THE 2011 ILM SUPER-MEGA YEAR-END ALBUMS 'N' TRACKS POLL™ is open for nominations!

It's time once again for the annual fun fest that is our EOY music poll. Since there's a good probability we'll be shifting over from the sandbox back to real ILM at some point in either the nominations or voting process, we're starting nominations a few days earlier than we usually do. J0rdan, seandalai and I have discussed it and we're keeping things exactly the same as last year, since last year's poll was such a success. Problem is, I'm having trouble accessing how we did last year's poll because real ILM is down. SO, from the best of my recollection, I think last year's nomination process worked like this:

You can nominate 25 (or fewer) items total. If you nominate 3 albums, you still have room to nominate 22 tracks. If you choose not to use all 25 of your nominations, you can (at your discretion) nominate things by proxy for other people who didn't have enough room under the cap to nominate those things. This happens every year anyway, so I figured I'd go ahead and address it up top.

Nominations will wrap on Thursday, January 5th at 7pm EST (that's midnight for Britishes and 4pm for the US West Coast). Voting will begin the following day and be open for the next two weeks. This nominations period is the time to familiarize yourself with and be introduced to new music, as it lasts a whole month. The voting period is all business. Get in, get out and then forget what all you voted for (we all do).

On your mark, get set... GO

Has musically abdicated for good?

I haven't heard from her at all since I asked her about doing it last year. I haven't even seen her around since well before then. So...I guess so?

Also, just remembered: plz don't embed youtubes in this thread. Hyperlinks are fine, but embeds will bog it down for some people.

ALBUMS
Barbara Panther - Barbara Panther
Eevil Stö - S.O.D. (Stöö of Destruction)
Meshell Ndegeocello - Weather
Freeman - 4
Kami-Sakunobe House Explosion – Routes Not Roots*
Asa Masa - Jou Jou

TRACKS
Barbara Panther - Dizzy
Barbara Panther - Moonlightpeople
Eevil Stö - Lommo Sanoo Stöö Sanoo (feat. Lommo)
Kami-Sakunobe House Explosion – B2B*
Risqué - Burn It Up (Mr. DJ) [Ben Liebrand Edit]**
Asa Masa - Mikä Mikä Kylä

* I'm not sure if the Kami-Sakunobe House Explosion album and its tracks count... Some of the tracks and the album itself were released in Japan in 2006, but it was released outside Japan only in 2011. What's the policy on these? I think it should be included, as most folks didn't have the chance to hear this material until this year.

** This is an old track, but the edit only came out this year on Ben Liebrand's Grand 12-Inches 8 compilation, so I think it should count.

One more thing... please use the following format for all your noms:

TRACKS

Emeli Sandé - Heaven
Dash & Will - Animal
Vendela - Punk Rock Song
Gilbere Forte ft. Maluca - Blackin' Out

ALBUMS

Lady Gaga - Born This Way
Jamie Woon - Mirrorwriting
Parallel Dance Ensemble - Possessions and Obsessions
Lykke Li - Wounded Rhymes

8/25

Yeah, we've always allowed things that received an int'l release in the current year that may have been released earlier in a specific country. Especially if new material is included on the int'l release.

Early request that the singles thread be titled 'Everybody's looking forward to the ILM best tracks of 2012 poll'.

THE 2010 ILM SUPER-MEGA YEAR-END ALBUMS 'N' TRACKS POLL™ - VOTING CLOSED
Message Bookmarked
Bookmark Removed
In a short amount of time, you will be able to vote in the 2010 ILM Albums 'n' Tracks poll. Here is how it will work:

*A ballot will consist of (up to) 25 album votes and (up to) 25 track votes.
*Both categories will be allotted 650 total points each.
*An ordered albums/tracks ballot will count the points down from 50, 48, 46...6, 4, 2.
*An unordered albums/tracks ballot will have 26 points assigned to each vote.
*You MUST copy + paste your votes directly from the final list(s) of nominations, as syntax is of utmost importance.
*We must receive your ballot by midnight EST on Friday, January the 21st. That's 5am on the 22nd in London and 9pm on the 21st in California. If you live outside of that 8-hour umbrella, please consult a global timezone map.

Beginning the 24th, J0rdan will countdown the singles and I'll follow with albums once he finishes. As with the recent 20th century poll, our man behind the curtain is seandalai. Shower him with praise for handling the computation.

The online ballot and master nomination lists will be linked shortly so voting can begin. Thank you for participating!

Yay! thx

Was thinking it would be nice to allow split weighted/unweighted ballots this year - with trax in particular I have ~10 favourites but would quite like to spread points evenly among the other 15.

I think we threw in that option before closing voting last year? Maybe we didn't.

We decided not to include it, I think.

Okay, then that gets changed this year. There will be split weighted/unweighted ballots allowed. :D

yay!

(16/25)

every track on lulu by lou reed and metallica

^ actual nominations btw

Until you list them in the proper format, I can't copy & paste them.

ALBUMS

Maria Rita - Elo
Kimbra - Vows
Various - Pakistan Folk and Pop Instrumentals 1966-76

I don't think we allow compilations of old material, do we? (assuming that's what your last nom is)

Single artist greatest hits comps have traditionally been disallowed, but compilations like that where the end result is really the only place you can find such songs (essentially making it a "new" creation) are fine with me.

I'm sure we've allowed comps before. Or maybe that was just stuff that lay dormant and unreleased at the time, so although it was old it was still the first release.

I'd be sad if I couldn't nominate Bangs & Works Vol.2 as it's one of the newest, most relevant things to come out this year, and no you can't really get hold of the individual tracks without going to Chicago and sifting through thousands of records.

Which reminds me:

ALBUMS
Machinedrum - Room(s)
Kuedo - Severant

18/25

Ok cool.

I guess basically comps will have to be included on a case by case basis. Things like archival various artist comps should always be allowed, because the end result of grouping all those tracks together is a "new" creation. Technically a single artist comp is new as well, but that just doesn't smell right for what we're doing here.

(Unless it's a single artist comp of previously scarce or unreleased material, i.e. Arthur Russell from a few years back)

albums:
andy stott - passed me by/we stay together
bvdub - resistance is beautiful
kurt vile - smoke ring for my halo
moon duo - mazes
omar-s. - high school graffiti
oneohtrix point never - replica
the war on drugs - slave ambient
destroyer - kaputt

(8/25)

moon duo has already been nom'd

I feel a little weird listing compilations, actually, but this whole strand of Pakistani music was unfamiliar to me (not that I know much about Pakistani music) and I assume it's largely unheard in the west. It wouldn't surprise me if most of this music is also nearly forgotten in Pakistan, since a lot of it was riding western popular music trends of the time, obviously.

Albums

Los Campesinos! - Hello Sadness
Corin Tucker Band - 1000 Years
ILX Presents LULU

Before I do my tracks list, what's the rule on something like "Super Bass" again, which was an album track in 2010 but didn't become a hit until 2011?

If it placed last year, it's out; not sure what the rule is otherwise.

Yeah, if it placed in 2010, it's out. But if its presence was more of a 2011 thing (which is definitely the case for "Super Bass"), it's def eligible.

2011 is the year I think I finally lost my way with modern music. Whether it was because I have finally given up on pop music, have lost all faith in mankind having ppl pretend skrillex or kanye don't suck, or just because i made the mistake of getting tolstoy audiobooks for work thinking it would be easier than reading them, I dunno.

i will say it again like i say every year: please consider changing this policy next time around.

We actually talked about that last night and then considered how much you'd hate it, so it stayed in place. :P

I think the reason it exists is so people who lean toward singles can nom more singles and people who lean toward albums can nom more albums. Even a 13/12 split is plenty when you have a hundred other people nominating things.

in a hole is so much better than can't feel my knees

why do you have to be so disagreeable?

http://open.spotify.com/user/sutrarama/playlist/6XPqCUpc4QNEbpubiLr1eA

This is all the tracks on Spotify, although I haven't done the last couple (Z_S down). Anyone can add to it though.

ILX Lulu Vol 1.

good job a hoy hoy!

Wau @ that Spotify list.

Kind of regretting blowing all my nominations at once and now I'm regretting naming things like Toddla T and Wiz Khalifa that I'm probably not going to vote for in the place of, say, that T. Williams/Paul Woolford track that no-one except me is going to vote for anyway.

Also if anyone wants to rep for 'Night Sky' by Gavin Russom that would be lovely.

TRACKS

Frivolous - Red Tide

1/25

^ too good to be buried at the bottom of the playlist imo

Argh, I forgot 'Ostalgia' as well.

if no one's nominated the album by the time i get round to mine i'll assuredly nominate it

Don't even like the album that much or ever want to listen to it all the way through but its best moments are wonderful.

yeah ostalgia and wasting time i quite like too... but i would be tempted to put the album in the lower echelons of my poll.

Things like archival various artist comps should always be allowed, because the end result of grouping all those tracks together is a "new" creation.

Okay, then I'd like to nominate this one:

Various Artists (compiled by Ben Liebrand) - Grand 12-Inches 8

Technically all of the stuff on the comp is old, but several of the 12" mixes on it have never before been available on CD, and it does have four new extended edits by Ben Liebrand that are exclusive to this comp.

It's certainly my most played album of 2011.

Sorry, here's the proper nomination format:

irl fistpump

Sandwell District - Feed-Forward

i thought this was 2010?

Hmm, looks like there was a ltd vinyl version released on 22 December 2010, and then an obviously more freely available digital version was released in 2011 with a different running order. Would argue for it to be kept in.

xp to popppa abt Bill Orcutt: yeah that's probably right. I'm lucky I didn't call him 'Phil' tbh. Would you be willing to change that on the spreadsheet JF? Pretty please?

why do you have to be so disagreeable?

― blah blah blah (є(٥_ ٥)э), Wednesday, 7 December 2011 06:37 (9 hours ago) Permalink

my previous post was in praise of a song on your trax thread!

how come no one told me about this! it's amazing

I told you about it in the pub about a month ago although there's no reason you'd remember that conversation.

Re Mark McGuire, Is it a comp, wasn't aware of that. If so replace with:

Luke Haines - 9 1/2 Psychedelic Meditations on British Wrestling of the Early 1970s and 1980s. (Album)

The McGuire *is* a comp, but if you look at what's on it, it's all stuff that was "from the 2008 CDR blah blah blah - limited to 75 copies". It's stuff that was previously available to only a tiny handful of people and on a shonky format too, so effectively this is its first proper release.

troo

Yes, in keeping with our case by case position on comps, the McGuire is in for sure if that's the case.

Hmm, fair enough...I probably won't vote for it because it's not a "2011 album" for me but I'm fine with letting others decide for themselves.

Ha, knew the threat of Luke Haines would do the trick.

ALBUMS

Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks - Mirror Traffic

It helped me too!

Has anyone added their tracks to the playlist? If not I'll update the those from the thread later.

I added a couple, I'm trying not to confuse the playlist with my spreadsheet. I might miss including some noms.

these are the frustrating weeks for me - itching to nominate but forcing myself to hold off so i get to nominate ~lost gems~ after lovely fellow posters have dealt with my obvious favs

This. But seriously, a day in and 75% of my potential votes in any universe have already been dealt with, from CREEP/Nina Sky, to Dawn Richards, to Machine Drum to Patrick to Los Camp! to LoveLove v HateLove.

So now...even if I wanted to nominate right away, I think I'll have to spend time figuring out what lost gems to pick, since the obvious stuff has been mostly covered.

Also, is furnace mane j0rdan? or Rev? or someone else entirely...

Will do mine in 5 track blocks - none have been nominated by anyone else yet so some will have to miss out

furnace mane is Rev, right?

yes, rev

I haven't been tracking albums, but we're at well over 200 tracks already.

Sorry. Formerly Alex in Montreal, which was due for retirement. Especially since there was an all-lowercase "alex in montreal" who got confused and annoyed when I first joined ILX four years ago or whatever.

oh my actual god this young bleed album

Yeah it's great!

That and (curiously) the Wild Beasts album were my two big ILM-assisted discoveries in the interregnum between ILX and Sandbox.

for a minute then i thought "huh when did lex start liking los campesinos? sandbox dun changed everything"

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>:(

young bleed album is stellar - that and the cousin fik album are the two rap albums i've found recently that have really hit the spot for me

siiiiiiiigh wild beasts tim? really?

your indie side is heartbreaking

Why can't he like Wild Beasts in peace?

Re: spotify list
Sam - you'd added the wrong version of the Art Department track which I nominated so I've added the right one and deleted the one you put in there (at least, I think I have - I'm not really sure how editing someone else's playlist works).

Christine Fellows - Femmes De Chez Nous

argh! HERE not hear

It is lovely if you like that sort of thing. Which I suspect you might.

Kudos to whoever nominated Mano Le Tough BTW, love that dude

Opal - This Me Know

I'm guessing this isn't *the* Opal. Ach, it's so easy to google potential band/artist names now (or look at last.fm), why do people just not bother?

I think people have the right to perform under their given names whether they share it with some metal band or whatever.

And it's like really like dancehall queens and metal bands are competing for marketshare either.

Opal (the original) is neither of these things, btw.

Oh alright, I shouldn't have assumed that.

Emily's point is valid, though. It's the easiest thing in the world now to see if anyone else has put out records using the name you want to use. If you choose to go forward at that point, be ready to make some people irritated.

Not really sure internet penetration in Jamaica is that great (a quick google search says not really, no), esp. among the poor, but OK.

And also, back to my other point, it's not the end of the world or even a big deal, like at all.

"Intentalo" comes as a breath of fresh air on this playlist. I didn't even know it was nominated. I'm still not convinced it works all that well translating tribal into pop, but I will vote for it.

I am very happy with ilm's pattern of nominating pretty much every song I might want to vote for. Thanks guyz.

I think I'm back down to 15/25 as Meshell Nedgeocello had already been nominated. Apparently Wild Beasts had already been nominated too but I didn't spot them.

Teddiedrum-Odd Lovers

If this is the Opal you meant then I think rev's point about market share is even more valid. Also, talking about originality and names in a Jamaican context is different than in other places. Ninjaman gets big, so you get Ninja Kid and Ninja Ford. Horace Hinds changed his name to Horace Andy because Bob Andy was popular; etc. It would be going well against the grain to worry about sharing a name with a late 80s psych band.

going by the arguments i've seen on luciano's last.fm page (among many others) i'd say the fans, at least, definitely mind, on all sides

that page is interesting--I wonder if last.fm will pretty much force this kind of change to happen

google will! i love last.fm but i'm not sure it'll ever really have the necessary sway for that. you have many situations where there are multiple artists with the same name, but if they're all confined to different locations (karizma and kingdom spring to mind) i doubt it bothers them...

I think people have the right to perform under their given names whether they share it with some metal band or whatever.

a) Tell this to actors. Really, you are not aware of the fact that it is almost impossible to make a case for performing under your given name if there is a previously existing member of Equity who uses it?

b) I have no idea why you associate me with metal bands. That's a bit weird.

c) On the other hand, this is more acceptable of an answer:

Not really sure internet penetration in Jamaica is that great (a quick google search says not really, no), esp. among the poor, but OK.

There is a casual assumption that *everyone* has the internet now, and yes, it's fair enough that you challenge that.

talking about originality and names in a Jamaican context is different than in other places. Ninjaman gets big, so you get Ninja Kid and Ninja Ford. Horace Hinds changed his name to Horace Andy because Bob Andy was popular; etc. It would be going well against the grain to worry about sharing a name with a late 80s psych band.

Okay, I'm not au fait enough with the artists to be entirely sure what point you're making, so if I'm misunderstanding you feel free to correct me. But, on a surface level, you seem to be equating making a name in tribute to another act with taking the name of another act entirely. Which is so different as to be ridiculous that you'd even suggest that they were the same. It's perfectly reasonably to call yourselves a pun, a tribute, a nod or whatever, as long as the name itself is different.

As in, there is no way that 'Horace Andy' and 'Bob Andy' are the same. How do you make that distinction between 'Opal' and 'Opal'?

There are loads of examples of bands accidentally taking on the same names as other bands, Nirvana being perhaps the most prominent example. When I was scanning around for more music by Sully, I ended up coming across a Canadian indie band, an Irish producer and ended up buying something off Boomkat I'm pretty sure is by none of those three artists.

Yeah, and you know what? One of my bands googled, we found an obscure defunct band had already taken the name we were going to use, and WE CHANGED IT. Because we weren't a bunch of dicks.

btw, my #1 album is by the 18,000th group named King.

As I say, rev, I think your point about internet penetration stands, and I fully cop to that assumption, but your other points I disagree with.

Yeah, I think are main disagreement is over whether this even slightly matters.

brb getting started on my new side project called the Beatles

Okay, I'm not au fait enough with the artists to be entirely sure what point you're making, so if I'm misunderstanding you feel free to correct me. But, on a surface level, you seem to be equating making a name in tribute to another act with taking the name of another act entirely. Which is so different as to be ridiculous that you'd even suggest that they were the same. It's perfectly reasonably to call yourselves a pun, a tribute, a nod or whatever, as long as the name itself is different.

They're not really done in tribute to the established artists, they're essentially done so the new artist can jump on the bandwagon of the bigger artist's popularity. Like if in the late 50s a new rock singer had come out named Elvis Peterson and no one batted an eye. But yes, you're right, those examples are not the same as Opal not checking for the existence of a band called Opal.

This is a big generalization, but my point was that in Jamaican music culture there is much less of a perceived ethical harm in copying--there, I believe, this wouldn't be seen as a dickish thing to do. OTOH since the band Opal have been defunct for two decades, I'm not sure what the harm is anyway? You make a good point about actors and Equity, but I see lots of (I) and (II)s behind actors' names on the imdb all the time.

Anyone want to nominate the Zombi album? I only have two noms left, need to save them for a while.

i say this every year, but seriously: if you want something nominated, you should do it yourself. and if you won't or haven't for some reason, and noone else does, then it probably wasn't going to get votes anyway, so either way there's no point in asking someone else to nominate something.

Matt DC i'm lovin your trax on spotify right now, too bad I won't make it through the next 17 hours of this playlist tonight.

TRACKS

E-40 feat. T-Pain - Serious
Dubb-20 feat. Mistah FAB and The Jacka - All I Know
Mob Figaz - Loyal to the Mobb
Hercules and Love Affair - My House
Kate Bush - Wild Man
M83 - Claudia Lewis
Steve Arrington - (I Be) Goin Hard
Thundercat - For Love (I Come Your Friend)

ALBUMS

The Rapture - In the Grace of Your Love
Fatima feat. Floating Points - Follow You

(18/25)

That last one was the 3rd EP I've nominated - Assuming they've always been allowed as "albums" right? Guessing not many people will vote any of them but to me a cohesive 20+ minute EP should be in the same category, can be as much of a complete work as an LP

EPs are counted in the album category

btw, my #1 album is by the 18,000th group named King.

lol rev you finally found an album of the year you can live with?

"Street Halo" has already been nominated.

Oops, ok, scratch that and replace with:

Angel Haze - Fall For Your Type

Love the idea of some Jamaican dancehall dude Googling his proposed name and changing it in order to avoid upsetting some random twee indie band from Glasgow or somewhere. I mean, the very idea is ridiculous.

Albums

Dunno, I figure there's some value in nudging people or at least reminding them an album exists. I mentioned the Zombi album because they're ILM faves and I assume that a good few people here will consider voting for it.

TRACKS

Ital - Queens

(11/25)

Tracks

Will Young-Jealousy
The Strokes-Under Cover Of Darkness

23/25

ALBUMS

Jacaszek - Glimmer
Stephan Mathieu - A Static Place

15/25

ALBUMS

Perfume - JPN

I've only just discovered it, but just noticed no-one's nominated Perc's Wicker & Steel or anything from it yet.

Just sayin, cos I'd definitely vote.

'Some random twee indie band from Glasgow'

Rmde

Oh is that who it was?

Luciano is (also) a minimal house bloke too, right?

FFS Rmde weren't from Glasgow, they were a Thames valley shoegaze band from Banbury.

genuine lols

ALBUMS

Chain & the Gang - Music's Not For Everyone
Kemper Norton - Libraries Act EP

(I have been told that EPs count for the albums poll. Also, you can download that KN EP for free, I will put the link in the campaigning thread.)

(Oh, and... 12/25)

This was aaaaages ago in the thread, but

Grimes - Geidi Prime

Was released all the way back in 2009. Was there a re-release or something this soon?

Also, starting to put together my list of nominations and when deep cuts like Angel Haze's Fall For Your Type are already nominated, I feel the need to say that I'm blown away by the awesomeness of Sandbox.

I'm going to assume that after 400+ nominations w/o anyone putting forth "We Found Love" that it probably wouldn't have the votes to make the top 77. It's a shame, though, because I've found love in that song over the past few days. :(

it's a great song but that album is all about "Cockiness (Love It)"

We Found Love is the one song I've really dug off that album, but there was just too much great stuff re: singles esp. in r&b this year for me to squeeze it into my list. Sorry.

It was an incredibly great closer for this mix, though.

17/25

^^ my nom for 'least favorite nom post'

The only way I'd vote for Party Rock Anthem is with the provision it's accompanied by video of the two people in my office who will get up and do a dance to it at the most unexpected times. I think they coordinate by txt message.

if people are doing flash mobs in your workplace in 2011, i think your office is actually TV's "The Office"

It bears a resemblance.

Is there a unanimous favorite Turquoise Jeep track this year? I'm leaning towards "Did I Mention I Like to Dance," but "Why I Gotta Wait???" is pretty good too.

TRACK:
Class Actress - Keep You

(11/25)

"Why I Gotta Wait?"!!! xp

Not a single, but I don't intend on nominating, or voting for, the album.

Miranda Lambert - Mama's Broken Heart

8/25

I have to admit I don't like that Don Omar track all that much, but felt like nominating something. Same goes for the Boris, though I've probably listened to it more than "Taboo." Anyway, could care less even more than usual if nobody votes for those. Also, I was excited to hear "Intentalo" when I atypically was looking up and down the radio dial yesterday. So it is getting commercial airplay.

miketd, I missed Amira, thanks, though I think maybe curmudgeon said something about her in the past year. Listening to this right now (though this is not the sort of thing I like to hear in the morning, so I may come back to it later). Bachar Khalife (or Bachar Mar-Khalife) put out a pretty interesting solo album last year. Very proggy in parts. A bit too fusion-oriented at times, but there were some stand-out tracks on it.

Still waiting in hope for a bunch of things to be nominated or I'll have to scrap half my draft trax ballot...

it's kind of annoying that this whole nomination process is going by without any clarification of how many songs/albums will be allowed on our ballots.

25 per ballot

ALBUMS

Adele - 21

(17/25)

25 per ballot

― sean doily, Sunday, December 18, 2011 8:15 AM

To further clarify, 25 albums on the albums ballot and 25 tracks on the tracks ballot.

oh gosh we don't get to choose how to allocate singles and albums on our ballots too? that would be so much fun!

Can someone please add Maria Rita's Elo to the spotify album playlist? I'm not sure how to do it. I think it just had it's U.S. release, so it probably just wasn't available before.

(Or explain how to do it.)

We don't have a Spotify album playlist, do we? Just the tracks one, I think. Which I'm now finished with by the way so someone should update it.

Yeah, there is one.

If you've a week to spare...

aww, totally missed that.

Only the creator of the playlist can update that one.

Have changed it to a collaborative playlist, so if you see something I've missed...

Thanks. Thanks to whoever added it. I don't think it was me, unless I did it without knowing. I rearranged the tracks to be in the right order for the album. Hope that sticks.

(Oh right, it tells you who added the tracks. Nevermind.)

Frivolous - Red Tide

I'm slowly working my way through the Tracks spotify playlist and this is my favourite one (that I didn't nominate myself) so far

I think Dancing on My Own and Hang With Me placed in last year's results, but Call Your Girlfriend would also be eligible this year for being released as a single.
