well then, this is new to me.
"weatherman" would have been one hell of a radio hit in 1996. you guys are telling me there's an entire good album of this?

yeah this is weird, i've been out of the mainstream rock game for well over 10 years but i'm 4 songs in and loving this.

they're in a kind of awkward no man's land, not on a major label but don't scan as 'indie,' have had some radio airplay but not enough to be a big deal, etc.

I remember giving that Dead Sara record a go in the summer, but I'm not nostalgic for that sound so I never revisited. She has a good voice but overall it made me want to listen to the Nymphs. Now that's a band I have some fond memories of.

I mean, I haven't heard it so maybe it isn't absolutely terrible, but the trajectory of the internet/critical fascination with ICP over the past five years is pretty lol-worthy to me.

24 CAT POWER - "CHEROKEE (NICOLAS JAAR REMIX)"
nice to see this get recognised!
the original of "running" > the disclosure remix
the only ware remix i prefer to the original is joe goddard's astonishing version of "night light"

the only thing i've heard this year that reminded me of Cocteaus = around half of the Sleigh Bells LP
I remember thinking of the Cocteaus -- or specifically, Liz's singing -- when I listened to the Poliça album. Not that the voice really sounded alike, but there was something similar in its use and treatment -- the multitracks with small variations / delayed entries / deviations, tiny flourishes at various points, etc.
I've only heard the album once, though, so pinch, salt etc.

I'm a big fan of the Beach House album, and while Cocteau Twins are definitely an influence on it, I hardly think BH is ripping them off, especially not with the vocals.
If Beach House sounds like anything really specific, it's probably The Motels "Suddenly Last Summer".

Times lists:
Caramanica: haven't heard any; would give Lee Brice a listen.Ratliff: have heard half (1,2,3,6,7,9); loved the Jeremy Pelt album, liked Nazoranai, was disappointed by the others (I saw Ravi Coltrane live this year and he was excellent - different band than either of the ones heard on the album, though).Pareles: have heard 3 (2,3,6); liked the Alabama Shakes record a lot, though at least one or two of the songs could really have used a horn section; thought the Dylan album was much weaker than the one before it, and can't even remember what the Fiona Apple album sounded like.Chinen: have heard 6 (1,2,3,6,8,9); lots of overlap with Ratliff's list and the ones that are unique to him, I didn't really like; I've heard much better Tim Berne albums than this year's. Gonna check out the Yosvany Terry album, though - I've heard three really good 2012 Criss Cross releases this month. They're a label that really needs a US publicist.
