05.20.16 | 1) part of a much longer thing i'm working on at good ol rym with top 5 records
2) any recommendations always taken on board
3) wtf why does it keep deleting my 2001 pick just bc it isn't in the database (that's Manuel Mota's 'For Your Protection...' for you kids playing at home) |

05.20.16 | what is 12? |
hal1ax
05.20.16 | ayy interesting list. i absolutely love 3 and 6 |
iloveyouall
05.20.16 | 12 is the best pop album ever. |
iloveyouall
05.20.16 | tbh |
iloveyouall
05.20.16 | and good shit as always wino |
hal1ax
05.20.16 | wino, what is 8 like? |
iloveyouall
05.20.16 | having a thick, creamey wank |
Winesburgohio
05.20.16 | 8? really lush and diverse, both participants have a knack for making music that's simultaneously comfortable and alien which makes it a joy to listen to if you like to eek out details. i'd definitely recommend it, to my mind it's their finest collab
bloody outraged Manuel Mota hasn't shown up i adore that album |
Winesburgohio
05.20.16 | hahaha iloveyou iloveyou, 12 is SO GOOD and i'm glad people are starting to appreciate it outside of 'look how ironic and WEIRD it is that a teen mom makes good music' parameters |
LotusFlower
05.20.16 | so 12 is more or less The Philosophy of the World 2.0? |
Winesburgohio
05.20.16 | not really
(because it's really good) |
LotusFlower
05.20.16 | i mean, both albums were made by people who had no fucking idea what they were doing and unintentionally made groundbreaking music through the art of sounding so objectively awful that they ended up sounding good. |
hal1ax
05.20.16 | Sweet man. Gonna check 8 asap |
Winesburgohio
05.20.16 | haha i see what you mean clover but i don't think it sounds objectively awful and i think claims that it was unintentional are condescending and heavily rooted in weird societal perceptions of what musical 'genius' entails but i am also a dullard and a moron.
YES TOAD HES HAL1AX you're doing the right thing bbs |
LotusFlower
05.20.16 | you saying that she knew what she was doing? im going to assume this album is just too avant garde for my pleb pallet. |
Winesburgohio
05.20.16 | not necessarily, just that i'm wary of people assuming she didn't when the music has obviously impacted lots of people
i think more to the point it's largely irrelevant, bring on the death of the author baby, but yea! ha i think it's really accessible and nice but idk |
LotusFlower
05.20.16 | considering all the comments and dislikes each song has gotten on youtube and the sputnik average, im going to go ahead and say this is not accessible. i will say however, i think there is some weird anomaly that appears in the sound where the bad, inaccessibility turns around to be somewhat accessible and nice but I do not think its that at the get go.
also im intrigued why you mean by impact? all im seeing is hate towards this, lol. |
LotusFlower
05.20.16 | "i don't know what objectively awful music would be defined by anyway"
BrokenCyde - FREAXXX |
Winesburgohio
05.20.16 | i remember when it came out lots of people who are in ~our~ kind of music scene were like 'holy shit this is really great', it generated quite a wee furore -- most people who dislike it are shitheads, it has a huge cult following
it's kinda like Trout Mask Replica in that respect, where it's simultaneously beloved or loathed depending on who you talk to i guess!
idk i dont' want to label it avant-garde just because it implies i'm some of kind deep listener for liking it when really i just think it's the simple pop and rugged brostep of the album that i enjoy really. |
Winesburgohio
05.20.16 | should i try again y/n/m |
LotusFlower
05.20.16 | IT is one polarizing album for sure, I suppose. I guess i find myself in the middle where i can KINDA see where you and toad are coming from when you say it isnt "objectively bad" and "accessible" but on the other hand I do think this is something that was unintentionally an outsider music staple.
i kinda find myself leaning towards artists in the "outsider" scene at random. Like I love Jandek and Todd and Daniel Johnson and Hasil Adkins and Sun City Girls but I cannot stand Captain Beefheart at all. So I dont really know how i feel about this album except "i kinda like it" i suppose. |
LotusFlower
05.20.16 | toad if you like 'cringey/10 but kind of hilarious' listen to the new 3OH!3, it has some of the best, worst lines in the history of pop music. |
Winesburgohio
05.20.16 | whatever the case im stoked this has generated a genuinely interesting discussion!
that's true, although i think some of the tracks are kinda brostep structure writ large but, as you allude to, recontextualized and morphed into a aching cry of confusion and that's bloody great tbh |
Winesburgohio
05.20.16 | brokencyde!!! |
LotusFlower
05.20.16 | ye, outsider music is a scene i need to explore more just because its soooo interesting. Also looking at the guy who produced this album's other work, it seems like he may of made the sound as it is intentional, which I kinda hope not. This album when contextualized with the feelings and emotions she went through with being pregnant rub off more effectively if the album was just a misguided ball of emotional rage.
i dunno. it is interesting as hell, so you were right about that. |

Sinternet
05.20.16 | A lot of interesting picks i'll have to check some of these |
Winesburgohio
05.20.16 | 2001 is a stellar year, it won't let me add it because the album isn't in the database i think but it's Manuel Mota's 'For Your Protection' which is a free improv/free jazz masterpiece
also i got whiskey-dick last night and i feel like tea leave dregs who wants to validate me by listening to Quartet eh |
Ryus
05.20.16 | 6 is really great. nice picks
