I think Aphex actually addressed this at some point making some sort of distinction between songs having a distinct structured format whereas track are a bit more meandering. I don't know. I could have just made that shit up. Anyway, carry on. Some of these seem like they are dancing precipitously close to the edge of satire but, since this is the WATMM SOTY playlist, I'm keeping 'em on because, damn, isn't that such a WATMM thing to do? Also, that clowncore track is trif. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it's hard to tell (particularly around here) if people are on the nose or not (I know I've fallen prey to being pretty snarky myself). No offense intended, and I actually quite liked those tracks (I'm on a bit of a rock meets K/J-pop meets metal kick so these actually kind of slide in well alongside that) - I do think the great thing about this list is, whether it is in jest or sincere, there is such a wide array of different sounds that I absolutely would never have just come across on my own. Trif means "terrific" - think it's British'ism that I stole but it might also be a valley girl thing I stole. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braintree Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Technically, a song is a type of composition that follows a fixed format, but colloquially it's used to describe any composition. One of my professors used to harp on me for that bullshit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xox Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 if a track with someone singing in it makes you wanna dance it's a dance song. if that shit happens in Europe it's a eurodance song so... no, not music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watmmisdead Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 (edited) My favorite is probably that Beltran track. I normally hate this kinda cheesy early 2000's "lounge" type track, but he managed to make it actually sick. love the percussion work and the guitar melody.

Roo Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 Yeah, his music videos are always a bit of an event. He has made guest appearances on Rage (and other ABC stuff) a couple times since around 2013-14, bit of a dean on retro kitsch and a very funky man. We've recently had a few similar artists who've walked that fine line between irony and genuine avidity, most notably the likes of Kirin J Callinan, Alex Cameron, Holiday Sidewinder, Sam Sparro, Jack Ladder, The Chats, etc. Konichiwa was possibly my favourite single of the 10s, and he gave me another SOTY here. Mr. Experience was his first album to fully work for me front-to-back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to check out those other folks - and yeah, he is right up to that line and somehow ends up being both incredibly funny but also creating bangin' tunes. I definitely was rocking Mr. Experience earlier this year in a completely joyous way for sure. 12 hours ago, Zephyr_Nova said: Damn, that Strokes song is REALLY good.

I really thought the whole album was pretty tight from beginning to end, though I don't think there's a song that quite reaches the emotional heights that this one hits. I'm not a huge Strokes fan but there are these tracks that have come along through the years that knock me on my ass with how good they are (check out Ize of the World - very different tone but equally as emotionally genuine and surprisingly cerebral and thought provoking) Edited January 7, 2021 by T3551ER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
