on spotify, checking out some of the Rock-a-Rolla list I hadn't heard...
was pretty floored by the sheer hyperactive weirdness and crinkly fuzziness of the omar album, until I realised that a spotify glitch meant it was playing at about three times the correct speed. listening at the 'proper' speed now. I wish I could accelerate it again.

wtf at that Lindstrom being on the rough trade list - it's not due for release until 2010 right?
― david cam'ron (tpp), Thursday, 26 November 2009 21:09 (fourteen years ago) link
everyone seems to be underrating the really actually rather good trail of dead album. like, to the extent where they're nominating muse instead.

Silly Norwegians, it's obvious that the only African-Americans who put out worthy albums this year are rappers whose best work came in the 90s!

No list will ever satisfy everyone, it's impossible. Mind you if it did, threads would be lucky if they got 3 posts.

it's sad that super furry animals end up number 2 on an uncut list and that sems about right as they have turned into dad rock.
― keythhtyek, Saturday, 28 November 2009 03:31 (fourteen years ago) link
Given that Norway is pretty ethnically homogeneous and has kept alive its folk traditions, maybe the music that ended up on that list resonates more with their cultural background than most African-American music. I wonder how much indie rock would turn up on EOY lists out of Africa?

Before we start getting into Scandanavian race politics, the Reverend's comment was a JOKE, ie the Norwegian poll features Rihanna, Jay-Z, Drake and 50 Cent whereas the others throw the occasional bone to Mos Def or Raekwon.

Oops. Sorry.

Leaving aside the hilarious narcissism of small diffs going on here, people who get on this sort of crybaby tip about music they 'approve' of being lauded by media they 'disapprove' of really are disgusting not to mention boring savages

i guess i missed the point of your post, is this entire exercise not one of subjectivity and opinion spouting it is actually more tiresome when people come in and claim to be above the fray and not prone to such pettiness. so you like the newest super furry animals and don't like people who would diminish it? is that what you are saying?

Um, no, it has its moments, I am just puzzled as to what world you live in where the idea of the band Super Furry Animals and the magazine Uncut interacting in this way is upsetting or unexpected

Of the 50-odd albums I have, I only truly love Franco, Springsteen, K'NAAN, Mos Def, maybe the best of Girls, Mastodon, Sonic Youth, Yo La Tengo, The Very Best, The xx, and Kurt Vile (though I prefer God Is Saying This To You...). Guess I better pick up the Bill Callahan.
Surprised by this claque's total shutout of P.O.S. and Art Brut.
― Pete Scholtes, Friday, 4 December 2009 19:35 (fourteen years ago) link
I still like Q, but they are getting a bit too populist when they are including Mika in their year-end list maybe. Plus I doubt a lot of Mika fans read Q anyways.
― Tied Up In Geir (Geir Hongro), Saturday, 5 December 2009 02:22 (fourteen years ago) link
K'Naan's a shutout so far, too, right? (At least on lists I've looked at, which really surprised me. Also sad that nobody seems to be listing the Death record, on Drag City. Are they disqualifying it just 'cause it's old music? Got written about everywhere when it came out, so I figured people would ignore how long ago the songs were recorded.)
― xhuxk, Saturday, 5 December 2009 02:32 (fourteen years ago) link
I'm voting for K'Naan! Probably #1. And yeah, it's weird that he's not everywhere--he'd totally fit into the Arrested Development/Coup/first-Kanye success arena.
― dr. phil, Saturday, 5 December 2009 02:57 (fourteen years ago) link
xp the death album is fantastic, but as a reissue it won't be eligible for most magazines' EOY lists.
― m the g, Saturday, 5 December 2009 16:58 (fourteen years ago) link
it's not exactly a "reissue." it was never really issued, was it? anyway, i assume it's eligible for pazz & jop.
― hellzapoppa (tipsy mothra), Saturday, 5 December 2009 17:05 (fourteen years ago) link
(i'm definitely voting for it.)
― hellzapoppa (tipsy mothra), Saturday, 5 December 2009 17:06 (fourteen years ago) link
I was under the impression that it did come out way back when, albeit in small numbers.
― m the g, Saturday, 5 December 2009 17:27 (fourteen years ago) link
actually, you're right, seems it never go a proper release.
I stand corrected, and now regret not voting for it,
carry on.
― m the g, Saturday, 5 December 2009 17:32 (fourteen years ago) link
You can vote for reissues in P&J--it's just 10 albums of whatever sort.
― if I don't see more dissent, I'm going to have to check myself in (Matos W.K.), Saturday, 5 December 2009 18:27 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah, everything is eligible for P&J -- EPs, reissues, never before issued EPs of old stuff, albums that came out in 2008, you name it. If I was honest, I'd vote for almost all reissues this year. Not going to, but I'll probably include Death regardless (not quite my favorite album of old stuff that came out this year, but they need my vote since they might actually have a shot of placing in the poll.)
― xhuxk, Saturday, 5 December 2009 19:18 (fourteen years ago) link
I've cooled slightly on the K'naan, don't think it'll hit my top ten anymore, but its still a great album.
― & other try hard shitfests (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Saturday, 5 December 2009 19:33 (fourteen years ago) link
I like and disqualified the Death album too.
― Pete Scholtes, Sunday, 6 December 2009 22:32 (fourteen years ago) link
was quite shocked to not see the U2 album in the Mojo list.
I wonder is this the first U2 album (for quite a while ..) to be absent from virtually every list of the year ?
(i suspect its made it onto the Q list given that they are on the EOY cover .. )
