PHREAK

I am never going to live that name down.

I'm not annoyed by the fact that he didn't like the songs, more so that he bashed somebody's opinion on something he hasn't even heard half of.

[Dogfighter28]

Drunk Girls is the worst song on the album and I Can Change is kind of a slow burner within the context of the album. Try "Dance Yrself Clean"

[Shallowed]

I didn't bash his opinion, I bashed the songs, and even then, I said i was indifferent to them.

[smashingjj]

god that's pretty bad

[cocksure]

i can see what people might like about that but i'd never listen to anything so annoyingly upbeat

actually i don't think many people here do. i don't know where pasta of muppet got the impression we're all these fashionable hipster types. pretty sure most of us like mbv, sy, vu and t (television)

[redbull]

i liked these ones

amanda palmer - radiohead covers EP
aziz ansari - intimate moments for a sensual evening
big boi - sir luscious leftfoot
castevet - the echo and the light
daughters - s/t
elsinore - yes yes yes
flying lotus - cosmogramma
grown ups - more songs
janelle monae - archandroid
lcd soundsystem - this is happening
whatever that major lazer/la roux thing was
punch brothers - antifogmatic
tallest man on earth - the wild hunt
toro y moi - causers of this
wiz khalifa - kush and orange juice

[eyesofruby32]

The Black Keys- Brothers
Darker My Love- Alive As You Are
Tame Impala- Inner Speaker

I would have included The White Stripes- Under Great White Northern Lights, but it is music performed from three years ago. The Stripes should have released it in '08. Good but not great.

[Trotskilicious]

Janelle Monae probably has one of the most original debuts of anyone.

redbull did you ever listen to her EP

of which I have heard "Drunk Girls" and "I Can Change". Totally unexceptional, indifference-inducing shit. And that's what your favourite albums of the year are up against?

What's so marvelous about the music that everyone is nominating? Are any of these albums by bands that make bleepy, glitchy, shouty, jangley indie cunty music and wear equally cunty neon fluorescent clothes, sunglasses indoors, and 50's greaser hairstyles?

so what do you have to offer as far as albums of the year?

i mean really all you're doing is wearing ignorance like some kind of awesome "i'm not a hipster" medal

fuck is wrong with you

Hipsters love that shit.

Any recent bands I like will be heavily influenced by that period, (Fleeting Joys, The Enright House)

I've never heard of either of them o no r u a hipster

My Bloody Valentine
Sonic Youth
Radiohead
Joy Division
Aphex Twin
Velvet Underground
Boris
Leonard Cohen
Sigur Ros
Pixies
Television
Neil Young
Dinosaur Jr.
Pavement

Hipster list.

[slunken]

that's not really a hipster list at all. AT ALL.

[slunken]

The Oneothrix Point Never album is top 10. Same with the Emeralds 2xLP. That's a hipster list.

[Trotskilicious]

well you're like so hipster you don't have anyone to hang out with

[cocksure]

the new emeralds is good but i reckon listening to it three times is enough

[slunken]

yea but there's all those 7" vinyls of out-takes though! /sarcasm

talking to j .elliot you'd think emeralds is like the doors or something. and m. mcguire is the lizard king.

[cocksure]

thats ok, i like the doors and emeralds about the same

[I'm Hardcore]

mark mcguire is pretty much god, in my eyes

You should take a dump on the stage. Tell Kevin Barnes it's from me.

[Trotskilicious]

i just listen to the music, man

besides, i really like Outer Space

[Astur]

For me, it is clearly Option Paralysis. I really haven't heard anything new this year capable of topping that. suggestions are welcome

[russian iha]

Prince's new album.

[peabody]

i don't know about Best, but my favorite album released this year has been "The ArchAndroid" by Janelle Monae. I can listen to the whole thing without getting bored at all, even 6 months later. i am so impressed by it. not everyone's cup of tea though, i'm sure.

i also really enjoy Body Talk part 1 by Robyn. same sort of thing as above.

teen dream by beach house, for sure.

[Trotskilicious]
