Posted February 10, 201411 yr Roll up! Roll up! Get your results here! Yes after all your votes have been collated and checked, we have the results of the great buzzjack indie/alt song of the year. I'll be presenting the results in batches of ten. The top 10 will be presented individually. So here are the lowest ten of the 110 nominated tracks 101 (047) 102 (040) Big Black Delta - Side Of The Road 102 (040) 104 (039) 105 (037) 106 (027) 107 (026) PLANNINGTOROCK - Human Drama 108 (023) 109 (000) Claude VonStroke - Urban Animal 109 (000) Tale Of Us - Another Earth Not really any surprises here apart from the bottom two tracks not getting any points at all. Feel free to speculate on where all the other tracks ended up, the winner and anything else at all...
February 11, 201411 yr Roll up! Roll up! Get your results here! 105 (037) Not really any surprises here apart from the bottom two tracks not getting any points at all. Kinda expected this - some distinctly un-alternative tunes to come too...oh well, at least my other four nominations got at least one vote from someone else. I must be the only person out there who loves Rachel Zeffira...or maybe nobody has even tried that video link ;)
February 11, 201411 yr I can't remember which forum Lissie has so much fans on.... I guess not Buzzjack :P
February 11, 201411 yr Author Right-o here's the second batch of tracks from 100-91. 91 (072) 92 (066) 93 (065) 93 (065) 95 (064) 96 (061) 97 (059) 97 (059) 99 (058) 100 (049) Well the Foals track is an obvious stand out from this batch. I nommed the rather fantastic 2020 so disappointed to see it this low. Another Toe is not a patch on Bagboy so I'm not surprised to see it here.
February 12, 201411 yr Argh, 2 of my nominations in the bottom 11. Anybody else that far removed from the Buzzjack "indie" norm? And I use "indie" in the loosest possible terms as limp pop rubbish like Bastille, Imagine Dragons, Paramore and Tom Odell are all still to come. Not sure why 'Another Toe' and 'Bagboy' were the nominations anyway when 'Andro Queen' was easily the best Pixies song last year.
February 12, 201411 yr Kinda expected this - some distinctly un-alternative tunes to come too...oh well, at least my other four nominations got at least one vote from someone else. I must be the only person out there who loves Rachel Zeffira...or maybe nobody has even tried that video link ;) I know 'The Deserters' and 'Break The Spell' which are both excellent. I'd listen to ones I don't know but I don't really see the point when there were so many songs nominated I do really like and it's hard to compare against one listen.
February 12, 201411 yr Author Here's numbers 90-82 (as I haven't broken ties this is just the most logical break): 82 (086) Slava - Girl Like Me 83 (083) 84 (081) 1987 - Ocean 84 (081) 86 (078) 87 (076) 88 (075) 89 (074) 90 (073) Shame to see John Grant this low. I thought Cults would have a lot bigger impact with their second album that they actually had considering the first made quite a splash IIRC.
February 13, 201411 yr Am I the only person with 4 of 5 nominations outside the Top 81 then? Poor f*** Buttons and Steve Mason. Guess I'm out of touch ;) Edited February 13, 201411 yr by richie
February 14, 201411 yr Author Here's 80-73: 73 (098) 74 (097) 75 (095) 75 (095) 77 (094) 78 (093) 79 (090) 80 (087) 80 (087) Josef Salvat - Hustler A little surprised that The Dame only got to #78.
February 15, 201411 yr Author 69 to 61: 61 (123) HAERTS - Hemiplegia 62 (117) Ghost Beach - Close Enough 63 (115) 64 (114) 65 (113) 66 (109) 67 (106) 68 (104) 69 (102) 69 (102) 69 (102) 69 (102) So almost half way and some of the bigger names are starting to creep in. Editors, Kings of Leon and Suede all here with songs that are shadows of their former selves. (Although Barriers is a track I do like.)
February 15, 201411 yr Must admit that Hemiplegia & Barriers are two of my votes that I only discovered thanks to this vote. 2 months on, I should've put them quite higher!
February 17, 201411 yr Author 59 to 51: 51 (140) 52 (137) 53 (135) 54 (132) 54 (132) 56 (130) 57 (128) Young Galaxy - Fall for You 58 (126) 59 (125) jj - Fågelsången 59 (125) Highlights of this batch are the lead Pixies track off the comeback EP, the lovely Vaults and the excelllent Savages track. Shame Signal 30 didn't quite crack the top 50. Really getting into it at the moment.
February 17, 201411 yr Author 49-42: 42 (159) 42 (159) 44 (157) 44 (157) 46 (153) 47 (149) 48 (147) Jai Paul - Str8 Outta Mumbai 49 (142) 49 (142) So Kodaline and The Knife finish just outside the Top 40 as does Jake Bugg's only nominated track.
