I hope there's a sketch about all this HAIM handwringing on SNL tonight.

I meant in general, outside ILM but hey, I do find that the more specific and esoteric an SNL sketch is, the funnier it is.

That Matthew E White album is nice but I'm surprised to see it ranking so high.

yeah there was a lot of corny indie fuxxor angst over it a couple of months ago but not much on ilx. until now. it's a pretty great album but i'll admit it strikes me as an odd choice for any individual's #1. totally makes sense as a consensus pick though.

TSJ selection is still reliably great. Nevospitannyy, Pata Pata and Damaso in particular.
― Ramnaresh Samhain (ShariVari), Monday, 25 November 2013 07:56 (ten years ago) link
The Haim album is possibly my favourite of the year but I agree that it doesn't seem quite like AOTY material. Then again I don't think I've heard an album this year that immediately struck me as a legit classic like Kaleidoscope Dream or Let England Shake.
― Matt DC, Monday, 25 November 2013 09:44 (ten years ago) link
It occurred to me the other day that the ILM Top 10 albums could end up being almost entirely comprised of shiny pop-rock and pop-country.
― Matt DC, Monday, 25 November 2013 09:45 (ten years ago) link
I think it will be fascinating this year because there's so little consensus in the lists and the ones that are cropping up a lot so far aren't ILX favourites. From my own top 10 I can see Vampire Weekend, John Grant, Haim and Kacey doing well but I'm not sure what else will place.

i'd've thought MBV would do well but coming out so early in the year probably hurts its chances.

i thought i liked the disclosure album but it didn't stick at all. "white noise" is in my hundred-strong trax of 2013 longlist though

Pretty sure the ILM list is going to be terrible this year. No consensus among the outliers that I can see, and another disappointing year from Finland.
― emil.y, Monday, 25 November 2013 12:47 (ten years ago) link
I'm sorta shocked that no one's mentioned Paramore yet. That record was such a 2013 jam.

I listened to it for the 400th time yesterday afternoon after my local station played "Still Into You," finally a hit, at least here. I'm tempted to make it my #1 album, flaws and all.
― the objections to Drake from non-REAL HIPHOP people (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 25 November 2013 12:55 (ten years ago) link
I dunno, I've stopped using EOY as any sort of barometer of 'what's best' because I know this year won't jibe with my listening but it's always a great way for me to check out what I've missed, discover a few hidden gems and generally find out what's been happening in the curious world of music I don't listen to much.
Outlier consensus will probably be the Knife album or something.
― a beef supreme (dog latin), Monday, 25 November 2013 12:57 (ten years ago) link
I don't think you understand the outlier demographic. The Knife are not outliers. They're fucking massive.
― emil.y, Monday, 25 November 2013 12:59 (ten years ago) link
pretty proud of our TSJ list – our best ever imo.
― the objections to Drake from non-REAL HIPHOP people (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 25 November 2013 13:00 (ten years ago) link
xpost yeah but they alienated a lot of people this year.
i guess it's the outlier stuff i'm most interested in. i've been on top of things quite a bit these last few years and i'm always amazed at how much i've missed come EOY time.
― a beef supreme (dog latin), Monday, 25 November 2013 13:00 (ten years ago) link
Singles Jukebox list looks pretty good, actually. Certainly some things I'll check out.
I'm hoping that I'm wrong about the weirdo stuff getting no traction this year, maybe I've just not been paying adequate attention, but I do have a feeling that ILM is going to be very shiny and well-produced and, uh, Haimly.
― emil.y, Monday, 25 November 2013 13:04 (ten years ago) link
some of the weirdo stuff is shiny and well-produced!

That can be true, yeah. I'm kind of grasping around to find a way of describing 'the usual suspects', but's it is not so easy...

― space bl00ps (NickB), Monday, 25 November 2013 14:14 (ten years ago) link
Yeah, I think there are quite a few consensus outlier picks in there. Depends on how outliery people are talking about here. I mean, once something gets a consensus it stops being an outlier. Although there's no 'The Seer' or 'Bish Bosch' this year. TNP and the Knife maybe the closest to that sort of thing. Great to see that Hacker Farm album making a few lists. Will def be in my list.

'Jobseeker' will be making an appearance in my tracks list, but I haven't heard the album all the way through (xpost re: Sleaford Mods).
Hookworms haven't really had much ilx love, which is a shame. They're not doing anything completely crazy, but certainly one of the best live bands I've seen. Also nice to see the J-Grü album in the Norman list, but that is not an ilxy record.

Is Dustin Wong making any lists? His album is really interesting and good and not tooooooo weird. What about Earthless?
