Funny enough by paper I meant today's WaPo digital issue I downloaded onto my iPhone. Which is new BTW and was given to me as a gift from a relative who put me on their family plan. I am still poor as fuck, personally.

If I could afford a fancy smartphone I'd have gotten the Galaxy III but I'm not complaining about having a free iPhone...

point stands, xxp

lol

ftr i didn't coin the phrase "'wot do u call it' moment"

60/ KEITH FULLERTON WHITMAN "Issue Generator (for Eliane Radigue)" [216 points, 5 votes, 1 first place vote]

Spotify

i have no idea which version of "issue generator" on youtube is this "issue generator", so if anyone wants to post that link itt feel free

first thing i voted for thats shown up i think

more experimental synth drone shite

Weird start to the day. Listening now on soundcloud. So what's the story?

Hurrah, my #1! My favourite synth odyssey in forever. Def not one for the 5-seconds-and-boast crew. Full 17-minute version is on Spotify.

wot's the story

Cool! Love KFW.

Highest points per vote average in the 77?

i dunno about this, it's hardly a choon now is it?

I knew this was popular in certain quarters but I'm surprised to see it place

i like KFW but didn't really have time to digest this when i was racing thru all the tracks nominations last week, plus its not really the type of thing i usually vote for on tracks poll

Less a choon, more a drooooooon.

I've listened to so much stuff like this it kind of has to have some kind of gimmick or extra little thing for me to be interested anymore. But it might also cause I stopped smoking weed. Does this bust out into psych-synth weirfness or is all droney like the first three minutes have been?

Is KFW the same person as Hrvatski?

couldn't make it more than 16 minutes in, what rubbish x-(. (great chooooooon, v nice and surprising to see it here.)

Hrvatski is KFW, yes.

Is he/she Croatian?

This whitman fellow needs to write more choons the milkman can bosh to.

(I like this one, great list so far!)

don't have access to spotify at work, but this should evolve from drone into multiple overlapping arpeggios. has a great live sound

enjoying the 6-min soundcloud version (don't have spotify) but this music will rarely be more than pleasant background sound for me. don't think it's weird or even that impenetrable/droney, nice to see it place.

having said all that the 6-min version just ended and i definitely felt the lack of it, i wanted it to go on!

whitman is american. this is good but its no http://youtu.be/RAQESTUHqSQ

Weird.

Yeah, you can just get lost in it!

yeah, echoing what lex said. i thought to myself this sounds nice but i'll never listen to it twice then was kinda sad when it faded out.

i pretty much forgot what i voted for (is there anyway to access one's ballot on google docs?) but i'm pretty sure this was one of my choices. KFW is amazing.

j0rdan, did you see the duplicate spreadsheet I made for you?

the track as it was made shouldn't fade out. It does attenuate nicely at the end, though

yeah this piece kinda jamz the fuck out, not really 'synth drone' or w/e, love the lingering farewell at the end, whole thing is a party

59. HAIM "Forever" [218 points, 8 votes] (135 points for Lindstrom remix)

Youtube / Remix Youtube / Spotify

is there a reason this track in particular was highlighted out of what - i assume - is an album full of alike tracks

j0rdan, did you see the duplicate spreadsheet I made for you?

yes thanks

i remember hearing this in maybe the campaigning thread, even on my 2nd listen idk what to think of it (re: keith fullerton whitman)

ha re: KFW not haim, i haven't got round to having an opinion on them yet

the OG haim track is nice for what it is, remix is p banging tho

the track as it was made shouldn't fade out. It does attenuate nicely at the end, though
