it's way too far back for me to destroy my CPU by loading the entire thread, but whoever was asking for a parallel list with "writers' personal engagement with the music" -- assuming you'd actually be into reading this and aren't just trying to make a point, pitchfork did just that last year. (yes, I contributed to both that feature and this, but still): http://pitchfork.com/thepitch/tags/my-year-in-music/

Oh is that new Throwing Muses good? I should check it out finally.

yo pitchfork dot com ima let u finish but taylor swift made 2 of the best albums of this decade
― johnny crunch, Tuesday, 19 August 2014 15:33 (nine years ago) link
I still don't get the Taylor Swift hype.

In the end it sounds indistinguishable from the rest of the doctor's office waiting room style radio pop. Obviously though I am dismissive and never cared to listen closely or anything.

your carefully considered opinion is greatly appreciated
― brimstead, Tuesday, 19 August 2014 16:09 (nine years ago) link
i'd personally prefer a middle ground where the focus is still on the music (with an open, unpresumptuous subjectivity) rather than a "my year in me" format, but i definitely find this more rewarding to read than the official list, thanks

LTTP was my no. 2 choice I think but one man can't stop a tide.

by 2019 it'll shore up enough support to appear right at the end of the list behind Jai Paul's 2nd leaked collection of demos. i'm so excited and i just can't hide it.

I definitely never said it was carefully considered.

are there any good pitchfork people who aren't ilx ppeople? i never recognize any names. writing-wise.
― scott seward, Tuesday, 19 August 2014 16:29 (nine years ago) link
i also agree on LCD soundsystem
― LIKE If you are against racism (omar little), Tuesday, 19 August 2014 16:36 (nine years ago) link
u can like LCD soundsystem or taylor swift but you can't like both - mutually exclusive aesthetics
― Mordy, Tuesday, 19 August 2014 16:40 (nine years ago) link
why does LCD people never want to Taylor Swift?
― Now you're messing with a (President Keyes), Tuesday, 19 August 2014 16:51 (nine years ago) link
surely there are literally dozens of people who stan for both LCD Soundsystem and Taylor Swift on ilx
― some dude, Tuesday, 19 August 2014 16:53 (nine years ago) link
couldn't be
― Mordy, Tuesday, 19 August 2014 16:53 (nine years ago) link
I like both, but "stan" is maybe overboard. I readily admit they each have faults.
― Everyone's a closet ned. (Johnny Fever), Tuesday, 19 August 2014 16:55 (nine years ago) link
it's either trolling or the most absurd attempt at music-related conversation i've probably ever seen to assert that liking one artist in the pop music universe means you can't like an indie darling band, or vice versa. and this is coming from someone with little more than mild appreciation for both, at best.

Katherine-I really liked those 'my year in music' pieces, thanks for posting. especially the 'An Old Album I Discovered/Rediscovered This Year' part.
― campreverb, Tuesday, 19 August 2014 17:00 (nine years ago) link
yw -- I'm not sure on this but I think the format was mostly lindsay's idea? (speaking of good pitchfork people, though technically she's not there anymore)
― katherine, Tuesday, 19 August 2014 17:57 (nine years ago) link
i don't get taylor swift but i can easily see why people like her. i don't get lcd soundsytem and i have a hard time understanding why people like him
― marcos, Tuesday, 19 August 2014 18:03 (nine years ago) link
i mean people fucking love this dude
― marcos, Tuesday, 19 August 2014 18:04 (nine years ago) link
he basically lived out the ultimate dream of every schlumpy record collector dude
― ruffalo soldier (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 19 August 2014 18:05 (nine years ago) link
but he seems nice right? i've never seen anything bad abt him i guess
eh, he was seemed like a smug asshole. i have nothing to base that on except photos of him. i think it's singing style too, it's so obnoxious. it has that cocky swagger that associate with a lot of new york punk
― marcos, Tuesday, 19 August 2014 18:09 (nine years ago) link
actually i don't know if its new york punk because i really don't know much about new york punk it his voice is just really obnoxious
― marcos, Tuesday, 19 August 2014 18:10 (nine years ago) link
yeah i think you probably don't
― ruffalo soldier (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 19 August 2014 18:11 (nine years ago) link
like i listen to "north american scum" and i get just can't past this dude's thick, insufferable voice

― marcos, Tuesday, 19 August 2014 18:12 (nine years ago) link

in the documentary he pretty much just seemed to walk around in bathrobe and drink coffee and walk his little dog
i like LCD soundsystem just fine, i don't feel strongly abt them...as far as popular rock bands go you could do a hell of a lot worse i guess

p4k's lists never have anything surprising in them whatsoever, it's always the same shit they called bnm at the time of premiere + some pazz & jop 'hits' that they missed the first time around b/c they somehow forgot ("call your girlfriend") or never deigned to cover that artist at the time ("teenage dream").
