Great music discoveries from other people's (p4k) lists I want to talk about

only about halfway through compiling my spotify playlist but it's gettin' real http://open.spotify.com/user/unbornwhiskey/playlist/4hDNgcCm3JXFuIQIKS1elu

i am noticing a crazy amount of cLOUDDEAD on these lists. when did anticon type stuff stop being a joke? is this stuff worth relistening to? i hated it all when i was 15.

not gonna lie, I still bump the Boards of Canada remix of "Dead Dogs Two"

that's an excellent track.

you guys would bump a Boards of Canada remix of Rebecca Black, though

damn right.

wouldn't go that far

now a Boards of Canada remix of Farrah Abraham, that would get played for like a week straight

I forgot about Lhasa when doing my list :-(

me too :-(

i hated it all when i was 15 = when did anticon type stuff stop being a joke?

Hm, yep, I definitely trust your 15 year old self to know what music 'is a joke' and isn't. Fucking twat.

tbh i still have p similar taste in hiphop now 9 years later.

lol awesome let's smoke out all the anticon apologists for proper ridicule

I ran out of time to make one of these. did anyone's list include either of these releases?

Oh no, some dude is going to ridicule me for liking better music than him, oh no oh help, watch me cry tears of blistering pain.

Oh, hang on a second, who had the Dismemberment Plan as their number one? That... doesn't seem to be me.

http://ih1.redbubble.net/work.5542900.1.sticker,375x360.boom-v1.png

did anyone's list include either of these releases?

no, though i did go for ultraglide in black. tbh, i just wasn't thinking of comps, though the 'bombs are obviously best represented by their singles.

if i had the chance to redo my ballot, i'd consider wolf eyes' dread and would definitely include if you don't already have a look.

emil.y i'm just fucking around, have a lifelong chip on my shoulder about anticon that i like to indulge

It'd be pretty cool if, a couple weeks from now, Pitchfork initiated The People's List Of Shit They Forgot To Include On The People's List.

Or indeed The Peoples List of Records They Stupidly Placed Way Too Low In The List.
Sleater-Kinney - Dig Me Out. Placement in my list (actual): 22. Placement in my list (If I could revise after relistening for the first time in a couple of years): 6.

My list: http://peopleslist.pitchfork.com/list/16b8d1d5/

Not sure what's obscure, a lot of it is quite ILXy even though I wasn't around for most of the timeframe. If you haven't heard Paavoharju then check them out.

thanks for reminding me to play Lindstrøm tonight!

That Low "Christmas" album is so handy as a thing to play on Christmas that won't alienate people but isn't the usual carols

i woulda voted for ultraglide in black if i'd remembered it. along with 900 other things.

ultraglide in black vomit

Couple of albums that possibly missed out because I didn't see them in the database (and I didn't do any write-ins): dEUS "In a Bar, Under the Sea", The Crepes "What Else", John Zorn "A Dreamers Christmas", Jonquil "Lions", Group Doueh "Guitar Music From Western Sahara", Richard Youngs "Sapphie", OOIOO "Feather Float", John Fahey "Georgia Stomps...", Faust "You Know Us".

If you haven't heard Paavoharju then check them out.

Made a note of this in the OG thread but it's more germane here: I checked out Paavoharju sight unseen after noticing their presence on a number of ballots and I'm very glad that I did.

http://peopleslist.pitchfork.com/list/7d38e3d1/

even though The Holy Bible is 94, they still had it on the ballot. not sure why it was on there (maybe bonus special edition stuff) but its incredible.

also, i left out Ween completely by accident and forgetfulness, but other than that I think this list sums up a lot of the past 16 years for me.

If this poll had covered the last 20 years, Ween would've been one of the most represented acts on my ballot rather than entirely absent.

you could've just voted for Tenacious D instead, same difference

Sorry to hear about that thing where you were born with no ears, some dude.

i just miss having all those ween threads to ruin haha

Surprise surprise, I love seandalai's list. Though he does include some stuff that I discounted - I went for no comps in the end, and stuff recorded in '77 (Langley Schools I'm looking at you) is pretty definitely a no-no in my book.

they are basically the greatest band so

Re: US Maple, no question

for some reason it's surprising to me that some dude doesn't dig Ween

nb I preferred the first draft of that post, "for some reason it's surprising to me that some dude doesn't go in for Ween," but it was voted down by the part of me that's not 12

they're really kinda whatever to me, i just get weirded out by the fervor of their fans who really want you to know those guys are more talented than the fucking beatles or something

To be fair, the Fucking Beatles were a pretty shitty band.

hey a hoy hoy, thanks for pointing out to my list upthread. it ended being a rough draft of sorts but i'm glad a few ilxors are getting something out of it.

ReRe: US Maple. you need to listen to acre thrills cos that's the paroxism of al johnson in terms of stealing/mocking every rockish vocal cliche out there. basically the guy never put together so many "ohyeahs", "alrights" and "heeeeeeys" as on acre. it is also their best 'riff' record to me. so so many great guitar lines, those two cats (rittmann + shippy) are undisputed champs in my book.

i meant paroxysm, sorry for the typo

I love that this thread is turning into a US Maple lovefest.

Well it is a thread about the best music of the last 15 years they were bound to come up

lol, not a fan i take it?

Couple of albums that possibly missed out because I didn't see them in the database (and I didn't do any write-ins): John Zorn "A Dreamers Christmas"... Group Doueh "Guitar Music From Western Sahara"...

― Cong rat ululations (seandalai), Tuesday, August 21, 2012 6:40 PM (2 hours ago)

aw shit. that's two more on the "forgot to remember" pile:

Masada Chamber Ensemble - Bar Kokhba
Group Doueh - Guitar Music From the Western Sahara

Surprise surprise, I love seandalai's list. Though he does include some stuff that I discounted - I went for no comps in the end, and stuff recorded in '77 (Langley Schools I'm looking at you) is pretty definitely a no-no in my book.

Yeah, I broke most of my self-imposed rules at various points. Langley Schools I half-rationalised on the basis that it was barely released first time round.

OK, there were only 2 things that really weren't on Spotify (Capsule and... someone else I've forgotten) and in some cases the album I chose wasn't available so I chose something else representative by that artist. I did it "backwards" so it starts with my number 50, one song from each album.

http://open.spotify.com/user/masonicboom/playlist/4EY0P1pseHIk5Vf90iFE2Y

Now I'm gonna start with some other lists, starting with Dan's. Awesome, looking forward to it!

woah, emily flew off the handle a bit upthread, chill out love.

Props to this thread for getting me to check out the Wolf Eyes/Braxton collabo...this is intense.
