ILM's 2023 End of Year Tracks & Albums Poll / NOMINATIONS THREAD

So who listened to music this year?

For EOY 2023 moka and I will be counting, tallying, and rolling out. We could do with a volunteer to help with Spotify playlists and maybe a bit of rollout duty - applications on the back of a postcard or via ilxmail to me please.

The nominations process (and this blurb) is unchanged:

- Nominations are open until midnight PST on Monday January 1st.

- Everyone gets a max of 30 nominations, split as you see fit across tracks and albums. You can nominate 15 albums and 15 tracks, or 29 albums and 1 track, or 0 albums and 30 tracks - you get the idea.

- Please make sure it's obvious which nominations are tracks and which are albums.

- Always use the order "Artist - Track"/"Artist - Album", never put the artist second. It's hard enough to filter out duplicates as it is.

- Ctrl+F through the thread before nominating, or check the spreadsheets:

Let's go!

Wheeeeeeeeee! I don't do spotify and I might be busy a fair amount during the rollout period, so can't really offer help on those fronts, but I would be interested in helping out next year, probably. I'll try to be around during rollouts as much as I can in case you need any post editing mod duty.

(16/40)

JKH: electric violin, electric guitar, drum kit: fluid, fluent, digging in.
SA: pedal steel & combo: Chilean folk melodies x improv, with vocals on this one track, the best, I think.
AS: come for more from jazz pedal steelist xpost Dave Easley and drummer Jay Bellerose, stay for whole crew on "Parker's Mood," where everybody has the blues, especially that violin, and troubled ballad "Bird of Paradise." (For the second half Flight, Sadkin employs different line-up, more conventional-looking, but I didn't listen to much of that.)

Oops missed it, didn’t turn up on search. Added!

@monotony: what your spotify username? I’m really loving your noms. Will definitely vote for some of them.

I think I’ll run out of voting spots at this rate I’ve found at least 20 tracks in random driving these past two days.

Everyone: In the voting thread / please campaign for your favorite tracks and specially albums. There’s no way I’ll have enough time to go thry the album noms in the following weeks so I’m focusing on the tracks noms, but I want to fill half of my tracks/albums ballots with other people’s noms this year.

TRACKS

75 Dollar Bill---Whiskey With Hail

When my guitar part finally breaks form it’s just to signal the end. As for the long track that takes up the whole first side of this tape, it was named in homage to Najeeb, a young Tunisian man with Down Syndrome I’d met a few years earlier while traveling in Kairouan, Islam’s 4th holiest city. Najeeb would hang out at the cafe all day and the other guys would buy him sodas while he’d crack them up with fantastical and occasionally lewd bits about physical love, flying airplanes and tourists. Never missing an opportunity for a send up of the local religious piety, he’d attempt to order a drink you couldn’t get at this cafe, or anywhere as far as I know, وسكي بالحبرورش or “Whiskey with Hail." - CC
