die antwoord??? salem??? wtf

Plus, that Rangers album is Salem/Antwoord for The Wire set

also wtf at the wayne/nicki song that he1geson aptly described as an mxpx b-side

I know how the snowball effect works, but I have to say it was brave Lewis & Clark shit for the first rock critic who ever played a song by something called "Ramadanman"

"Hmmm, this sounds fucking terrible, I wonder what it is"

mxpx = magnified plaid?
not sure I get the reference

uh, i think you got the reference

Knowledge Reigns Supreme Over Nearly Every One?
not sure I get the reference

KRS-OneO

haaaaaa

"Alessandro Bosetti – Zwölfzungen (Sedimental)"

yeah, you go, moka!

i honestly thought i would be the only person putting this on a list. its nice to be proven wrong.

chillwave split:
KRS-OneO/ooOOooooO

I'm always curious about Ferraro's albums, but have yet to find one that really stands out for me

Altered Zones best of the year: http://alteredzones.com/posts/642/2010-albums/

http://cdn.pitchfork.com/media/OESB-49-ANV-452x452.jpg

lol

dont really get the bj parade put on for olde english spelling bee this year & that rangers album sux

why couldn't half of these ppl put their band/s name or the album title on their album

There's four Olde English albums on that list and they are all straight dogshit.

autre ne veut is the only one i have time for, really, & its still not as a good as 'last american hero' or 'dagger paths'. i mean i like the aesthetic that list is pushing forwards more than most ppl on ilm but its just so lazy & insular (lol) \

i have come around on the mark mcguire record though, & think its really fine

also kinda disappointed that no1 seems to feel the really tremendous outer limits recordings lp on not not fun. sun araw is p w/e

i mean, the laziness is what bothers me the most about it. Like, I love woozy synths and nostalgic keychanges as much as the next guy, but like put some fucking effort abd passion into it, you clowns. I know you're all of the "Nickelodeon Guts" generation and mom raised you all to be special little snowflakes but fuck

Of the Altered Zones aesthetic, I mainly enjoy with the Majuere/Zombi axis side of things, love Zola Jesus, like Nite Jewel, Emeralds too

Mark McGuire album is awesome and 'brothers' is a song for the ages.

The 20jfg list is up and I would link to it if I could operate this dumb ass web gadget.

It's basically more of that sort of thing btw

http://www.20jazzfunkgreats.co.uk/wordpress/2010/12/21/20jazzfunkgreats-best-of-2010-paranormal-beauty-contest/

I can't get into the Mark McGuire.

Although I am relived his name is actually his name and not WHOA RECONTEXTUALIZING ish like "Hype Williams" or "Phillip Seymour Hoffman" or "Dale Earnhart Jr Jr"

i like that autre ne veut disc a lot. not sure why you'd think that it lacks passion and effort. the vocals are a little detached, i suppose, but i'm guessing that's more about the guy compensating for his limitations as a singer?

ah, i think i read someone going on-and-on about how good a singer that guy is. show's how little i know, i guess.

McGuire was my dozing off album for ages, and it wasn't until one night recently when I wasn't sleeping too well cos of sickness that I heard 'Brothers' for the first time and I basically sat bolt upright and punched the fucking air and my heart was glad and then i threw up in a bin.

Die Antwoord, "Jou Ma Se Poes In 'n Fishpaste Jar"

cmon guys this is a cool song

didn't they sing the taco-bell song? maybe that was das racist?

wtfk.

That was Das Rascist.

i don't get that band at all.

wtf, I'm enjoying a Die Antwoord song

delete everything

nooooooooo

;_;

like seriously, I have no idea how this happened and I feel like I've been compromised by aliens

wow

just wait til they play a juggalo gathering and you need to go

it's like a bearable version of SALEM

this mcguire album is actually quite good. there will probably be some kind of karmic retribution against me for saying this but it almost has a hejira/mingus joni type ambience. a chillwave explosions in the sky is probably a better analogy but it's been a really good cold winter afternoon listen.
