ATTENTION TIM FINNEY

Strongo,
You know that "i feel you"
Is not the words I want to say to you
All that you have to do
Is close your eyes then you'll feel it too

Only if it were some sort of vocoded Zapp and Roger version.

...did you finally get the new Orbital album? And have you added me to your slsk list and shouldn't I add you and maybe you should drop me an e-mail etc.?

Ah! There are Mac clients now my friend, for I am Macboy too. :-) Drop myself or Elvis T. a line, or check out some of the threads around here, there's been some posting about them.

And yes, quite good, I just finished relistening to it.

Jess I want some reciprocal suggestions!

Ned I'll check that out asap - thanks.

How ya doin?

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.

Thanks Tim! I see 5 out of 10 of my own top 10. 7 if I count the artists from which I chose other song instead.

A shame there’s no writeup this year, would’ve loved to read your takes on them but the playlist is terrific.

Are they ranked in order? First time hearing this Cloth song and I loved it.

Not in order but in a vague attempt at flow, and I also tried to minimise overlap with other playlists I had made so sometimes the song chosen isn’t necessarily a standout favourite from the artist’s album.

But yeah the entire Cloth album is just really lovely, one of my favourites of the year for sure.

I keep finding great songs in here. Delilah Holiday - silent streets was off my radar and I’m currently obsessed with it.

Cheers for this and for your artpop playlist, Tim! Also loving Cloth.

thanks Tim, excited to hear your playlist. recently I'm taking a break from deep dives into older genres/artists to check more new music. like back in those lovely UKG days. whatever happened to r/t/c - does he post under a different name now?

thanks moka and etc!

This is the 2023 art-pop playlist etc means btw: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4WdPNCsDegk7ZdsdKwswwu?si=ae075c46ed50449c

Paul, sadly I don't know what happened to r|t|c, but he hasn't posted for many years now - and if he had changed user names I think we would have worked it out by now!

i miss him
