What are you listening to?

[Fade to Black]

whoa nelly you just crossed the line big time

i never intended to have a death grip on the collective psyche...my face is faceless, my voice as delivered from the upper region of my throat as opposed to my lungs out of lifelong habit too thin to break the ice, and my text too monotonous and verbose to get that punch and bite that will sound and ring even when you read it clicks just right.

replace this lumpy image of a deformed, narcissistic but no less tortured and insignificant vagrant with the image of a voluptuous, successful, dynamic, multi-talented and even more multi-faceted in her curves which may well serve as the greatest monumental hills ever perched up when the body is laid flat on a surface, smooth like bronze milk. It ain't hard buddy, it ain't hard at all.

so i assume everyone has read the pitchfrok top 50 by now? considering it is PF i thought they ended up with a decent list but the top 10 seems a little odd. the TVOTR is decent but i have a hard time giving it any credibility since i miss the early days of that band. vampire weekend and m83 shouldn't even be on the list and fleet foxes, while certainly deserving of praise, at the top spot is suprising.

anyone know if the wire posts their lists on the web?

[doldrums]

pfork makes little sense.

Wire doesn't post their list usually but I tend to like/agree with them. My wife recently got me a subscription so I'll put the list in here when I get it...

vampire weekend and m83 shouldn't even be on the list and fleet foxes, while certainly deserving of praise, at the top spot is suprising.

How can you say M83 shouldn't even be on the list??? Have you listened to Saturday=Youth??? It's an absolutely beautiful album (and thats coming from someone who generally dislikes M83.) I Completely agree with Doldrum, Pfork makes little, if not no, sense. A good share of those albums are mediocre at best! And then they leave off incredible albums like The Helio Sequence's 'Keep Your Eyes Ahead'....

[Real Real]

Pitchfork's stopped being a place that I go to in order to find out about new music - I still look at it, but it's been a while since I found something exciting on it. For example, they hopped on Fucked Up and Jay Reatard - after ignoring Hidden World and Blood Visions when those two albums came out.

I am currently listening to Single Ladies by Beyonce
And my body can't stop moving.....

I've had an on-again/off-again subscription to The Wire for years now, and while I've never looked at the list and thought "wtf," I usually find it a little willful. And every time, there are a lot of artists who, if they've released a record that year, you just know are going to be on it (Autechre...)

Sin Fang Bous - Clangour

Iceland's experimental folk/pop, very nice, colourful and sunny for those winter days

Ouuu... I've never heard of Sin Fang Bous before, but I must say I really like it! Would you happen to have any more bands to suggest in a similar vein? I'm about to go visiting family in Wisconsin where I will have little/no internet access and no chance to update my music for a week...

ps. a couple of my current favs;
Everthus and the Deadbeats - Addicts Stuck in Traffic
The Asteroids Galaxy Tour
Heaven 17 - Best of
School of Seven Bells - Alpinisms
Bongwater - The Big Sell-out
Angels of Light - How I Loved You
Man Man, The The, Xiu Xiu, etc...

The Smiths- Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want

Good times for a change
See, the luck Ive had
Can make a good man
Turn bad

So please please please
Let me, let me, let me
Let me get what I want
This time

Havent had a dream in a long time
See, the life Ive had
Can make a good man bad

So for once in my life
Let me get what I want
Lord knows, it would be the first time
Lord knows, it would be the first time
