As for Billie Eilish, I love the album but Everything I Wanted is my favourite song she's done. It really hit me hard in the last few weeks.

if there's only one track to hear from Underworld's Drift, it's their 47-minute epic collaboration with the Necks, "Appleshine Continuum"

I haven't started on my albums ballot yet, and last night I had an actual nightmare that I hadn't nominated 'Ancestor Boy' by Lafawndah. I think that means I should at least provide a link for people to listen to it: https://lafawndah.bandcamp.com/album/ancestor-boy

Always enjoy Eartheater, but 'Solid Liquid Gas' (final track on her album Trinity) is probably my favourite thing she's done since Guardian Alien. Headrush trance synths meet chest-rattling bass, it's love and desire as this volatile flux state - a delirious loss of control, a surrender to the elements. RIYL Glasser, Gang Gang Dance

Damn, albums ballot is ROUGH GOING this year. Some things will be sacrificed

Anyway, voted!

If it only took you six minutes to sacrifice said things it can't have been that bad.

― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Saturday, 18 January 2020 15:34 (four years ago) link
bah indeed!The reason no one has been stanning for Burna Boy’s African Giant album is that everyone already knows it’s the best album of the year, right?Intense, effortless, hooks for days. Also, “Anybody” and “Killin Dem” are two of the year’s best tracks.

Come poll time, ILM collectively forgot Weird Al's most recent album and its singles, somehow, though we all had fun with them.

^that’s their ‘Phil Spector’s Christmas Album’ for sure, and I’d love it if everyone voted for it. But I voted for “Namadempa”, which is their “River Deep Mountain High”

Voted. Ruthless shortlisting gave me exactly 25 albums and tracks each on the first which was pleasing. Not had time to listen to the (new to me) noms at all though.

This isn’t really my scene bc of how little new music I listen to any given year but here are my albums of 2019, maybe they were nominated idk, I just want to sharehttp://jklol.net/albums-2019.html
― Swilling Ambergris, Esq. (silby), Monday, 20 January 2020 05:57 (four years ago) link
a little late with the stumping but:
Tapan - Ghana - tribal acid from the deepest mystical space of 2019, atmosphere so thick i wanna bite into it
Identified Patient - Geen Syndroom - catchy industrial sludge that inspires a sleazy dancefloor
Kontravoid - Too Deep - fun gothy EBM with romantic new wave heart
and an album:
RAP - Export - deserves its mixtape designation not just because the tracks are mixed, but the way its strong emotional core makes what could otherwise be showy or forced shifts in genre totally natural and necessary. its rhythmic/textural/melodic sensibility collapses dub, industrial, post-punk, techno, folk, synth-pop into something really affecting that avoids pastiche

i didn't actually listen to 25 new albums this year but am catching up on stuff and will submit something at the wire

― kraudive, Monday, 20 January 2020 23:22 (four years ago) link
Yeah, I was off my game in 2019. I mainly voted for things I already knew and liked well enough. I figure there will be more surprises than usual for me in the results.
