Year in Music 2012

[Byron The Bulb]

Sleazy Remix 2.0 Get Sleazier

The bar has been set.

 

[Incandenza]

So we're playing limbo now?

 

[Mik]

Is that Pedro from Napoleon Dynamite?

Fun.: We Are Young ft. Janelle Monáe [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

Album I'm really looking forward to. I'm inclined to say no one else will like it here, but I remember a few people here also liked The Format in like 2006 or so.

 

[Incandenza]

Pleasantly surprised by Old Ideas, the new Leonard Cohen album. Cohen attempts more singing on this album; at times he growls like Tom Waits (Waits at his most subdued, that is). The smooth female vocals that cropped up on his last couple of records—presumably to offset Cohen's increasingly aged croak—are scaled back here, which is a plus.

 

[Sesquipedaliantique]

This is really, really fantastic. I'm hesitant to type much more at this point, since I've only listened to Visions once, but anyone who enjoyed Halfaxa should definitely give it a shot.

Listening to this now. I'm most pleasantly surprised by the arrangements on this album. Cohen usually struggles with more opulent production, but the strings and pianos on this album suit him very well.

Earth - The Corascene Dog - 2012 - Angels of Darkness, Demons of Light: II

The new Earth album is kinda the greatest thing in the history of life, again. This is what Oxycontin sounds like

 

[Byron The Bulb]

The new Sleigh Bells is pretty killer.

 

[The Coat Is My Father]

I'm excited to listen to the new Sleigh Bells, as well.

The new Twilight Sad album, No One Can Ever Know, is kind of a departure for them. Less anthemic, more coldly-textured in a post-punk type way. Reminiscent of Radiohead to my ears.

The Twilight Sad - Don't Move

Pretty good. It feels like a grower, as it's not a flashy album.

 

[Byron The Bulb]

Sleigh Bells - Demons

shit makes me want to smash things and fight people, like all good music is supposed to do.

 

[BurningPirateShipSex]

I thought good music made you want to fuck on the floor and fight. Unless that is what you meant by 'smash things'. 8)

 

[Smartly Pretty]

I will never forget Byron giving me shit for like Sleigh Bells and then doing a 180 when they became Pitchfork darlings.

 

[Big Beard Booty Daddy]

I had never heard of them until today from some co-workers and then seeing them talked about here. I'll check them out. Seem interesting from what I read about them on wiki.

how else would he know what to like​

 

[Byron The Bulb]

I will never forget Byron giving me shit for like Sleigh Bells and then doing a 180 when they became Pitchfork darlings.

To be fair, the thing you posted was a pretty low quality demo whose arrangement was way different than it was on the final release and it was bad.

 

[Big Beard Booty Daddy]

Downloaded both of Sleigh Bells' albums and listened to the new one and most of the first one today. Holy fuck, I love it. To make matters better, Childish Gambino samples a couple of their songs from their first album.

 

[The Coat Is My Father]

New Sleigh Bells ruuuuuuules. I had enjoyed their first album but written them off as one trick ponies. This, though. This is awesome.

 

[The Coat Is My Father]

The new Magnetic Fields album is pretty goofy, smug, and off-putting, but I like it anyways. I'm sure that suggests something bad about my personality.

 

[Sesquipedaliantique]

whoops, posted about the same album twice.

 

[MFer]

Fun.: We Are Young ft. Janelle Monáe [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

So, is this song supposed to capture the zeitgeist of the 2010s or something? Where's Byron or pujol or someone with a 98-page dissertation on this?

 

[Smartly Pretty]

Why the fuck does their band name have to end in a period? Like, the whole "end your band name in an exclamation mark" thing was super obnoxious, and this somehow tops it. Not to mention, "My friends are in the bathroom/Getting higher than the Empire State" is somehow worse than sending a bitch a picture of your diiiiiiick.

 

[Smartly Pretty]

I also secretly suspect that Fun. is just Foster the People in disguise.

 

[KOAB]

Fun. is shit!

 

[Sesquipedaliantique]

Odd Future - "Oldie"

This is probably the best Odd Future related song to date.

 

[Lord of The Curry]

Been listening to The Twilight Sad for the last hour and a half, really dig them. Nice one Poptones.

Hot Problems (official single) - Double Take

 

[Big Beard Booty Daddy]

That was brought up on The Soup this week. It's such an awful, awful song.

 

[BruiserBrody]

Rumor has it is FUCKING HORRIBLE.

Makes me glad I stick to talk radio

 

[MFer]

Hits too close to home?
