I’m not gonna cry (probably not gonna win, anyway), but Zhong Non Hai didn’t make it in somehow. Oh well, I’ll vote for sumpin’ else. (I’m really not trying to bust your balls for doing us a favor, mmm. Thank you, again!) ---

Hehe, it’s nice to know it’s not just me reading too much into it. And the chain of events with this band and I went something like this: Someone sent me the video for Parpaing (nominated in the previous poll), and I originally thought “Cool, but I’m _not_ sure I get it.” So I watched a few more and ran into that video pretty quickly. I watched that video a few times just to try to figure out what the hell might be going on, and its rhythmic groove just grew on me. I’ve since bought all the records, made sure I caught him/them the one time they’ve come through town, and have a lovely Igorrr t-shirt featuring a chicken with flaming eyes that is now dear to me. And if you asked me what style of music Igorrr makes, I’d either give the unhelpful descriptions of “Metal” or “All the genres”. Mostly because “Cannibal Corpse playing Devo covers while alternating with an orchestra and a European folk group, plus chickens” is a clunky name for a genre, and it still doesn’t quite cover Igorrr. ---

> [@scabpicker](#): > > “Cannibal Corpse playing Devo covers while alternating with an orchestra and a European folk group, plus chickens” OK, you sold it to me. I gave it a listen. It’s fine, but you’re right - the genre needs a snappier name. j ---

> [@scabpicker](#): > > Did you listen to both Very Noise and Vegetable Soup? The latter spawned that description. The former, but I also listened to Vegetable Soup just now. Actually more enjoyable than just weird, I would say. I may have to look this - uh - person up. j ---

The drum lick reminded me of “[She And Mr Jones](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fj2jsRzIpnY)” by Lords of Acid, which is a little more… conventional. ---

In a shocking upset, “Xplosion” came out of nowhere to become the highest-rated choice in the world-famous **Ponch8 Music Rating System**. I hadn’t even heard of the song before @scabpicker nominated it. ---
