ILM's Top 77 Albums of 2012

xp - I agree with that too -- Keef was big news here. (Did not vote for, but I enjoyed Don't Like when it came on the radio)

YES J Foster album is BLOOD RUSHING. That is what I was talking about. It's on spotify if you're inclined. I guess now that I think about it I tend to post enthusiasm to artist threads rather than rolling threads -- that and I pretty much like anything on Soundway and they have been stepping it up in the new music dept recently. Poor JFo has to share a thread with J Newsom! Unjust.

xposts i feel the same way you do LL

The JoFo (lol) album is not all as delicate as the first song -- there's a lot of variety. I recommend Geyser for a thorough shakedown, Panorama Wide for Morricone-esque Western noodliness. I don't think of her as delicate at all though! Well, sometimes, but she's pretty fierce imo.

i somehow deluded myself into thinking richard skelton would place

Rolling vs artist threads goes back to my point about people needing to have heard an album to vote for it - how many people read the JoFo thread?

xp - I knew you were going to pick up on that "delicate" comment!

I love josephine foster but I think i forgot to vote for it (didnt take note of my ballot)

Richard Skelton was on my to-check-out list but it's not on Spotify and I guess I'm lazy :(

man I am sad I didn't hear about this Cooly G album earlier

i've been meaning to check out josephine foster for a while and i think i shall, now

seandalai could you email me my ballot please?

Josephine Foster might be a good one for Lex to try cos it's not a million miles away from Mirel Wagner. Except it's a very warm, welcoming record, whereas the Mirel one seemed about as warm as a freshly dug grave in October.

ha xxp!

about as warm as a freshly dug grave in October.

not a diss btw

if my estimates are correct, approx 6 ppl read the JoFo thread
ha

you're right -- i follow the folk/drone/weirdo rolling thread, i guess that's where i belong.

haha that's what i love about the mirel album

i don't really have any sort of idea what kind of music jofo makes

j-fo!

sold on listening to jofo

i hadn't heard this jofo album before but it's great!

are we j foing itt or what

a victory of sorts!

i'll take it

I like the Josephine Foster record but I can't listen to it in one go. I don't like her voice a ton so I have to limit my exposure. The songs are amazing though, so I dip in and out. Have to say, "Child Of God" is sounding great this morning.

we have to redo the poll now, good job

i said this before, but on this album she covers her full spectrum from preschool teacher to Disney heroine/prewar pop to crazy crazy crazy lady and that is what i love about her. she tries lots of different things and even when she doesn't hit her target (I didn't love Graphic as a Star, was kinda dull) it's pretty.

anyway

more results, i feel like my work here is done

Okay 'Geyser' on this record is amazing!

I still wouldnt count anything out yet; this poll doesn't seem to be likr previous ones. Though don't get your hopes up either!!

xp - that is why i nominated it in the tracks poll (early!) so people could accidentally hear it when they played the ilx spotify list on shuffle and be like WHAAAAA

in 2013, polls will change forever

granted some people would prob be like AGGGGHHHH but either way at least they heard it

if she's not out yet, this may be my most magical bitching of all time

her voice is amazing but i do know why some cant take it. But she has put out a lot of quality records in her time.

where is our very own jofo btw?

i have never heard J-Fo, always assumed she was sort of the same as J-New?

save us JoFo!

Hahaha, J-Fev

Joanny Fever

Save us Johnny Favreau!

Wait, that doesn't seem quite right.

I voted for 'Geyser' in the tracks poll, was hoping to buy the album before poll time but failed...

josephine foster, more like philistine imposter

=D

I like the Josephine Foster record, but her voice is definitely an acquired taste

Hi, everybody! This getting up early shit can apparently only sustain itself for a maximum of two days. Rollout starts late today, but starts now...

40. WILD NOTHING Nocturne (357 Points, 12 Votes, 1 First Place Vote) Spotify

good morning!

cloud wild nothing

huh

I kind of like this first song

What is Wild Nothing? And are they any more tangible than Cloud Nothings?

ha, xposts

googled these guys, literally everything that came up immediately made me close the tab down for fear of contamination

there's a little bit of "this would have been my favorite band in 1987" going on here

lmao now Im definitely not listening to this band
