solitudeisbliss December 2012

Listening to siriusxmu's top 41 songs of 2012.

3. Oblivion
2. Myth
1. The house that heaven built
Shoey December 2012

this is the most underrated Clash song.
Shinobz December 2012
TTK December 2012

Discovering even more albums that I missed out on in 2012.

:|
Shinobz December 2012
TTK December 2012

to be honest. if I had discovered Waxahatchee earlier this year before I made my top of 2012 list.

I may have put it on top.

It's that good.
Shoey December 2012

I like that Waxahatchee album a lot, not enough that it made by list but it was cool.
dannyspiterijr December 2012

I'm going to listen to Alive 2007 for the first time tonight (this morning?), but i feel like should hear Human After All first, bad reception, because as of now I think I've only heard three songs on that album. We'll see if I dislike it as much as a lot of people seem to.
ribbit December 2012

come to think of it I've never heard that album the whole way through. Strange considering Homework is one of my all-time favorite albums, but yeah I just never got around to it.

Alive 2007 however is fantastic.
dannyspiterijr December 2012

Verdict on Human After All: it's relatively underwhelming and certainly feels somewhat lazy when measured against Daft Punk's first two albums, but I still have a hard time hating it. I definitely really enjoy at least a handful of tracks on it, even though it's not amazing as a whole.

I'm gonna save Alive 2007 for another time though.
TTK December 2012

I think Human After All is pretty awful.
dannyspiterijr December 2012

Don't get me wrong; I don't enjoy it nearly as much as Discovery or Homework, but I don't completely understand why many people find it offensively bad.
TTK December 2012

It's more of less of the huge fall they took.

It's not offensively bad, more just offensive to fans.

Like they said "Remember how Homework and Discovery were worked on really hard, and they gave you guys brilliant singles and each revolutionised the dance music scene? Yeah well it's time for us to put together a record and we had just 2 weeks to write and record it so here it is. LULZ"
TTK December 2012

After listening to the new Unknown Mortal Orchestra album a few times, I can say that I pretty much love it.

At first I was really annoyed by how there's 3 +5 minute tracks in a row in the middle, one of them being 7 and a half minutes.
But as I listened, more it became apparent it's intentional, as to make a slower psychedelic part of the record.
The 7 minute track might even be my favourite on the album.

Also the album is much more quieter and reserved than the selftitled debut which might put people off, but I love it more than the self titled.
Sequenced pretty much perfectly, start and end with catchy up beat pop funk tracks, with a middle section which is expansive, long and psychedelic. Really cool.
colony December 2012

Had this shit in my head all night
solitudeisbliss December 2012

None of these vids are showing up on my phone anymore :(
ribbit December 2012

@solitude DEAL WITH IT NERD
multitudeoffish December 2012

fk u. someone needs to fix this.

Im listenin to Boxer because I havent listened to itin a long time.
TTK December 2012

Absolutely beautiful track.
Dallasshaldune December 2012

Better than every 2012 album. #MahOpinionz
balmaseda December 2012

So much Each Other tonight...
balmaseda December 2012

its a live-vid kinda night... some dope body too
ribbit December 2012

@TJ song of 2011, no question about it
hedgeway December 2012

What I listened to in 2012.
veezus December 2012

This isn't counting the amount of time I listened to Death Grips in the car, which was exclusively.
ribbit December 2012

eh, here's mine. Kind of depressingly small. I don't scrobble alot of my iPod listening though, which is easily half of my entire listening when I'm at school anyway
ribbit December 2012

oh yeah and there was that week where I was really into Saturdays=Youth and that was all I listened to, lol
Shinobz December 2012

My Last.FM doesn't make a lot of sense but the Death Grips count is correct.
Shinobz December 2012

So I finally heard the infamous Madvillain album. Verdict? I like it. But honestly I don't get the hype. I really didn't know what to expect going in, so I guess it's good I didn't have any. I just let the music speak for itself. But I get that Madvillainy is special. MF DOOMS' delivery is totally different and the beats are kind of all over the place but good. I don't care much for the filler. I know it gives the album more personality but I think there was just too much. Also I don't really think MF is spittin some crazy lines. A lot of his stuff is decent to me. At least on this album. But whatever, I'm glad I checked out Madvillain. 7/10
Shinobz January 1

I took to my trusty iTunes and hit shuffle on Death Grips. First 5 songs of 2013, bitches!

Known For It

Biiiiitch Pleeeeease
Bass Rattle Stars Out of The Sky
Shoey January 1

look I love Madvillainy a lot, but Take Me To Your Leader is Doom's real classic, It's a real fucking neck breaker.
jdrummer3 January 1

First album I listened to in 2013: OK Computer (on vinyl :D)
ribbit January 1

@shin0bz no one really "gets" Madvillainy upon first listen. It's definitely a grower if there ever was one.

Though I probably agree with @Kyle that Take Me to Your Leader is better.
Shinobz January 1

I already like those three tracks more than what Madvillainy offered. Maybe it will grow on me but I don't see that happening, lol. I'm real picky on my Hip-Hop. I still think he's waaayyyy overrated. I'll stand by that forever probably. A lot of people consider JJ DOOM a classic and I think it's on the merit of MF DOOM'S name. I listened to it and was rather unimpressed. But I'll give King Geedorah a chance for sure. Those beats are so slick.
ribbit January 1

People consider JJ DOOM a classic? When the hell did that happen?
TTK January 1

JJ Doom was pretty forgettable.
Shinobz January 1

A lot of YouTubers when I commented my thoughts on how it isn't a classic or THAT good. But that's YouTube for ya. But it's the "power" of a name. That's that shit I don't fall for.
TTK January 1

well that's the people, not the actual dude. When you've done as many projects as DOOM you can't expect success on all of em, and especially DOOM where you know what you're gonna get with him, it's more about how he works with the production and the flow of the album, and that's where JJ Doom fell down, and became tiresome to listen to.
Shinobz January 1

True. I shouldn't remind people of people. They suck. But anyway, MF DOOM isn't that great to me and that's that. No matter how much work he's done. That's impressive, I'll give him that. But I feel that's all people are caring for. The amount of work and not quality. I get reminded that all the goddam time. Like I care, lol.
ribbit January 1

MF Doom is the biggest asshole on the planet, if that makes a difference to you.
Shinobz January 1

I think I read that before in the boards. But it's all the same to me.
TTK January 1

New project from the Macintosh Plus/Virtual Information Desk person (I think)
hedgeway January 1

Awesome garage/punk/hardcore/whatever band with pretty ladies in it. I'm sold.
ribbit January 1

listening to Spiderland for the first time
ribbit January 1

this is very haunting, in a "Street Spirit" kind of way
ribbit January 1

this track was freaking great too, especially the climax
ribbit January 1

I'm really digging on this album lately too. Might've talked about it already, but y'all 90's indie rock fans (COUGH@kyle) need to check this out
http://pile.bandcamp.com/album/dripping
TTK January 1

he already did
Shoey January 1

and didn't really like it, sorry Robby.
ribbit January 1

eh it's whatever. i like it :3
Shinobz January 1

What the fuck, this White Lung album is damn fucking good. How did I miss this??
Shinobz January 1
TTK January 1

A lot of Aussie indie music arrives and then leaves quicker than it came, this is one of those decent records left behind
hedgeway January 1

@shinobez I know right? First day of 2013 and I already found something that should have been on my 2012 list.
TTK January 1

@hedgeway not exactly on the first day of 2013, but like, around the 28th/29th I found that Waxahatchee record which I've been playing virtually nonstop.

It would have easily cracked my top 5. :\
hedgeway January 1

I hope you asked her if she knows Nick.
Shinobz January 1

@hedgeway Haha, yeah I'm a little baffled right now. I just really dig it. On my third listen now and I'm thinking to myself ".... I love this". So thanks, @hedgeway :]
TTK January 1

every one knows me
TTK January 1

fun!
hedgeway January 1

One of the most hilarious things I've seen was when one of my friends (in an attempt to get with a hot girl) start dancing like a maniac with her fat friend because he thought if would help somehow. We then referenced this all night.
TTK January 1

I usually hang out in the quiet sit down areas, and talk to the girls out there.

I've talked to some pretty nice gals.
ribbit January 1

yeah that Billy Woods album and the Pile album I talked about earlier both really deserved to be on my list. )X
colony January 1

pretty much
colony January 2

especially when you have shit like "free wine"
TTK January 2

that's why you get drunk before hand. pre drinks they're called here.
balmaseda January 2

@Ocaml

Dude... just go. That sounds like heaven.
Shinobz January 2

I'm checking out Mono's Under The Pipal Tree album and I gotta say, it's boring.
ribbit January 2

that's because it's their least good album. Go for You Are There or Walking Cloud and Deep Red Sky, Flag Fluttered and the Sun Shined instead.
ribbit January 2

even their sophomore album One Step More and You Die is way better, in fact this track verges on being post-metal, of all things
Shinobz January 2

I just experienced Scott Walker's Bish Bosch.... it was something. I like it upon my first listen but I have to give it more to really sink in. Obviously.

@ClydeNut How would you rate Hymn To The Immortal Wind?
ribbit January 2

love it, here's how I rate Mono's albums, probably.

1. You Are There
2. Walking Cloud and Deep Red Sky, Flag Fluttered and the Sun Shined
3. Hymn to the Immortal Wind
4. One Step More and You Die
5. For My Parents
6. Under the Pipal Tree
ribbit January 2

Hymn has the song I put on synchtube last night btw
solitudeisbliss January 2

Curtis Mayfield - Superfly

Also on tap for today:

Baby Huey and the Babysitters - The Baby Huey Story
Barry White - Can't Get Enough, I've Got So Much To Give, Stone Goin'
Belleruche - Turntable Soul Music
Boxcutter - Glyphic
Sepalcure - Sepalcure
Jamie Woon - Mirrorwriting
Scuba - Triangulation

I love what tokens.
balmaseda January 2

New album from Pat Flegel of Women

http://6cindy6lee6.bandcamp.com/album/tatlashea
Marsipolami January 2

@balmaseda: Cool, defo gonna check that out.

I've put off listening to Passion Pit - Gossamer until now. Could just as well have gone on without listening to it at all.
hedgeway January 2

@balmy Thx for the tip bro.
Austin January 2

fucking passion pit
hedgeway January 2

Your mom goes to college.
Austin January 2

Fuck, some college sounds great right about now. This hs shit is getting old
Shinobz January 2

I'm doing important things today. Like listening to 2 bands' records that I never sat down and actually listened to like Dead Kennedys and King Crimson. Yeah I know. I mean, I've always known about them and heard the praised singles and shit, but never a full album.
solitudeisbliss January 2

Man I'm really diggin' this Jamie Woon feller so far.
hedgeway January 2

I don't remember any song off that album except "Night Air", but it was pretty alright.
TTK January 2

what Mark said, that track's also co produced by Burial I'm pretty sure.

anyway gonna check out one of the staff picks from what;
Shinobz January 2

Checking out Mono's Hymn To The Immortal Wind. It's fucking gorgeous.
ribbit January 2

damn straight it is

(inb4 nick comes in and starts talking about how formulaic it is)
TTK January 2

thats just how I feel, I wouldn't have said anything if you hadn't baited me.

Troll baiter. :3
Shinobz January 2

ur formulaic...
ribbit January 2
colony January 3

Christ this new strfkr song reminds me of the good ol s/t days.
TTK January 3

ooh yeah. Got elements of that German Love sound that I've been missing from them.
Shinobz January 3

I usually don't like this kind of music but that sounds beautiful.
solitudeisbliss January 3

thanks colony. you're the best.
ribbit January 3

I liked their 2011 album but haven't listened to that band too much since then
solitudeisbliss January 3

First album dloaded in 2013...

still labelled it as 2012.
TTK January 3

check out their 2008 album.

It's got better single songs than the 2011 album, but isn't as consistent. It's like a handful of actual songs and then the rest is instrumentals and wordless "la la la" type tracks
TTK January 3

fuck no
solitudeisbliss January 3

how about

"who the fuck are they listening to?"
solitudeisbliss January 3

"how the fuck is that listening for?"
solitudeisbliss January 3

"listens: what the fuck are they?"
