l0u1s jagg3r's 23 Best Songs Of The Decade!

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

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

LOL who is this for?

need i even ask

if jjusten's comment was directed at me - then the last i'll say about Provates, is that i bet that LJ's new girlfriend would also think they rule.

can i just direct some <3 at everything who introduced me to cardiacs and basically is indirectly responsible for half of this list what with that band's mind-expanding capabilities

When Geir's ban is over I look forward to his top 50 melodic songs of the decade poll

nah my comment was directed at lj who, although i love him like a brother, is one step away from getting the word "oozing" added to my list of hilarious board substitutions.

so what's the substitution associated with Ulver?

i was just listening to the Kayo Dot song (which isn't my favorite song on that album) and there are some similarities between it and the Ulver song, that I'm trying to put my finger on, that could help explain to me specifics of how lj's taste and mine differ.

use of the 'structured descent into intensity'?

You know how I said that Shining 'have probably listened to some King Crimson'?

xp - no, that's a pretty common musical form/structure. The similarity had to do with vocal tonality, chord changes, and some similarity in notes/melodic lines.

why yes i adore advanced chord-changes

dude

xp - i think i've mentioned this before, but i have noticed that you tend to prefer "smoother" sounding vocals than i do.

not always! i love the fall...and lots of cookie-metal...

there's something to be said abt my melodic/tonal sensibilities tho

. . .

hey sarahel did u know that zach hill is the drummer in wavves just fyi

i did not know this. zach hill is the michael jordan of drumming imo

wavves r no monstars tho

xp - lj: i'm not saying always - but it seems like the stuff you like the most has a similar vocal quality and there are certain melodic similarities.

wavves r no monstars tho

I love you for this.

sarahel my favourite band is cardiacs and the singer has an EXTREMELY abrasive albeit tuneful vocal style

I need to stop seeing "Cardigans" every time someone mentions "Cardiacs"

the fleeting hope whenever i enter a major music retailer and look at the name-cards

hahaha my 7th-placed artist's cover of my sixth-placed song is AMAZING

Super Furry Animals - (Drawing) Rings Around The World (3.30)

This song is a bit short, isn't it?

it's true, they could have made it 15 minutes long and i'd have probably put it 9th

I wish him every benevolence in his ongoing recovery from heart-attack-induced brain damage

Fit of giggles here

re Cardiacs-related misreadings, I need to shop misreading the board on the pub next to my bus stop which says "LIVE MUSIC: Dave SMITH and the CADILLACS"

plus I suspect there have been approx 6000 bands called the Cadillacs in the history of music so maybe someone else in the bus queue is getting wrongly excited without having to misread it

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

IMPORTANT POLL

the only song i know for def i've heard is chris michaels

but that is pretty great

i've heard four of these. i like the four i've heard, though generally prefer other songs on the albums - did i post that before?
