if only all editors were like this! (sorry for clogging up thread)

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 10 May 2004 07:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Matos I keep on e-mailing you re this - are you spam filtering me?

This would explain a few curious silences actually!

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Monday, 10 May 2004 11:17 (twenty-one years ago)

tim finney can you hear me, can you feel me near you?

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 10 May 2004 11:20 (twenty-one years ago)

(ha ha and I thought Matos was just politely ignoring all my half-arsed pitches!)

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Monday, 10 May 2004 11:22 (twenty-one years ago)

I guess the Weekly's IT has considered all Australians as spam!

HOT OZ MACRO ON MICRO ACTION

― Andy K (Andy K), Monday, 10 May 2004 16:27 (twenty-one years ago)

I've been there and I'VE SEEN IT. Indeed I shopped in the very record stores Mr. Finney judged of worth (and some not of worth).

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 10 May 2004 16:28 (twenty-one years ago)

hmmmm. I haven't gotten anything from you, Tim. I don't know how this can be rectified. are you on Friendster by any chance? or something you can send to me thirdhand?

― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Monday, 10 May 2004 18:09 (twenty-one years ago)

and so, the dawn of Payster

the peanut gallery is appreciated, yet not appreciated at the same time

― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Monday, 10 May 2004 18:35 (twenty-one years ago)

I just read this thread as: Attention Tiffany!

sigh.

― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Monday, 10 May 2004 18:40 (twenty-one years ago)

we charge per word too

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 10 May 2004 18:42 (twenty-one years ago)

not as much as tim "50 dollars before I turn on my pc" finney, admittedly.

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 10 May 2004 18:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Um, maybe Tim should get a temporary hotmail account? Just a hint.

― donut bitch (donut), Monday, 10 May 2004 18:49 (twenty-one years ago)

THEM SOME HOT NUTZ

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 10 May 2004 18:51 (twenty-one years ago)

I mean, why else would his emails NOT be getting to the Weekly? Does have an "au" suffix? Either case, Matos, I can you should ask the IT guy what the fuck is up with that shit...(but somehow get Finney's original email address first via a temporary non-Aussie free email account)

― donut bitch (donut), Monday, 10 May 2004 18:51 (twenty-one years ago)

I'd love it if the random googlers thought Tiffany was contactable via ILM too.

― Sick Nouthall (Nick Southall), Monday, 10 May 2004 18:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Once or twice I've wondered if mails of mine have gotten through, but I've always gotten responses from Zer Man, so I guess no worries for me.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 10 May 2004 18:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Because you might also be losing great story pitches from OTHER people too!

― donut bitch (donut), Monday, 10 May 2004 18:52 (twenty-one years ago)

(then again, maybe you're missing out on a whole load of BAD pitches too, so be forewarned, lest this problem actually be fixed)

― donut bitch (donut), Monday, 10 May 2004 18:53 (twenty-one years ago)

LOL OMG CAN I WRITE ON JOHN CENA KTHXBYE

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 10 May 2004 18:54 (twenty-one years ago)

What if Tiffany's been emailing?!

― Sick Nouthall (Nick Southall), Monday, 10 May 2004 18:54 (twenty-one years ago)

OK, Tim: email me at matoswk@hotmail.com, and we'll see if it works.

― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Monday, 10 May 2004 18:56 (twenty-one years ago)

Ok, Tiffany: email me at ddb@yahoo.com, and we'll see if it works.

― ddb, Monday, 10 May 2004 18:57 (twenty-one years ago)

the peanut gallery can fuck off again

― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Monday, 10 May 2004 18:58 (twenty-one years ago)

tim never answered if he could feel me near him

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 10 May 2004 19:58 (twenty-one years ago)

he did but it got spam filtered

― Matos W.K. (M Matos), Monday, 10 May 2004 19:59 (twenty-one years ago)

that's an odd euphamism for contraceptives

― strongo hulkington (dubplatestyle), Monday, 10 May 2004 20:00 (twenty-one years ago)

EW "spam filter" EW EW EW

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 10 May 2004 20:01 (twenty-one years ago)

I'll try again from both my e-mail addresses but they've both got .au suffixes (if that is the problem). If that doesn't work I'll set up a hotmail account.

Strongo,
You know that "i feel you"
Is not the words I want to say to you
All that you have to do
Is close your eyes then you'll feel it too

I want Tiffany's thoughts on Luomo immediatley.

― C0L1N B3CK3TT (Colin Beckett), Monday, 10 May 2004 22:26 (twenty-one years ago)

What's weird is that you can sing Colin's comment to the song Strongo invoked.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 10 May 2004 22:50 (twenty-one years ago)

Does not compute.

― Commander Riker (numbertwo), Monday, 10 May 2004 22:54 (twenty-one years ago)

I sense some.. sort of relief. Like a communication problem has been solved.

― Deanna Troi, Tuesday, 11 May 2004 00:45 (twenty-one years ago)

Only if it were some sort of vocoded Zapp and Roger version.

Soulwax to thread!

― C0L1N B3CK3TT (Colin Beckett), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 00:53 (twenty-one years ago)

I see no problem with that.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 00:53 (twenty-one years ago)

I'd like this thread to live on. Can people please bring other things to my attention?

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 02:15 (twenty-one years ago)

ATTENTION TIM FINNEY

...did you finally get the new Orbital album? And have you added me to your slsk list and shouldn't I add you and maybe you should drop me an e-mail etc.?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 02:27 (twenty-one years ago)

i don't have slsk as I am a mac nerd (but not enough of one to make slsk myself; esp. since the computer I download with isn't even at my own house). ==> I haven't heard the new Orbital cd. I understand it is good though!

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 02:31 (twenty-one years ago)

i don't have slsk as I am a mac nerd

Ah! There are Mac clients now my friend, for I am Macboy too. :-) Drop myself or Elvis T. a line, or check out some of the threads around here, there's been some posting about them.

And yes, quite good, I just finished relistening to it.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 02:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Vaguely related: I've found out i'm receiving an iPod for my birthday, which is marvellous and totally outta leftfield.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 02:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Attention Tim Finney : Why do you never invite us all to the booty parties your flatmates sometimes hold? The whole of Melbourne want onboard.

Congratulations Tim!

Have you heard this mix?

http://www.mixcloud.com/unbongo/unknown-soulja-un-bongo-mix-2-november-2009/

It's kind of my favorite thing in the world right now.. I don't even know what kind of music this is supposed to be. To my ears it sounds a lot like 2-step, a little like bassline, a bit like dubstep.. but what do I know?

― Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 8 December 2009 12:41 (fifteen years ago)

Ot maybe this is the "UK funky" that everyone's been talking about

― Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 8 December 2009 12:41 (fifteen years ago)

Whatever it is, i freaking love it

― Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 8 December 2009 12:42 (fifteen years ago)

I mean there's also some rap in there

― Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 8 December 2009 12:46 (fifteen years ago)

And some dancehall. Judging by the tracklisting that's a fairly wide-ranging FACT-esque mix with bits of everything you mention in there. There's probably some funky in there as well although there aren't any names I recognise.

― Space Battle Rothko (Matt DC), Tuesday, 8 December 2009 12:50 (fifteen years ago)

that electrik red review is great!

― brooklyn we go ham (samosa gibreel), Tuesday, 8 December 2009 12:55 (fifteen years ago)

Jesus, Mess + Noise is like an AU P4K skin. Scary.

Tim, I love the series and I'm sorry to hear you're dealing with medical issues. Good on you.

― cee-oh-tee-tee, Tuesday, 8 December 2009 13:02 (fifteen years ago)

Tracer, yeah that mix looks very FACT-y - there's lots of mixes floating around the internet from people like Julio Bashmore, Bok Bok, Princess, Mosca, Dub Boy and the like that cover similar ground. I haven't listened to that yet but how amazing is Major Notes' "Holy Ghost" (which is UK funky - most of the rest isn't but in related territory)? The bit when the vocal comes in toward the end is just A++++.

Chris are you in Australia now? Or have you just seen the first season? I'm really looking forward to Season 2 becoming available on the internet as I (like to) think it's much better. Mess + Noise is a bit scary, yes! I like to think we won them over at least a little bit.

― Tim F, Tuesday, 8 December 2009 21:07 (fifteen years ago)

I'm curious what you would might have to say about this Japanese dance pop song (3,117,287 views):

When does Tim Finney's first book come out?

― MikoMcha, Saturday, 15 November 2014 09:44 (ten years ago)

six years pass...

Is Tim Finney now a big shot lawyer? I was looking for recent music writeups and came up empty-handed. There is however a very well-to-do-looking fellow of his namesake listed as being director of a law firm in Melbourne. Nothing on music or on Pitchfork in years, though!

― hbbh111, Tuesday, 27 April 2021 08:46 (four years ago)

Yeah I don't write professionally any more, but still try to do year-end write ups here.

― Tim F, Wednesday, 28 April 2021 00:04 (four years ago)

Tim Finney why haven’t you made a 2021 playlist on spotify?

― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Wednesday, 28 April 2021 00:09 (four years ago)

There is however a very well-to-do-looking fellow

That's all you needed to say, really. Not only do I remember all of us on a.m.a. going "What the hell, he's younger than all of us by some years and still knows nearly everything" back in the late nineties, but when I finally met the good man in 2002 I then thought "This is ridiculous, he's also better looking than all of us too!"

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 28 April 2021 00:25 (four years ago)

spotify playlist is coming

― Tim F, Wednesday, 28 April 2021 05:04 (four years ago)

Tim F does not exit, he's a phantasm created by the ILX lab in the hopes of teasing us with the perfect listener and chap.

Excelente!

Are they ranked? If Olof Dreijer is your #1 I love that choice and it’s one of the couple of songs we overlap! I see at least 10 songs in there which are also in mine so that’s a bigger number than in past years and also I see several which I had never heard before.

Great looking list so far

― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Wednesday, 12 May 2021 17:52 (four years ago)

Instant love on the Cassandra Jenkins track. Thanks for these discoveries!

― the body of a spider... (scampering alpaca), Wednesday, 12 May 2021 18:06 (four years ago)

this playlist fucking rules thanks tim for sharing!

― monotony, Wednesday, 12 May 2021 23:56 (four years ago)

Thanks all.

The list isn't ranked and I'm not sure how I would go about that if I wanted to. It's instead sequenced with a rather loose view of flow in mind but I have no idea whether it works for anyone else.

― Tim F, Thursday, 13 May 2021 01:35 (four years ago)

seven months pass...

I didn't have the physical or emotional energy to do 2023 write-ups sorry (maybe 2024 will be my year), but I did make this incomplete/partial playlist of stuff I loved from last year:

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5h47izuNqetbkpyOumi8rk?si=0ae54b77556d4f99

Will try to call out a few in the EOY voting thread.

― Tim F, Tuesday, 9 January 2024 21:54 (one year ago)

so much good stuff I wouldn't have heard otherwise! thanks Tim. enjoying Madeline Kinney right now.

― what you say is true but by no means (lukas), Tuesday, 9 January 2024 22:16 (one year ago)

Thanks Tim! I see 5 out of 10 of my own top 10. 7 if I count the artists from which I chose other song instead.

A shame there’s no writeup this year, would’ve loved to read your takes on them but the playlist is terrific.

― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Wednesday, 10 January 2024 14:07 (one year ago)

Are they ranked in order? First time hearing this Cloth song and I loved it.

― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Wednesday, 10 January 2024 14:13 (one year ago)

Not in order but in a vague attempt at flow, and I also tried to minimise overlap with other playlists I had made so sometimes the song chosen isn’t necessarily a standout favourite from the artist’s album.

But yeah the entire Cloth album is just really lovely, one of my favourites of the year for sure.

― Tim F, Wednesday, 10 January 2024 19:35 (one year ago)

I keep finding great songs in here. Delilah Holiday - silent streets was off my radar and I’m currently obsessed with it.

― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Thursday, 11 January 2024 15:48 (one year ago)

Cheers for this and for your artpop playlist, Tim! Also loving Cloth.

― etc, Tuesday, 23 January 2024 20:40 (one year ago)

thanks Tim, excited to hear your playlist. recently I'm taking a break from deep dives into older genres/artists to check more new music. like back in those lovely UKG days. whatever happened to r/t/c - does he post under a different name now?

― Paul, Wednesday, 24 January 2024 02:22 (one year ago)

thanks moka and etc!

This is the 2023 art-pop playlist etc means btw: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4WdPNCsDegk7ZdsdKwswwu?si=ae075c46ed50449c

Paul, sadly I don't know what happened to r|t|c, but he hasn't posted for many years now - and if he had changed user names I think we would have worked it out by now!

eleven months pass...

I have been tinkering with a "best of 2024" "shortlist", but at something like 13.5 hours it's still unfeasibly long, so I made this more approachable "sampler" of some of the music I loved in 2024. Do not listen if you hate me.
