Bimbo ft Juliana - Con Solo Una Sonrisa

(Standard plinky plonk commercial bachata, but I like it; or perhaps, "therefore I like it" (but not really). Better than average vocals, especially some of the harmonies, but then I'm a fan of Dominican merengue diva Juliana. I've read this is actually a remake.)

Also, this new Sakanaction song is pretty decent too.

Daft Punk - Random Access Memories (Columbia, 2013)

Glad to see some love for that Widowspeak album, I've really been digging that.

seerauber jenny - loomings
underground lovers - weekend
sulk - graceless
bleeding rainbow - yeah right
mary onettes - hit the waves

sorta feel like the besnards should be in there but i need more time with it

New favorite thing I can't stop listening to, albums edition:

Gabriel Bruce - Love In Arms

What the hell. This has grown on my quite a bit and the video helps:

Shiina Ringo - Ironhanihoheto

I do agree with those who say they wish she spent less time working within the straightjacket that TV/movie theme music tends to impose. But this is good, and I can see why she gets asked to compose theme music so much considering that she see has the hang.

That Cash, Diamond Rings, Swimming Pools song is amazing, cheers.

Segue - Pacifica
Pharaohs - Replicant Moods
Slava - Raw Solutions
Ensemble Pearl - st
Function - Incubation

I trust MikoMcha in everything so please tell me about:

Steve Summers - The Outermaze
Chance the Rapper - Acid Rap

Man, most of the stuff from that list is straight from ILM anyway (and Lex's picks especially).

The Summer EP is my favorite thing from L.I.E.S. this year, along with the Dolo Percussion record. That said, I feel that some of the releases are really work better in a set, and am mostly into Ron Morelli's recent mixes, to be honest.

Chance the Rapper's Acid Rap had a lot written him, so I'm not sure what I could add. Experimental lyricism, I think of it in the wake of Kendrick Lamar and Black Hippy. West Coast sort of jazzy vibes. Not usually my sort of thing, but it's a consistent high quality tape, working well around the time I'm drinking my morning coffee.

This track is really remarkable though: Bookworms & Steve Summers - Unknown Number

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axzl79tfbcs

Forget who pointed it out on the techno bobbins thread, but would really like to hear the rest of that EP.

surprised tim hasn't heard chance the rapper

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8nIHZ-0kS4

As much as a time-capsule for myself as a heads-up, my pre summer-solstice addendum:

Lusine - The Waiting Room
No Joy - Wait to Pleasure
DJ Koze - Amygdala
Colin Stetson - New History Warfare Vol. 3: To See More Light
Little Boots - Nocturnes

Tracks:

Studio Killers - All Men Are Pigs
Jessie Ware - Imagine It Was Us
Daft Punk - Get Lucky
Little Boots - Motorway
Young Galaxy - Fall for You
Boards of Canada - Reach for the Dead

Yeah that Lusine album is lovely, I should really play it more often.

yeah i'm a fan of lusine too

14. maxmillion dunbar - house of woo

*this is not an actual album. brandy clark is an incredible country singer-songwriter recommended to me by kacey musgraves (who she's written for). her only official release is a 3-track EP on itunes but a couple of months ago there was a downloadable 12-song set on her soundcloud (including the 3 songs on the ep). it's since been taken down but that 12-song set is absolutely brilliant and totally works as an album for me. it hasn't been a great year for albums imo - outside the top 6 we're already getting into "this is a very pleasant and enjoyable effort" rather than "omg my heart and mind and body have been blown away" - but b clark is certainly the latter. there's talk of her on the kacey musgraves thread if you're interested

yup and NOTHING like the music, v disconnected artwork

oooo haven't listened to that Glasper yet, thanks for reminder

Bad Sports - Bras [not easy to google these guys, on Dirtnap Records]

I'm kind of weirded out that this doesn't seem to be on *any* year end lists. Punky Texas band having their Replacements breakthrough moment where the songwriting palette suddenly expands in all sorts of interesting ways. Lead singer has traces of David Johansen in his voice, which start to come out more and more on the album's superior 2nd half. Online reviews are mostly by well-meaning punk fans who can't write well, which probably isn't helping. This is a shoo-in for my top ten.

Spottie please get familiar with this ILM dance kru classic! (vocals and trumpets by Peven Everett)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gO5_VW1Lv3o

I feel like I've missed so much. Probably had less chance to keep up with everything this year than any in my adult life.

Bachar Mar-Khalifé - Who's Gonna Get the Ball from Behind the Wall of the Garden Today?

I didn't know he had anything out this year. I love his father Marcel Khalife's 80s album At the Border (as well as some other things here and there).

Mar-Khalife's Oil Spill had some good passages, but didn't hold up for me as an album.

Meanwhile lots of other stuff on lists posted to this thread that I have no idea about.

Spottie please get familiar with this ILM dance kru classic! (vocals and trumpets by Peven Everett)

If there's no order, why did you number them?

Just to know how many albums I've got. I cut and pasted the list.

The Oscillation - From Tomorrow

this is great -- just got it off bandcamp. didn't realize they had something new out!

Not listening to him but I suddenly am being bombarded with ads for Jake Owen. Whatever happened to stage names?

i'd forgotten about that bad sports album but will check it out again now

jake owen had one of my favorite country songs last year

same. but then again i often fall in love with random singles by vaguely interchangeable personality-free male country singers (him, billy currington, hell even joe nichols).

lol i'm a huge fan of those two as well!

i don't think either of them are wholly interchangeable tho

Albums I've liked so far this year: Parquet Courts, Haim, Vampire Weekend, Ghost BC, Fuzz, Thao and the Get Down Stay Down, Laura Marling, Waxahatchee, Rose Windows. Still need to check out the MIA, Kadavar, lots of other things...

My favorite tracks of the year: http://sctttnnnt.tumblr.com/post/69855484113/favorite-tracks-of-2013-every-year-my-listening

The new album from The Heliocentrics (13 Degrees of Reality) belongs on my list as well

Forgot to mention the new Camera Obscura as well. If you like that thing they do, they do it well.

So what's the difference between New World and World?

Oh wait, World are reissues?

"New World" as in new mostly non-English language international music releases, "world reissues" as in 2013 issued releases of old mostly-non-English music. But maybe you figured that out and are just messing with Mordy

numbered list = new world order

why no love for world psychedelic classics 1-4?

Ah, I'm not messing on purpose, just slow putting things together today :/

none of the other wpc came out in 2013! xp

saada bonaire is hot

I spent some time with Old this year, but it isn't one of my favorite records this year. Think in the end I like watching interviews with Danny Brown more than listening to his music, seems like he'd be fun to hang out with.

Ah, wrong thread!

I scratched out a year-end albums thing earlier today: http://enduser2013.tumblr.com/

Here's my 2013 recap thingy:
