Who the fuck finds teens erotic? Apart from other teens obv.

icky people on the internet

apparently you can go there and say, I like such and such a person. Any pics? And that will be the thread. Then all these pervs will gather and pool their pics of said person.

See, the similarities with thumped are.... erm... not sure how to finish that sentence

I really into stuff with loads of reverb this year

I haven't listened to anything post-1975 so far this year. Too late to stop now.

Transformer is my favourite album of the year.

Never heard of most of them and out of the ones I've heard, the Goat album is the only one I'd part money for. Seriously don't get the whole Grimes thing.

I like the record. Same with Alt-J

Don't know why people insist on saying they're the best things ever. They're enjoyable records amongst a bunch of other enjoyable records.

 

[Gambra]

Aluk Todolo - Occult Rock

Wreck & Reference - No Youth

Chromatics - Kill For Love

Robert Turman - Flux

Merchandise - Children of Desire

Vatican Shadow - Ornamented Walls

Aaron Dilloway - Modern Jester

Forget everything else. Just heard this and nothing else compares:

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

Now to investigate the Scott Walker LP...

 

[rettucs]

this is fantastic. Super mellow but its bored into my brain and I can't stop listening to it.

Edit: this = Oh No I Love You by Tim Burgess

I was a little disappointed with the new Iris DeMent album (Sing The Delta) when I first got it but the quality of some of the songs is starting to shine through the slightly bland session muso arrangements so it's going on top of my list. She sings beautifully on it. It's always a good sign for me when an album is slow to reveal its charms and plays hard to get. I form a stronger attachment to it. One song on it is about when she was young her little brother had an accident and she prayed that he'd be ok but he died and so she gave up on god then, the prick. It was quite harrowing when I saw her play it live a couple of years ago but on the album she's managed to make it sound like the camptown races on the record.

Also on my list
Fushitsusha - (the second one they released this year, not the first one)
Gate - Damned Revolutions

runners up:
Human Teenager - Animal Husbandry. Listening to this a good bit lately, weird, bouncy pop
Smegma - Ever and Anon. A nice mix of skronky free rock and weird dreamy bits (more of the latter thankfully)
The Tenses - Conform (smegma offshoot, more of the same really but skewed towards the more freeform sound world end of things)

These are mostly third quarter of the year albums, I can't really remember what came out earlier in the year or if I got any of them

I thought the Big Boi record would be a dark horse late contender.

It is weak and mediocre.

The track Let Me See Yo' Titties (She Said Ok) notwithstanding

Settled on this as my favourite. Great to hear Phil go all arty again:

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

I only just got Tramp by Sharon Van Etten. Liking it.

Too soon to say if it's an album of the year, just throwing it out there in case some of you like it.

That's one record I find isn't as good as I initially thought it was. It's still great but there are more than a few soppy/dud moments caught between the genuine tuneage.

Yeah, it could go either way at this point.

just got this in post today. really good album

Death And Vanilla, self titled

brilliant. heres what boomkat said about it. I agree

**White vinyl 2nd edition limited to 300 copies. Includes download code redeemable from the label** In case you missed out on the instantly sold-out 1st edition, or have a thing for Stereolab or Broadcast, Hands In The Dark have repressed Death and Vanilla's gorgeous debut album. Hailing from Malmö, Sweden, the duo of Marleen Nilsson and Anders Hansson started recording their ideas in an unheated attic overlooking Malmö's largest and oldest graveyard in fall 2007. Taking inspiration from smooth '60s/'70s psych-pop, library electronics and classic French and Italian film soundtracks, their frame of reference is as righteous as the music they make, and authentically so, using samples, vibraphonette, moog and lots of spring reverb to create haunting, cinematic pop songs. Their eponymous debut features 9 darkly sublime creations already tipped by many and getting much airplay round our way. Highly recommended.
