it's gonna be difficult for 2014 to suck more than 2013. in 2013 even my once fave band yo la tengo succeeded in releasing the crappiest and most boring album of their entire career. they have become shittier with each release after "summer sun". without mbv, kurt vile, israel nash gripka and nick cave 2013 would have been a total wasteland.

it's that one dude who collects all of the original numbered copies of the White Album. he made a recording of side A of 100 of them playing at the same time. it quickly becomes beatles ambient music. awesome.

man I wish I had heard Youth Code in time for the 2013 poll nominations. I don't keep up with EBM normally but this is right in my zone, especially Sick Skinned which sounds like early Ministry or something.

So far I've been going through the 2013 ILM tracks nominations so mostly that. It's led to me discovering Bilal (prefer his other two albums really) and the genius of the Charli XCX album. Totally unrelated to that I've listened to a bunch of Sleater-Kinney albums for the first time and have become a bit obsessed with them.

New Alt-J so thin keep wanting 2 brush it away. Look fwd 2 Spotify commercials. Actual bests: Weeny "Left Hand Free," daycare cover art.The Pains of Being Pure At Heart's's Days of Abandon Deluxe Edition adds five keepers, esp. "Poison Touch," ft. lithe beats & A Sunny Day In Glasgow's Jen Goma, as do all the best tracks, though The Pains' own vocals have grown on me okay (still not great, but they do their bit). Nerf layers accumulate on the three duds, but mostly, this dream pop earns its tag and actually rocks a bit (most of the distinctive instrumental turns come from the rhythm section).
