2010 Magazine's Albums Of The Year Thread For Posting Lists and Discussion

i mean, the laziness is what bothers me the most about it. Like, I love woozy synths and nostalgic keychanges as much as the next guy, but like put some fucking effort abd passion into it, you clowns. I know you're all of the "Nickelodeon Guts" generation and mom raised you all to be special little snowflakes but fuck

Of the Altered Zones aesthetic, I mainly enjoy with the Majuere/Zombi axis side of things, love Zola Jesus, like Nite Jewel, Emeralds too

Mark McGuire album is awesome and 'brothers' is a song for the ages.

The 20jfg list is up and I would link to it if I could operate this dumb ass web gadget.

It's basically more of that sort of thing btw

I can't get into the Mark McGuire.

Although I am relived his name is actually his name and not WHOA RECONTEXTUALIZING ish like "Hype Williams" or "Phillip Seymour Hoffman" or "Dale Earnhart Jr Jr"

i like that autre ne veut disc a lot. not sure why you'd think that it lacks passion and effort. the vocals are a little detached, i suppose, but i'm guessing that's more about the guy compensating for his limitations as a singer?

ah, i think i read someone going on-and-on about how good a singer that guy is. show's how little i know, i guess.

McGuire was my dozing off album for ages, and it wasn't until one night recently when I wasn't sleeping too well cos of sickness that I heard 'Brothers' for the first time and I basically sat bolt upright and punched the fucking air and my heart was glad and then i threw up in a bin.

Die Antwoord, "Jou Ma Se Poes In 'n Fishpaste Jar"

cmon guys this is a cool song

didn't they sing the taco-bell song? maybe that was das racist?

wtfk.

That was Das Rascist.

i don't get that band at all.

wtf, I'm enjoying a Die Antwoord song

delete everything

nooooooooo

;_;

like seriously, I have no idea how this happened and I feel like I've been compromised by aliens

wow

just wait til they play a juggalo gathering and you need to go

it's like a bearable version of SALEM

this mcguire album is actually quite good. there will probably be some kind of karmic retribution against me for saying this but it almost has a hejira/mingus joni type ambience. a chillwave explosions in the sky is probably a better analogy but it's been a really good cold winter afternoon listen.

Something about the drifting dreamy mood of it reminded me a lot of Popol Vuh.

Plus, that Rangers album is Salem/Antwoord for The Wire set

No idea what that means, but I've been enjoying the Rangers album. How many lists did it appear on? One or two at most?

i listened to the rangers album and was distinctly unimpressed, and i'm usually predisposed to digging that sort of thing

i find die antwoord tolerable because 1. their 'irony' is actually supposed to be funny+entertaining rather than just a lazy curtain to hide behind and 2. they are pretty catchy and fun

which fucking mcguire album am i supposed to listen to? dude came out with like three this year? thinking thats not a good sign...

I only know of two, the new one in question here and a reissue that was a compilation of some older stuff (and really great, fwiw).

The one on Mego called 'Living With Yourself'. Haven't actually heard any of the others. xp

it took me til just now to figure out that oOoOO is a completely different band from OOIOO

Although I am relived his name is actually his name and not WHOA RECONTEXTUALIZING ish like "Hype Williams" or "Phillip Seymour Hoffman" or "Dale Earnhart Jr Jr"

just wanna second the love for deej's year-end list, it's great

it's all hip-hop/rap though!

like, if someone puts out a year-end list that's 100% "in my world of white guitar ppl" we all lose our shit

deej's list is similarly zzzzzzzz, right?

Well, deej's is a rap list for a rap blog. I would hope his full list would be, like rawse, deeper than rap.

Real curious to see how u guys react (if at all) to my list. It's pretty whineycentric.

i for one am excited to see yr list

obv that is like an anti-compliment but whatevs

ilxor I would be honored if you did an ilxor-style data dump on my list, even if just over email

i have no problem with an all white guitar rock list if its awesome. and doesn't count out black guitar rock (if there is any that is worth hearing). and it doesn't put the suburbs and my lame homo fishstick fantasy at #1 and #2

where is your list whiney?

i am mostly interested, as and when i make my list, as to whether anyone discovers new stuff they love through it, rather than nitpicking over what's at #8 vs #9, which is broadly interchangeable anyway.

^^

My list goes up Jan 3. I'll let everyone know if were still talking about this ish

why wait if it's ready now?

Cuz it ain't ready!

it's also not the end of the year yet!

Yep, records that are getting fucked on ppls lists because they're poppin out to early
--Diddy-Dirty Money
--Ghostface
--Anika

- jazmine sullivan
- ciara
- r. kelly

(- keri hilson: not likely to be on anyone's list, not even mine, but doesn't deserve to be ignored either)

...

If it isn't actually good enough to appear on anyone's best-of-the-year list, why does its release date matter?

Yep, records that are getting fucked on ppls lists because they're poppin out to early
--Diddy-Dirty Money
--Ghostface
--Anika

if more than a few random ilxors and geoff barrow stans had heard of anika, that might help a bit

that r. kelly shit is all over my list, it's really good!

At least Diddy is sure to wind up on my list next December.
