as a long time black keys fan, this album is meh for me. i guess i only like thickfreakness and the big come up.
and i agree with Dan on the Deerhunter....don't get it.

I definitely would have had Voice Of The Seven Thunders in my end of year lists had I heard it at the time. Starting the depressing business of finding out what else I've missed today.
― Carl Jung Jeezy (Doran), Saturday, 11 December 2010 12:33 (thirteen years ago) link
Doran, Voice of the Seven Thunders is my number 1 for the year. Amazing record, and having months and months with it only makes it better.
― EZ Snappin, Saturday, 11 December 2010 12:44 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah, someone played it to me at ATP and sheared the top of my head off.

Hmmm, checking out "The Burning Mountain" and immediately liking the middle eastern flavored electric guitar.

I'm going to try the whole album. That song was the only one on their myspace.

i still kinda can't get over robert downey jr. playing my old pal steve lopez in a movie. too bad i will never ever watch that movie. but i have lots of love for steve.

i haven't been back since i moved. so that's like...almost 8 years? my whole life was there. it wasn't much of a life, but it was there.

there was some other piece exactly like that this year that was actually kind of otm iirc?
― mercy mercy me, that beanfield milagro (Whiney G. Weingarten), Saturday, 11 December 2010 15:49 (thirteen years ago) link
if i were 20 that whole thing would be otm. which is why i still find it kinda funny. cuz a part of me will always be 20. the dumb part.
― scott seward, Saturday, 11 December 2010 15:50 (thirteen years ago) link
I don't really miss Wawa or The Welcomat. (Is there even still a Welcomat?)
Anyway, I can see how a piece like that might be potentially funny, if it had punchlines. Thing is, I did not realize Hold Steady (hey, there's a band conspicuously missing from all the year-end lists, right? deservedly, but still) were considered a frat-house band. Is that really what their audience is now? When did that happen? Or did that guy just make that up? I assumed their audience was still mostly considered "rock critics."
Pretty sure Xgau said the Roots album is his favorite of the year, fwiw. And he's not even from Philly!
― xhuxk, Saturday, 11 December 2010 18:26 (thirteen years ago) link
i think welcomat got changed to the weekly.
― scott seward, Saturday, 11 December 2010 18:34 (thirteen years ago) link
i don't really miss philly that much. i did consider it my home though. i moved there when i was 19 and when i left i was in my 30s and married with a kid. i mostly just remember working a lot and drinking too much. and i left before i could hang out with any philly ilx people. but most of them left too!

i actually have chuck's top five albums for the pazz & jop this year. i know he's gonna kill me, but they are so good and nobody has really talked about them here. i hope he doesn't get too mad:
1. Johnny Truck & The Motormouths – Hardly Workin’ (Countryfried Records)2. Louella Hudsucker – Kountry Kweenz & Stone-washed Jeanz (Doowrong Records)3. Pud Wilkinson & The Homewreckers – Same Shit, Different day (CD Baby)4. Los Perros Sucios – Lio Partido Loco (Idiota Hijo Records)5. The Shipyard Scene: Forgotten Pub Rock Relics From The Vuosaari Harbor Region Of East Helsinki 1972-1974 (Stone Drag Reissue)
― scott seward, Saturday, 11 December 2010 19:41 (thirteen years ago) link
Man, WikiLeaks wrecks everything!
Thing you gotta understand about Kanye, though, is it's a concept album. By which I mean it directly references both "21st Century Schizoid Man" and "Iron Man", two songs that at least one person older than me told me he actually used to confuse back in 1971. How did Kanye know??
Seriously though my real Pazz & Jop #1 was listed on that list-of-everybody's-#1s link from Awl, and I will be really sad if I turn out to be the only voter who gives it 30 points (unless I only give it 25, I'm starting to waver a little.)

Why would you expect P&J voters to vote for bob seger as #1 album in 2010?
Good taste, maybe? (Okay, maybe too much to ask.)

haha it is the P&J!
― Algerian Goalkeeper, Saturday, 11 December 2010 20:06 (thirteen years ago) link
I suppose it would make a change from indie landfill or the big mainstream pop/rock. Everyone vote bob seger as #1 in a protest vote!
