the CC was reviewed on Pitchfork and hasn't charted on Billboard, do you have any idea how many R&B albums the inverse is true for? weird example.

I did like "The Seed" more than Interpol until I heard it in a "Six Feet Under" episode and that's where it went

I think one more pair of square quotes around HIPSTER in Whiney's post would've closed the loop for me, as it is I'm scanning his entire being as ironic.

NickB - did Wire publish a classical list?
― xyzzzz__, Thursday, 6 December 2012 22:50 (eleven years ago) link
from DeRo's Miguel blurb:
Finally breaking from the weight of expectations as well as genre constrictions, Kaleidoscope Dream gives us an artist with a unique vision, boundless potential and a weird haircut every bit as notable as that distaff visionary working similar turf, Janelle Monae. And wouldn’t those two be a concert double bill to die for?

DeRogatis :Channel Orange - On his first album, this 24-year-old New Orleans native offers a vision for remaking R&B that’s arguably as powerful as those from greats such as D’Angelo, Prince, Stevie Wonder or Marvin Gaye. Heartfelt, sensual, sexy but devoid of sexism, these tracks are lush and inviting but never less than unflinchingly raw and honest.
Folks just trolling Lex atp

Yeah they did J, but I mostly just typed in the lists where the names were short. Maybe I'll do that one in a bit though.

well, no, his name is Jim DeRogatis actually.

haha I'm listening to Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs now ("Promises") and basically I'm mad at myself for buying in so quickly
apparently I'm just a syncopation whore
― I loves you, PORGI (DJP), Thursday, 6 December 2012 22:56 (eleven years ago) link
xp Ugh. Any talk of remaking/transcending R&B puts me in Lex's camp. I'm cool with big crossover "statement" records getting more press than well-crafted examples of the genre because it's been like that since forever, but I hate the idea that it's automatically superior to all the stuff the writer hasn't heard. And there's definitely a genre bias - hip hop and R&B are presented as if they need "transcending" when indie doesn't.
xp Emeli Sande had the second or third biggest selling album of the year in the UK. I don't think she's been waiting desperately for a nod from the BBC website to make her feel good about her career.
― Deafening silence (DL), Thursday, 6 December 2012 23:03 (eleven years ago) link
She has the top selling one actually:http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/the-biggest-selling-albums-of-2012-so-far-revealed-1736/
― Albert Crampus (NickB), Thursday, 6 December 2012 23:07 (eleven years ago) link
I had no idea...the only time she impinged on my world was at the Olympics opening/closing. Everyone else on that list seems more famous to me.
― a Christmas .gif for you from (seandalai), Thursday, 6 December 2012 23:12 (eleven years ago) link
Remarkable that 80% of the top ten are British. Is that a new thing?
― Albert Crampus (NickB), Thursday, 6 December 2012 23:15 (eleven years ago) link
xp Oh there you go then. I assumed it was Adele now and forever. Weird that only 4/10 of those came out this year. And who knew Paloma Faith was that big?
Lol at the commenters telling the Official Charts Company that their list is wrong.
― Deafening silence (DL), Thursday, 6 December 2012 23:16 (eleven years ago) link

tbh I had no idea Cody Chesnutt released an album this year and I loved Headphone Masterpiece

It's one of those albums that's a total mess and I wouldn't want it any other way.
― rap乒 4-tay (The Reverend), Thursday, 6 December 2012 23:22 (eleven years ago) link
It does strike me as odd that this whole conversation was sparked by Jeremih, who isn't really by any estimation one of the tastemaking hipsters lex would decry, in spite of his attempts to lump him in. I mean, he's pretty obviously following trends here, rather than setting them. You might as well get upset at people for liking Melonie Fiona.
― rap乒 4-tay (The Reverend), Thursday, 6 December 2012 23:26 (eleven years ago) link
well yeah, the reason it became a convo is because an example as batshit as Jeremih was used. making a mixtape with DJ Drama and 2 Chainz and Mike Will Made It, what a hipster!
