Anyway:
Some random unknown group or musician will release a debut that beats the pants off any and every talking-point release that gets a 1000+ post thread here.

Songs that aren't really long and possessing of numerous sections with lots of sophisticated compositional changes can be good.

The new Lady Gaga album will have at least one song that sounds exactly like Front 242. Everyone will love it but shockingly, this won't lead to a critical reappraisal of Front 242's music.

also cast-iron certainty: Ned and LJ will disagree vehemently on which musician or group, exactly, releases this record

idk Ned and I have a decent track-record on agreeing about music and also I don't think we've argued vehemently since my first week on ILX 4 years ago

notice i said "disagree"-- not "argue" ;)
Ned plays it too cool to argue on ILX or anywhere these days, I take it

OK this is repostedfrom WFMU but I liked it:
Donald Miller - Borbetomagus -This coming October/Halloween season, you will be able to purchase in any of your local chain pharmacy or grocery stores, for $1.99 or less, one to five variations of a home studio, copyright-compromised “spooky sounds” CD that will beat the livin’ entrails outta 99% of the crap hailed as genius and/or made the the cover of “The Wire”, in this year 2011 ev.

listened to some Lounge Lizards for the first time after the John Lurie episode of WTF. The line between The Lounge Lizards and Dave Matthews Band is extremely thin.

haha hmm, i guess i'd have to cue up some lounge lizards to check, but that has never occurred to me.
― tylerw, Monday, 11 April 2016 18:18 (eight years ago) link
I guess my challop is that things like this:
https://youtu.be/0NdU11z1HXE
are not so different than this:
https://youtu.be/mhF3r9Z3CsU?t=2m10s
but it is a challop because Dave Matthews will eventually take a lead role in that music, and that won't sound as much like The Lounge Lizards
― We quickly ate the feast as to leave ASAP (Sufjan Grafton), Monday, 11 April 2016 18:32 (eight years ago) link
no muppet vocals in lounge lizards though iirc

Ah yes, J. S. Bach as counterpoint to the Enlightenment. It makes perfect sense. Anyway, everybody knows Mozart is the most unjustifiably worshipped canonical composer.
