No, Starbox is four previously released 12-inch records packaged together; Textstar picks and chooses from among those releases, and has about six (?) fewer tracks. All of the tracks on Textstar are on Starbox, I think, but they aren't the same thing.

(msp: How would you compare the Xiu Xiu EP to the full-length from earlier in the year? I loved the full-length at first but fatigue set in after a few listens.)

I'm the other voter for that one. It's actually one of the few records I voted for that anyone else liked as well.
(I'm the sap that wasted most of my votes on Lewis Taylor and Solomon Burke. Also, nobody else went for Cinematic Orchestra, The Boggs or the Rough Trade electronic compilation.)

it's way better than the full length. perhaps it's length is a factor, but i think the ep shows them much more raw, and the production is much more bombastic, so the emotion is more pronounced.

Don't worry I stuffed the ballot for you. I'm geniunely surprised it did so well too. w00t.
As for Boards of Canada, I was hoping that Twoism, even though it's a reissue, would sneak in there instead of Geogaddi, which played more like an extended EP (an EEP?) for me.

I think Ballboy being placed top 40 is my favourite moment of that list, to be honest. House music never meant anything at all to me.

Not sure whether to be pleased or bummed tbh.

― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Thursday, 15 April 2010 02:27 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah but it's an insult from Whiney, it's almost an honor to have him recognize that, apparently, my tastes are different enough from his that it's worth pointing out. Glad to have my differences!
― I just wish he hadn't adopted the "ilxor" moniker (ilxor), Thursday, 15 April 2010 02:44 (fourteen years ago) link
Also, I'd love to see him ru down my list of albums with his opinions. I'm guessing we have at least some crossover in our tastes (hip hop, metal and whatever else), he's just not keen to admit it publicly and would rather hurl off a one-liner at me.
