so "to make music breathe again" is the beardo Williams disco equivalent of

gr8080, d-40 otm, my thoughts exactly

what was jaxon's blog called again? has he kept it alive ala lovefingers?

The heat is hot, you see

(9:42:03 AM) gr8080: this record reminds me of the stuff exactly in the jaxon, gr8080 and max wheelhouse of 3-4 years ago

(9:42:16 AM) jaxon: ha
(9:42:20 AM) jaxon: whatis?
(9:42:36 AM) gr8080: 1 guess
(9:42:44 AM) jaxon: new?
(9:43:03 AM) jaxon: i'm blanking
(9:44:06 AM) gr8080: were you not on the internet yesterday or something
(9:44:17 AM) jaxon: oh, ha.
(9:44:18 AM) jaxon: dp
(9:44:27 AM) jaxon: i was mostly starting a new job yesterday
(9:44:42 AM) gr8080: i'll allow that excuse

so the helmet-clad retro-futurists are embarking on a new mission: to make music breathe again

Then maybe they shouldn't dress like robots anymore?

yes and no

they should have waited til it was really hot out to release this album. like late july. seems like a good album for when it's really humid and gross.

man "Giorgio By Moroder" alternates between great and totally aimless in the most frustrating way

They should have waited for the hype to die down before they released this album.

they should have released this album and then not released this album

kind of like your posting style

this album is really good, except the panda bear thing, which would be dull without panda bear, but it awful because of him.

legible version of that pitchfork thing

They should un-release this album like that Mos Def album, and then re-release the album.

just found that, sweet relief xpost

that's like a fifth of it

maybe readability.com is more proactive than we thought

yeah : (

lol xp

seriously wtf is wrong with people who think that is an engaging way to present text?

There are loads of other singers that work work well up against the vocoder, but Panda Bear just sounds so strained and uncomfortable.

ok here you go: http://pitchfork.com/features/cover-story/9131-daft-punk/

haha "Lose Yourself To Dance" is terrible

no YOU are

i'm giving this my first full listen and so far lose yourself to dance is my favorite

The slow and saccharine vibe of most this is making me slightly nauseous.

gr8080 do you like this better than that destroyer album? your posts itt made me think of it, although i think theyre p different and good for very different reasons.

gr8080: this record reminds me of the stuff exactly in the jaxon, gr8080 and max wheelhouse of 3-4 years ago

this seems otm which is interesting

this album is terrible, it's my favorite, it makes me nauseous, it plods, it's so original, I love it, it's not worth the wait, time for bed.

I feel like the bots missed an opportunity in not getting Lindsey Buckingham on this record

i would have died, so it's probably for the best

okay wtf @ "Touch", this sounds like a rejected song from "Hair"

it's from the author of "Evergreen," sonny.

The Akbar and Jeff critical school.

listening for the 7th time, i think. love everything except the pee bear track at this point.

So, from the reactions here I gather it's both the worst and best album ever, is that about right?

touch is so great

I am tempted to go to the Janelle Monae thread and see how many of the people over there complaining about her being an overly theatrical theater kid are into this album

i thought so too, at first. now i love it. the death of critical distance = a consummation devoutly to be wished

yeah, that about covers it

vocoder freakout in "Get Lucky" is the second-best moment on the album behind the points in "Giorgio By Moroder" when the groove locks in between the solos

lampski i am really glad you like this!

i need to spend way more time with it before i can decide whether i like it as much as Kaputt-- i'm coming at it from a very different way than i came to Kaputt, but i do see the similarities in its fierce big and beautiful melancholy softness

also i just want to say again that CONTACT is so fucking killer
