It's the same guy right? I like both of them on record (and fostercare, Jokers Of The Scene and Gatekeeper for that matter) but White Ring were utterly awful live.

i guess the creep/romy xx single is coming out too late to place in these lists - wondering if i should hold off on nominating it for the ilx poll. why would anyone release a single on 20 dec, gah
xp i'm sure they're different acts - hang on, when did you see white ring live? i saw them at the nest, i thought they were ok! even if coming out to set their stage up beforehand ruined their ~horror movie ghost~ mystique a bit

my problem is that i dislike it when critics speak to some universal "we" that they assume from out the vapour in order to validate (or contend with) their own tastes. like she is not she, but merely another node on the consensus-generating online readership chain. i'm not saying i don't like it when others agree with me, but i'm more than a little tired of contemporary deference to the rendered opinions of the info-cloud. fuck that. whatever world you imagine you inhabit is at best a tiny slice of reality as a whole, and more likely a figment of your own imagination. i'd rather share the music i like with my friends in the here and now than wait for some random blogger to tell me it's cool.

I saw them at The Ruby Lounge in Manchester during In The City. The music was amazing but the girl's vocals were so insanely out of tune (this is an open goal right here for witch house haters I guess) and grating.
It was fucking intense though. There was so much dry ice you couldn't see a foot in front of you and all the security at the front were freaking out because they reckoned they could hear someone screaming and being sick but couldn't find them.
I saw someone later in the evening who confirmed that they were stood next to someone who started screaming and vomiting.
Not that I use this as any kind of critical barometer you understand...

screaming & vomiting is hella critical barometer

if i thought i could hear screaming at a witch house gig i'd just assume it was the band!
she doesn't do much "singing" though does she? just lots of oo-ooo-oooos and howls and screams.

"they reckoned they could hear someone screaming and being sick but couldn't find them.

Ah but there's good howling and screaming and bad howling and screaming though! It's like the bad versus good noise arguement...

Hey scott, since you asked about current Asian music, this will not lead you to an album list, or even an album, but you should go to youtube and search "tokyo ultra c" with the following song titles: Denpa Tsuushin, OSCA, Sounan & Shuraba,Zettaizetsumei, kimaru.
(Apologies, but not really, for being an obsessive fanboy. I don't really know about Asian music in general.)

i've still got several albums to get through before i can even think about finalising my own EOY list - only just got round to diddy-dirty money, araabmuzik, san soda, keri hilson, mellowhype, natalie storm and r. kelly; got el debarge, the pretty reckless* and girlicious queued up for later today...
*yes, taylor momsen's band. the guardian interview w/her piqued my interest.

San Soda album is pretty good and very 90s throwback but probably not likely to trouble yr end of year list.

courtney as the indie kim makes perfect sense. og awesome records to huge drop off, crazy plastic surgery, far more respected lover dead from mysterious gun shots

constant bitching about younger rivals too

Really really shocked to see that Swans won't place on Pitchfork's Top 50.
I still don't get the massive love for that Deftones record. Its good, this band has a really high level of consistently good output, but this is nowhere near as inventive and engaging as they have been in the past.
― one pretty obvious guy in the obvious (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Wednesday, 15 December 2010 14:38 (thirteen years ago) link
well, probably people are comparing it to other records out this year and not other Deftones records

I get that, I just mean none of their older records made this kind of showing on lists, it just surprises me.

Its showed up pretty high on a couple other lists too. If it was just Kerrang! I wouldn't be thinking so much about it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_Pony
White Pony received mostly positive reviews, garnering an aggregate rating of 72 on Metacritic.[7] Alternative Press ranked the album the second best album of the year 2000 and, subsequently, in their September 2010 issue placed White Pony in their list of the “Top 10 Most Influential Albums of 2000.” UK rock magazine Kerrang! named White Pony their third best album of the year behind Queens of the Stone Age’s Rated R and At the Drive-In’s Relationship of Command.

i agree the deftones album is same-level as most of their output. difference is, this album has a compelling back story -- band makes a new album, band member involved in car crash, goes into coma, band scraps new album, makes cathartic new album to reflect grief and anger and disbelief and every other feeling they are now having
(this will also make the scrapped album sell very well, and be more anticipated -- see how that works?)

She's been serving up idiotic quotes for at least a year now. I think one of the better ones was "I have no idea who Justin Bieber is. I listen to Led Zeppelin and The Beatles".
