haha i actually did that this morning! sounds great! it passed the "You Can Call Me Al" test, a benchmark for record players

Glad yo hear shady parking lot player works well. But that was damn weird. I worried he might roll you then buy a money order.

xp Oh yeah, I know. I remember hearing him a few years ago and he's was much more aggro (i think the track was called Vampire or something). he's gotten really chilled and stonery - i love it!

people feeling the need to say shit like this just because someone else on ilm said they like it is just bizarre to me
― some dude, Friday, March 16, 2012 9:44 AM (7 hours ago) Bookmark

You're right, and I would feel the same way.. I keep seeing the song mentioned everywhere.. I got halfway through and it didn't immediately hit me as something I feel like listening to ever again.. and I'm just left thinking "why am I trying to get into a new Usher song..."

hell yeah, this is fantastic. especially like the last track on the LP ("mali") and the sweet, acoustic A side of the single ("amidinine")

― Fozzy Osbourne (contenderizer), Tuesday, 20 March 2012 04:23 (1 year ago) Permalink

african music has become my favorite kind lately, though i'm not sure exactly how this happened. another recent favorite:

music from saharan cell phones - various artists

also on sahel sounds, also from late 2011, technically

4 excellent choices from psychgawsple there

didn't feel symmetry but i have limited (ie: almost no) tolerance for italians do it better in general

― lex pretend, Tuesday, 20 March 2012 20:03 (1 year ago) Permalink

album that i'm gonna mention here because it doesn't fit into a rolling thread and it's not ~amazing~ enough to start a thread of its own for, but it's still really worth a listen - they keychain collection by gang colours. really organic-sounding, pastoral electronic sketches that really hit the spot when it comes to spring hangover time with the sun streaming through the window and your brain in repose

― lex pretend, Tuesday, 20 March 2012 20:05 (1 year ago) Permalink

Album faves at the vernal equinox:

Grimes - Visions
School of Seven Bells - Ghostory
Chairlift - Something
Hanne Hukkelberg - Featherbrain
Ulrich Schnauss & Mark Peters - Underrated Silence (this year's Tycho - Dive)
Silver Swans - Forever

The Orbital + Zola Jesus - "New France" single is nice, too.

― Pauper Management Improved (Sanpaku), Tuesday, 20 March 2012 20:17 (1 year ago) Permalink

listening to that gang colours right now and it's really nice, although i'm a little surprised that you're into it, lex? it's definitely up my alley though.

― 40oz of tears (Jordan), Tuesday, 20 March 2012 20:19 (1 year ago) Permalink

i find it very soothing in its slightness

― lex pretend, Tuesday, 20 March 2012 20:22 (1 year ago) Permalink

Couple of tracks from recent months:

Cosmic Metal Mother - Italian Cowboy

School of Seven Bells - Love From a Stone
Mano Le Tough - Mountains

I'm certain I've heard that Gang Colours album but I can't remember the slightest thing about it :(

didn't feel symmetry but i have limited (ie: almost no) tolerance for italians do it better in general

this is probably the least typical release they've put out tho, seems to be more of an homage to howarth or moroder scores than anything vaguely 'italo'. it's not particularly novel either tho, lots and lots of ppl are emulating '80s sdtks these days

i would just like to point out to all the people in the EOY thread who were whining about there being fewer tracks for individual albums/tracks and that the people in the rolling threads were keeping the good shit from you that i have started, and i have seen started, a lot more individual-artist threads this year, and 90% of them have completely died. which is fine, it's expected and that's why we HAVE rolling threads, but i hope to see no more whining this year
