As in gentlercore? Or pedocore?

The record label...Japancakes, Masters of the Hemisphere, Of Montreal etc.

SEARCH: The original version of the Call and Response lp, the record which made me happiest in 2001.

Essex Green - beautiful country flavoured pop.

Masters of the Hemisphere - especially the first album. Can't comment on the new one yet though I'm looking forward to hearing it.

Dressy Bessy - Girly pop of the highest order with a 70. Also fantastic live. Pop with a smile. Which is nice.

I also like Richard Davies, some Ashley Park, though they were rather dull live recently, oh and Of Montreal are good too.

My flatmate is also a big admirer of I am the World...

And all this without mentioning the Call and Response album. Which is a blinder of sweet 70's tasting pop. Yummy. Probably was the album of last year for me.

Kincaid - "Super Hawaii!", the giddy song and the album are top notch.

Dressy Bessy - my answer to how twee can thee be. I went "aww" to their first album, but the new one will probably set off my ick reflex.

Call and Response is okay pop except for that godawful "Rollerskate" song. Kitty Craft is similar and less annoying. As dance music, they're both dishwater.

Of Montreal - nice as long as you don't remove the shrinkwrap, ie, pretty package, horrible music.

Japancakes bores me and that pedal steel makes me nauseous.

Richard Davies - aimless and no longer showing the flashes of sublimity he touched with Cardinal and The Moles.

Essex Green, Birdie, Mendoza Line, Kings of Convenience s/t, - good

Wolfie, Ashley Park - not very good

The remaining names on their band roster (I believe marshmallows and sunshine are referenced) do not encourage me.

I heard a Call and Response song on the radio the other day and really liked it. Why is the original version of the LP better than the reissue? (I'm guessing it's been reissued).

The lp is rereleased on Emperor Norton, Lawrence (although do EN fund Kindercore in some way anyway?), so only the original version is appropriate to the Q. I think the rerelease is remixed and has a couple of new songs. The cover doesn't look as nice.

― Edna Welthorpe, Mrs, Tuesday, 5 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Fondlecore. That would bring down the hand of the law.

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 5 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

japancakes are great but dear god do i have to hear them every day. oh also i am officially the pitchfork source of kindercore gossip (ie when awful kcore band i am the wtc changed their name to just 'i am the' guess who 'broke' the story) so DUD.

― ethan, Tuesday, 5 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Marshmallow Coast's Marshmallow Coasting is really brilliant.

― Andy, Tuesday, 5 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i am the wtc changed their name to just 'i am the'

But now they've allegedly changed their name back because of the public outcry.

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 5 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

yes ned i know this, it was only ever supposed to be temporary anyway.

― ethan, Tuesday, 5 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Isn't the 11th song on I am the World Trade Center named 'September'? I swear I saw it on the sleeve.

― lawrence kansas, Tuesday, 5 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Oh, and thanks to Edna for responding to my question.

― lawrence kansas, Tuesday, 5 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i think they may be called "i am the world" now

― g, Tuesday, 5 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Holy prognosticating popstars! tracklisting from CDNOW:

I am the World Trade Center

11. September

Birdie are great, although their Kindercore album (their second) isn't as good as their first one.

Both Essex Green and Great Lakes are fab enjoyable pop, with relatively smaller amounts of the irritating side of E6 that, for example, the fucking horrible Of Montreal so frequently display.

I can't even BEGIN to tell you how much I despise Of Montreal. They could well be one of the worst bands ever to exist.

― electric sound of jim, Tuesday, 5 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

the kindercore album is their first, it just took kindercore orever to release it then they had the lack of sense to not release the second 'triple echo'. unless there was one before 'some dusty'? of montreal are the only band on kindercore worth anything, kevin barnes' head is like an amusement park. the richard davies record on kindercore was laughably poor, i wonder what happened to him? did someone tell him flat out to stop being clever? maybe.
