Connan Mockasin album is decent psych-pop, but is also a 2010 album rereleased in 2011 under a different title (was previously Please Turn Me Into The Snat, so you can see how a change helped).

Funny how everyone scans over the metal list as "oh, well, they just cover metal so of course they're gonna have a list full of metal albums" yet every time something that just covers shitty indie has a list made up of shitty indie people are LIVID.

container album on the fact list is excellent too. check out the track 'dissolve' cos that is a banger

Also the Haxan Cloak album, though I do need to listen to it a bit more.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. – It’s A Corporate World

this... this is a real album?

OH NOES, Tuesday, 29 November 2011 16:17 (twelve years ago) link

FACT list looks cool, though I've only heard two albums so far. But to be fair, I've only heard 5-10% on most of these lists...

i need to hear that Haxan Cloak album, actually

gov. brownback blows a lot (henrietta lacks), Tuesday, 29 November 2011 16:23 (twelve years ago) link

it's okay but not all that great - the roly porter record makes a better fist of the strings plus menacing ambience thing imo

Yes.

The pre-album EP was really good, but the album doesn't hang together so well.

35: JON BROOKS - MUSIC FOR THOMAS CARNACKI VOL. 1

This sounds like total emil.y bait:

This remarkable, digital-only album by Jon Brooks – best known for his work as The Advisory Circle on Ghost Box – might just be the last word in hauntology. Under a title that nods to the supernaturally-attuned detective of William Hope Hodgson’s pre-war fantasy fiction, Brooks presents 27 perfectly-formed miniatures of occult ambience, queer-pitched radiophonics and pseudo-classical whimsy. An absolute delight.

if everything you like conforms to "acceptability" in whatever your social circles are, and you are an adult, you are maybe doing it a bit wrong

― degas-dirty monet (lex pretend), Friday, December 30, 2011

Social circles defn of acceptibility often isn't static but gradually morphs tho? That group-shift is pretty interesting, I often don't notice it happening then suddenly realize

In the last few years I've felt my own taste move (in relative position) from being kind of one the outside of the social circle (too dry) to being central/integral to the social circle to outside again but in a different way (but this time not dry enough)

but then,

The social circle gradually changed
the taste of the people in both the newer and older sections of the social circle also changed during that time
I gradually changed also

What is tasteful today is tacky tomorrow and viceversa

Reading the blurbs on that ISM countdown makes me think I should listen through the whole list. The only ones I know are Escort, Floating Points, Ital and Anthony Shakir/BBC and they're all superb.

Is there a Firefox plugin or somewhat that extracts Youtube links from a webpage and turns them into a playlist? There should be.

To my mind the main relationship b/w bourdieu and pop(tim)ism is the idea that r'ships between social groups and pieces or types of music are there to be interrogated rather than generalised in order to bolster yr opinion.

r'ships may have been my father's nickname in grade school

not a bad list imo, plenty of stuff I don't care about but it doesn't seem manipulated or focusgrouped in whatever way

Extreme Lifestyle, Saturday, 31 December 2011 14:06 (twelve years ago) link

Thanks!!

Surprised Mastodon won yet I couldn't see else in the list who would win. Yet again Uncle Acid have been ignored. Maybe next years lists will see them mentioned once its out in the USA.

wasn't the Uncle Acid an edition of a couple of hundred? Not surprising that lots of people overlooked it.

apparently ppl download stuff nowadays or so I'm told

I've still not heard it cos I was so IA at the eBay disposable income prickery / standard Rise Above dick moves

I thought the YOB album would be higher in the Terrorizer poll actually. Pleased to see Today Is The Day in high.

too tasteful, too pretty maybe? idk

still think he's maybe one of the artists i've discovered in the past 14 months who's most blown me away but if i was to put together a list of reasons/tracks why, the album would not constitute many of them.

degas-dirty monet (lex pretend), Saturday, 31 December 2011 20:28 (twelve years ago) link

Pistol Annies album is so tuff.

Lord Sotosyn, Saturday, 31 December 2011 20:36 (twelve years ago) link

Glad to see Seun Kuti sneak on on there. I've been listening to the Matana Roberts this week, and it's definitely fascinating, though parts are also excruciating.

Lex OTM wrt the Jaar album.

Whiney, Bob Boilen from NPR radio/website All songs Considered site, and the afropop.org site all chose the nice understated kora and cello duet album Ballaké Sissoko & Vincent Segal - Chamber Music (Mali and France) - (on Six Degrees)

It's growing on me but I went elsewhere with my African music choices

Another Suburbanite, Sunday, 1 January 2012 15:05 (twelve years ago) link

Orchestre Poly- Rythmo-Cotonou Club (Strut)

Jon Pareles at the NY Times also went with this one

Another Suburbanite, Sunday, 1 January 2012 15:15 (twelve years ago) link

That should be Orchestre PolyRythmo

If they had gone with the full TuneYards style lettering they could have made more lists
