i actually haven't been inspired by any albums new or old for a few months if anyone still opening this thread wants to throw some suggestions out there
loved this thread.
self-servingly thinking of starting a Tim F. listening club.

If you never got around to this, it's a pretty goddamn fine idea.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 16 April 2015 06:47 (nine years ago) link
I would happily participate in a Tim F. listening club thread.

Not 100% familiar with OG version of this thread, but if it's just "essential older albums", then:
Grace Jones - NightclubbingLizzy Mercier Descloux - Mambo NassauKate Bush - The DreamingEvelyn "Champagne" King - Get Loose
some of these might be too weird idk

why is jaymc surprised by me re: pj harvey or roxy music, fuck's sake
i'm so wary of getting into the blue nile
― lex pretend, Thursday, 16 April 2015 07:35 (nine years ago) link
i'm not surprised by either of those! i was amused in a posts v. much in character way.
― jaymc, Thursday, 16 April 2015 07:36 (nine years ago) link
it's also strange how many disparate exchanges i remember actually happened here (like the tricky discussion or the jungle one)
― lex pretend, Thursday, 16 April 2015 07:36 (nine years ago) link
xp admittedly, the "pj harvey" mention wasn't particularly interesting. but i'd only then read the first 100 posts or so of the thread and i just liked that it was going so well.
― jaymc, Thursday, 16 April 2015 07:37 (nine years ago) link
that's part of what i liked about reading this thread. so wide-ranging.

i heard the supremes on the radio this morning and was just thinking about how when you listen to Old Music, a lot of the time it feels very dutiful, even when you can appreciate it (actually that might feel even more awkward than just disliking it), but every so often is like an artist or a band's entire deal hits you completely at once and it feels a bit overwhelmingly joyful (this happened with me and the supremes about a decade ago i guess)

when you listen to Old Music, a lot of the time it feels very dutiful,
I sort of feel this about all music where i know what it is before i actually hear it. Almost like i have already heard it with someone else's ears and am unable to hear it for itself. Hearing the name not the sound

a lot of the time it feels very dutiful
I'd probably say "sometimes" instead of "a lot of the time," because my day to day playlists ping pong between the last six decades pretty freely. But yeah, if I'm sitting down to listen to some long-form prog or psych something or other, it feels like fucking work.

Caveat: It may be that i am still not fully recovered from the EOY listening poll and the spotify-at-work guy

Serious investigation into the works of Jam-Lewis very necessary imo

tim, how deep is your knowledge of smokey robinson?
― Heez, Friday, 17 April 2015 04:49 (nine years ago) link
would love to do a TIm F thread
would be afraid he'd know everything already
― deej loaf (D-40), Friday, 17 April 2015 05:08 (nine years ago) link
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?
― Premise ridiculous. Who have two potato? (forksclovetofu), Friday, 17 April 2015 05:20 (nine years ago) link
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.
― Tim F, Friday, 17 April 2015 10:37 (nine years ago) link
(or a lot of hardcore rap/jazz)
