Year-End Critics' Polls 2012

i was raised in an igloo

I mean, no doy the NPR/Guardian/etc news peg is that "Ay, this person with multiple top 10 singles from the 80s (lol "one-hit wonder" fuck you)" is working with some spazz-jazz lunatics. But I would wager that a good majority of the people who actually enjoy/love/fuck with the record would/do listen with the Thing on the non-Cherry off-season

what kind of bogus life do you have to have led to have not heard of neneh cherry

Don't...you get fresh with Lamp

manchild, will he ever win

i was just asking myself, who's is that igloo on the street?

Also, I'm willing to bet that the two albums Neneh made with trip hop band CiRCKUs or whatever the fuck they were called probably soundscanned as many copies as any Thing record in America

this person with multiple top 10 singles from the 80s (lol "one-hit wonder" fuck you)

Here in America, "Buffalo Stance" hit #3 and "Kisses On The Wind" hit #8. I've never heard the latter song. So fine, she's a two-hit wonder. (Her other two charting singles in the US, "Heart" and "Buddy X," hit #73 and #43 respectively. I don't think those should really count for much, do you?)

"buddy x" counts for EVERYTHING

ROMEOOOOOO

I remember seeing "Buddy X" all over MTV

You never had Seven Seconds? Weird, that song was everywhere over here

WHAT ABOUT YOUR WOMAN
BUDDY MY FRIEND

xpost I'm just saying this isnt like some Jane Child shit here

first thing anyone has said on here that makes me want to hear something:

"but that Goat album is like beamed from an alternate reality"

also, you're not gonna GOTCHA PALIN me on some FAITH NO MORE ONLY HAD ONE CHARTING SONGS ROFLMAO FAIL WHALE shit because, critically, real talk, Nenah set the stage for Massive Attack, Portishead, Tricky, et al, and everyone acknowledges that

wait what's the name of the goat album i'll look for it on the youtube

i really liked one post buffalo neneh album can't remember title

Homebrew?

u can stream the goat here!

MAN! that album is great. that's the title. MAN.

"hornbeam" off man is such an underrated cut

might just listen to neneh all day

homebrew unfortunately had michael stipe on it meaning you could never play the album all the way through or own it cuz you might get stipe on your other CDs.

MAN is just a great under-heard/rated/etc 90's album.

But it did have "Move With Me" on it.

michael stipe's sex rap is the most hilarious thing i've ever heard

homebrew is great apart from that, cosign love for "move with me"!!!

Nenah set the stage for Massive Attack, Portishead, Tricky, et al, and everyone acknowledges that

Who is this "everyone"? I don't even remember people giving a fuck when she popped up on the Nearly God record. Maybe this is part of some elaborate mental game you're playing with yourself where you're pretending you're English, but if so I wish you'd leave me out of it.

board description!

accusing whiney of pretending he's english is graduate-level flamebaiting, v. nice

By "everyone" I mean "every pop critic who doesn't make a big show about bragging about ignoring things that aren't in their microscopic insular wheelhouse and BLIMEY GOVNER MILK IS 45 P AT THE TESCO?!"

If only there was some time in history when american critics stanned for trip-hop

that would be really cheap milk. even for green mad cow milk that would be cheap.

make a big show about bragging about ignoring things that aren't in their microscopic insular wheelhouse

wait how does this not describe 90% of your posts on ilx

Uh because I post in electronic and metal and world and pop and regional thug threads and generally have eclectic tastes?

Like I'm literally the dude going "you should know who neneh cherry AND the thing are" right now, but keep spending your thanksgiving weekend trolling me

asking one question isn't trolling, swinging into 500 threads screaming "everyone who likes this is a brony" is trolling

lol unperson kind of has a tired and offensive (much more so than wgw's) schtick too, brah brah

oh i know, whiney just described it in a way that seemed a lil too close to his own

Don't think I knew that The Thing had worked with Otomo Yoshihide. Dude is awesome, will look that one up for definite.

eventually all ilx schtickers will get old and end up like alexinnyc and be all "beyonce must burn in a thousand fires in hades...zzzzz...gottagofeedthebabybrb..." and all of this will just be a dream.

baby fell asleep on my chest while i was pestering whiney :)

sorry it's not the "faux concerned, avuncular meta-analysis of everyone's posting styles" schtick that great ILX poster some dude uses to wonderful effect 13 hours out of every 24-hour day

Oh of course your gonna post something cute before I zing you >:(

shhhh you'll wake the baby

lol

havent the foggiest if this is the creme de la creme or anything this is a random trap mix i checked out (and was mildly entertained by) a while back

honestly i cant be bothered to feel scandalised by this stuff or its nomenclature, it's just regular clubby shit but with the added facility of comedy thugged-out oompa loompa music
