it's a great headphone track btw; the "shimmer" constantly moves left to right

"additional production by jai paul" lol yo what's up dude!

I need to engage with the lyrics of the Soccer Mommy track, clearly, but the foundations made me think of being bored by it on Jools Holland.
I like Shimmer, but I rekkun it's benefitted from being top of the noms playlist.

Indeed.

this also sounds like an indie song with listless vocals

holy shit, i was trying to figure out what the backing track reminded me of, and turns out it's "jasmine" with some actual production value

getting close to the end of the time I have allocated to do this so let's knock out the last three a bit faster and then it's free-for-all discussion till tomorrow

This may be my least favourite so far (Palladino).

Toni!

lol i love how the voting/campaigning threads are always hugs-all-around 'wow that's awesome even tho i prob won't vote for it!' and then when the actual countdown starts everyone hates everything
― dyl, Monday, 28 January 2019 18:52 (five years ago) link
Toni has been quietly turning out some of the best material of her career over the last few years. Glad to see this place (I voted for it).

thank fuck this placed, so sick of mainstream r&b getting passed up on these polls
― dyl, Monday, 28 January 2019 18:53 (five years ago) link
toni too low
― jolene club remix (BradNelson), Monday, 28 January 2019 18:53 (five years ago) link

It is funny to me how much dragging is going on here... I would think this would be the thread for basically celebrating these tracks!
― i stan corrected (morrisp), Monday, 28 January 2019 18:56 (five years ago) link
"long as i live" landed in the middle of my ballot, which was also too low, wtf me
― jolene club remix (BradNelson), Monday, 28 January 2019 18:56 (five years ago) link
re: this Toni song. I love that good r&b today is still powered by the same slow galloping beat Al Green was riding in 1972.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 28 January 2019 18:57 (five years ago) link
just realized the video for this song fits the recent ilm thread about music videos with industrial fans
― dyl, Monday, 28 January 2019 18:59 (five years ago) link
lol morrisp: talking nonstop shit in these threads is a yearly tradition! We're still due for at least one huge temper tantrum and angry argument.
I liked Sex and Cigarettes well enough but "Long As I Live" doesn't quite do it for me.

here's the song that's "more metal than WK;" please do not have a huge temper tantrum and angry argument with me about how it's NOT METAL... i'm just saying it's more metal than WK!

The other night - while high - I compared “Julia” to taking a shower but instead of water, it's guitars. God, it’s the best song ever made. - BradNelson
Best song of the year, although I have no idea what any of it means. - ArchCarrier
wrt DJ Koze: doesn't the sad 10-minute techno track always somewhere between #11 and #17? What's it doing all the way out here?
― seandalai, Monday, 28 January 2019 19:01 (five years ago) link
huh, the full album didn't connect with me but this single grew on me in a huge way
― dyl, Monday, 28 January 2019 19:02 (five years ago) link
dj koze track isn't sad enough and is actually fairly boring. i would know b/c those #11-17 sad techno tracks are always catnip to me

aw I'm so sure this song will not sound as good to me as Brad's description that I' not sure I should listen

HOLY SHIT
― jolene club remix (BradNelson), Monday, 28 January 2019 19:03 (five years ago) link
the temper tantrums and explosive arguments that precipitate from these polls are pretty excellent. i seem to remember some wonderful ones centered around black eyed peas, "empire state of mind", that one song by girls, perhaps some others i'm forgetting
― dyl, Monday, 28 January 2019 19:04 (five years ago) link
ok y'all i'm sorry, this song/album is not for everyone, but i'm so thrilled

This is good guitars.
― jmm, Monday, 28 January 2019 19:05 (five years ago) link
i didn't even vote for it!
― jolene club remix (BradNelson), Monday, 28 January 2019 19:05 (five years ago) link
Long AS I Live was the last song I cut and as I submitted my ballot, I had instant regret. Glad it still made the list. Probably my favourite song of hers apart from You're Makin' Me High.
Really happy to see Shimmer and Sticky make the list. Those were two songs I didn't know that I fell in love with on the Spotify playlist. My first two votes to appear!
― kitchen person, Monday, 28 January 2019 19:05 (five years ago) link
Good song.
― pomenitul, Monday, 28 January 2019 19:05 (five years ago) link
Oh god, this Toni Braxton song is massive! Why didn't I listen to it before voting, surely it would've been in my ballot... By far the best tune in this poll so far!
― Tuomas, Monday, 28 January 2019 19:06 (five years ago) link
xps i would go so far as to suggest that part of the reason the yearly poll is such a beloved fixture of ILM is BECAUSE it sets off so much free floating emotion. "How dare Drake show his face in here" is a feature, not a bug.
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Monday, 28 January 2019 19:06 (five years ago) link
#62, on the other hand, is horrible. Is grunge back for good? I hope not.
― Tuomas, Monday, 28 January 2019 19:08 (five years ago) link
Toni Braxton is the sort of thing I just don't understand at all. There's nothing there for me. You guys do you, I guess.
― emil.y, Monday, 28 January 2019 19:08 (five years ago) link
I was about to faintly praise the Fabiana Pallardino song for being less enervating and predictable than this Shambala stuff usually is, even if it did sound like it was recorded in a wet cardboard box, but then I heard the Toni Braxton song and that made it sound so timid in comparison. Best song yet by a mile.
