if you're anything like me you were confusing them with calexico

3 mins in this death grips reminds me a bit of hecq, probably for no reason other than to let everyone know i've heard of hecq
idk these days i only get attached to music where the melodies practically beat me round the head. most of my year was spent obsessively listening to every song max martin's ever been involved with

Dawn of Midi was my #1 album. It's the 9-movement piece for free jazz trio Steve Reich never wrote, the sound of restraint on the perpetual verge of explosion.
Here's the top 20 from my list (I added 5 to pad things out).

albums with lots of votes but only in middle of ballots do tend to beat out a few niche things with lots of enthusiasm but what can you do? Larger rollout wouldn't make that much of a difference now unlike earlier years. It's pretty hard to get fans of more niche stuff to vote as either they dislike polls or dont think it's worth voting. I suppose rolling threads make it hard for stuff to crossover unless big publications pick up on it (see deafheaven)
― ۩, Friday, 31 January 2014 00:30 (ten years ago) link
unless we take a cue from politicians and unite our niche votes -- like what do you all call it over there, a coalition government?

I like yr coalition idea sarahell
I could have been more active on the campaigning thread but basically I don't have enough time
maybe next year
― sleeve, Friday, 31 January 2014 00:33 (ten years ago) link
the poll clearly represents what the majority of ilxors who vote are listening to and that's all polls can do. It also leads to a few people checking out albums lower down which is great.

I was going to say I only didn't vote for it because I hadn't heard it, but actually I don't like the whole thing, and I'd probably have gone the route of just voting for 'Flawless' in the tracks poll. So yeah, I'll sort out the dying in three months thing.

sarahell in practice it might work like a coalition, so long as the music's good enough, course

I think I missed the fact that Fuzz was nominated. The stuff I've heard from that album has been pretty cool.
― ^ enlightening post (sarahell), Friday, 31 January 2014 00:44 (ten years ago) link
That Flaming Lips album was really underrated btw, it's the best, weirdest, darkest thing they've done in years.
― Immediate Follower (NA), Friday, 31 January 2014 00:46 (ten years ago) link
Fuzz album is so good, just straight up rock music with killer riffs.
I'm always happy with the things that I get turned on to in these polls even if the music I hold near & dear comes in at #292.
didn't mean to sound like I was complaining, and yeah it's a lot of voters so that's reflected.
I like the Fuzz album, have not heard Flaming Lips but I was cool w/Embryonic so I should check it out
