1. The Black Keys - "Weight of Love" (4)
2. The War on Drugs - "Under Pressure" (10)
3. First Aid Kit - "My Silver Lining" (1)

20. Sturgill Simpson - "The Promise" (1)

Congratulations to The War on Drugs' "Under Pressure" and Future Islands' "Seasons (Waiting on You)" for being the fifth and sixth songs to join our AMF Hall of Fame! That is, assuming that Future Islands' total votes from last week will count towards its "Top 10" placement. Essentially, it does, I think. Both songs are automatically retired from the chart, and the 10 highest charting songs otherwise moved on to this week.

2014 Chart-toppers by week (number of weeks atop of the chart, if more than 1, are counted next to the name):
1. Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra - "Fuck Off Get Free (For the Island of Montreal)"
2. Damien Jurado - "Silver Timothy" / Warpaint - "Love Is to Die"
3. Warpaint - "Love Is to Die" (2)
4. Damien Jurado - "Silver Timothy" (2)
5. Young Fathers - "Get Up"
6. St. Vincent - "Digital Witness" / Warpaint - "Love Is to Die" (3)
7. Sun Kil Moon - "Richard Ramirez Died Today of Natural Causes" / Warpaint - "Love Is to Die" (4)
8. The War on Drugs - "Red Eyes" / Warpaint - "Love Is to Die" (5)

Thank you all for voting and nominating continuously every week! Don't forget to nominate your new songs, as well as support others' nominations if you see fit! Though it was a bit late this week... again... I will do my best to make the new topic at 19:00GMT next week, as per usual.

Best of voting!

[DocBrown]

Hey, one of my nominees actually survived two weeks! Have I gone mainstream?

Let's try "Brill Bruisers" by the New Pornographers and "Right As Rain" by The Tapestry next week.

[Sketch]

I'll nominate Mastodon - "High Road"

[Rdwdbob]

I'll second that nomination for The New Pornographers "Brill Bruisers".

[Andre]

Nomination: Metronomy - Reservoir

Try out both the album track as well as the Jacques Lu Cont remix.

[Henrik]

A nomination again for Röyksopp & Robyn - Do It Again

I also second the Metronomy - Reservoir nomination above!




And imagine how much better "Hey Mr. Grey" and "Glass Boys" would be with Sade as the singer.

[Luke JR68]

I'll second Henrik's Do It Again nomination

[Henrik]

Luke, I saw your comment in the other thread
""Monument" and "Inside the Idle Hour Club" were thought provoking"
I saw "Inside the Idle Hour Club" merely as a fade out thing, but it really grew on me when I listened more closely to it after your comment! Another album/EP closer that has a similar effect on me is "Indo" from Studio's "West Coast"/"Yearbook 1" release. You might want to check it out. And if you like it, I'm quite certain that you will enjoy "Out There", "West Side" and "Life's a Beach!" even more.

(It's been a while since I advertised "West Coast", so I figured it would be ok again now.)

[tombeet]

I'll nominate:
Hundred Waters - Murmurs (just can't stop listening to it)
White Lung - Down It Goes
Jhené Aiko - To Love and Die
Jessie Ware - Tough Love
Polica - Raw Exit

[Luke JR68]

Thank you for the recommendation Henrik, I'll give it a listen when I have the time

[Setherex]

I'll nominate:
Hundred Waters - Murmurs (just can't stop listening to it)
White Lung - Down It Goes
Jhené Aiko - To Love and Die
Jessie Ware - Tough Love
Polica - Raw Exit

Gotcha - but note: One of your nominees is already on this week's ballot!

[DaveC]

Nominations:-

Ezra Furman - I Wanna Destroy Myself
The Microdance - Moopy Moop (I can only find this on Soundcloud)
