(lol I know regex and you don't)

"a cut above the pack"?

anyway, i'm surprised there's nothing here from The For Carnation

I'm surprised there's nothing by Esoteric.

Never got round to hearing The For Carnation, probably ought to. There's an Esoteric track in the 'Bubbling Under' section, accompanied by loads of indie :D

you could, Louis, but it's not very good

I should make an attempt to listen to the 21 songs that I haven't heard, rather than immediately vote for the Deathspell Omega one and call it done.

Chris Michaels is and always has been amazingly good. Medusa comes second.

And welcome back LJ, until your next inevitable 51.

My Computer were always one of those bands i've been meaning to check out. a resounding 'meh' to that track upthread however.

how many times have you said this over the past few years greg!

Lex I know! It is the same every time, I read something like LJ's list and it totally brings back how tremblingly important and exciting music felt aged 11-23 and I youtube a few things and just feel nothing and put on Early Winter again :(

i've hard one (1) of these songs, so i'm voting for that one. even though it's like the 20th best fiery furnaces song

Esoteric – Circle

I was hoping this was a track by the band Circle and not the other way round. Lou!s, do you like Circle?

songs i was hoping u wld pick btw:

1. She will only bring u happiness

2. More than a woman

1) is rly good, 2) i cannot remember

yes i like circle, i have the album prospekt and it slays especially the first track iirc

i'm oddly happy with this. i feel at peace with my music collection now. there's not much more that i need to say about 00's music.

I would worry about you if there was!

(kidding, but wow that was a large opening post)

dammit dan seeing you here makes me regret not including 'the promise' in my 'bubbling under'

instead i will think about how smith howls 'noooooooooooo' at the end and feel well once more

TMI

wait hang on, if 'bloodflowers' is '00 rather than '99 then '39' kinda belongs in that list

ahhhhh yeah i like aaliyah's stuff, i remember giving it A+ reviews

lolol que

No Provates, no cred!

Kreibabe is the top track on last.fm for the "fucking madness" tag.

http://www.last.fm/tag/fucking%20madness/tracks

awesome!

anyway

get yourself some SANCTUARY right here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/a6sozt

Dude - you gotta listen to Provates - best fucking band ever!!!

OKOK but first YOU listen to THE TERSE CRIMP: http://www.sendspace.com/file/80p6ar

(clue as to why you should do this: it is brilliant)

Sex - thy name is Provates - but complexly structured sex, with acrobatic twists and turns

yah this is rly doing it 4 me more more plz dont stop--

wtf?

and then the part with the breathy vocals atop jaunty polyrhythms going "loba loba loba loba" - powerful stuff.

LJ seriously--Provates rule hard

Provates have the intensity of that Haacke song, and the epic staying power of Van der Graaf Generator

you have swayed me, i shall listen. everyone d/l those sendspace songs.

the first track on the latest Provates album is subaquatic chaotic bliss - like dolphins on sex chemicals

yeah it's like dolphins pumping and writhing in a cage and then they are released from the cage

I think that even objectively speaking, provates are the best songwriters of modern times, maybe the best pop songwriters ever.

xp - that's track 2 - with the most exquisite rattling sounds and earthy yet springy animalistic fervor

missed y'guys <4

we haven't even gotten to describing the other 5 tracks on the album for you

it's like the dolphins are naked and yet they're not

lemme guess track 3 is a tart confection of auricular mascarpone oozing from the very fundament of arpeggio'd valhalla

loba loba loba loba
1-2-3 1-2 1-ee-and-a 3-4-and-5

and then it crumbles - post climax - into burbling, droning elegance.

auricular marscapone--goddamn LJ i missed you

the auricular mascarpone is the mid-section of track 7, actually

its all love dude, but shut the fuck up with that noise xxpost

Great list, great post, LJ! Love a small handful of these but I will have to check out a the ones I've never heard. Thanks for reminding me of Lapsus Linguae who I was quite into for a while but completely forgot about.

blended with a massive vibrato of oyster mushrooms and the juddering triumph of camembert xps
