Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Thursday, 2 February 2012 16:31 (fourteen years ago)

It's increasingly difficult to tell where retro-fetishism ends and new ideas begin

That's a fair point - unfortunately, in my case, when I'm checking something out and the first thing I hear is the same ubiquitous sequenced '80s synth sound I'm much less likely to put in the time to listen further to hear what else is going on.

o. nate, Thursday, 2 February 2012 16:32 (fourteen years ago)

ilm loves the 80s

Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Thursday, 2 February 2012 16:32 (fourteen years ago)

Oh so we've stopped handwringing about which bits of a genre you're allowed to like and we've got to the "indie friendly electrodribble" bit, then?

Matt DC, Thursday, 2 February 2012 16:35 (fourteen years ago)

i'm just gonna hide in my corner now and keep listening to idm

ciderpress, Thursday, 2 February 2012 16:36 (fourteen years ago)

Anyway, please ignore my griping. I'm just biding time until the top 20 rollout begins.

no it's not

first period don't give a fuck, second period gon get cut (lex pretend), Thursday, 2 February 2012 16:39 (fourteen years ago)

If J0rdan doesn't show up soon, maybe we can just have a show of hands for the other places.

Phibes Kartel (NickB), Thursday, 2 February 2012 16:40 (fourteen years ago)

Bon Iver anyone?

Phibes Kartel (NickB), Thursday, 2 February 2012 16:40 (fourteen years ago)

my hand is up

ciderpress, Thursday, 2 February 2012 16:41 (fourteen years ago)

One vote for Bon Iver.

Phibes Kartel (NickB), Thursday, 2 February 2012 16:41 (fourteen years ago)

It's increasingly difficult to tell where retro-fetishism ends and new ideas begin

it's increasingly difficult for me to care about how many new ideas something has

ciderpress, Thursday, 2 February 2012 16:41 (fourteen years ago)

matt dc i havent said that once this year if youre aiming that at me

Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Thursday, 2 February 2012 16:42 (fourteen years ago)

I'm not aiming at you, just pointing out the cyclical nature of these things.

Matt DC, Thursday, 2 February 2012 16:43 (fourteen years ago)

has it ever happened that the #1 P4k album just hasn't appeared in the countdown?

Drugs A. Money, Thursday, 2 February 2012 16:44 (fourteen years ago)

no because i always vote for it on 12 socks

ciderpress, Thursday, 2 February 2012 16:45 (fourteen years ago)

*shakes 12 fist*

Drugs A. Money, Thursday, 2 February 2012 16:47 (fourteen years ago)

ciderpress, Thursday, 2 February 2012 16:54 (fourteen years ago)

sockpuppets

nathey, Thursday, 2 February 2012 16:54 (fourteen years ago)

I think I might like this bon iver album if I actually listened to it. Maybe I will do so now?

I chipped a tooth on the buttbone (askance johnson), Thursday, 2 February 2012 16:54 (fourteen years ago)

i love this record and i'm not ashamed to say it

ciderpress, Thursday, 2 February 2012 16:54 (fourteen years ago)

my biggest problem with bon iver is that its not boring enough.

like as soon as he finds a nice mellow vibe he fucks it all up by doing something complicated and technical.

⚓ (gr8080), Thursday, 2 February 2012 16:55 (fourteen years ago)

i want to send him every red house painters cd

Next.

_Rudipherous_, Thursday, 2 February 2012 16:57 (fourteen years ago)

i like bon iver. it's like the pretty impressionist landscape of music.

call all destroyer, Thursday, 2 February 2012 17:01 (fourteen years ago)

i can see grady's point, but i totally love that album. it's really warm.

Armand Schaubroeck Ratfucker, Thursday, 2 February 2012 17:04 (fourteen years ago)

i've been surprised how low this has come on other polls, so good to see it place high here

nathey, Thursday, 2 February 2012 17:05 (fourteen years ago)

what is this

call all destroyer, Thursday, 2 February 2012 17:05 (fourteen years ago)

Still need to hear that Peaking Lights, I think it sounds right up my alley.

Gonjasufjanstephen O'Malley (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Thursday, 2 February 2012 17:05 (fourteen years ago)

I was actually surprised at how well Peaking Lights did in other polls. Don't really see what the fuss is about

Number None, Thursday, 2 February 2012 17:06 (fourteen years ago)

yay! my #5! Was hoping for top 10, but still glad to see it place

Drugs A. Money, Thursday, 2 February 2012 17:07 (fourteen years ago)

Wish I could have liked that album, lord knows I tried, but the tunes themselves were really annoying. Sorry guys :(

Phibes Kartel (NickB), Thursday, 2 February 2012 17:07 (fourteen years ago)

Love that Peaking Lights record.

also, fyi, bon iver is very annoying.

I chipped a tooth on the buttbone (askance johnson), Thursday, 2 February 2012 17:09 (fourteen years ago)

lag∞n affiliated (The Reverend), Thursday, 2 February 2012 17:10 (fourteen years ago)

call all destroyer, Thursday, 2 February 2012 17:11 (fourteen years ago)
