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.
― nashwan, Monday, 20 November 2017 17:29 (six years ago) link
there is certainly an obvious frontrunner for the ILM EOY poll.
for damn sure.

An aside, there are some nice tracks on that Kelly Lee Owens for those who don't know - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IzEaFeIwbuk

that kelly lee owens record is awesome
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Monday, 20 November 2017 17:37 (six years ago) link
idk which record lj is talking about
BRADLEY
― faked potato (Noodle Vague), Monday, 20 November 2017 17:37 (six years ago) link
One might say that being number 1 is in the album's DNA...
― husked, tonal wails (irrational), Monday, 20 November 2017 17:38 (six years ago) link
I might humbly suggest...
(they're talking about the fourth best kendrick album)
― sleepingbag, Monday, 20 November 2017 17:40 (six years ago) link
bullshit, it might be the best one
― imago, Monday, 20 November 2017 17:41 (six years ago) link
it might be
but it isn't
― sleepingbag, Monday, 20 November 2017 17:41 (six years ago) link
Third probs. Not really sure where I place it on my best of list, but consensus has been pretty good on it, so I assume it'll be the number 1
― husked, tonal wails (irrational), Monday, 20 November 2017 17:43 (six years ago) link
Ah yeah forgot about that one. Seems like a safe bet.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Monday, 20 November 2017 17:45 (six years ago) link
I have hopes for my own AOTY/AOTD contender cracking the top ten, that'd be something
― imago, Monday, 20 November 2017 17:47 (six years ago) link
oh wait y'all are talking about kendrick? all right i guess
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Monday, 20 November 2017 17:50 (six years ago) link
you were talking about kehlani up there I assume btw
― imago, Monday, 20 November 2017 17:50 (six years ago) link
both kehlani and kendrick will do very very well and no one needs to worry about them
― Simon H., Monday, 20 November 2017 17:52 (six years ago) link
WHo'll finish higher, Kehlani or Kelela?
― Le Bateau Ivre, Monday, 20 November 2017 17:53 (six years ago) link
Kesha imo

yep! tbh it's sorta tied with the lee ann womack
i also haven't heard the new miguel yet and expect it to be up there with both of them
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Monday, 20 November 2017 17:53 (six years ago) link
Kelela album is str8 fire tbh
― Le Bateau Ivre, Monday, 20 November 2017 17:54 (six years ago) link
kelela might get the benefit of recency bias and also being more winter-appropriate
― Simon H., Monday, 20 November 2017 17:55 (six years ago) link
(both are great and will do well I'm sure)
tt has told me good things about the kehlani and I do intend to give it a full listen soon
― imago, Monday, 20 November 2017 17:55 (six years ago) link
you'd really like it i think lj. second half especially is v strong
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Monday, 20 November 2017 17:57 (six years ago) link

Ulver will be high on my ballot

same
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Monday, 20 November 2017 18:04 (six years ago) link
RT with an album that hasn’t come out yet is so fucking pretentious. I doubt they have advance copies too, the whole thing would have leaked already if they were giving advances.
The whole thing has leaked

Oh well then... carry on. Is it good?

too lazy to include it

Yes and no! Penguin Cafe is lead by Arthur Jeffes is the son of Simon Jeffes, founder of Penguin Cafe Orchestra. Along similar lines of chamber and modern classical, pretty nice.
Thumbs up on Decibel putting Spirit Adrift at #2.

I like how the top 20 or so is the most enervatingly boring set of choices and then the #1 is a complete curveball.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 21 November 2017 11:44 (six years ago) link
Yeah, it's pretty unexpected. Kind of pleasing, though. I have no idea how they compile this list, whether it's based off sales, or if they invite people to contribute, or if it's just the guy who runs the shop and his staff coming up with it.
