Magazine/website/record store BEST OF 2011 end-of-year list pile-up

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

seems like something I'd dig tho

it is

popjustice readers have spoken

beyonce's 4 was the 3rd worst album of 2011.

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

they hate party rock anthem? fuck them

My top 100 of 2011, yalllll

pistol annies! :)

i would never ever have thought you were into nicolas jaar

haha why not!

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.

Pistol Annies album is so tuff.

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

Orchestre Poly- Rythmo-Cotonou Club (Strut)

Jon Pareles at the NY Times also went with this one

That should be Orchestre PolyRythmo

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

POX nico jaar:

wouh
a time for us
marks
the bees - winter rose (nicolas jaar remix)
ellen allien - flashy flashy (nicolas jaar remix)
space is only noise if you can see
love you gotta lose again
russian dolls
el bandido
no regular play - owe me (nicolas jaar remix)

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

maybe every artist should do this for lols?

pIsToL aNnIeS - h e l l o n h e e l s

tIm HeCkEr - r a v e d e a t h , 1 9 7 2

etc.

It took two hours to compose that post didn't it
