Owen Pallett -- In Conflict

lol this is an in-joke right

PRIMUS SUCKS etc

No way; I saw a photo taken from backstage once and he's not even actually playing music, he's just playing DOOM on his violin while he plays a WAV file

lol

tbrr though I had the priv of seeing him twice (twice!!) this year and it was v magnificent, like unexpectedly so, I mean you know it's gonna be *good* and stuff but

I am bummed I could not see the LA date, but such is life.

Dunno if it's the cold weather but I'm really starting to appreciate this now. 'Chorale' is gorgeous.

i mean like it's year end lists so you're a herb by definintion for even complaining but it is kind of bumming me out some of the really mediocre albums that are getting high placement on lists over this

yep. it's blates among the very best of the year, any way you look at it. and it seems to get better and better with each listen too.. maybe the latter is a possible reason it's not seeing as much end of year action as other stuff which is good on first listen but nothing much to return to.

46th best-reviewed album of the year according to AOTY

The fastest way that I can know a EOY list is useless at a quick glance is if it does not contain In Conflict but does contain the new Jack White.

^^ This. Or that dull as ditch water Beck album.

What if I told you Jack White played a major part in the production of In Conflict?

xpost

You can substitute Beck for White, sure--I'm picking on Lazaretto because a) I've heard it, and b) i liked White's last record, meaning that the inclusion of this horrible one on so many lists feels lazy to me. I'm sure the Beck album benefits from a similar "we can't *not* include this" mentality among Rolling Stone types, though.

"I'm sure the Beck album benefits from a similar 'we can't *not* include this' mentality among Rolling Stone types, though."

This is why I mentioned in the EOY list thread that I was surprised the indie types weren't doing the same with that Spoon record.

Not to derail this thread though...

Given't a shit about year-end lists when I get to play Queen Elizabeth Hall with my cool band and a sextet

wait before I watch that is it Tori Amos?

Tori Amos doesn't have a beard.

Damn damn damn I searched a listings website for any forthcoming London gigs a couple of months ago but this didn't come up.

srsly how many ppl are going to this show in Brooklyn on 1/29? Because from people I've talked to it seems like it's at least 45 or 50.

I am. Still need to buy tix but i hate paying the advance "service charge". Gonna hate myself if it's sold tho'.
Stevie D we should meet up.

Man. I wish I had seen him in Chicago. Saw him on the last tour at Lincoln Hall and thought he was fantastic and then ... eh, I just didn't get around to it.

should probably go to this show bc i don't have a complete memory of the last time i saw him (i blacked out and spent the majority of the show making out)

Dude I thought you were already going! YOU HAD BETTER GO
