(18/25, i think)

glad people are feeling phaedra, i first saw her perform in oslo at the start of the year and it was one of those albums that didn’t necessarily blow me away immediately but sort of snaked under my skin and stayed there (and re-emerged when the weather got cold). gorgeous melodies, gorgeous details. very still.

Both that album and the Jenny Hval record were good singer-songwriter things on Rune Grammofon this year.

Her voice reminds me a bit or Julie Delpy, albeit with a Norwegian twist

or of

oh yeah the jenny hval album was good too! i should go back to it—i got both at the same time and ended up favouring phaedra so much that i forgot about hval somewhat...

Tunabunny—(Song For My) Solar Sister

(19/25)

The Thee Oh Sees track is a much faster and harder version of an earlier released track. This version came out this year on the split with Total Control.

it still alarms me everytime to be reminded that a) there’s a band that calls themselves Hype Williams and b) there are people that can bring themselves to listen to them.

tbh I would listen to Hype Williams the band over Pushy Parents, Humousexual, or Tunabunny if we are going srictly on horrible band names

well sure if you put it that way it’s hard to argue

would listen to a band called Tuomasexual though

cosign

I make a point of only listening to bands with astonishingly dreadful names.

you voted for a radiohead song

haven’t voted for anything yet. plus I am considering nominating a second Sunny Sweeney song. i might even vote for “Remind Me” as it is a decent song, but who knows. i just thought it was funny.

Well, that’s odd. I wouldn’t consider listing something by (say) Dave, Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich as “v/a”. It’s very much a collaboration.

I agree it should be listed under the artists—I just pointed it out so that (a) you get your nom back (b) it doesn’t turn up twice on the final nominations list.

hey whiney have you heard Wiccans—Skullduggery

Cool beans and thanx

XP

Well, that’s odd. I wouldn’t consider listing something by (say) Dave, Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich as “v/a”. It’s very much a collaboration.

its not really v/a im just hella lazy

also i realistically didnt think anyone else wld want to vote for it never mind nominate it so

i might vote for that shit

definitely going to vote for

teams vs star slinger—s/t

haha i feel like at one point was p much openly begging ppl to listen to that record

It’s a great record, I kinda slept on it until I saw Star Slinger doing his thing live and it was mindblowing, the way his beats seemed to fold in and explode on themselves.

oh god why was i even complaining about ‘hype williams’ when ‘joy orbison’ is still a thing that exists

he’s called O Joy Simpson now.

i think joy orbison has changed his moniker to joy o now. hype williams (the band) really suck though.

thought that na’tee mixtape was 2010?

Yeah he’s Joy O now, I liked his record ‘Jels’ this year

Oi ineloquentwow, I have already nominated that myself. One of the ones that I nominated that already hadn’t been nominated.

Oi excuse me!

should’ve changed his name to The Joy Omittable

I Didn’t Mean to sound rude lebateauivre. It is hard to keep track of what has already been nominated.

No problem, didn’t take it that way! I felt disappointed with myself for I hate others for not looking if something hadn’t been nommed yet. But with this one I though “surely not”... And I’m very pleased I was wrong :)

A couple more I’ve just discovered:

Amanda Applewood—I Love Boys

Wussy—Pizza King

Not sure what the dealio is with comps but if possible I’d like to nom for

Various Artists—Still Going In Offices

Which is a compilation on Savoury Days, half is new stuff, half is old but generally ridiculously obscure post-punk/DIY/Messthetics-type releases. It’s fucking ace.

browsed through the spreadsheet and found out that someone nominated Kasia Nosowska’s single (and that’s nice!), while nobody nom’d my fav Katy B cut yet, so:

TRACK:

Katy B—Witches’ Brew

(17/25)

clemenza, are those albums or trax?

TRACK

White Town—She’s A Lot Like You

(21/25)

Sorry—everything I’m nominated or will nominate is a track.

White Town is making new music?!

also, thx clemenza.

I forgot about that White Town song. It’s good!
