Best of 2018
 

turns out to be another earth year. just another useless circle around the sun, with all earthly life to further suffer senseless pain, stress, fear, pointlessness. the few people we love all die. we can only just hope to also die as soon as possible. therefore, my wish for my fellow netphorians is that you will all die, as soon as possible.

apart from that, some cool music has already been released. what are your favourite albums/EP's/etc so far and what are you looking forward to?

I think the Phantom Thread OST by Jonny Greenwood is my favourite so far, it has some absolutely gorgeous pieces. love it.
the new mount eerie album is probably just as good as the last one.

furthermore the following artists have already released nice stuff this year:
hot snakes
silent front
mike neaves
fred cracklin
the breeders

fuck yes. awesome stuff.

Jonny Greenwood is the most overrated person to ever live.

The new Ezra Furman record is tight.

absolutely, he has nothing on death cab for cutie

i just want the new sleep

everyone else can perish

You're 100 % correct. He's an oversaturated and predictable guitarist. The guitar work on half on Radiohead's discography is shit.

Pablo Honey
Amnesiac
Hail to the Thief
The King of Limbs

thanks dude, have you heard the album I was talking about though?

You mean the generic soundtrack Greenwood did for whatever is this years pretentious art-house movie? I dabbled in it, sure.

The one where he let an entire orchestra do the job for him? Oh wait, that's what he kinda does every year? Shiiet nigga.

whoa you are hardcore! can't wait for your next death cab for cutie type contribution for this thread.

Trasatlanticism > Anything Jonny Greenwood has ever written

this just came out and it slays

And I'm not really that big of a fan. It's just you keep pushing your shitty idiosyncratic/ hipster mentality that Greenwood is a genius.

lol ok a death cab album is only your #12 favourite album of all time though and I never called him a genius, you genius

So far have dug Yo La Tengo, Hot Snakes, The Shacks, The Soft Moon, Portal, Meat Beat Manifesto, and Hell To Pay. Really looking forward to new shit by The Body, Deafheaven, CHVRCHES, and Hop Along
