There was a lot of great music this year but I wasn't aware that anything other than DAMN. was in the running for AOTY. LCD in that slot is pretty ???

xpost That Kelly Lee Owens record was overlooked?

not by Piccadilly obv

didn't really feel like that Syd record was overlooked, but maybe "overlooked" means "came out in February and a lot has happened since then"

Between "Chuck Johnson" and "Milo" it's a pretty unfortunate year for Pitchfork bands to be using their real names

Kelly Lee Owens, Actress, DJ Sports and Gaussian Curve all got pretty major props from RA for what it's worth.

Milo's real name is Rory Ferreira, maybe he should go back to that

LCD allows middle aged balding journo bro's to imagine they're still down with the kids. "It's got those electro beats right dudes?!?"
except the kids are all over 30. along with Jamie XX it's the new dinner party music. i'll just stick to some Steely Dan or Joni, cheers.
don't care much about the new lcd album but i haven't read a post this bad in a long time.

i heard "how do you sleep" out of context and enjoyed it more than any lcd song i've heard since the early singles
the other singles were all right

xpost also f u about balding tbh - not sure what having a full head of hair has to do with the vitality of one's musical taste, samson.

xp"How Do You Sleep" is great. not sure about the album as a whole
― Dan S, Monday, 20 November 2017 15:58 (six years ago) link
that and "emotional haircut" were the only songs that stood out (in a good way) for me

12 bald men solemnly sitting round a long dining table while their host wanders off to the kitchen to fetch some cheese, each of them straining their ears to catch the LCD Soundsystem record quietly playing on the Rega turntable in the corner. each of them lost in their own post-prandial reverie, as the soft electro beats waft from the speakers like a whisper in the breeze: "you are still down with the kids"

I know we're dying to get off this topic but the balding, doughy, white Hold-Steady fan contingent has always been there for LCD since their earliest singles because their songs (cf. "Losing My Edge," "All My Friends") specifically talk about coming to terms with being an aging hipster.
The fact that they stuck with them in 2017 is just a new generation inheriting the boomer tic of thinking your opinions are important/worthwhile and has nothing to do with TEH KIDS, who are busy eating ass and listening to teenage murderers on soundcloud

a crazy thought might be that people who liked them then are 16 years older or whatever.

Eating ass. That explains the shortage of breath mints in my town.

these threads are always 90% made up of complaints about the tastes of critics who are old, lazy and bald

I'd like to state for the record that I'm old, deaf, doughy, out of touch and lazy but I actually have a lot of hair. Most of it on my ass and shoulders and coming out of my ears.

I don't see an obvious winner for the ILM eoy album poll as it stands so that might make it a little more interesting...OR could result in something like LCD actually winning.

there is certainly an obvious frontrunner for the ILM EOY poll.
for damn sure.
