With the year-end ballots being practically around the corner now, I should probably take the opportunity to post some things I've failed to rep enough/at all for while the taking's still good:
Single of the freaking year, for me. A post-breakup, failing to move on lament: delicate, sweeping and haunted, all ice crystals and windswept tundra. And the weeping cello(?) in the middle eight, jesus. (Posted before in comments here, but I don't know how many people saw it.)
Best song off an amazing album, and probably Clark's most pop moment to date: kind of like Rex the Dog doing Warp. Vivid, catchy and warm.
Ne-Yo's best kick-him-to-the-curb anthem since Irreplaceable, brilliant in its simplicity. That chorus is pretty much impossible not to holler along to. How this has not been a single is MORE THAN I CAN FATHOM.
Also: Few Nolder's El Snig & Moderat's Rusty Nails I've posted before, but deserve a second mention now that I've concluded they're among my top 10 tracks of the year. Check them if you haven't!
If anyone else wants to get some last minute reps in, feel free to use the comments section of this post! This can be the official pre-polls campaigning thread, or something.
