The J0rdan S. listening club

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

DON'T BE SURPRISED IF YOU WAKE UP WITH THE HEAD OF RICH WALTZ BESIDE YOU

OK for the albums rotation, it looks like it'll be:

1) the lex 2) me 3) alfred (i think? not totally clear if he was signing up 4) ilxor 5) whoever wants to go for it!

and i think generally ppl can just go in whenever j0rdan says he's ready for the next selection, or at least we'll try that unless it becomes apparent a firmer schedule would help.

yeah I'm in

lol, ilxor if you give me some merzbow crap i'm gonna skip over if fyi

btw i like the anthony o neal song!! i just don't love it

ANTHONY

btw how are we defining "album" -- a studio album or a comp of our own design?

"Fake" and "Do I Love You", both classic. great choices!

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

posts v. much in character

Alfred

I'd prefer an artist album

yeah let's keep albums albums -- doing a mix just seems like a way to do 20 song picks at once

ill take the one after soto-mayor

mayor of sototon

thanks for the screen name ideas, bros.

i'll go after deej

that's whiney's job

BAM

i think it's cool that j0rdan didn't seem v interested/steeped in older music & found moments of threads i've read where his ignorance of some unavoidable cultural cornerstone was exposed endearing. idk why but it just seems cool

yeah i mean it's more gentle ribbing than "what is WRONG with you," at least as far as i'm concerned. i just think it's funny how voracious his curiosity for new/recent music is and how little that seems to extend to older music, and if that's gonna keep being a topic of discussion on different threads we may as well make kind of a game of it.

100% approve of this thread, just wanted to say i think j0rdan is cool

chic - good times
