Emilie Nicolas, «Like I’m a Warrior»
I just happened across this album over the tgiving holiday weekend. I'd had "Pstereo" in my Spotify best of the year list for a long time, but I didn't know there was a full LP. Unfortunately, except for one other song, it's pretty boring. :(
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, December 2, 2014 10:06 PM (3 minutes ago)
Nobody Knows is great, Grow Up also sounds good to me, the repetition works really well as a check on the song becoming trite nostalgia. Haven't really sat down with the album otherwise.
― abcfsk, Tuesday, 2 December 2014 21:13 (nine years ago) link
alvvays is OK i guess but idk how it superseded a lot of stuff on that list (or off it!) this ages & ages song is kinda wack
really dreading sylvan esso given the zings upthread
― hanley ramirez ordering a pizza (slothroprhymes), Tuesday, 2 December 2014 21:13 (nine years ago) link
That Sylvan Esso thing is atrocious.
― EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 2 December 2014 21:14 (nine years ago) link
I like Alvvays, though they have better songs than that one. Now I'm listening to Ages and Ages and I might actually hate it more than the Sylvan Esso one. Eesh.

what. the. fuck. is. this.

I refuse to visit paste again. Which horrid Ages and Ages song did they pick?

destroyer, so otm when describing esso as a more annoying tuneyards, a thing i didn't think was possible. does she have the cultural appropriation tourism issue garbus has or nah?

Thanks JF off to make myself puke in my mouth.

Made it a minute in. That's some dire shit.

Didn't really care much for the Sylvan Esso song that Paste gave number 1 to, but I don't mind the other song I've heard of hers, "Coffee".

I liked the FKA Twigs album a lot, though I need to spend more time with it - it's one of those things where I need to be in the right mood (same with Beyonce's album, actually).

pleased to see love for dolly and azealia and tinashe and miranda

best list so far by miles!
― prolego, Tuesday, 2 December 2014 22:42 (nine years ago) link
yeah p solid. wouldn't rank taylor that high above everything for 1989, tho, not with tinashe and miranda lambert and lykke and bey that far behind her
― hanley ramirez ordering a pizza (slothroprhymes), Tuesday, 2 December 2014 22:45 (nine years ago) link
Even though there are a few things on there I hate or at least don't care about, I think I agree.

i love that ilx hivemind taste intersects most closely w/ cosmo

despite the numbering, the cosmo list does say "in no particular order"
― sosmix klopp (NickB), Tuesday, 2 December 2014 22:47 (nine years ago) link
no i don't really associate cosmo w/ wussiness but maybe if i were being uncharitable a kind of rote superficiality? idk anything about their music crit nb and i like plenty of artists on that list just that i've seen a cosmo cover before in my life
― Mordy, Tuesday, 2 December 2014 22:47 (nine years ago) link
whoever built that list is gonna be fun to hang out with
― a stupid red mute juggalo (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 2 December 2014 22:48 (nine years ago) link
nahhhh
― Lorde 2Pac Beck Mashup (crüt), Tuesday, 2 December 2014 22:49 (nine years ago) link
Is that a list just by Eliza Thompson or did they poll the Cosmo staff? Just curious.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 2 December 2014 22:49 (nine years ago) link
like c'mon, this is at least a little lol that this is the magazine that closely lines up w/ ilx critical darlings

That cosmo list is excellent; all jokes, reservations, whatever much less so. Very telling, these "oh no we're like GIRLS" reactions. Btw how is a women's magazine more superficial than any of the desperate and hidebound music outlets itt? Beyond the covers cosmo, elle etc publish much more ~srs features than fucking stereogum
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 2 December 2014 23:37 (nine years ago) link
tbf Mordy is the source of that ugliness which is pretty expected at this point.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 2 December 2014 23:39 (nine years ago) link
Particularly nice to see the kelis and miranda lambert albums there; former seems to have been completely forgotten, latter I thought had a lot of support but of course lambert's positioning is all wrong for any serious music publication to acknowledge her!
Xp indeed

i couldn't do anything with the kelis album unfortunately. i tried!
