Best New/Recent Release That I Bought Today?

Message Bookmarked

Bookmark Removed

I haven't bought this many new releases on a single day in fuck knows how long. I haven't heard any of these yet, except the first half of the Raveonettes album, which I listened to on the way home, and it is excellent (though less blissfully noisy than their last one). If any of the other five albums are better, well... here's your chance to set me straight. Any strong opinions out there?

im saying, who cares what albums you bought today & which one is the best

― lorax body spray (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 7 October 2009 01:51 (sixteen years ago)

all of those are still not as bad as you starting a poll centered around yourself

― Mr. Que, Wednesday, 7 October 2009 01:51 (sixteen years ago)

what do you need reinforcement to make sure you bought the right things?

― Mr. Que, Wednesday, 7 October 2009 01:53 (sixteen years ago)

and you retard, all of those polls have a 'theme' that is not "what albums did some random poster buy today" - i know this might be tough for the guy who makes polls to find out what concerts he should go to but sheesh

let's poll "which jpg of a chick eating a hot dog would heave ho jerk off to first"

― lorax body spray (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 7 October 2009 01:55 (sixteen years ago)

You guys are welcome to discuss the albums. That was my intent. I don't need justification for my tastes, I already shelled out $70 something for the albums and I'm looking forward to each. I was just wondering who else was digging which of these and why.

But of course, it's always more fun to flame. It wouldn't be ILX without it!

is there some way to turn this poll into that poll

it's more like "weekly instance of someone bitching about poll overload" but b/w this and the vampire weekend s/t poll, it's just like, let's all chill out and let the ink wash off our index fingers

i will rep for my polls any day--we can poll who's polls are better and i will win the poll

i've only started one poll, and i think it was awesome

― somewhere a poll is missing its wacky write-in vote (sarahel), Wednesday, 7 October 2009 02:03 (sixteen years ago)

oh wait, two polls - both of which were awesome

crap - actually three polls, and one was kinda blah, and i started it because i was sick of polls

I'm going to go read that Led Zep v. The Decemberists one.

― Daniel, Esq., Wednesday, 7 October 2009 02:08 (sixteen years ago)

a. mr que makes awesome polls

b. i have basically no problem with logical polls that are united by something like the same artist or producer or label etc etc etc - what i do find intensely annoying is when people poll albums such as "what is the best album as ranked by this completely random site that no one on this message board except for 4 people care about" and "what albums that i bought today are the best"

― lorax body spray (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 7 October 2009 02:08 (sixteen years ago)

OKAY "CHER" IS NOT "THE DECEMBERISTS."

― Daniel, Esq., Wednesday, 7 October 2009 02:08 (sixteen years ago)

Will do.

― лампа (Lamp), Wednesday, 7 October 2009 02:09 (sixteen years ago)

my polls suck. i always think i'll get into the spirit of things if i start one, but they are just a drag and almost always a waste of time.

― scott seward, Wednesday, 7 October 2009 02:09 (sixteen years ago)

this answer is still 100% bullshit

American Pie 62

scott you are so awesome and such a great musical resource you don't even need polls. you're beyond polls.

― somewhere a poll is missing its wacky write-in vote (sarahel), Wednesday, 7 October 2009 02:10 (sixteen years ago)

fagstrocities would be a good band name. good one, califonicator.

― scott seward, Wednesday, 7 October 2009 02:11 (sixteen years ago)

Most polls on ILX are pointless, really. I think the key effect of a "successful" poll is to generate discussion. Which, clearly, I have -- just not the type I intended.

(several xposts)

― I just wish he hadn't adopted the "ilxor" moniker (ilxor), Wednesday, 7 October 2009 02:11 (sixteen years ago)

This poll is okay because it reminded me that the Mission of Burma album is out and I need to go pick it up.

I think the poll question itself is tough; FWIW, Califone doesn't get enough love.
