Rolling last.fm thread 2009 no haters!

xp well, quite apart from the politics of 'should'...

I have cuckooland, and I've heard a fair bit of other wyatt, as a couple of friends are big, big fans. I respect the guy a lot for many reasons, but aside from soft machine his work just doesn't quite reach me. it's possibly the voice.

Really? Not even Rock Bottom? It's worth a listen for the production at the very least. The last minute or so of "Sea Song" is one of the most gorgeous moments in pop music IMO.

'sea song's probably the tune of his I know best. I agree, it's beautiful – in theory. but I shamefully admit that I just don't feel it.

I'm clearly all dead inside.

O, I made no such pronouncement.

didn't mean to suggest you did...just an acknowledgement of the charred lump that resides in my chest.

I thought the 80s album poll might have made a dent in the charts but it seems not.

probably because it's usually full of 80s bands like new order

ahem guess who's leading the ILXOR festival league

the only guy who changed his line up in desperation to win?

BINGO

it's even more pathetic now btw

how do you listen to an album if the entire thing is available for streaming? If I play the first track it doesn't go to the next one automatically...

no idea, but i believe you can if you have firefox/greasemonkey and the relevant script

dan are you still trying really really hard to top the fantasy festival group?

not really, but if it happens, it happens

Yeah right, youre desperate to win it!

what is the relevant script...

will be here somewhere http://userscripts.org/scripts/search?q=last.fm

dunno if this is it

when did placebo start getting popular again? They seem to be on the overs of lots of magazines recently. Have they toured with Muse and crossedover to their fans or something? It's just weird that people care about them now after years and years of noone giving a fuck, at least Muse always remained (inexplicably) popular.

youre just trying to trick dan into putting them on his festival so we can all laugh at him arent you

lol not at all , they just seem to be getting lots of press attention and made the last.fm top 20 most played act of 2009.
I think Dan knows how to top the ilxor group, he has it all worked out.

i thought results went up weds?

http://media.normalisr.com/media/charts/OrneryCat-overall-20.jpg

Predictably Feldman moves way up.

Great to see Durutti at 18 in your list.

I think Placebo support in the UK has been pretty much consistent since they first appeared. They've been solid top 10 with just about every album without ever threatening to be big. They've hit #1 in France with every album since Black Market Music almost 10 years ago. Never made a dent in the US but maybe that's changing?
