"Alessandro Bosetti - Zwolfzungen"

nice! so that makes dusted, the wire, and me big upping the bosetti.

its too bad that this is all i think of when someone references st. pete, FL, even if its a rapper named Skroodle

Wait, Michael Hurley is considered "avant rock" now?? (Guessing his records are still too slow and quiet for me regardless, but you never know. Still wish he'd make something like Have Moicy! again.)

if you get a chance you should check out the Ida Con Snock LP from last year, more energy than any Hurley record in, well, uh, decades.

i just sent the wire a list of rap shit that i liked. they alphabetized it weirdly (ie. Porter, Travis; Marciano, Roc) which can be confusing. i don't actually think that cam'ron and vado is #1.

whiney did you listen to 6 kiss specifically? i saw you lump him in with die antwood on that list where you rant about things you hate which makes me think you didn't.

Snubbing the Perennial Critics' Darlings Department: I have not seen the Magnetic Fields 'Realism" album mentioned on any poll, anywhere. This makes me want to go back and listen to it again. I don't remember a single song, or even a title, from it.

stephen o'malley's top 10 list from metalsucks.com is awesomeeeeee

STEPHEN O’MALLEY, SUNN O))), KHANATE, BURNING WITCH, etc.

Really? O'Malley is such a transparent poseur.

that's quite the li-brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

did anyone post the new york times critic lists

caramanica
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/19/arts/music/19caramanica.html?_r=1

Is that the only list on this entire thread to include T.Swift? If so, smh.

rolling stone, #13 & popmatters country list

didn't see the popmatters country. #13 in rolling stone seems begrudging, but ok.

don't see what's begrudging abt it. the 17 acts that placed behind her must be begrudged to the max.

rs has always reviewed her well

so this how to dress well dude's songs list is incredibly close to mine* (and quite a few other ilxors, too), i guess i should give his album a try?

*JoJo, Ciara feat. The-Dream, Wut, FILA, Alicia, etc.

2010 Breakdown: Top 13 Genre Lists | Shows | Movies & Books

Fuck yeah, way to big-up the Julie Christmas

That is a great list.

Thanks, it's a relief to be done. If I spent any more time re-listening and reconsidering most of those albums, I'd go crazy. Time for the annual massage to fix my neck. Since last night I've already learned about six more albums I would have liked to have considered, but I'm done. Apologies for anyone fond of the Grinch. I couldn't resist.

um, the grinch is a mean one iirc

Seriously though, great list. Ufomammut is def gonna make mine.

If anyone cares, my top 100 tracks are here: http://thediscography.tumblr.com/post/2390210144/michaelangelo-matoss-top-100-tracks-of-2010

Ooh yeah! Thanx! Do you have an album list anywhere?

I'm trying to figure out where to post my top 100 or 150 or however many it is albums. (Not gonna start a blog or even an ILM thread just for that purpose, but I want to put it somewhere. Maybe I'll just make it a comment on somebody else's blog, or something.)

start a thread here for it! and then start a blog.

Yeah xhuxk just paste it here.

Nah, that's not what this thread is for. I'm not a poll! Or even a magazine.

My extended singles list is such a mess I'm not even gonna attempt it. (I.e., the order's all out of whack, and hurts my head whenever I start trying to fix it, and in the past month or two I haven't even been adding new singles I liked. There's just been too many, and callibrating is starting to feel like work. Did manage a good P&J top ten, though.)

Oh pshaw. Just do it. Besides, don't you remember that rare X-Ray Spex b-side "Xhuxk is a Poll"?

Wherever you end up posting it, make sure you let us know, that is one I'll really want to see. I think you should start a thread about the blog you'll start to generate buzz website you've created that will provide links to where we can buy the book you'll publish which will feature the list you've compiled.

i think we should let anyone with the balls/deeplisteningskills to do a top 100 like chuck, matos or fastnbulb to post in this thread

Mine is coming Jan 3, btw :)
