Imago Listening Club

going to play the first 10 seconds of every song on this album

did they just sing "shine brother shine on, shine brother in the sun"

permaban

oh this music makes me ill

y'know that when something is permabanned, you stop listening to it, right?

i just had to make sure

you tempbanned it in other words

or yellow carded it

unless cut copy created a sock account and snuck into your ears pretending to be a new band?

f(x) give me the idea of bandname mashup f(n+x) and tbh i think that this would also sound kinda rad :D

obviously the music is much better than bloody cut copy (who are *now* permabanned), gonna give this a good few trax

i'd know cut copy in a millisecond. actually no i wdnt, so much 80's-actin' bilge out there. shit.

f(x) are p good fun i gotta concede, and the music's well put-together, got a bit of depth n craft, not all major-key harmonisin'

somewhere, somehow, frank k0gan is otm abt this lot

so they didn't pull a meowsy mcdermott on you?

no, they did not farcottonloco inspector slade this shit up & end up being f(x)

so this danny brown album is 2 weeks long

oh shit

what the hell :D

this isn't yer pop-rap ilxfodder, this is hard & tite

now it is yer pop-rap ilxfodder

hmm idk actually. there's something brilliant about this. everything i'm reading about danny brown persuades me i'd go apeshit over the previous album

You might.

actually am rly rly rly getting to enjoy this

"Adderall Admiral" builds an entire track off of different segments of This Heat's "Horizontal Hold," with a Hawkwind sample thrown in for good measure.

i am listening the shit out of this album @ some pt

rme at "pop-rap ilxfodder" but you might enjoy the source of the 'Torture' beat's amazing sample:

ooh ty, think Torture was where the album went into overdrive

this is brilliant, yeah completely sold on D Brown, wda made my ballot easily (lol I haven't reached the 'pop' 2ndhalf yet tho lol)

actually forget my earlier suggestion, listen to some arty/confessional rap by my man:

am forgetting no suggestions, as intimated earlier, but thanks

Danny Brown album not quite challenging Clipping as my number one rap of '13 but it's giving Death Grips a real tussle for second

i'm sure danny brown appreciates your support.

(i found Clipping unlistenable tbh)

whole album - masterpiece. if anything gets stronger near the end

factory floor - can't follow up danny brown

and reeks of james murphy

and uh

no

^^^the sort of post that demonstrates why I'm posting all this here rather than on the albumzpoll thread

'fall back' as feat. in the traxpoll definitely the best thing here by a fair way on a rapid skimthru

is this ciara a concept album about her new romance

opening track, just over breakup, gonna 'have us a good time', can see where this is going

i guess the fact it has a *concept* (according to this quick interpretation) means i'll have to listen to all of it

think i get this more than i once might have

'so turnt up' is kinda amazing

yeah that was a super solid album with elements of euphoric self-celebration that I won't deny

told a nice li'l story there has ciara, a story of her heart

parquet courts, o rlllly

this halfasses the raggedy garage-indie thing. needs to me muuuch raggedier. way too zine-ready, too prepackaged. eugh. enough.

i think i would find this music less loathsome if i wasn't listening to it; hence, bring on k michelle

Interested in this one.

lol hai spottie. what's allthis bs DiS indie doin' in the ILX poll lol

k michelle is pleasingly off-kilter so far, the first two tracks have both got weird production elements that play against her relatively straight vocal bat rly intriguingly - waiting to see how she develops. comes off as delightfully schizophrenic (sorry if that's an insensitive use of language erryone)

lol this next track is a fkn quasi-beatlesy chamber rnb thing :D

also her lyrics are much weirder than her delivery - kinda mad, but deadpan

also a bit mad @ u spottie as despite knowing me a li'l bit u did not send me email after email with 'danny brown' as subject and no other text at all

predictably, 'pay my bills' :D

um XD

'sometimes' was fkn epic, but then this

awesome

matt dc not otm

ah so she's a reality tv star from outside the usual canon, or at least her star has been made unconventionally

it shows, and i think it's to her benefit - this follows no formula except her own extremely idiosyncratic dream-logic

well, that was...something. faded a bit in last 2 trax but had already made its point. good record!

right, so...haha fuck listening to the arctic monkeys :D

nah ok, one song...but if u displease me then by god

*slumps face into hand* ok you guys, seriously now

right, so, i won't be doing this tomorrow. might just do one round-up on the actual pollthread. today's albums have been of terrifyingly and unexpectedly high quality & i'm fairly certain lightning won't strike 2ce in that regard

lol hai spottie. what's allthis bs DiS indie doin' in the ILX poll lol

i don't even know, I've displaced myself so far away from anything (new) with a guitar of late. Just don't care enough to even get mad about it you know. List is pretty cool so far tbf. Some metal, some r&b, some indie, some pop, some raps.

also a bit mad @ u spottie as despite knowing me a li'l bit u did not send me email after email with 'danny brown' as subject and no other text at all

SORRY. Wouldn't think it would be up your street but excited now cos I feel like this expanded pallet of yours is a good opportunity to make some good recs I woulda kept quiet about in the past.
