Joey B x La Même Gang "Stables"
Hahahahahaha wtf is this? Like you can decry excessive homogenisation and playlist culture all you want but then you realise that this year someone tried to make a spaghetti western afro-trap record and everything feels a little bit better.

i thought new patek was seen as boring + disappointing? anyway i think the pitchfork is good, for what it is, but then i dont care about robyn or mitski or serpentwithfeet so ymmv

the post malone troll is funny but it kind of sucks to think abt all the artists who get left off for the meme

i've kind of got bored with 'pick up', but it's nice to see 'itgehane' get lots of placings

not that they're related but they seem to be the two straight dance tunes that are appearing on a lot of indie-leaning lists
― my name is leee john, for we are many (NickB), Monday, 10 December 2018 11:45 (five years ago) link
Koze has been indie-friendly for years, but 'Itgehane' is this year's 'Inspector Norse', it's just been everywhere.

what is this year's bicep album equivalent??

Jon Hopkins is the closest I can think of but I don't think there's a like-for-like example.
― Matt DC, Monday, 10 December 2018 12:24 (five years ago) link
Could be the DJ Healer album tbh.

I don't know why I had this feeling the Alice In Chains record could be good and I'd missed out on some glorious 'return to form', but it totally washed over me (in a bland way). Next one on the pile: that J Mascis record that also completely flew under my radar.

Yeah, there's no bite to it.

I mean, it is in the sense that they were utterly lukewarm on them during their last album cycle.

They've been on the D so hard lately though

weirdest thing about the pitchfork list is that the highest rated track from sweetener was the title track!?!?Yeah — I love the song (being a resident of the Republic of Ariana-stan), but that seems like a bit of a ... “challop,” am I using that right?

bandcamp's started rolling out their album list

the specific singles are definitely a surprise -- I think I voted for "No Tears Left to Cry"

12. JIMOTHY LACOSTE, “SUBWAY SYSTEM”
I was wondering when this would happen.
― Matt DC, Monday, 10 December 2018 15:30 (five years ago) link
oh that reminds me, the other big surprise is "5 Dollars" over "Girlfriend" or "Doesn't Matter"
― aloha darkness my old friend (katherine), Monday, 10 December 2018 15:31 (five years ago) link
"sweetener" sucks. on the whole the list is pretty good though
― resident hack (Simon H.), Monday, 10 December 2018 15:32 (five years ago) link
“Snow Burn” gets a lotta love for a song with this “??” verse:
In Tennessee, the sun's goin' downBut in Beijing, they're heading out to workYou know the bar down the street don't close for an hourWe should take a walk and look at all the flowers
― underqualified backing vocalist (morrisp), Monday, 10 December 2018 15:34 (five years ago) link
I like Doja Cat, but "Go To Town" is easily the better track, think it might have a good position on these lists if (a) it hadn't been overshadowed by the Mooo! video and (b) that whole "saying 'faggot' is fine" / "Doja Cat cancelled" thing.
Still do not get 'It Makes You Forget (Itgehane)', it doesn't grab me at all, may try again.
― mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Monday, 10 December 2018 15:35 (five years ago) link
great to see cupcakKe high on that p4k list
go to down def better than mooo
― niels, Monday, 10 December 2018 15:36 (five years ago) link
doja cat had zero traction critically pre-"mooo" so i doubt it's overshadowing any of her tracks in that sense
― J0rdan S., Monday, 10 December 2018 15:38 (five years ago) link
I like mooo and appreciate what it's done for her career, it's just that go to town is a banger
― niels, Monday, 10 December 2018 15:39 (five years ago) link
the pitchfork list doesn't reflect a reality i recognize esp at it pertains to pop, rap and R&b but that's been the case for several years now... it's a good year to pick a crazy no 1 tho
― J0rdan S., Monday, 10 December 2018 15:42 (five years ago) link
i am a little confused by snail mail so high on the p4k list, "pristine" just sounds like fairly generic indie rock to me while "heatwave" is at least pretty good generic indie rock

xp i think there's even an interview where she said that's what she was going for. great song

i love the lyrics to "slow moon's rose"
― dub pilates (rushomancy), Monday, 10 December 2018 15:54 (five years ago) link
her lyrics have an awkward ESL quality that I enjoy, esp in "High Horse." "Space Cowboy" is the one I'll likely end up throwing points to though
― resident hack (Simon H.), Monday, 10 December 2018 15:57 (five years ago) link
xp ?? is that the Peter Blegvad song? not sure where the reference is in this thread
― sleeve, Monday, 10 December 2018 15:58 (five years ago) link
High Horse is not the best track on that album (it's decent, but surely not the best) but mostly it's not v representative, Slow Burn is
I believe there was something approximating board consensus that Love Is a Wild Thing is the best of the bunch
― niels, Monday, 10 December 2018 15:59 (five years ago) link
“Space Cowboy” is my favorite of the bunch; tho when I said that on the Kacey thread, I think literally 5 ppl. jumped in and said, “Nah, that song suxx!” — so, ??

"high horse" is pretty lame as the song off that ppl have galvanized around... every other song on the record is a classic tho
