i am a moron posted:My God that this exists. I honestly can't believe they've released two albums so relatively close together. It's better than Wildflower imo (which I still enjoyed), and much closer to the kind of aesthetic Since I Left You had. Listened to all 25 tracks in a row today and really enjoyed it. Thank you for letting me know this existed. Yea I only just found out this has come out...really enjoying it after a few days of listening, as you said, feels a bit more like Since I Left You. Really like Oh the Sunn! going into We Go On...I remember going through a phase of listening to Ritual De Lo Habitual, Angel Dust and Since I left You on repeat in the early 00's and now Perry is on their album

I stumbled on some band called Empath (via their drummer, who was in Perfect Pussy) and their album from last year is sneakily becoming one of my favorite records that I've listened to this year. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVVeL1nKucc Love that lo-fi fuzz. Reminds me of a No Age, but this is more joyous and fun.

So, how bad is everyone's Spotify / music taste? https://pudding.cool/2020/12/judge-my-spotify/ The site analyses your listening habits and gives you a "basic" rating, while berating your musical taste. My verdict: "Your Spotify was mid-nineties-flannel-shirt-stomp-and-holler-trendy-middle-part bad. > Thank your obsessions with Pearl Jam, stomp and holler, and Phoebe Bridgers for that. You are 2% basic. Collapse Under The Empire and Marble Sounds? Where do you even find this poo poo?." Also, apparently I stan Nothing But Thieves, Glen Hansard and Bear's Den too much. (There is no such thing)

I haven't managed to work out my top international albums (Phoebe Bridgers, Future Islands, who knows what else) but I've nailed down my top 10 New Zealand albums, and that's enough for now. It's been a strange year in Aotearoa, but we've been lucky enough to actually have live music and an almost-normal year of releases. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0fHGgmDwwzJDpZsqMFcWxm?si=DxWqy-tJSwipwiDUOFp7Qg Mali Mail - I Was Told To Keep An Eye Out Kate Own - Not A Proper Girl The Beths - Jump Rope Gazers Nadia Reid - Out Of My Province Reb Fountain - Reb Fountain Ida Lune - Ida Lune Mystery Waitress - Nest Jonathan Bree - After The Curtain WHIM - Mother Tongue Marlon Williams and Kacy & Clayton - Plastic Bouquet And as a bonus single, Lake South - History/Present

I usually put together a top 25 songs every year, but I struggled this year, and holidays have wrecked what little mental health I have left. I appreciate all of you posting yours, so it gives me stuff to listen to. Thank you.

My fave albums (tbh feels like I listened to a tremendous amount of good music this year) I hate that I still haven't seen tricot live and they're def my favorite band now - their albums somehow just keep getting better. My list goes through a bunch of genres: math/indie rock, pop, italopop, r&b/jungle, ambient, funk tricot - 真っ黒 (makkuro) tricot - 10 Il Quadro Di Troisi - Il Quadro Di Troisi The Beths - Jump Rope Gazers Machinedrum - A View of U Carly Rae Jepsen - Dedicated Side B Julianna Barwick - Healing is a Miracle Jessy Lanza - All The Time Jessie Ware - What's Your Pleasure **sleeper hit of the year, often overlooked imo** Khruangbin - Mordechai

air- posted:(tbh feels like I listened to a tremendous amount of good music this year) I agree, 2020 was the best year for music that we've seen in a number of years. My favorites were, in no particular order: Fiona Apple - Fetch the Bolt Cutters Phoebe Bridgers - Punisher Destroyer - Have We Met Fleet Foxes - Shore Jonsi - Shiver Perfume Genius - Set My Heart on Fire Immediately (probably my favorite of the year) Porches - Ricky Music Bartees Strange - Live Forever Yves Tumor - Heaven to a Tortured Mind Bright Light Bright Light - Fun City Waxahatchee - Saint Cloud Sufjan Stevens - The Ascension Haim - Women in Music Part III

https://www.vice.com/en/article/n7v4yd/dont-be-shocked-john-maus-and-ariel-pink-were-at-pro-trump-riot-at-capitol-in-dc hooboy... quote:Yesterday, right-wing extremists broke into the U.S. Capitol Building and stormed the Senate floor in a shameful and violent attempt to stop the official certification of Joe Biden’s election win. Hours later, images surfaced showing that musicians Ariel Pink and John Maus were in attendance. On a private Instagram account, filmmaker Alex Lee Moyer posted a photo in which she appeared to be sitting on a hotel room bed with Maus and Pink, later reposted on Twitter. Moyer tagged the post's location in Washington DC and captioned it: "The day we almost died but had a great time instead." In an Instagram Story on the same account, Moyer posted a video showing Maus standing outside the Capitol.

I listened to one Ariel Pink album - Mature Themes. Only In My Dreams was a legitimately good track, but the rest of it was utter horse poo poo. Like "the bad breath of the crosseyed goat" and the opener's repeating "who sunk my battleship?" are just garbage. I've never listened to anything else he put out. One good, maybe great song, and the rest just garbage tier. I wrote him off as someone who had one good song in him and nothing else.

Fuckin' Pom Pom is a masterpiece. Bloated, but a classic. The fact that John Maus and Jon Schaffer (Iced Earth) were involved too is... ah gently caress.

Ariel Pink's been saying stupid poo poo for years so this isn't surprising. But I love John Maus, so that hurts. Although also not very surprising considering his continued association with Pink.

Ariel Pink always seemed like a very weird, childish idiot. Unsurprising. House Arrest is an amazing album though. John Maus being there breaks my heart.

I think we all know what sort of face Tucker would make if he heard one of his records. Granted, it's the same face he would make if he found out he was getting a raise or if he ran into Barack Obama on the street. Cemetry Gator fucked around with this message at 04:03 on Jan 15, 2021 |
