"But have you seen my records?"... The LCD Soundsystem 'Losing My Edge' POLL

nakhchivan, you are officially...

― acoleuthic, Saturday, 12 February 2011 11:56 (fourteen years ago)

the extent to which yr vote acts as commentary upon ilxor's previous, necessarily inferior poll is up to you

― itv digital manqué (nakhchivan), Saturday, 12 February 2011 11:59 (fourteen years ago)

oh I get it, the recycling is a conscious artistic gesture which validates your craft through vampiric absorption of the innocent former

Never heard of Index before. Amazing cover.

― HOOS the master?? STEEN NUFF (BIG HOOS aka the steendriver), Saturday, 12 February 2011 22:13 (fourteen years ago)

I used to think this song was cool but it's actually not that cool.

― billstevejim, Saturday, 12 February 2011 22:35 (fourteen years ago)

..which is the point, of course

― henry s, Saturday, 12 February 2011 22:38 (fourteen years ago)

In terms of whose music I like best it's Faust or Juan Atkins, but in terms of whose inclusion in this list makes me happiest it's 10cc or Althea & Donna. Will prob vote 10cc as a compromise between the two.

― cellular nekomata (a passing spacecadet), Saturday, 12 February 2011 22:49 (fourteen years ago)

I gotta vote Fania All-Stars just for the way they stick out from everything else.

― that's not funny. (unperson), Saturday, 12 February 2011 22:56 (fourteen years ago)

index are fantastic but there is no way i'm not voting for section 25

― miss pansy twist (electricsound), Saturday, 12 February 2011 22:58 (fourteen years ago)

dorothy ashby also stickin out imo

― HOOS the master?? STEEN NUFF (BIG HOOS aka the steendriver), Saturday, 12 February 2011 23:03 (fourteen years ago)

― itv digital manqué (nakhchivan), Saturday, 12 February 2011 23:05 (fourteen years ago)

the swans sticks out for me, only partially because that's not their name.

― Antoine Bugleboy (Merdeyeux), Sunday, 13 February 2011 04:05 (fourteen years ago)

Has anyone done a poll like this based off of "Can U Dig It?" cos if not, we should.

― Senor DingDong (Trayce), Sunday, 13 February 2011 07:05 (fourteen years ago)

Great poll. Hope it doesn't end with shit results like the one L0ui5 linked to.

― sex cells (S-), Sunday, 13 February 2011 07:16 (fourteen years ago)

voted Pharoah Sanders b/c shit's been blowing my mind six ways to sunday over on the jazz recommendations thread

― Damn this thread seems so....different without ilxor (ilxor), Sunday, 13 February 2011 15:43 (fourteen years ago)

always vote royal trux.

the index album is wildly overrated imo.

― not everything is a campfire (ian), Sunday, 13 February 2011 15:48 (fourteen years ago)

after listening to the index 50 times i kind of agree with you now, but when i first heard it at 19 during the first summer on my own, after moving to los angeles from north carolina, trying to stay in love with a girl who had broken my heart, it was glorious and will always have a very special place in my heart.

― Captain Ahab, Sunday, 13 February 2011 18:05 (fourteen years ago)

all i know about the index is that a copy of their self-pressed album goes for about $3000 nowadays.

― http://i56.tinypic.com/xnsu1g.gif (max arrrrrgh), Sunday, 13 February 2011 18:13 (fourteen years ago)

Aren't there like only two copies in existence?

― Fig On A Plate Cart (Alex in SF), Sunday, 13 February 2011 18:39 (fourteen years ago)

challenge ilx to try & come up with a cooler list of bands w/o repeating any of thse

― flopson, Sunday, 13 February 2011 18:43 (fourteen years ago)

I don't think that would be hard at all. This is a cool list of bands, but there are no shortage of amazing bands out there.

― Fig On A Plate Cart (Alex in SF), Sunday, 13 February 2011 18:45 (fourteen years ago)

that's harsh on fennesz....even if he is indelibly associated with the 2k1 era p4ktronicawave

― itv digital manqué (nakhchivan), Sunday, 13 February 2011 19:03 (fourteen years ago)

― Fig On A Plate Cart (Alex in SF), Sunday, 13 February 2011 19:55 (fourteen years ago)

Aren't there like only two copies in existence?

there's a small handful of the first one out there, but something like 3-4 of their second one..

― miss pansy twist (electricsound), Sunday, 13 February 2011 21:09 (fourteen years ago)

i just listened to that Index cover 4 times in a row. awesome.

― circa1916, Sunday, 13 February 2011 21:22 (fourteen years ago)

Who are the Lower 48 btw?

I wondered that on the previous poll (have a CD by a not particularly interesting math-rock band of that name who surely post-date Losing My Edge) but this line is surely "Laurent Garnier", isn't it?

― cellular nekomata (a passing spacecadet), Sunday, 13 February 2011 21:42 (fourteen years ago)

surely, surely, Shirley... I've never been so sure in my life!

― cellular nekomata (a passing spacecadet), Sunday, 13 February 2011 21:42 (fourteen years ago)

― basically just a 2/47 freak out (sic), Sunday, 13 February 2011 22:55 (fourteen years ago)

and yeah that's definitely Laurent Garnier, SBing nakhchivan

― basically just a 2/47 freak out (sic), Sunday, 13 February 2011 23:05 (fourteen years ago)

I hadn't noticed a bunch of these before (A-Ha?!), voted for GIL...SCOTT...HERON!!!

― Pisle of dogs (seandalai), Sunday, 13 February 2011 23:06 (fourteen years ago)

sb'd sic for implying i was reponsible for transcribing that myself rather than c&ping

― itv digital manqué (nakhchivan), Sunday, 13 February 2011 23:07 (fourteen years ago)

― basically just a 2/47 freak out (sic), Sunday, 13 February 2011 23:20 (fourteen years ago)
