my previous post was in praise of a song on your trax thread!

how come no one told me about this! it's amazing

I told you about it in the pub about a month ago although there's no reason you'd remember that conversation.

Re Mark McGuire, Is it a comp, wasn't aware of that. If so replace with:

Luke Haines - 9 1/2 Psychedelic Meditations on British Wrestling of the Early 1970s and 1980s. (Album)

The McGuire *is* a comp, but if you look at what's on it, it's all stuff that was "from the 2008 CDR blah blah blah - limited to 75 copies". It's stuff that was previously available to only a tiny handful of people and on a shonky format too, so effectively this is its first proper release.

troo

Yes, in keeping with our case by case position on comps, the McGuire is in for sure if that's the case.

Hmm, fair enough...I probably won't vote for it because it's not a "2011 album" for me but I'm fine with letting others decide for themselves.

Ha, knew the threat of Luke Haines would do the trick.

ALBUMS

Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks - Mirror Traffic

(7/25)

The new Drake cd is terrific!

Todd

Yes, I like things!

Todd

Things are so, so good, man. You know what else I love? Stuff. Stuff rules.

ALBUMS

The Twilight Singers - Dynamite Steps

8 out of 25 isn't that great of a score, but if that's a positive scre, try to imagine what a 25/25 album would sound like!

It helped me too!

Has anyone added their tracks to the playlist? If not I'll update the those from the thread later.

I added a couple, I'm trying not to confuse the playlist with my spreadsheet. I might miss including some noms.

these are the frustrating weeks for me - itching to nominate but forcing myself to hold off so i get to nominate ~lost gems~ after lovely fellow posters have dealt with my obvious favs

This. But seriously, a day in and 75% of my potential votes in any universe have already been dealt with, from CREEP/Nina Sky, to Dawn Richards, to Machine Drum to Patrick to Los Camp! to LoveLove v HateLove.

So now...even if I wanted to nominate right away, I think I'll have to spend time figuring out what lost gems to pick, since the obvious stuff has been mostly covered.

Also, is furnace mane j0rdan? or Rev? or someone else entirely...

Will do mine in 5 track blocks - none have been nominated by anyone else yet so some will have to miss out

furnace mane is Rev, right?

for a minute then i thought "huh when did lex start liking los campesinos? sandbox dun changed everything"

yes, rev

I haven't been tracking albums, but we're at well over 200 tracks already.

Sorry. Formerly Alex in Montreal, which was due for retirement. Especially since there was an all-lowercase "alex in montreal" who got confused and annoyed when I first joined ILX four years ago or whatever.

oh my actual god this young bleed album

Yeah it's great!

That and (curiously) the Wild Beasts album were my two big ILM-assisted discoveries in the interregnum between ILX and Sandbox.

for a minute then i thought "huh when did lex start liking los campesinos? sandbox dun changed everything"

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>:(

young bleed album is stellar - that and the cousin fik album are the two rap albums i've found recently that have really hit the spot for me

siiiiiiiigh wild beasts tim? really?

your indie side is heartbreaking

Why can't he like Wild Beasts in peace?

Re: spotify list
Sam - you'd added the wrong version of the Art Department track which I nominated so I've added the right one and deleted the one you put in there (at least, I think I have - I'm not really sure how editing someone else's playlist works).

cool

omg

if you havent played "Nyan Cat!" in Spotify yet, do so now and look at the progress bar
