2010 Magazine's Albums Of The Year Thread For Posting Lists and Discussion

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/

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

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.

Something about the drifting dreamy mood of it reminded me a lot of Popol Vuh.

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

No idea what that means, but I've been enjoying the Rangers album. How many lists did it appear on? One or two at most?

i listened to the rangers album and was distinctly unimpressed, and i'm usually predisposed to digging that sort of thing

i find die antwoord tolerable because 1. their 'irony' is actually supposed to be funny+entertaining rather than just a lazy curtain to hide behind and 2. they are pretty catchy and fun

which fucking mcguire album am i supposed to listen to? dude came out with like three this year? thinking thats not a good sign...

I only know of two, the new one in question here and a reissue that was a compilation of some older stuff (and really great, fwiw).

The one on Mego called 'Living With Yourself'. Haven't actually heard any of the others. xp

it took me til just now to figure out that oOoOO is a completely different band from OOIOO

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"

"Hype Williams" as a name really annoys me.
