1) maybe 5 good albums on that list. why did nobody tell me there's a new jim o'rourke "pop" record?
2) blank dogs/tiny vipers/group bombino/juan maclean/∞
3) everybody here should listen to this, trust me hööp://www.mediafire.com/?sxnbnl1ujgm
4) i will probably get angry and send offensive pms to andyslash

[publius clodius]

there's also a new josephine foster album everybody seems to be ignoring, which is of course sacrilegious since she is one of the most precious beings in this particular section of the universe

[Eric Blair]

Do you like stuff from Sublime Frequencies publius?

edit I guess I should have asked other than that group bombino record you mentioned in your first post, jesus

[dean_r_koontz]

ban eulogy guys you must ban eulogy

[Eric Blair]

Dean have you ever thought about learning an instrument?

[ravenguy2000]

my favs this year were

jj - jj n° 2
Passion Pit - Manners
Emily Jane White - Victorian America
The xx - The xx
Animal Collective - Merriweather Post Pavilion
The Thermals - Now We Can See
J. Tillman - Year in the Kingdom
Fuck Buttons - Tarot Sport
Still Flyin - Never Gonna Touch the Ground
Bill Callahan - Sometimes I Wish I Were an Eagle

2010 already has the new Beach House, Laura Veirs, and Vampire Weekend so it's already better. And I think Surfer Blood is considered 2010 or else it would be on my 2009 list too.

[dean_r_koontz]

islands by the xx is pretty great. what a song.

[Eric Blair]

I can't remember too much of what I listened to from this year but off the top of my head I would say my favourite albums would have been the ones from Group Bombino and Omar Souleyman.

I also really enjoyed Emeralds, Oneohtrix Point Never, Sun Araw and Blank Dogs.

this is the album that probably grew on me the most. too many birds might just be my favourite song of the year

WHAT IS PITCHFORK
SONG FOR A SONG

[TuralyonW3]

the first half wolfgang amadeus phoenix IS awfully good

[Debaser]

After studying the top pfork list, I've only listened to 25 of the 50 albums. So I'm anxious to catch up. I don't subscribe to the pitchfork backlash that permeates everywhere I go. It's lead me to many many great discoveries.

Probably my most listened to albums of 2009 are Grizzly Bear, Ryan Leslie, The xx and Andrew Bird.

I should go back and listen to Bill Callahan again. I don't know why it didn't grab me. I'm a huge fan of his earlier work.

Has Vampire Weekend leaked yet?

never hear of any of them. What are they like.

[publius clodius]

pitchfork was a decent source for music recommendations before i developed a more individual taste. there isn't that much wrong with downloading all albums on that list or anything

there was just always too much they hyped i didn't like.

[Debaser]

There's plenty of pfork recommended music I don't like. I'm too lazy to find another starting point for new music.

[Dogfighter28]

Pitchfork list is full of uninspired indie pap, as usual.

My list includes Mastodon, Kylesa, Between the Buried and Me, Converge, Shrinebuilder, Sonic Youth, Flaming Lips, and Wilco. Haven't heard the new albums by Brand New and Tortoise but I assume they are good and I'm looking forward to hearing them.

the fame monster

[samuel redman]

Macy Gray

today is my birthday

[Debaser]

Both Pitchfork and Entertainment Weekly have MPP as album of the year.

[samuel redman]

it might be one of the worst pieces of trash ever put out

[Debaser]

nah, i think it's swell

[samuel redman]

i haven't listened to it

[Dogfighter28]

it sucks

[Dogfighter28]

people were leaving in droves at animal collective's bonnaroo set

going through the motions - aimless noise - poor body language - a failure overall
