RockyRaccoon Posted September 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2012 Yes. But get the new Bob Dylan first. Got them at the same time. Both very very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLizard Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 The new Tame Impala album, Lonerism, is a magical mystery tour. Listen to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyRaccoon Posted November 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 If you like instrumental electronic music, go check out the debut album by Actress called "R.I.P." Very minimalist in a pretty cool way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLizard Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Heard it a while ago, wasn't overly impressed. However, the new album from The Sword is Sabbath-y and awesome and I dig it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLizard Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 Also, the new Soundgarden album is awesome. It sounds like an old Soundgarden album, except new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayzor Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 I would argue if I could, but I cannot afford to buy every album that comes out. I can't even afford to buy one song by each one of these artists. It was much easier being a teenager and having my parents feed me & pay the bills.

RockyRaccoon Posted December 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 I'm still listening to albums I got this year, but I'll post a list soon. I have to say though, The Tallest Man On Earth's album from this year will definitely be in my top 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayzor Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 There are tons of free legal streaming services now. Try those! Yeah, I've tried several, but it seems you need an actual computer to make them work. I just have my little PS3 which is limited when it comes to downloading.

pinkstones Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Yeah, I've tried several, but it seems you need an actual computer to make them work. I just have my little PS3 which is limited when it comes to downloading. YouTube still exists. Search for the artist's name and see if someone uploaded the album or some tracks off the album. You don't need *just* streaming audio services. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayzor Posted December 11, 2012 Report Share Posted December 11, 2012 Which is what I normally do. I may be familiar with about a couple dozen new songs because I stumbled upon them on YouTube. Which brings me back to my original comment: if I heard all of these albums then I could argue, but being too naive & shut-in has left me without an intelligent argument. The list has provided me with search "keywords" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liberal Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 Do you write for Pitchfork? I do check out the site for new music. Also check out Gorilla vs Bear blog too. Spotify really made a lot of music accessible for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Levis Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 Man most albums this year have disappointed me - APTBS, SSPU, Memory tapes - all the bands that blew me away in 2010 have been damp this year (to think APTBS had two releases and I'm this tepid about the fact). I did love Airiel's Kid Games - just as addictive as ever. Also //orangenoise (remember my friend from PK who was on here some time ago? his band) has matured like nobody's business and their 'A Journey to the Heart of Matter' is AMAZN. Ringo Deathstarr's Color Trip is good, sure, but too twee for me - I much preferred their Sparkler days. BIG UPS to Flies On You for going with a sound no one else is or has in their obsession for glitch and scratch - so unique you can't label them, and I love the lyrics and the stories behind them. I'm not a lyrics person in the least so that's saying something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Levis Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 OH! And I didn't mention - I couldn't stop listening to AraabMUZIK's Electronic Dream 2. Purity Ring's Shrines really grabbed me as well, though mostly on the strength of Belispeak. Dead Can Dance's Anastasis is so otherworldly that I don't think it qualifies for a best-of list. Alcest's newie hasn't done anything for me yet, but I guess there must be something there, since Souvenirs and Ecailles were such jaw-droppers. And finally (?) I've just finished listening to a band called The Dandelion War who've had me totes mesmerised especially by a song called Drifters. I haven't found the time/ambience in which to listen to GY!BE, but I'm guessing that'll be right up there too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLizard Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 I WAS GOING TO SAY THAT! To be fair, I'm surprised nobody accused me of being a writer for Rolling Stone, given my obvious classicist rock and roll bias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyRaccoon Posted December 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 I haven't finished my top ten yet, but I know for a fact that Between The Buried And Me's new album will be on there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
