OTM

xp I suppose the self-imposed part of the problem for me is a desire to get on with 2014 and not spend months combing through 2013 releases so I try to hurry the process.

Uhh, I'm really enjoying this Carcass album. What is happening?

Listened to this again this morning while heading to work. This is a really good walking around in cold weather album.

Who the fuck is lamp?

i love lamp

Will QOTSA place I wonder.

there's limited places for a lot of albums left!
i was thinking the same thing for a few of my picks which i presumed (if placed) would be out of the top 20 - so it's either gleefully high or woefully just short

chap, did you get the ilxmail I sent you?

tried to

Nope, nothing in the last few days. Try again at joe dot gooden at gmail dot com if you like.

wait i guess it's

20 KURT VILE Wakin On a Pretty Daze (653 points, 19 votes, 3 first place votes)

I played this album at least twice during optimal conditions (temp in the mid 70s, sunny, clear sky) and it failed to catch

always thought it was "walkin"

learn something new etc

i really like the idea of kurt vile and further i really like kurt vile songs but nothing about this album really grabbed me much

I do not get Kurt Vile at all.

sweet

i bought a CD from a subway busker last night tho cuz i thought it sounded like kurt vile but if he was actually a junkie

i like kurt vile a lot. he's cool.

I think I've listened to that Runners remix of that one Kurt Vile song like 20+ times tho

More than the album for sure

This did not hit me at all to the degree that Smoke Ring did

depends a lot on your tolerance levels for stoned hippy jams/slowed down Dinosaur Jr. I love it personally.

I have trouble getting too excited about KV but he's got some great songs.

enjoyed the last kurt vile but new one didn't do much for me

it's a really great album to listen to while baked on your living room rug

dug that kurt vile record a lot, was new to him at this album. haven't heard much of the older stuff "depends a lot on your tolerance levels for stoned hippy jams/slowed down Dinosaur Jr." is pretty otm, and i have a fuckin HUGE tolerance for that shit

kurt vile doesn't smoke pot apparently, go figure

also i'm a family man and he's a family man and i kind of dig someone making chilled-out stoned happy music for family men

I think I've listened to that Runners remix of that one Kurt Vile song like 20+ times tho

Envisioning this as the Khaled Kru/Storch #2 & 3 Runners, please don't kill my dream.

lol that's really surprising to me xxp

nah he still does, just not that much xp

"also i'm a family man and he's a family man and i kind of dig someone making chilled-out stoned happy music for family men"

^^^ otm

i keep thinking about curtain veils

also it's way upthread but i totally digging this classixx album, this is the kind of music i listen to in january/feb/march and just ache for blue skies and sunshine and warm breeziness and open air, right now in the winter this music helps and hurts at the same time

listening to the vile opening track and finding it rly hard to stomach that the album still has another 2 weeks to run

My #1! Played it all year, had never heard him before this (went backwards to Smoke Ring for My halo and loved that as well).

Wakin is the first KV that i haven't been really into

nothing is certain in this world but i'm as close as i can be to 100% sure that culture made for family men will never be for me

haha

Kurt Vile is as boring as week-old piss.

19!

sorry i'm very hungover right now

I think I'd have found this transcendent or some shit when I was younger, but it doesn't do much (for me, or really of anything at all) - pretty guitar jamming is not what I'm looking for right now. I can see you summertime bozos lapping it up though (yes, it is January, which does not help this album)

oh bloody ban everyone

wow this one surprises me, even the fans of the single seemed to have consensus that the album didn't live up to it?

getting v worried about some of my votes given the whole "lots of dead certs for too few places" situation now :////

What is a summertime bozo and how do I get to be one?
