Dirty Projector's Swing Lo Magellan 1. On first listen Swing Lo was really underwhelming. It got better the second time around and continues to slowly improve. The only track I still find outright bad and messy is Maybe That Was It . 2. I wish the girls would participate more. David might be the on...

Top 5 Joni Mitchell Albums 5. For the Roses 4. Hejira 3. Court and Spark 2. Blue 1. The Hissing of Summer Lawns She sure beat Paul Simon by a decade with this experiment.

"Betcha" never thought about seeing some of these names around, so, riding the wave of that Call Me Maybe discussion (Albums of 2012 thread), here they are: The Top 5 Annoying Teen Pop Songs (Hard to pick among many; Careful to not get yourself humming one of those) Les Femmes 5. Spice Gir...

Any opinions on more recent releases like the Dirty Projectors' Swing Lo Magellan and Dead Can Dance's Anastasis or Twin Shadow's Confess?

I've always thought a hipster band was someone you tell other people you like so they'll be impressed with your musical taste...as opposed to your ACTUAL musical preference. :D I realize that sometimes the two may overlap, however... I also use this way! :D It's a very confusing term. There are tho...

Albums 1. Tindersticks - Tindersticks (II) Finally! I'm looking forward to see this record getting some love. My Sister is Black Humor at its very best - and a very touching best!

Adaptations of Hairspray might have been well received, but I still believe that they lack the excitement and joy that the 1988 original brings to the screen. A much successful satire of Retromania and a stronger medium for subtle social commentary than any of the versions that followed, the origina...

The game is over for now. Everything about the game was described in this thread . A test season was held a few weeks ago and the first "real" season had a voting frame of two days that just ended. If there is any interest I will follow up this with a second season, in the autumn or next ...

I really want to play this game, but (get ready for it):

1. I don't know which thread has the rules, so, I don't know how it works! - though, I suspect, it involves voting
2. Can new players join in?

Obrigado for now!

Cool story! And Honorio, this was also my first King Crimson album! And yes, it also isn't my favorite anymore. :D Perhaps I should put the blame on the Moderately Acclaimed games from last year, but I guess it came a little before that game started. I have this "thing" of checking possibl...

Then both of us are! I guess someone "time-machined" the forum. I do remember receiving an error message while trying to access it a couple of days ago. Maybe it has something to do with that. Time (The Reverter)

You've got to hand it to Rolling Stone; There's no one doing lists like them these days. We could make a case of NME including Azealia Banks's 212 or Lana Del Rey's Video Games inside their top tracks of all time list, but Rolling Stone put them to shame on basically every single level possible.

Some samples from 2012 stuff I've been listening. I liked these records. Samples from others, unfortunately, weren't available at Youtube as streams, so I'll try to find something from them later. Bowerbirds' "Tuck the Darkness In" from The Clearing http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emWJCy5PM...

I might get blasted for this, but does anyone else think Call Me Maybe is kinda sorta the greatest pop song in recent memory? It has proven to be divisive song when some friends and I are talking about mainstream pop, but I agree with it! Radio is so boring these days will all those David Guetta/Ca...

Great story. And as a Brit, it always strikes me how well people on AM speak English. You find it easier and are more informative talking about music than I am, and I speak the language on a daily basis! Mind boggling Thank you very much.

Count me in as well. Utterly blew me away, and I can't even say I was a particularly big fan before. "Werewolf" is the best song I've heard all year. "But we can still support each other, all we gotta do's avoid each other/Nothing wrong when a song ends in a minor key." Wow. And...

Mine was a little different than that :whistle: When I was a kid I didn't care so much about music at all. I was an usual kid loving japanese cartoons and Pokemon.

It's too bad you are in Brazil HRS at least in a record buying sense. I'm sure it's a fantastic place to live. It's crazy how cheap records are in some areas of the states. I'm sure they aren't that cheap in New York, and I've heard Ameoba has a ton of selection but the prices aren't fantastic. But...

3. I've Told Every Little Star (from Mulholland Drive) There's not many like Lynch who can take innocent songs like In Dreams and put an image in your head every time you hear the song that's miles away from where the song goes.

So, I decided to start my collection. I have 5 records so far and i'm advancing slowly.

I was listening to some records for this poll and I gave another check on Jeff Buckley's debut. Always found Grace overrated.

I'm trying to decide if I just hate the music trends right now or if I'm losing touch.

Just awful, like 100X worse tha...

I was never a record buyer. I always believed that iPods were stuff that dreams are made of and the future of a whole industry in my hands. I always thought that there was no need for buying CDs if i had the exactly same thing as a digital file i could carry anywhere - and paid a tiny minimum for it...

Chromatics's Kill for Love is my new favorite album of the year. Solid record all the way through backed by a breathtaking execution.

@HRS: How was Queen of Wave ? And The Shins, for that matter. Queen of the Wave was enjoyable, but not as inventive as I hoped it would be. "Just" a great listening. Not sure if i'd give a 7 or a solid 8. I enjoyed The Shins's, at least more than other opinions exposed here. I must say th...

Didn't expected at all! I thought Like a Prayer would be ranked higher because in other Slant lists Madonna albums usually are placed in the same range, and this time we had one in the 60s, another in the 30s and Like a Prayer. I guess vote-split was a reality to some acts (Pixies, Janet Jackson, So...

Perfume Genius' Put Your Back N 2 It and Sharon Van Etten's Tramp are the best albums by singer/songwriters i've heard this year, so far. They are consistent, attached to great phrasing and delivery and well-executed/produced. Yeah, it's been a slow year. I guess i'm waiting for that sonically ambit...

My list looks like this: 1. Grimes - Visions I am BillAdama, by the way. Last forum around you talked about Anais Mitchell :D Her previous material is more basic and less lushuous than Hadestown. The writing is mostly great and the melodies are well built, but they are all very simple and with few ...
