Everything on modern rock radio that isn't Korn or Godsmack. I also like Busta Rhymes and Fat Joe. "First Date", "Hard to Explain", and "Without Me" are the best songs. Tweet sucks.

― Kris, Monday, 3 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Cornelius - Point! And The Private Press, hopefully.

― Orange, Monday, 3 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

New: Tom Waits (both albums), Eminem

Reissues: Bobby Hutcherson, Dialogue (second most free-jazz thing I've heard on Blue Note after Out to Lunch, and this record shares a lot of that one's personnel, but it also treads a line much more finely between 60s hard bop and the more exploratory kind of free improv), Grant Green, Am I Blue, and maybe the Sonny Clark Trio

New to me: Stevie Wonder, Talking Book, Kelis, Kaleidoscope, Redman and Method Man, Blackout

Having no money has stopped me from buying lots of new music from people I've never heard of before. It makes me feel old.

― Josh, Monday, 3 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

1. Wilco 's "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot"; 2. Doves' "The Last Broadcast"; 3. Notwist's "Neon Golden"

maybe the new antipop or blackalicious but probably neither. the blackalicious is too slick and the antipop is too inconsistent.

― fields of salmon, Monday, 3 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Since the last time we did this a few weeks ago, I've really come around to the new MRI album, All That Glitters, after initially thinking it was a bit too housey. I had never heard of Desert Hearts before Jim Dean put it at the top, and now I count it among my favorites.

― Curt, Monday, 3 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

The El-P is v. crunchy and impressive.

Tweet is good, but the rap trax (which are bonus and are Pt. II and Big Spender) at first jump out and then get not very good once the rest of the album sinks in. Ms. Jade is the main vocalist on Pt. II anyway.

I quite like the current crop of radio singles, Ashanti excepted, but many are from older albums. Gold Teeth Thief is excellent, as is I Wanna Dance With Numbers.

― Sterling Clover, Monday, 3 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Trail of Dead -- ST&C 90 Day Men -- To Everybody Wilco -- YHF Hella -- Hold Your Horse Is Secret Machines -- September 000 El-P -- Fantastic Damage Blackalicious -- Blazing Arrow Do Make Say Think -- & Yet & Yet Blood Brothers -- March on Electric Children

That is in order.

― Yancey, Monday, 3 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Why does everyone hate Ashanti? Is it merely her omnipresence? I'm not saying that's she great or anything, but she'd hardly strike me as offensive (and that bridge in "Foolish" is classic).

― Tim, Monday, 3 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

she's just kinda there (i mean in her songs, not the omnipresence thing)...like admiring the drywall in an otherwise opulent house.

I was about to say, "She's better than Alicia Keys", but on reflection that's a rather desperate argument, so I'll save it for when I really need it.

― Tim, Monday, 3 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

These are the only new albums I've heard this year, but they're all decent: Chemical Brothers-"Come with us"
The Streets-"Original pirate material"
Cornelius-"Point"
Wilco-"Yankee hotel foxtrot"
DJ Rupture-"Dold teeth thief"
Clinic-"Walking with thee"
The Breeders-"Title TK"
Eminem-"The Eminem show"
Luna-"Romantica"
Stuff I'd be interested to hear...MRI-"All that glitters", Tweet- "Southern hummingbird", Baby Ford and the Ifach Collective-"Sacred machine" and the new Sonic Youth.

― Michael Bourke, Monday, 3 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

"She's better than Alicia Keys"

A desperate argument, Tim? More like a tautology!

And Jess, that Herbert album is enough ear food for months, so I wouldn't worry about not hearing much else. I like the MRI album a ton, and the debut from Yagya (thanks Andy K.). I'm still working on digesting the Streets album, too. There's an album by Drekka that's like droned-out folk (but not lame, as that hybrid suggests) - more on the Nedmusik tip.

― Clarke B., Monday, 3 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Ashanti is NOT better than Alicia Keys! Alicia is a robotic diva bent on destroying the world via piano ballads, while Ashanti is a shagged-out tart with a bad weave. It says volumes that the best thing Ashanti has recorded is a two-line presence as the chorus of a Ja Rule song. Alicia Keys is flawed, but she's still miles better than you all give her credit for.

― Dan Perry, Monday, 3 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

(I have no idea why those posts made me so surly!)

― Dan Perry, Monday, 3 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Nina Nastasia's "The Blackened Air". Eaaaasy.

Gemma Hayes, Angelica, New Pornographers also very good. I personally didn't much care for the Radio Soulwax album though... it just seemed a bit dul

― Mr Swygart, Monday, 3 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

more on the Nedmusik tip

Drekka is indeed quite good, I need to hear more of them.

I've heard a lot...but not much has stuck for multiple plays. In fact the only new album I think I've played more than twice is Peter Murphy's Dust, which doubtless surprises nobody. Then again, there's so much freaking music out there -- for the first time in my life, I feel utterly overwhelmed with what I've got and downloaded and picked up and more. The zeitgeists are so kaleidoscopic that on the one hand I'm thrilled and on the other I'm more convinced than ever that my own sinister zone is where to stay.

― Ned Raggett, Monday, 3 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I can only do this by providing a list of albums that I got this year, as I've only got 3 or 4 albums that I am sure were released in 2002. Anyway:

Slayer - South of Heaven
Smashing Pumpkins - Rotten Apples
Vacaciones - Sonrier
Weezer - Maladroit
Various Artists - Motwon Gold

I've liked lots of odd songs from the rest of the stuff I've bought this year, but I'm being ruthless, and therefore they cannot be included here.

haha best records of 2002: hooverphonic, moloko, dj spooky, morcheeba

Obv you didn't. Morcheeba?????

― cuba libre (nathalie), Monday, 3 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i think its a coded drug reference, nath

― ethan, Monday, 3 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i dont know what bugs me out more, the fact that theres a new sneaker pimps album in 2002 or that a dude actually likes it

― ethan, Monday, 3 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

check it out though dude likes 'the boggs' too how much you wanna bet the rock it hard GARAGE REVIVAL STYLE man

― ethan, Monday, 3 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

'hey, remember the killer riffs and rockin attitude of the sixties garage bands?'

― ethan, Monday, 3 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Issues with ethan:

Having never heard the Sneaker Pimps first LP (other than "6 Underground"), I don't know how to compare it to the new one. But the new one is fully entertaining for fans of late 80's/early 90's synth pop (read: Depeche Mode's Violator). It reminds me of high school. And that's a good thing.

Have you even heard that Boggs cd? Even the mention of "GARAGE ROCK" leads me to believe you haven't.

― paul, Monday, 3 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

hey paul your post reminds me of high school. and thats a good thing.

― ethan, Monday, 3 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

sorry i'm being needlessly antagonistic but like dude the sneaker pimps thing bugged me out for real

― ethan, Monday, 3 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

If it makes you feel any better, I avoided the whole Morcheeba/Portishead/Hooverphonic/etc. scene like it was the plague a few years ago. And I still don't like it. The Sneaker Pimps kicked out that annoying girl and got down to business.

― paul, Monday, 3 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i think its a coded drug reference, nath
Sigh, and you read that in Spin, right? Don't assume as I don't know. Though I neither read Spin nor Pitchfork. Not seriously anyway.

― cuba libre (nathalie), Monday, 3 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

haha the funny thing is i love that cheesy third generation trip hop shit

― ethan, Monday, 3 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

so far: the Streets, Playgroup (in the US), The Best Bootlegs in the World Ever, Kid America & the Action Figures, N*E*R*D, Meshell Ndegeocello, DJ /rupture's forthcoming Minesweeper Suite (not as astonishingly headwrecking as Gold Teeth Thief but still pretty great), Codek's D'Afro Disco, J- Live (both albums), a few others I forget

― M Matos, Monday, 3 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

i only write for pitchfork ironically

― ethan, Monday, 3 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Don't worry, it might help with the criticism you'll receive after that Eminem review goes up.

Also I like Walking With Thee 'cos I'm the bestest schmindie rockist mentalist evah!

...plus a clutch of fantastic reissues and V/A comps. MRI, El-P and Köhn are recent acquisitions that I haven't heard enough yet, but are likely to be well up there too.

Really liking Wilco, Deep Dark United's "Fools" ep, Blackeyes (or is it Darkeyes) which is a related band, Do Make Say Think's & Yet & Yet and feel good story of the half year Square Root Of Maraget's triumph return from having a few thousand dollars of equipment destroy in a rehersal space fire.
Favorite album so far is probably Mirah's Advisory Committee.

― Mr Noodles, Wednesday, 5 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Josh interested in your comments on recent jazz reissues. Larry Young's "Unity" has been the pick of the bunch for me, certainly more interesting than the Sonny Clark or Grant Green, good as these are. Honourable mentions to Ornette Coleman "Live at the Golden Circle" (both volumes) and Freddie Hubbard's "Red Clay" though the glossy production and use of modal structures may not appeal to fans of his earlier music. I just bought "Dialogue" today and haven't listened to it yet but OTL has been a long-time favourite so I'll be amazed if I don't think it's great.

― ArfArf, Thursday, 6 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Is this a new CD version of 'Unity' (w/ extra wotsits?) 'Cos it's been available on CD in the UK for some time. Still looking for a copy of 'Lawrence of Newark' on CD.

All those recent Actuel/ESP vinyl reissues look mighty tasty too.

And the new David Grubbs alb, 'Rickets and Scurvey' is a goon'un, if you like that sort of thing...

― Andrew L, Thursday, 6 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Pardon me for listing a comp, but Montreal Smoked Meat is choice. Supremely grateful to Andy K. am I for that tip.

― Curt, Thursday, 6 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Akufen, Mum, Wilco, Tom Waits, Guthries, Antipop, El-P, Notwist, Mice Parade...

― Mark, Thursday, 6 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Andrew seems I may have got this wrong. "Unity" (like "Dialogue" and "Red Clay") is one of a number of jazz albums that used to be unavailable in the UK and which I've had half an eye out for for years. Recently quite a few of these have come into the local record shops and I assumed they were recent reissues. But I'm not very systematic about these things and "Unity" could have been reissued some time ago (and not stocked locally) without me realising.

Anyway its a fabulous album. I would not have thought I was capable being so impressed by an album with a Hammond player as leader.

― ArfArf, Friday, 7 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

can't remember any others but TTC is easily my fave hiphop LP so far, don't worry bout it being french.

J-Live is so boring and earnesty.

― bob zemko, Friday, 7 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

So far, of what I've heard, I like the Wilco, Blackalicious, and Rovo's live album Tonic 2001 the best.

― o. nate, Friday, 7 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Like Kris, I also enjoy nearly everything on modern rock radio. In fact, I will be more excited about the new Sonic Youth if they can get a single onto the radio that can compete with what's on there now. I rate "Hard To Explain" pretty highly as well. (Mostly I just rate anyone who can bring sort-of-Smithsy jangle-mope onto the radio.) Other highlights:

Tool - "Schism": It's deceptively monotonous, then it drips this fragile icicle guitar line while he moans coldly, then explodes into one of the most cathartic climaxes in recent rock memory. The truth is that I love anyone who can bring prog-metal wank onto the radio.

System Of a Down - "Toxicity": My favourite single of the half- year. What a great voice, what a burnt-out verse and intense jarring chorus.

Blink 182 - "Girl At the Rockshow": I might have picked Boxcar Racer's "I Feel So" (mostly I'm just happy to hear someone bring pop- emo anthem cheese onto the radio - I don't mind the Dashboard Confessional single at all so far) but I know the lyrics to that one and they're awful (except that he wishes he was shy!). This sounds like a good rock show where I probably wouldn't meet a girl anyway but it's a nice thought.

Sum 41 - "In Too Deep": Even the guitar solo blows you a giant juvenile raspberry.

Rush - "Vapor Trails": I just heard this today. Not knowing what it was I turned up the jangling harmonics and pretty (seriously!) singing. Good entrance of the heavy drumming in the chorus providing a surprising dramatic moment. Now they sound like a solid young Canadian modern rock band not like old men singing soft-rock shit about bleeding-heart causes. Really I just rate that they actually managed to make a listenable single for the first time in, what, fifteen years?

Andrew WK's I Get Wet is a damn fine slice of Cookie-Monster- leading-a-Kiss-and-Abba-jam-session euphoria.

As live music goes, Bernard Parmegiani was amazing at Rien a Voir, Voivod was amazing opening for Motorhead, 'Gypt Gore (Sam Shalabi & Philemon) were great on March 5, Goa Gajah were great a little while ago, and I'm hoping Sunny Murray will be great tomorrow night.
