speaking of olden tymes wierdos, Chrome - Half Machine from the Sun (Lost Tapes 79-80) is worthy of your consideration
― you say tomato/i say imago (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 9 December 2014 20:36 (nine years ago) link
oh my yes, didn't think about that in terms of EOY stuff

it's newly released though right?

I had been thinking for a while about starting a sort of avant-rock Uncut called "No Country For Old Men".

I would buy that mag! Rock=A-Rolla kinda covers that, along with brighteyed bushytailed young noise and avant rockers aged 30s-40s.

how dare anyone over 40 make or like music damn dinosaurs
― strychnine, Tuesday, 9 December 2014 21:37 (nine years ago) link
Yeah, I'll def vote for Sicko Mobb as well. Amazingly consistent tape. Fact had it on their top 100 2010-14 list as well.
― Frederik B, Tuesday, 9 December 2014 21:37 (nine years ago) link
the FACT list is really horrible despite having some absolute gems on it just because it feels like such a dated way of thinking abt music
there was one list that was really excellent but then it had perfect pussy as the last one listed and it kinda bummed me out. probably the best non-cosmo list posted so far
― ≖_≖ (Lamp), Tuesday, 9 December 2014 21:45 (nine years ago) link
why dated

this, though....
Gangster Gibbs is as old school as they come, in the sense that his realness is verified (with the proverbial battle scars to prove it)
― نكبة (nakhchivan), Tuesday, 9 December 2014 21:48 (nine years ago) link
To be clear, I like all those artists, though they hover more in the lower half of my top hundred. It's just an interesting new-ish pattern of older artists making some of the most challenging, least commercial music in their careers, and topping a lot of the polls.
And yes, I read my poststructuralist theory way back when, and know not to essentialize and oversimplify anything. At last week's Opeth show, I did see some women there who were into the band, not just there with friends and dates. However, men still made up about 98% of the audience.

i like a couple of these, but this list is kind of poopy:

love the gibbs album but why the bloodclot is it necessary for a critic to bring that up, it'd be good even if those things weren't true

god i feel i should try at least a couple of thi year's 'avant rock' albums not by olds but nothing is really looking inviting

4 The Lowland Hundred - The Lowland Hundred
this is well worth highlighting ftr, cartographically-fixated duo from west Wales in the Talk Talk/Wyatt tradition
― cornelius pardew (DJ Mencap), Tuesday, 9 December 2014 22:20 (nine years ago) link
the 'avant-rock' column has always been meaninglessly named, it's just a repository for anything which features a guitar in some form and didn't get picked for the main section

uhhhh, the most recent kevin gates release aside from the one that hasn't dropped yet is called By Any Means. "posed to be in love" is a song on it

I am currently listening to Fader's top song ("Wishin You Well" by Makonnen) and lollllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll gtfo

The backing track is really nice, but those verses have issues.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 9 December 2014 22:42 (nine years ago) link
I definitely don't understand why anyone would rank WYW instead of "Tuesday" or "I Don't Sell Molly No More"
― example (crüt), Tuesday, 9 December 2014 22:46 (nine years ago) link
that whole song is an issue.

with regard to the superannuated wire cover star set, my private name for that genre (merzbow, jg thirlwell, maybe william bennett, assorted wonky jazz mavens etc) is avant-furniture or avant-furn
the sort of people who instinctively know how to stare obliquely into the middle distance when being photographed at a dutch angle next to a concrete building, comfortingly implacable, reliably difficult, reassuring references to bataille and schwitters, that sort of thing

I was quite disappointed with the Swans record compared to the two before it, I don't think I'm alone there
