shhhhh secret thread to talk about music without getting into a high-pitched ilm shriekfest on whatever thread is going on atm

no

but i bet it would make me very very sad

FUCK YOU AL JOURGENSON, YOU HAVE BEEN WORTHLESS FOR 20 YEARS

oh fuuuuuuuuuuck this

I KNOW

I mean, you listen to horseshit like that and then you go back to random rarity tracks from their early career like "I'm Falling" and it's like "why did you repudiate everything that made you good and interesting in favor of becoming the world's worst band"

for reference: http://open.spotify.com/track/6zS95UFujKevZZjbiBrDEH

great band: http://open.spotify.com/track/0xeDLCRWblZsk3qfojrRqM

this just in: Disintegration is awesome

apparently there is an emcee out there named Tity Boi

RIP hip-hop 1978-2007

mabye he is just very fastidious, have you thought of that mr man

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBx-M2oRBLg

somehow I don't think so

hmmmmm

it is somewhat less surprising to learn that Tity Boi worked with Weezy

*ribald jeffersons joke*

you know what today's theme is, is this

QUESTION

also I am listening to the new Florence & the Machine album and I am surprised that she isn't foghorning ever song into submission...?

http://open.spotify.com/album/5SxudoALxEAVh9l83kSebx

lol of course the instant I post that she starts blaring LOVER TO LOVER TO LOVER TO LOVER TO LOVER TO LOVER TO LOVER TO LOVER TO LOVER TO LOVER TO LOVER TO LOVER TO LOVER TO LOVER TO LOVER TO LOVER TO LOVER TO LOVER TO LOVER TO LOVER TO LOVER TO LOVER TO LOVER TO LOVER

digging Single Gun Theory today, had kind of forgotten how much I like "Surrender"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdIsupFaL_8

why did this pop into my head

also how do I get a job as Shakira's monitor speaker

omfg how did I forget about this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AK4QWu70E1g&feature=related

lol 90s

Youtube is a treasure trove of Movement tracks

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AK4QWu70E1g&feature=related

you guys

remember They Eat Their Own?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJc7F3vhx4U

oh also, were Nada Surf always kind of great and I just never noticed?

Rusko really makes me *eternal sadface*

he's got this great starting track called "Somebody To Love" that starts out as old-school UK hardcore/breakbeat and sounds like it's going to be a total sunny throwback, and then it just WALLOWS in this lumpen unenergetic dubstep fart beat and it's just fucking terrible

like, just don't do the dubstep bullshit and you'd be amazing! the only time it really worked for you was "Hammertime"

;_; this thread

i wanna talk about this. -ilm

pro tip - searching for LP or halo or LP+halo on ilx is a hopeless endeavor

holy shit

I kind of adore this woman

"halo halo halo" becomes "ella ella ella"

do her lungs go to her knees? sounds like trickery

pssst

this is prob a total promo setup but still pretty charming

dear dang perrrrry, i want to start a full on "people who are actually technically impressive and adept singers and i know because i am one of them" thread on ilm but i will need your backup. also maybe that is not a good title.

oh hey, look at this

I would totally support that thread if you still want to start it

is this a good place for me to go through the ilm tracks list

note: didnt vote

77 - moody spookfest that seems to have a less soprano kate bush quality to it, inobtrusive autotuney nonsense that doesn't really need to be here. until we get to the chorus and then we get a batshit load of it that i don't want/need. def not anywhere near the other stuff i have heard by her.

dude you should have voted

also come post on that thread, we could use a good shriekfest

75. chromatics - cut rate m83 with a female vocal? maybe a grower? i dont like it. something of an ignorable 90s 4ad vibe going on.

75. alunageorge - i dig this, although there is a little more baby voice going on than i prefer, i dont need cutesy signifiers. something i wouldnt turn off, but not something i would spend a lot of time with.

those people scare me and i am at the most casually invested in any of this tho

74. andres - innocuous. odd to imagine people getting really excited about this. ever. makes me think of the soundtrack you would get in those "Minds Eye" early computer graphic film compilations. this would be the one where you were a poorly rendered bird flying over a jungle island landscape.

be ready to say that about half of the things ppl voted for; the 2010s are really becoming an age where everyone wants the edges sanded off of their music

otm :(

I mean, I love glossy smoothness too but I can't live my entire life on it and the phobic degree some ppl exhibit when something is the least bit messy or aggressive is baffling to me

73. javiera mena - what happened i was napping i think a lady might have done a downtempo cover of Bailamos

71. pulp - before i heard this i was really looking forward to making a "haha no one listens to pulp anymore do they". and now i can.

dropping a dissonant track into an ILM end of year countdown thread is akin to saying something nice about the working class at the dowager countess' table.
