"neglekted" was def one of the most difficult songs to cut from my ballot

"Verti-Marte" is a cool jam thing but i wish it had been developed into a proper song because there's a great idea there

ufo, Tuesday, 15 June 2021 17:13 (three years ago) link

cheers to the other voter for these

mookieproof, Tuesday, 15 June 2021 17:13 (three years ago) link

wow, two people voted for "verti-marte," that rules

Voted for this one as a cover but not in the main songs list

AP Chemirocha (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 15 June 2021 17:15 (three years ago) link

songs where dulli looks jealously/longingly on someone else are some of my favorites and "it kills" is no exception

i love the bridge(?) of "it kills," when van hunt takes over/"you don't know my name!"

ufo, Tuesday, 15 June 2021 17:35 (three years ago) link

i love "esta noche", the jazzy build at the end is great & the electric piano that just becomes part of the gigantic wall of soud

rock steady baby

mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 15 June 2021 17:48 (three years ago) link

such a gorgeous track, where everything really comes together on that album

everything's gonna be alright

ufo, Tuesday, 15 June 2021 17:50 (three years ago) link

really where "it's his sade album" makes the most sense

ufo, Tuesday, 15 June 2021 17:50 (three years ago) link

oh lol i mistook it for "the twilite kid" but yeah "twilight" is amazing

mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 15 June 2021 17:53 (three years ago) link

I ended up voting The Twilite Kid higher than Twilight but I might have changed my mind on that in the last week since I sent in my ballot. Beautiful song.

41. The Afghan Whigs - Brother Woodrow/Closing Prayer
76 points, 3 votes
from Gentlemen

last one for today

ufo, Tuesday, 15 June 2021 17:56 (three years ago) link

Ah Brother Woodrow/Closing Prayer was my last cut, nice to see it here.

Will (kruezer2), Tuesday, 15 June 2021 17:58 (three years ago) link

always seemed weird to me that gentlemen closes with a cover and an instrumental, but it's a gorgeous piece of music

intern at pelican brief consulting (Simon H.), Tuesday, 15 June 2021 18:01 (three years ago) link

hey sorry if someone else was gonna do it but i wanted to follow along live as the results came out so i created a playlist for the rollout:

ufo are you staying up all night in the dark to match times with us?

mookieproof, Tuesday, 15 June 2021 18:42 (three years ago) link

it really was just for nintendo's e3 show, being able to roll out some results at a time when the board is actually awake was just a bonus

ufo, Tuesday, 15 June 2021 20:09 (three years ago) link

aww

mookieproof, Tuesday, 15 June 2021 20:16 (three years ago) link

my issue with 1965 is that 'sweet son of a bitch', 'citi soleil' and 'john the baptist' are over-the-top bad to the point that i'm not willing to give 'the slide song' or 'neglekted' the benefit of the doubt. i mean, we get it: sex!

the horns are great tho

mookieproof, Wednesday, 16 June 2021 04:15 (three years ago) link

whaat "john the baptist" is fantastic

"sweet son of a bitch" is definitely terrible but it's a tiny interlude that's the most skippable thing in the world

ufo, Wednesday, 16 June 2021 06:37 (three years ago) link

I hate to cross mookie, but I like both “John the Baptist” and “Citi Soleil,” and may have even voted for them as part of my selections from 1965, although the latter is in the same tradition of misspellings as David Johansen’s “Swaheto Woman.”

time for 40-26...

i remember listening to this for the first time and thinking wahhhh this doesn't sound like the afghan whigs but it sounds rad???? still true

mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Wednesday, 16 June 2021 20:17 (three years ago) link

yeah it was a strange comeback single, not really being representative of the rest of the album, not the classic whigs sound, not quite its most accessible moment

but it's a solid song

ufo, Wednesday, 16 June 2021 20:19 (three years ago) link

re: discussion upthread, "john the baptist" is a classic, come on

love this track

mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Wednesday, 16 June 2021 20:28 (three years ago) link

funnily enough, however, nothing from my ballot has showed up yet

mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Wednesday, 16 June 2021 20:28 (three years ago) link

the transition from country-tinged ballad to the blown out chorus with synth strings & electric piano is great, blackberry belle has such a cool sound overall
