The J0rdan S. listening club

20. Yarbrough & Peoples - Don't Stop The Music

20. lipps inc - how long?

21. Sylvia Striplin - You Can't Turn Me Away

xp dammit! but it's a GREAT SONG so i'm not taking it out

ok how about we stop at 30

22. I Second That Emotion - Smokey Robinson

23. Aretha Franklin - Get It Right

24. Patti Labelle - If Only You Knew

imo stop @ 25

whic we're at now

yes

misnumbered at 20

25. en vogue - my lovin' (you're never gonna get it)

Smokey Robinson is the artist of course. I fucked up the artist-song order

any more than this & it will become a chore instead of fun & he'll put off listening or will only give cursory listens on youtube or something (idk thats what id do anyway)

lex we're at 25 already -- j0rdan dont listen to that one lol

maybe when we start again we can focus on something other than R&B too tbh

hey wait where's my turn

j/k

i look fwd to reading reactions, also i would like to be in the albums rotation but suppose i'd better get in line behind the goons

yeah i was gonna put some female-fronted alt stuff in, knowing that j0rdan loves yyys/be your own pet. only got round to pj harvey tho.

make it a theme for each 25? next 25 could be synth pop or jazz or indie or some other genre?

that's a great idea

I was just thinking that. Maybe it will best to have Jordan pick a genre he knows nothing about and then recommend 5-10 songs. I thought it was r&b since this originated from a r&b/hip hop thread.

ok jordan, 2500 words by tomorrow so we can start again

and let jordan choose the genre he feels in the mood for checking out. I dont think you want skot posting 25 grindcore tracks!

going forward we should prob limit the tracks to 20 & the contributions to a couple per person? idk maybe that makes it less fun & too restrictive

kind of hilarious how j0rdan is off doing whatever while we're trying to corral this budding monster

Next up: the J0rdan S Boys Club, in which we tell him what guys he'd most like.

J0rdan S Club 7

not knowing smokey robinson is like ridic imo my god

just shaken to the core

actually it's awesome: the thought of all that aural goodness to come.

17. sisters love - give me your love

lol this is like the best song ever and also the one i love by them is mr. fix-it man

soul jazz put out an awesome comp a few years ago. like the best.

xp

yeah, hope "I Second That Emotion" will do it's job here

xxp

yeah i was gonna put some female-fronted alt stuff in, knowing that j0rdan loves yyys/be your own pet. only got round to pj harvey tho.

wouldnt like lydia lunch or the slits or smthng make way more sense as a precedent for yyys and like hole maybe for byop

maybe idk i got bored of yyys after fever to tell and i really only like a few songs by byop in the end

Sup y'all

Ill start reviewing these later tonight at some point -- I'm going off to dinner in a few

I don't really wanna specify a genre or w/e but you guys can follow each other's lead -- that said I mostly wanna keep this in r&b/soul/pop/disco w/e -- I have enough friends irl trying to get me to listen to the stones

I'm not ironclad on this one album every two weeks thing -- I'd say that's a deadline for myself but it wouldn't be like we'd have to wait 9 days to post a new album or w/e

i might just be saying that bc i dont really like pj harvey and she seems like someone your sisters gay friend from university would be really into or smthng

Also based on my sleeping habits and general style of living most of my updates itt will likely be during the hours of like 1-4 am est

maybe i'll do them in @discographies style -- i've always wanted to be the rock critic of the year

1-6 thomas keller's roast chicken 7-13 roscoe's chicken wings 14-16 chicken fried steak 17-23 chicken mgnuggets 24-25 chicken flavored dog food

we can also recommend good frozen food.

1. frankie wilson - do i love you (indeed i do)

i love this song! the thing that hits me immediately is how well it's produced, in that way that's very 1960s -- you can make out what every instrument's doing but also how they interact etc -- anyway, great song -- i'm a sucker for jubilant romantic shit like this

chicken FLAVOURED hotdog?!

somebody get a fire extinguisher

2. Alexander O'Neal - "Fake"

ha this guy looks v fierce -- honestly i'm not a huge fan of a lot of the sounds of the '80s, i think this has gotten me in trouble on ilx before -- anyway, this song is pretty cool -- bass is nice, altho i think it's still a bit... chintzy on the whole -- that said, i can see easily how stuff i grew up hearing as a kid (i guess boyz II men obv, maybe even like montell jordan) was borne out of a song like this -- not explicitly in the sonics, but just generally speaking

you're off my list, pal ;)

someone needs to throw a Billy Ocean song in there

I was going to!

Soto OTM

xpost

totally but it's worth the effort. i am STILL going methodically (and at least three times per song) through this ILX/critbait best of 2014 playlist, alphabetically by artist

i'm about halfway through "i"

loved this thread.

self-servingly thinking of starting a Tim F. listening club.

I would happily participate in a Tim F. listening club thread.

^^^^^

same though i think tim has already listened to most of the emo i'd earnestly introduce him to

tim, how deep is your knowledge of smokey robinson?

would love to do a TIm F thread

would be afraid he'd know everything already

would prob go either hardcore rap or hardcore jazz or ... pulling away from pop without abandoning it entirely music

Tim, how do you like Huun Huur Tu?

I have not listened (or properly listened) to Smokey Robinson or Huun Huur Tu or most of Brad's earnestly introduced emo.

Imma start a thread.

(or a lot of hardcore rap/jazz)
