that and "emotional haircut" were the only songs that stood out (in a good way) for me

12 bald men solemnly sitting round a long dining table while their host wanders off to the kitchen to fetch some cheese, each of them straining their ears to catch the LCD Soundsystem record quietly playing on the Rega turntable in the corner. each of them lost in their own post-prandial reverie, as the soft electro beats waft from the speakers like a whisper in the breeze: "you are still down with the kids"

I know we're dying to get off this topic but the balding, doughy, white Hold-Steady fan contingent has always been there for LCD since their earliest singles because their songs (cf. "Losing My Edge," "All My Friends") specifically talk about coming to terms with being an aging hipster.
The fact that they stuck with them in 2017 is just a new generation inheriting the boomer tic of thinking your opinions are important/worthwhile and has nothing to do with TEH KIDS, who are busy eating ass and listening to teenage murderers on soundcloud

a crazy thought might be that people who liked them then are 16 years older or whatever.

Lol, eating ass is so 2014, grandpa

does doughy mean fat btw
― Bein' Sean Bean (LocalGarda), Monday, 20 November 2017 16:38 (six years ago) link
Eating ass. That explains the shortage of breath mints in my town.

I feel more than partly responsible for the direction this thread has gone.
― MikoMcha, Monday, 20 November 2017 17:05 (six years ago) link
these threads are always 90% made up of complaints about the tastes of critics who are old, lazy and bald
― President Keyes, Monday, 20 November 2017 17:08 (six years ago) link
and 90% of those complaints are from imago

Poor bald people... clearly not welcome in this thread.

I'd like to state for the record that I'm old, deaf, doughy, out of touch and lazy but I actually have a lot of hair. Most of it on my ass and shoulders and coming out of my ears.
― Doran, Monday, 20 November 2017 17:16 (six years ago) link
i'm old and bald, and i will say this is probably my laziest year

I don't see an obvious winner for the ILM eoy album poll as it stands so that might make it a little more interesting...OR could result in something like LCD actually winning.
― nashwan, Monday, 20 November 2017 17:29 (six years ago) link
there is certainly an obvious frontrunner for the ILM EOY poll.
for damn sure.
― voodoo chili, Monday, 20 November 2017 17:31 (six years ago) link
yeah it'll be in my top five and I haaate voting like eVerYoNe ElSe!!

An aside, there are some nice tracks on that Kelly Lee Owens for those who don't know - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzEaFeIwbuk

that kelly lee owens record is awesome
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Monday, 20 November 2017 17:37 (six years ago) link
idk which record lj is talking about
BRADLEY
― faked potato (Noodle Vague), Monday, 20 November 2017 17:37 (six years ago) link
One might say that being number 1 is in the album's DNA...
― husked, tonal wails (irrational), Monday, 20 November 2017 17:38 (six years ago) link
I might humbly suggest...
(they're talking about the fourth best kendrick album)
― sleepingbag, Monday, 20 November 2017 17:40 (six years ago) link
bullshit, it might be the best one
― imago, Monday, 20 November 2017 17:41 (six years ago) link
it might be
but it isn't
― sleepingbag, Monday, 20 November 2017 17:41 (six years ago) link
Third probs. Not really sure where I place it on my best of list, but consensus has been pretty good on it, so I assume it'll be the number 1
― husked, tonal wails (irrational), Monday, 20 November 2017 17:43 (six years ago) link
Ah yeah forgot about that one. Seems like a safe bet.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Monday, 20 November 2017 17:45 (six years ago) link
I have hopes for my own AOTY/AOTD contender cracking the top ten, that'd be something
― imago, Monday, 20 November 2017 17:47 (six years ago) link
oh wait y'all are talking about kendrick? all right i guess
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Monday, 20 November 2017 17:50 (six years ago) link
you were talking about kehlani up there I assume btw
― imago, Monday, 20 November 2017 17:50 (six years ago) link
both kehlani and kendrick will do very very well and no one needs to worry about them
― Simon H., Monday, 20 November 2017 17:52 (six years ago) link
WHo'll finish higher, Kehlani or Kelela?
― Le Bateau Ivre, Monday, 20 November 2017 17:53 (six years ago) link
Kesha imo

yep! tbh it's sorta tied with the lee ann womack
i also haven't heard the new miguel yet and expect it to be up there with both of them
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Monday, 20 November 2017 17:53 (six years ago) link
Kelela album is str8 fire tbh
― Le Bateau Ivre, Monday, 20 November 2017 17:54 (six years ago) link
kelela might get the benefit of recency bias and also being more winter-appropriate
― Simon H., Monday, 20 November 2017 17:55 (six years ago) link
(both are great and will do well I'm sure)
tt has told me good things about the kehlani and I do intend to give it a full listen soon
― imago, Monday, 20 November 2017 17:55 (six years ago) link
you'd really like it i think lj. second half especially is v strong
