I read quite a long and detailed review of his live show recently, though it wasn't the Honorio review above. I'm not sure where, but it was nothing but absolute praise. I really hope I get the chance to see him, soon. Enjoy!! I'm going to see one of my favorite live acts, Peaches, again in November...

I'm working on watching my last two films now!! Probably not going to get to write comments, I'm sorry. I'll try to post them with the results.

I had so many issues with the film. None of them major, but enough to still bug me days later. - I thought the music was completely wrong, and gave away a lot early on in the film (when I wrote my initial comment I was about 10 minutes in and the 'Rabbi' had been thrown to the ground with a huge swe...

I have been working towards watching as many films as possible before the deadline. Will probably run until the last minute (I have Thursday and Friday off!!). The Squid and the Whale is my highest ranking new entrant, I was hooked from the first sequence. I'm watching Inside Man and it's the first ...

Some thoughts Access: Until recently, trying to grab hold of many Pre-WWII recordings would have been difficult. It's a vicious cycle, where once a generation fails to protect/update the cultural capital, it falls into a state of disrepair. Not to mention the technology/quality wasn't particularly a...

Kayne West pushes boundaries*

*all for the low price of a Tidal subscription

Maschine_Man

Ganggajang - Sounds of Then (This Is Australia) - because I miss home and I forgot about this song until last week.

&

Orange Caramel - Catallena - because I want to be a K-Pop superstar and the song was just put on Spotify.

^ On a slightly related topic, how many people go to concerts on their own? I thought it was a pretty normal thing to do, but I get odd looks when I tell people I'm going on my own. You always end up meeting someone and chatting anyway (or maybe I'm just overly friendly?) I did end up getting a tick...

I really enjoy the new track, such a sucker for that creepy circus feel. Every listen I hear something new. It will be interesting to see how it fits into the rest of the album.

Maschine_Man

Will fourth that Avalanches nom!

I also want to nominate the new Beck song "Wow"

Maschine_Man

39 songs!

I got tickets to see The Avalanches next week. Might see them again on Sunday if I go to the Field Day! (Along with PJ H and John Grant, I'm just waiting for the set times)

Maschine_Man

Sorry for causing worry, I don't actually think that's how they chose the list! If I had to guess which songs would appear in the top 20 of this list, the three I pointed out would have been at the top. Max always had interesting countdowns that were quite knowledgeable within their confines (songs ...

Maschine_Man

As someone who has watched way too much Max TV, this list looks like their most played music videos of all time, rather than an attempt at a critical list. I wonder if the videos the Beatles produced were never licensed as music videos, hence their glaring omission. 23. YOU'RE THE VOICE - JOHN FARNH...

I nominate Metronomy, Old Skool!! It's my jam this week, very much looking forward to the album.

Maschine_Man

So I'm watching the "Lemonade Video Album". While no one could claim it isn't ambitious, I think it falls short. While there are recurring motifs and filming styles, I don't think it was edited together with the finesse it needed. There are two or three more ideas than is needed, and the f...

That's alright. Do you mean before or after No Country for Old Men (#8 or #9).

I'm not doing very well at this whole numbers thing at the moment!

#8 it is

Maschine_Man

I'll take Fitter Happier at #76 as a win.

I can transcribe it later on tonight when I get back home if no one has started on it!

Maschine_Man

Laziest track listing ever.

I have had a couple of listens, nothing has stood out in particular, but that's how it goes with Radiohead albums for me.

Maschine_Man

I give this album 5/5 YASS QUEEN's.

(I do want to write something serious about this album once I have digested it more, it's excellent start to finish)

Maschine_Man

I'll push it down to #9 if that's alright!

Is anyone else listening to the BBC stream? http://www.bbc.co.uk/events/e94gwh/live/cbrbj5

A nice end to an awful day at work.

The White Stripes were my first serious musical love, and Elephant is probably the album I have listened to the most in my life. I would listen to it on repeat all day for weeks when I was younger, so every bump of Toe Rag Studio is ingrained into my head. Pretty much all of the songs fall within my...

Maschine_Man

To me the most interesting thing about the album, as I have still yet to listen properly, is the insane level of detail in the credits for each song. Does anyone get the feeling this is a reaction to the Blurred Lines lawsuit?

Hellboy II is a fantastic film and I'll defend it to the bone. I love every second of the world del Toro crafted. In Bruges is another film close to my heart, top notch swearing. 1.

Just want to thank the people who nominated "Oh, To Be A Defector" and "Boyfriend". Two fantastic songs that have been all in my ears for the last few days.

They just released a video, and I'm seeing them later in the week, I nominate Tacocat - "Talk"

Because it's all just one massive highlight.

First off, is this Jack White singing on a anti-cheating song? HAHAHAAAA

Second of all, I just can't buy into the cult of celebrity Beyoncé insists on pushing.

Maschine_Man

I haven't get enough data further back than 1990, so I stopped there. Three times the album had the top two songs of the year. AT positions are in brackets. 2013: Child Of Lov - The Child Of Lov (#26) - Fly (#6) 2010: Joanna Newsom - Have One On Me (#12) - Good Intentions Paving Company (#2) & G...

^ Ahhh I just realised that too, I hope it's electable! In the same way I kinda want to nominate Love Again by Run The Jewels, mainly for its perfect music video:

Maschine_Man

I don't think it's necessarily a problem, it's probably quite common. The two factors at work are likely not wanting to overcrowd your favorites, and the second not listening to albums you are most likely going to dislike. http://i.imgur.com/Rc5yAkP.png My scoring system is out of 30, and I have mad...

I really enjoyed Junk, but as with any album than has more than 10 tracks, there was a bit of filler. I haven't really listened to M83 outside that one big song of theirs, so that might be why I went in with little expectation.

Maschine_Man

First very small update, now with numbers. I think I'll stick to top 30 from now on for the rest of the year and keep the lower end a bit of a surprise. Bold are new entries with big movers getting their position jump in brackets. Also of note, first PC Music entrant of the year, LIZ. 1. Santigold ~...

Fantastic Poll, and great words! I'm surprised at the Number 1, but glad it wasn't Pulp Fiction, to be honest. My Top 10 not included in the list: All About Eve (I'm so devastated I didn't get to nominate this) The Rocky Horror Picture Show Pan's Labyrinth (How!?) Hot Fuzz Juliet of the Spirits Hero...

I'm devastated that Pan's Labyrinth didn't make the latest film poll. I hope to correct this next time around. This is a really weird year now that I take a closer look at it. There are a few films I might watch from other peoples lists, so I might edit before the month is through, again. 1. Pan's L...
