Late late late last minute contender: Dawnbringer- Nucleus (stream) (interview)

As the interview says there's no consensus on how to classify this record so I'll just say that it's traditional metal and it was recorded by Sanford Parker (who did Nachtmystium's recent joint too) so it sounds awesome as heck and it's very, very, very good.

anyways reddit being basically a linking aggregator is something designed to basically propagate memes? this can potentially be good since it also functions basically as a news website, in theory, but in practice it's just a bunch of dorky "ha ha cool links" stuff. and even that's not necessarily a problem, since showing people stuff that is cool and interesting right now is a pretty basic human thing. but the real thing with reddit and similar things is that what it becomes ultimately is a race to post the coolest link or to be part of the community that brings x story or meme to the forefront. people are more interested in the idea of being that cool person that brings the link than the contents of the thing itself. and reddit is basically just that, in perpetuity, codified and constructed. i mean, look at the front page of reddit: mostly tech & programming stuff, of which a lot of it is about entertainment stuff – a steam sale, a golf game, etc. and the actual news is something where, if you had a blogroll, you'd have read it already.

i don't know. maybe this argument isn't entirely clear. but i feel like reddit ultimately is another of web 2.0's tools of self-aggrandizement – a way individuals can develop a kind of personal brand and become prominent figures of their chosen online community. and yes yes i understand that this might seem disingenuous coming from a dude who has a clearly delineated posting style and five blue stars under his name but the difference is mainly that i was never really gunning to be a forum superstar or whatever, i just stayed here and chatted with my friends and i guess developed at some point a reputation for being the kind of person who might make an okay mod. i'm explaining this so that i can make my next point, which is that reddit is less about developing connections within a community and more about how good you feel having posted something that went viral. and that's i think different in a lot of ways since what it places value on is not what is being communicated but rather its capacity for being something that spreads. so it's stuff like said steam sale or chatroulette or, say, double rainbow guy*. and the thing is that forums ultimately foster and engender and reward discussion and thought about things. i'm not convinced that reddit does, at least not in any long-term or valuable sense. i think it largely fosters "wow!!! look how neat this is." a kind of online informational adhd.

and the problem i have and that i was alluding to in that one line is that that's an attitude that i guess i'm finding more pervasive in people's attitudes towards music and culture. culture has become a thing of memes, really, a thing meant not for permanence or anything but rather how much it says about your personal brand. and how much you're able to participate in the lightning-quick conversations surrounding it that are commonplace in the era of chillwave and witch house. and i think, getting actually serious about this stuff, that there's plenty that we stand to lose in this situation. and because of how reddit already works in the broad sense outlined above, i'm extraordinarily skeptical about the overall reddit user base and the average reddit user's attitudes towards music. i'm worried that they think of music in the same way that they think of information. and so when i read that list and see a bunch of stuff that had either a ton of blog hype or a ton of marketing behind it, i start to wonder which was more important in the ranking – the music or its cultural markers.

i'm probably a pessimistic dork who overthinks shit, but whatever. i worry that our generation isn't really concerned with thinking about the way that we think nowadays.

oh and for the record – the haircut thing was a joke at the expense of the folks who compiled that list, based almost exclusively on real-life personal observations. if it offended you, trust me, it was nothing personal, nor was it an assessment of character or worth or whatever, okay? to you or to them.

*who if you watch the autotune video is himself usurped by the autotune the news glee club† dweebs who have this really discomforting habit of appearing in their videos to re-sing and re-arrange what they do in them in order to show off how talented they are and won't you subscribe to them &c – but i respect you might not have the time in your day to read me ranting about that for too long
†and like i think glee's whole modus operandi of "hey, remember when this song happened!?!??!" is symptomatic of the same short-term memory reveling in ephemera type deal i'm clumsily prodding the edges of with this argument, but again that's another argument entirely

I think I kind of see what you're getting at. You don't like reddit because it's a community that prizes the referent and the spread of a referent to content over actual content. Sort of like the clumsy and cheap deployment of cultural references in comedy without the ostensible purpose of trying to be funny.  I've never been on reddit, so I don't have any relevant experience which might lead me to this conclusion or any other.  It's certainly conceivable that a link farming hound trying to be on the bleeding edge of geeky internet cool/relevance might not treat music as actual music.  

I don't think our generation is unconcerned with thinking about how we think. In fact I'd say amidst so much anxiously self-conscious self-obsessed pseudo-metacontent we're more in danger of forgetting to just think without hyper-analyzing every little thing.

oh and for the record – the haircut thing was a joke at the expense of the folks who compiled that list, based almost exclusively on real-life personal observations. if it offended you, trust me, it was nothing personal, nor was it an assessment of character or worth or whatever, okay? to you or to them.

As for that, I was just really baffled because I had no idea what you were talking about and it sounded like you were talking out your ass.

I'm doing something different because I don't know what you guys are talking about.


here's what Last.fm knows I listened to over the last 12 months, along with the number of plays:

1    Jason The Swamp    2,330 plays
2    Joanna Newsom    1,489 plays
3    Shapes Like Dinosaurs    881 plays
4    Laura Veirs    809 plays
5     Filkoe, Oskar Ohlson, Babel Fishh    582 plays
6    Man Man    566 plays
7     Yoyoyo acapulco    535 plays
8    Ramona Córdova    524 plays
9    The Black Keys    493 plays
10    The Sneaky Mister    391 plays
11    The Bitter Tears    357 plays
12     Freelance Whales    349 plays
13    Pumpernickle    348 plays
14    Tobacco    346 plays
15    Black Moth Super Rainbow    341 plays



I"m actually surprised BMSR got as many plays as they did. They are so 2007/8/9  :wink:

My list of albums that I think people should listen to but probably haven't listened to in no particular order:

PS I Love You - Meet Me At the Muster Station
Robyn - Body Talk
Cloud Control - Bliss Release
Liars - Sisterworld
Faded Paper Figures - New Medium
!!! - Strange Weather, Isn’t It?
Meursault - All Creatures Will Make Merry
The Thermals - Personal Life
HEALTH - DISCO2 (and DISCO2++)
Titus Andronicus – The Monitor

about reddit:

JC I see what you're saying. I posted the link because it was a pretty big poll (the biggest I have seen) of people who voted for what their favorite albums are. And while this could be reflective of the mentality you described, where the people listed the albums that they would think would be coolest to list as their favorite, instead it looks like a pretty good cross-section of what people who listen to varied music (and would thus be in the music section of reddit) and yet still aren't the musical dorks that dwell on these forums, or praise Pitchfork to the high heavens.

Probably 80%+ of the best stuff I've heard this year has been singles, EPs and odd tracks and would take too damn long to type out but these have been the most impressive full albums;

Ólafur Arnalds - ...And They Have Escaped The Weight Of Darkness
Daníel Bjarnason - Processions
Michael Cassette - Temporarity

Top songs:
"Returnal" by Oneohtrix Point Never [Antony version]
"Since We Last Met" by ndf
"Round and Round" by Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti

Top Albums:
This Is Happening by LCD Soundsystem
Before Today by Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti
Crooks and Lovers by Mount Kimbie
Autre Ne Veut by Autre Ne Veut
Various EPs by James Blake (Cheating? Maybe, but I had to get him on the list, and he's too goddamned consistent to pick just one song.)

I feel like the list is reasonably stable by now, although most likely I'll feel completely different about it in a few months' time.

Can someone back me up here and confirm that Girls' "Thee Oh So Protective One" from Broken Dreams Club really, really, sounds like Elvis Costello?

No way I could get a boner for a girl who sounded like Elvis Costello.

If it's an Elvis Costello-like song it would probably spend a verse or two playing around with the various different definitions of the word "mean".

It's pretty late in the game by now,  but our site decided to do something different (for us, at least) for our top 10s. Check it out if you're interested!

Bottomless Pit, Low, The Fall and Nina Nastasia should all be releasing new albums this year too.

Are The Fall ever NOT releasing a new album? I think Mark E. Smith is going to die at the mixing desk.

I'm quite excited for the new Dillinger Escape Plan, Nick Cave is apparently up to a new Grinderman record, blink-182 might release something, Eminem's second part of Relapse, Detox might finally come out (HA!).
