tigermilk - belle and sebastian
simple pleasures - tindersticks

electr-o-pura - yo la tengo

miles davis - bitches brew

pfork was covering wayne by carter 2 iirc

and i didn't know the-dream had even blown up in the indie sphere yet when did that happen

omar and helg are doing something beautiful

pfork was covering wayne by carter 2 iirc

i don't think that record made a year end list tho

beethovan's 4th

SunnO))) - Flight Of The Behemoth

I was saying that indies were up on those records. You guys should stick to gchat for stuff like this.

you should stick to dchat, where the d stands for my dick

brilliantly, whiney has chosen one of ILM's few female posters to say that to

thread enters stratosphere

peacocks, why u mad

lol this is coming from the guy who posts on ilm only about what other posters are saying about music

haha is this really what u think???

fennesz - hotel paral.el

Jordan grow a little self awareness with your nerdy year end list baseball stats tendency.

i think j0rdan is more crippingly self-aware than anyone on ilx save myself and markers

i think that 'carter II' is flimsiest of all of these because wayne's critical profile in that period became pretty fluid between all the mixtapes & what not

dream & clipse are pretty inarguable tho

i don't even know what this means

don't really get how a 'crippingly self-aware' whiney manages to get out of bed in the morning n/m post threads like this on ilx...

on ilx of all places

haha touché

let me just say shame on a Pitchfork for including 3 of Brian Eno's awful pop albums in their top albums of the '70s list (and the David Byrne collaboration in their '80s list) when Music for Airports and On Land and Thursday Afternoon are on a whole 'nother level. and no fucking way does Another Green World deserve their 9.8 rating.

let me also say I HATE DRAMA & I don't care who started it, god.

btw mastodon got good again w/ crack the skye

no

whiney, can you tell us who is and isn't an indie dude? I think more people would like to participate in this thread, but they are concerned about not doing it right.

btw btw btw btw xasthur is not a good answer either coz subliminal genocide is easily his best, kthx

lol thinking of 'massive counter-examples' is kinda more fun

defective epitaph is also brilliant but that's post-SG. by then there was no saving scott conner. behind the corpsepaint he was...indie

sara, indie dudes (self-indentified or otherwise) can post all over this thread. I'm just saying it's not the thread to post about Yo La Tengo

Crack the Skye is a fucking monster album. Love it. Oh, here's another:

High On Fire, The Art of Self Defense

yeah, but who are "indie dudes"? Like, how am I supposed to know what records they endorse as classics so I can post about their mediocre taste and judgment?

art of pretend semantics

seriously Whiney, I don't know. I'm not indie or a dude, and my name is Sarah btw.

yeah, but who are "indie dudes"? Like, how am I supposed to know what records they endorse as classics so I can post about their mediocre taste and judgment?

check their twitter feeds?

OAKLAND

do their twitter feeds all say #indiedude on them? what if i accidentally check the twitter feed of a non-indie dude?

a preening cassette-hoaring holier-than-thou trend-hopping chillwave enthusiast like Lamp is exhibit A, probably

lol, so much trolling itt

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

like are we talking about organs of canon formation like Pitchfork or something, or the endorsements of individual indie dudes?

nmdh - on rmde island

lol @ the dude who started a thread to showcase how ahead of the curve he is accusing me of 'preening'

Shostakovich symphonies 5 > 10 > 4 is the consensus but I think but 4 > 10 > 5 is correct

Stalin was a milquetoast Animal Collective fan but even he knew that the Pretty Toney Album is better than Fishscale.

Shostakovich symphonies 5 > 10 > 4 is the consensus but I think but 4 > 10 > 5 is correct

It's 14 > 10 > 15 > 13 > 4 > 1 > 8 > 9 > 5 > the rest, as far as I'm concerned.

Oooooh, no 11? No Leningrad? Wow

For The Roses - Joni Mitchell

Also yeah, Shos 11 bangs wtf

10 is really amazing, the first mvt. is perfect in every way, along with 1st mvt. Bartok Music For Strings+ it's my favourite 'unspooling' in the canon. 2nd mvt. is fun when Dudamel does it; 3rd mvt. is good jokes I guess, the DSCH thing is cheesy; 4th mvt. well idk I read that at the premiere all the starving Leningradians ran out into the street crying with joy at its conclusion but to me it just sounds like a snooze alarm that won't quit

"For The Roses" isn't "light years" ahead of "Blue" but I do think it deserves much more love than the three more-celebrated albums that followed it

Listen I like For the Roses a lot but that is a wild opinion

FTR seems entirely in Blue's shadow and appears to be a bit of a blank spot, some songs are every bit as beautiful, fraught and confessional as Blue.

The 11th Symphony is decent film music disguised as Soviet agitprop. Not a bad work by any means, but it lacks the tragic heft of his less populist pieces. I like my Shosty either morbidly despairing or caustically mocking the powers-that-be, head-on, so I tend to gravitate towards his later material. Anyway, in keeping with the thread's premise, I do agree that the 4th is a better work than the 5th (I may even prefer the 1st, overall) but it doesn't top the 10th.

The new Idles seems like a pretty good example of this phenomenon.
