the best way to correct that (for my view anyway)? Sort by album?

If you unsort - click the "Added" tab until the arrow disappears - it should be ok.

Thanks, that did it. I just read that somewhere else too, but I still thought that if I unsorted it that way it would screw up the order of the playlist somehow.

I am tempted to short my album list

are we allowed to do that this year?

Yes, that's allowed. I was too clever by half in laying out the nominating rules. Really, you can vote for as many tracks and as few albums (and vice versa) within the 30 as you wish, but with 30 noms instead of 25 now it's easier to split in half (15/15).

ok good, i didn't realize there was a change in total #

Albums playlist is up to date now. There were a few cases where it wasn't clear which edition of an album to choose, so I tended to go for the most vanilla. If some other edition (available on Spotify) is wanted by the person who nominated it, let me know.

Was this meant to be a track nomination?

that blawan tune djp posted is incredible, like peak time green velvet as facetious as that sounds. and mainly what i mean by that is the groove carries the potentially corny sample on high. it's great.

shocked Turn on the Lights hadn't been nominated yet tbh, figured that'd be one of the first ones in here

I would have nominated it but I'm kind of holding off. I'm just surprised a certain K**** W*** song hasn't been nommed yet.

i hate koala wish

dont like nominating as otherwise wont vote for other peoples nominations but not really feeling anything nominated yet

If you nominate stuff and campaign for it and it goes on the Spotify playlist, maybe other people will vote for it too!

is anyone voting for dan deacons weird mash up thing?

or nominating, i mean

gonna motion that The Block Brochure: Welcome to the Soil 1/2/3 all be considered one nomination, they were available as one set and iirc we put both E-40 albums in last year's poll in as one entry.

That one's been on my to-buy list for a while

Cool, I just removed the "1" and any vote for it will be a vote for the whole release.

Way to split the Taylor vote

yeah

everybody just vote for 'i knew you were trouble'

shouldn't be an issue tbh

I'm sure we go over this every year, but I can never remember the rules: Is Bonnie Prince Billy's new version of "I See a Darkness" eligible?

'i see a darkness' is only eligible in odd-numbered years

I've already drawn up a potential list of 30 or so albums to vote for based on the nominations so far!

I liked "triple threat" ok!

the idea of voting for (or even nominating) multiple songs from the same album instead of just, like, voting for the album is so weird to me

was wondering the same thing about Miguel's Art Dealer Chic EPs, which were not released as one set.

For the purposes of our poll, I'm going to consider Art Dealer Chic as a single release.

Hugh Cornwell - Totem And Taboo

Will think of some more, as well as tracks...

I'd also like to thank whoever it was that put the Daily Bread album on the nominations list, thus leading me to check it out last night... I fucking love it!

Yeah, that was a late-in-the-year discovery of mine, but I fell in love with it immediately.

ALBUMS

Among Wolves - This Is A Wave Goodbye

12/15

Haha dbs you took care of about six things I was intending to nominate.

Meridian Brothers - Guaracha U.F.O (No Estamos Solos...)

La Lech posted this on my wall a bit ago, I really like it.

Death to indie cumbia.

For a second, I thought that was a lex post.

Haha.

x-post

Actually La Lechera probably knows more than me about cumbia, but I'm not into this Meridian Brothers stuff. There's so much trippy cumbia that is less calculated.

can u point me in the direction of 'less calculated' trippy cumbia then, rudipherous?

Yes, please do. (No snark intended.)

Yeah, stop hatin' and start nommin' ;)
(Just so no one gets the wrong idea, I don't know all that much about nu-cumbia, have traditionally preferred the old fashioned sounding stuff but I knew emil.y would like that track)

For the record though, aside from the sloppy cumbia Iron Man, I don't see what's not to like about Ondatrópica -- it's recorded so well, and sounds so *right* for that costeño Colombian sound that I feel like dismissals based on Iron Man cover are pretty kneejerk. I'm not in love with the Ana Tijoux track either, but there is a lot to love on that album!

Ja, seeing as 'funny noises' is basically my #1 consideration for what I like in music, LL was pretty much spot on in recommending it to me.

TRACKS

Neneh Cherry and the Thing - Dream Baby Dream
Emeralds - Adrenochrome
Mano Le Tough - She Sighed
Flights of Fancy - Tempo of the Night

24/30

Basically I'm just bullshitting and don't know enough about cumbia to make lots of recommendations. Most cumbia that is at least a little electric tends to sound trippy to me. The cumbia villera of people like Yerba Brava often sounds that way to me. And older example would be something like Jaime Llano Gonzalez's "Cumbia en Azul," of an obscure compilation called The Rough Guide to Cumbia. (The copies of this song on youtube are all slowed down in an exaggerated way.)

I prefer cumbia from Lucho Gatica through the 60s and 70s and then some later stuff mostly by Colombian bands; then cumbia villera and tribal guarachero if we're counting that. Like I love most of the cumbia I find on 70s compilations of songs that were popular in Colombia. I think La Lechera has more appreciation for more roots cumbia than I do, and likes some more recent indie sorts of projects.

As far as more recent self-consciously indie cumbia, I like some Grupo Fantasma (esp. the Sonidos Gold album).

Tracks

The Chromatics - Into the Black

Okay, I've linked to this before, but I love this cumbia villera mix, which I've linked to before:

http://youtu.be/QDu68xx_pp0

(If I understood Spanish I gather maybe I would be put off by some of the lyrics.)

Cool, thanks R.

Here's a Grupo Fantasma track I like: http://youtu.be/N0QZ3fo1XmQ

yeah thanks Rudipheros, wasnt being snarky either. ive heard some great cumbia stuff while in mexico but had no idea of where to look for the more psychedelic sounding stuff

I prefer cumbia from Lucho Gatica through

Er, Lucho Bermudez.

he rules! we can agree on that.

Yay, we agree. Also, I think I made your taste in cumbia sound narrower than it is. If anything I envy the fact that you like the really early recordings as much as you do. This is so slow and so perfect that to me something like this is kind of trippy even minus lots of effects and so forth:

http://youtu.be/Qg8HbbsqFYo

Okay I guess we should really take this to the cumbia thread if we want to continue, but I've probably got nothing to add.

Incidentally, La Lechera, if you didn't figure it out from the hint I put on the Rangda thread, I'm the one who sent that Zazen Boys recommendation. I didn't realize it would come out anonymous. I am probably stretching a bit comparing them to Rangda, but I do think you might like them, especially their latest album, Stories.

Oh! Ok, glad that's cleared up -- I was confused. It's on spotify so I'll give it a chance. They do have a song called "Potato Salad" so whether I'll like it is anyone's guess ;)

Ha, wow, this Sleaford Mods album emil.y nommed. Halway through the first track I was pretty sure I wouldn't make it beyond track 3 cos of this dude's voice...I've now listened to the entire album 6 times and find myself transfixed by him. Will probably make my ballot if I don't overdose on it over the next couple of weeks.

Plus points for using the term 'jog on' in a song too.

Tracks:

1. Jessie Ware - Taking on Water
2. Bridgit Mendler - Ready or Not

There's a tracks spreadsheet here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AumbddEHET5xdDlQQm5TOVNIcWhQSE15Z0lpeDNhWVE

Please have a look and check there's nothing missing.

Still unsure what the best way to treat remixes is. Here's one idea:

- Once a track has been nominated, anyone can nominate any remix (or the original version) of that track without affecting their nominations cap.
- When votes are being tallied, all remix votes are counted towards the original but we record how many points each version got and we give this breakdown during the rollout.
- Each voter can only vote for a single version of any given track.

Thoughts?

Can a mod link to the tracks spreadsheet up top? Thanks!

my Luke Bryan, "Drunk on You" nom seems to be missing

ace jam fwiw

Got it.

Are we allowing Donnie and Joe Emerson? I guess they could fall under the "nobody heard them first time round" dispensation.

I never considered them this year after struggling with this issue re: Willie Wright last year. I wouldn't begrudge anyone voting for the record, but for me, a reissue of previously released material is still a reissue no matter how obscure the original release.

Albums:

Romare - Meditations On Afrocentrism EP
Sand Circles - Motor City

Tussle - Tempest
Air - Le Voyage Dans La Lune
Unsane - Wreck
Demdike Stare - Elemental (unless this is counted as last year...

(11/30)

xp Yeah, crypto is right. It's still a reissue and not a new creation (like a Soundway or Soul Jazz comp would be).

"year of impact" though?

Is there any 2012 material on Elemental? Last year we allowed Tryptych.

It seemed like half was released in December 2011 and the other half released in January 2012 (although I could be misremebering). Boomkat has the 2-CD edition as February 2012.

Should be fine then.

Lex, can you talk about that "Triumphant" mix? What's it like?

90s house

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7K_TpeP2LE

i listened to it a ton during the olympics

ALL YOU NEED
IS TO REMAIN UNWAVERING

basically the single most joyous song of the year

(the original was whatever but just listen to the moment the acid synth comes in here ahhhhhh)

i'm relistening now and it's just elbowed everything in my top 10 aside

SO MANY ENDORPHINS

Johnny, it turns out that Delilah's "Love You So" was released on December 18th, last year, if you want to make a call/cull in that.

ALBUMS:

Cloud Nothings-Attack on Memory
Ty Segall-Slaughterhouse
Purity Ring-Shrines

TRACKS:

The Men-Open Your Heart
The Men-Candy
Night Moves-Country Queen
Polica-Lay Your Cards Out
Lower Dens-Brains
Cloud Nothings-Stay Useless
Kwes-Igoyh
Absolutely Free-UFO

yeah i didn't know so many people considered "love you so" a 2012 thing, it was around from late november all thru december of last year (and that's when i listened to it most)

meanwhile no one is repping for "inside my love" or even "breathe"

maybe i should nom things soon

It was a single last year, but on her album in 2012. It'll count if you want it to.

Yes, I'd like to vote for it anyway. Pretty sure I didn't hear it until this year. I forgot about it and still haven't checked out the album itself.

it's a good album!

Aren't the rules if it didn't make a previous list, it's eligible?

It probably just means you have excellent taste and that I should probably pay very close attention to all the tracks/albums you nominate that I'm not already aware of.
