great to have you back Tim (been checking every day in hopes)!

Deej I have had two conversations about the TMNT brain this week!! Although not in connection with my surgery.

Paul I am about to unleash a massive post on Ill Blu written with you in mind.

nice -- im finally sending you that piece i told you i was writing awhile back -- should have it finished today

Excellent - I had been wondering what had happened to that.

re-Fantastic Four, I expect like me you share a certain Lex-envy.

Damn, I just saw this. Good to hear you're all right Tim.

And that Electrik Red review is great.

I've introduced around 15 people I know to them in the last month thanks to you and the rest of the Rnb crew.

thought that was gonna be a shipley post

Congratulations Tim!

Have you heard this mix?

http://www.mixcloud.com/unbongo/unknown-soulja-un-bongo-mix-2-november-2009/

It's kind of my favorite thing in the world right now.. I don't even know what kind of music this is supposed to be. To my ears it sounds a lot like 2-step, a little like bassline, a bit like dubstep.. but what do I know?

Ot maybe this is the "UK funky" that everyone's been talking about

Whatever it is, i freaking love it

I mean there's also some rap in there

And some dancehall. Judging by the tracklisting that's a fairly wide-ranging FACT-esque mix with bits of everything you mention in there. There's probably some funky in there as well although there aren't any names I recognise.

that electrik red review is great!

Jesus, Mess + Noise is like an AU P4K skin. Scary.

Tim, I love the series and I'm sorry to hear you're dealing with medical issues. Good on you.

Tracer, yeah that mix looks very FACT-y - there's lots of mixes floating around the internet from people like Julio Bashmore, Bok Bok, Princess, Mosca, Dub Boy and the like that cover similar ground. I haven't listened to that yet but how amazing is Major Notes' "Holy Ghost" (which is UK funky - most of the rest isn't but in related territory)? The bit when the vocal comes in toward the end is just A++++.

Chris are you in Australia now? Or have you just seen the first season? I'm really looking forward to Season 2 becoming available on the internet as I (like to) think it's much better. Mess + Noise is a bit scary, yes! I like to think we won them over at least a little bit.

I'm curious what you would might have to say about this Japanese dance pop song (3,117,287 views):

does tim finney still do his that was the year that was bit on ilm?

possibly

When does Tim Finney's first book come out?

Is Tim Finney now a big shot lawyer? I was looking for recent music writeups and came up empty-handed. There is however a very well-to-do-looking fellow of his namesake listed as being director of a law firm in Melbourne. Nothing on music or on Pitchfork in years, though!

Yeah I don't write professionally any more, but still try to do year-end write ups here.

Tim Finney why haven’t you made a 2021 playlist on spotify?

There is however a very well-to-do-looking fellow

That's all you needed to say, really. Not only do I remember all of us on a.m.a. going "What the hell, he's younger than all of us by some years and still knows nearly everything" back in the late nineties, but when I finally met the good man in 2002 I then thought "This is ridiculous, he's also better looking than all of us too!"

spotify playlist is coming

Tim F does not exit, he's a phantasm created by the ILX lab in the hopes of teasing us with the perfect listener and chap.

Excelente!

Are they ranked? If Olof Dreijer is your #1 I love that choice and it’s one of the couple of songs we overlap! I see at least 10 songs in there which are also in mine so that’s a bigger number than in past years and also I see several which I had never heard before.

Great looking list so far

Instant love on the Cassandra Jenkins track. Thanks for these discoveries!

this playlist fucking rules thanks tim for sharing!

Thanks all.

The list isn't ranked and I'm not sure how I would go about that if I wanted to. It's instead sequenced with a rather loose view of flow in mind but I have no idea whether it works for anyone else.

ATTENTION TIM F

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

Happy birthday!

happy birthday tim!!!!!

The best always!

Awwww thanks all.

Tracer I have been complimented on the CRJ t-shirt several times!!

HI TIM F

So glad it fits and chuffed that you have worn it :)

truly a hero. congrats

I didn't have the physical or emotional energy to do 2023 write-ups sorry (maybe 2024 will be my year), but I did make this incomplete/partial playlist of stuff I loved from last year:

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5h47izuNqetbkpyOumi8rk?si=0ae54b77556d4f99

Will try to call out a few in the EOY voting thread.

so much good stuff I wouldn't have heard otherwise! thanks Tim. enjoying Madeline Kinney right now.
