so this is the year that online outlets decided to make a major expansion of genre-specific lists, right? or did i just miss all the metal/rap/etc lists in previous years?

yeah that express rising is great. mikal cronin's like a less extreme version of vampire weekend on these lists for me where it's someone whose work i enjoyed in the past despite obv potential criticisms but the latest release just did zero for me and i'm apparently the only one who felt the falloff.

this galcher thing - seeing it popping up everywhere. the music is sort of interesting but the singing and lyrics.

re the Spin avant list, how am I just hearing about this BiS Kaidan thing now? sounds like a genius idea
― wantaway strikers make money working from home (DJ Mencap), Tuesday, 17 December 2013 11:03 (ten years ago) link
There's some great stuff on it but it's not exactly 'genius', the anti-idol thing's not particularly new.
― emil.y, Tuesday, 17 December 2013 11:06 (ten years ago) link
I've not read anything about that Galcher mix that's made me want to listen to it, but that's the same with a lot of these dance lists. That's possibly me being more disconnected from club culture now but the writing just makes them all sound so dull. Contrast with the Spin avant list where virtually everything sounds interesting even if in practice I might end up hating half of it.

#7BiS-Kaidan, BiS-Kaidan (Avex Trax)
The real life Ciccone Youth, the dream of noise-as-pop: It ain't gonna be realized by Perfect Pussy's warmed-over Hüskerisms, folks. Live from the land of the rising Bad Moon, come the six members of real life J-pop idols BiS teaming with 30-year harsh noise institution Hijokaidan. Together it's the brightest, most beaming, sugar-coated double-rainbow melodies majestically rising from the most impenetrable, howling, feedbacky soup (with the occasional shriek for good measure). The absolute, natural, bulldozer-through-the-arena-wall end-point of the line that goes through White Light/White Heat, Daydream Nation, and Nevermind.
god bless u whiney

People, help me see the light. What am I missing with that Drake song that Pitchfork had as their #1? Because if I'm not mistaken, that song blows.
― kornrulez6969, Tuesday, 17 December 2013 13:27 (ten years ago) link
What does it mean that when I look over that Pitchfork list, there's quite a bit of music I like? I honestly have the feeling that whenever I look over their weekly picks and "best new music" categories during the year I struggle to find things.
― MikoMcha, Tuesday, 17 December 2013 14:16 (ten years ago) link
Of course, maybe I'm just imaging things and should read Pfork more often?
― MikoMcha, Tuesday, 17 December 2013 14:18 (ten years ago) link
Actually, looking over the Pitchfork list again, it becomes pretty clear how it weak a year it was for indie guitar music...
― MikoMcha, Tuesday, 17 December 2013 14:25 (ten years ago) link
It's been a weak decade for indie guitar music
― kornrulez6969, Tuesday, 17 December 2013 14:45 (ten years ago) link
it's been a weak "since 1995" for indie guitar music

Yeah, indie guitar music sux. Not like that great Drake song that won pitchfork. LOL, i'm kidding, that song blows.

People, people...indie guitar music has been lame for a while AND that Drake song is no big.

Some of the records on Pitchfork's honorable mentions list (outside the top 50) are pretty surprising:
http://pitchfork.com/features/staff-lists/9292-albums-of-the-year-honorable-mention/1/
Particularly Hecker, Ka, Death Grips and Cronin. Would assume all would make the top 50.
