So we're fuck-all of the way through 2008; what records are worth attention?

What?

i guess i just dont really know diverse music

His Dirty South Dance mix was also just incredible. Check that one too.

welcome back dk lol

haha does dk listen to a-trak now??? first nastradamus, now this

Rob, I'm pretty sure most here anyone who knows of A-Trak is aware of both his background and his tastes. and what is hazing you for stating things that are obvious and getting excited about someone he considers passe. You'll probably get more hazing from him and others. Don't worry about it. Welcome to ILX.

i just meant dude's clueless stuck-in-03 hollertronixism sounds like a jawns'n'jernts parody instead of actual posting

i guess maybe i can ask shipley to check the hollerboard and let me know if dudes still actually talk like that

borad up the house - genghis tron
man in the mirror - rhymefest
heretic pride - mountain goats
i am legend - young dro

that's all so far that's really grabbed me. i guess i need to get up on atlas sound?

can we write a script where this becomes the auto response to the first zing on an intro thread

What is your problem is "And What"?

What is your problem, I mean.

Anyway thanks for the welcome Reverend.

Let's anticipate Lil Wayne, "The Carter III"

No problem.

vampire weekend, hot chip, los camp!, high places, the dream, rick ross, webbie, be your own pet

Problem.

So far I like:

Autechre
Times New Viking
El Guincho
Victrola Favorites
Excepter CD

i have a list i plan on posting elsewhere

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v212/etienne_saint/o9irkn.jpg

I made a top 10 of the year so far. Boredom! yaaaay!

1) Sun Kil Moon - April
2) Genghis Tron - Board Up The House
3) The Magnetic Fields - Distortion
4) The Ravonettes - Lust Lust Lust (I'm as surprised as you are)
5) The Goslings - Occasion
6) The Mountain Goats - Heretic Pride
7) Beach House - Devotion (again, quite surprised)
8) Autistic Daughters - Uneasy Flowers
9) Jucifer - L'autrichienne
10) Atlas Sound - Let The Blind Lead Those Who Can See But Cannot Hear

I'm sure Boris, Portishead, and The Breeders would be on there if I'd heard them.

That Atlas Sounds album sounded pretty shithouse the one play i gave it.

I also mixed up the title of that album. its Feel not Hear. I suck.

beach house, hercules, portishead, constantines, destroyer, el guincho, dodos, sian alice group, in that order.

Spiritualized, Youthmovies. I mentioned Cadence Weapon, right?

new Indian Jewelry is kinda alright too

It's all about dOP for me this year I reckon.

Dodos - Visiter is the best 2008 record so far.

What is your problem is "And What"?

never forget

lol was just about to say RIP

gonna listen to Protest the Hero for the first time later tonight

Diary of a 40 yr old still getting kicks from old favorites:

The Fall - Imperial Wax Solvent
Nick Cave - Dig, Lazarus, Dig!!!
Robert Forster - The Evangelist
Jay Clarkson - Over The Mountain
Jason Ringenberg - Best Tracks And Side Tracks
Minisnap - Bounce Around (they're The Bats minus lead singer Robert Scott)
They Might Be Giants - Here Come The 123s (fun for kids & adults!)

And a bit from younger bands:
British Sea Power - Do You Like Rock Music?
Die! Die! Die! - Promises, Promises

Good but not great:
Magnetic Fields - Distortion
Billy Bragg - Mr. Love & Justice
Ruby Suns - Sea Lion
Robyn Hitchcock - Shadowcat
Sons & Daughters - This Gift

18th Dye - "Amorine Queen" another good one for the old folk.

Pigeons
D Charles Speer

Both on Black Dirt, probably my two favorite releases of the year so far.

i'm so excited about listening to protest the hero and playing mario and drinking beers tonight

2008 > 2007 so far for me. I would feel pretty good putting Hercules & Love Affair, Vampire Weekend, M83, Cut Copy, Kaki King, Atlas Sound, and Kelley Polar in a top 10.

protest the hero is fucking awesome.

need to hear everything jaymc listed

yeah my 4-5 favorite albums this year> 4-5 favorite albums last year, and i thought 07 was crazy strong

I'm not having the same experience wrt 2008 vs 2007. I dig the Ruby Suns album and I like the Vampire Weekend album a lot, but aside from those two albums nothing is bumping my favorites of 07 off any hypothetical lists.

I don't see anything bumping Portishead out of #1 for me, but I kind of hope something great enough comes along out of nowhere and does. That, whatever it will be, is something I can't wait to hear.

new Helen Love is great.

I am liking this Dengue Fever album more and more.

I'm excited about the new Weird Weeds album, I was sure that I knew them from somewhere and I finally remembered it's cause some of 'em played with Jandek. The track I played off of their new CD today was quite nice and I need to listen to the whole record.

also, The Fall's Imperial Wax Solvent is my favorite of the year so far.

This new Henry Fiol album, De Cachete, which you can download (in a good quality copy) from his own website, is quite good. This isn't, by a long stretch, my favorite sub-style of salsa, yet I've been listening to it over and over again. (Granted, that's partly due to the general dearth of decent new salsa.) Anyway, it's very much a roots-oriented sound, heavy on acoustic guitar, but Fiol puts his own stamp on it.

how the hell did a new fall album slip under my radar???

Seemingly everything involving Peverelist has been fantastic.

Thomas Function? Arctic Monkeys of 2008?

stupid name for a group, but i really like the Fuck Buttons record

xpost hahaha

Yeah, i'm going to buy that Fuck Buttons album as soon as I get paid. Its really very very cool.
