Exactly, she may be popular, but everything else on Top 40 stations is one big four-on-the-floor synth jam dance fest.
Small anecdote: I drove home for Thanksgiving and the only radio stations my friend’s car would pick up were Top 40 which: fine all right okay that’s cool, but they kept playing this one song that had every line end with “on the flooooor”. It was the most grating thing I’ve ever heard in my life.

that killer mike lp was cringe enough at the time let alone still picking it after however many months hindsight

I think they really believe that a list is drawn up and painstakingly sequenced by a central committee weighing up, say, Taylor Swift vs Killer Mike, using a whiteboard and flipcharts.
tbf I really wish this would happen more often.

NPR/Uncut catnip though it may be, I love the Father John Misty record. Who's with me? *silence across ILX*

Has Rick Rodd even made any other lists?

Ha, Ross
Hmmmm thats a different Fushitsusha album on the Wire list than the one on my own top 10.

There were two fushitsusha albums this year, both on heartfast
― Dan S, Wednesday, 5 December 2012 18:52 (eleven years ago) link
Confusing! One of them is on Spotify, but I don't know which it is.

I think they're supposed to be the first two parts of a trilogy
― Dan S, Wednesday, 5 December 2012 18:55 (eleven years ago) link
I voted for both Fushitsushas (a tie). Kinda thought others would do the same - I mean, how do you choose between Fushitsusha albums (unless one of them is Origin's Hesitation or the one Zorn produced, of course)?

I see that one of the wire voters picked the second of the two as his album of the year, so maybe that's why it did better

This is literally someone who The Wire put on their Top 50. This video is maybe the best thing since Salem at Fader Fort.

you might laugh at the idea of casio + loop pedal jams, but he's not doing it particularly badly. so many macbook + ableton + apc dudes do so much less at their shows.

i just now realized that you weren't saying "this is literally someone who put 'the wire' in their top 50" -- i couldn't understand what you were talking about. the internet is poisoning my brain.
― J0rdan S., Wednesday, 5 December 2012 19:33 (eleven years ago) link
it's very "department talent show at Google"
would rather watch/listen to this than Salem tho

The Killer Mike record certainly holds up.

dude looks uncannily like a former roommate who plays Irish fiddle semi-professionally, down to the uncomfortable dance moves

Sorry I didn't see this earlier, but I really like it too. Nowhere near as mopey as I expected, in fact quite joful and even funny at times. I was really surprised by it.
