an anyone doing a playlist of these ?

(•̪●) (carne asada), Monday, 24 June 2019 13:10 (five years ago)

On it: ILM☀️Songs of the Summer 2019.

(work in progress, and I’m sorry, carne asada, but “Old Town Road” is on your playlist twice!)

breastcrawl, Monday, 24 June 2019 16:38 (five years ago)

Done and dusted, so let’s have lots more of everybody’s summer jams!

(currently enjoying Genius of Time’s “Peace Bird” off that playlist)

breastcrawl, Monday, 24 June 2019 17:02 (five years ago)

that whole ep is worthwhile

Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Monday, 24 June 2019 17:10 (five years ago)

this album is also great summer fare btw

The title track sounds unfathomably summery to me right now, but you get to choose the track for the playlist - which one will it be?

breastcrawl, Monday, 24 June 2019 17:25 (five years ago)

(my bad, that is one track - thought you meant you posted the whole album)

breastcrawl, Monday, 24 June 2019 17:43 (five years ago)

naw, but whole album is worth exploring!

I probably could post Pop Smoke also cuz I'm sure a lot of ilxors will like it w/ its britishes bassline but personally i think the song is just ok & apt to be overrated for pandering to that

ILX’s bad boy (D-40), Wednesday, 17 July 2019 23:48 (five years ago)

This song technically came out last year but the remix has 220 mil streams on YouTube in the past 5 months & will be on my personal list

&

Prince Glo & Jackboi Boomain - Glockies

ILX’s bad boy (D-40), Thursday, 18 July 2019 06:45 (five years ago)

I also know this isn't a cool artist to be into but I think "Fast" is quite a good song:

I am unreasonably excited for his new album

rob, Thursday, 18 July 2019 17:05 (five years ago)

He also has a (solo!) track on the Beyoncé/Lion King album that’s coming out tomorrow.

breastcrawl, Thursday, 18 July 2019 17:30 (five years ago)

oh and rob, I added Jamila’s “MILES” to the playlist.

breastcrawl, Thursday, 18 July 2019 17:36 (five years ago)

ha nice, I do like acknowledging that summer can also mean hot/humid/pissed off

There's a lot of potential in that Lion King tracklist, but I listened to most of "Spirit" this morning and uh, it sucks, no? I never like Beyonce in that mode though

rob, Thursday, 18 July 2019 17:42 (five years ago)

miles is good but my jamila song of the summer is basquiat
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XezEKGO7Tys

Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Thursday, 18 July 2019 18:09 (five years ago)

“Spirit” is from the movie soundtrack itself and doubles on the *other* album, the one that she has “curated”, so it will hopefully be an outlier there.

breastcrawl, Thursday, 18 July 2019 18:30 (five years ago)

xp of course

breastcrawl, Thursday, 18 July 2019 18:32 (five years ago)

I love Ariana, and I wish I could say deserved winner, but in what climate / timezone / hemisphere is “Boyfriend” the Song of Summer?

(added it to the playlist of course)

breastcrawl, Tuesday, 27 August 2019 06:51 (five years ago)

Those noms are garbage.

I love Ariana, and I wish I could say deserved winner, but in what climate / timezone / hemisphere is “Boyfriend” the Song of Summer?

It was a fairly big hit in a lot of countries, and has a fresh, summery vibe. Doesn’t seem like a crazy choice!

Stub yr toe on the yacht rock (morrisp), Saturday, 31 August 2019 17:10 (five years ago)

Don’t get me wrong, it’s nice and it totally fits on this thread, but it’s not even a big hit by Ariana’s standards, let alone the kind of dominant song that defines a summer for lots of people, which is the point of this type of award afaict.

breastcrawl, Saturday, 31 August 2019 18:03 (five years ago)

Turns out it’s a social media award, so it really reflects online mobilization.
