when i lived in an isolated rural place, all the "cooler" people listened to a lot of Madvillain and that kind of thing.

Depression Cherry by Beach House is the #1 choice in Indonesia. Sophie apparently huge in West Virginia.

imagine looking at that list and picking out Phoebe Bridgers as the bad thing

Imagine having 25 years of music to choose from and thinking a Phoebe Bridgers record is among the best.

I think 69 Love Songs is the only album on my ballot that made the list... I thought that was a super-Pitchforky choice, but it came in pretty low (#108).

re: phoebe bridgers ranking that high, she's huge among young people so it's not surprising at all?
really, if anything, the results are just boring. i love a lot of the records here so i'd feel a little silly (and condescending) criticizing the website's readership, but there aren't many interesting surprises. i was about to say something like "at least it's not as male dominated as the 2012 people's list!" and then I noticed the top 16 are all men

Really disappointed Pfork’s review of the new live Coltrane set makes no mention of how much drum-n-bass is derived from this music.

lol at calling the very vanilla new charli track 'avant-garde', like there are certainly charli tracks where that's a bit less of a stretch but ... ?

did they call her "the future of pop" for the 7th year in a row?
― alpine static, Friday, 5 November 2021 03:23 (two years ago) link
no but she's not even aspiring to that here for once
― ufo, Friday, 5 November 2021 04:12 (two years ago) link
Yes, the two recent singles are less "avant-garde" than anything she's done bar "Sucker", and more anonymous than that album too.

Like Bob Dylan post-motorcycle crash, doing everything he could to discourage the press and his fan’s interest only to increase his enigmatic appeal, Yorke struggled against the straitjacket of his band’s grandness only to feel it pull tighter.

Ugh just read that kid amnesiac review. I grunted at this piece of fan fic:
Perhaps no single song encapsulates this mix of aimlessness and invention, the will toward prettiness and the losing war against it, as neatly as “Like Spinning Plates.” In the studio, they were grimacing their way through another demo—the chord progressions were somehow insulting, too obvious. Thom Yorke, always quick with a withering aside for their own material, dubbed it “dodgy Kraftwerk.”They couldn’t stop messing with it, however. No idea the band generated, no matter how wispy or maddeningly incomplete, seemed to stay away forever. (Yorke apparently wrote the bassline for “The National Anthem” when he was 16, and it sounds like it.) Their song fragments were like sick dogs that wouldn’t stop limping after their masters. So there was Greenwood, messing around with the latest playback of that pretty ballad. Out of boredom, a fit of pique, whatever, he played it backwards.Yorke, who was nearby, was transfixed. He crossed the room and demanded to hear it again. The track, played backwards, sounded like it was sucking nearby debris inward and pulling everything down with it. Yorke sat down and wrote a new song on top of his upside-down old one. But the backwards/forwards vortex seemed to have inspired a fever. So he sang his own lyrics backwards, on purpose, live. Then he reversed them so we heard them forwards—a subliminal message, just like the hysterical censors told us there would be when we played our records backward. But there it was, floating on the surface like a plastic bottle on the ocean.
