Let's catch up on some black metal.
Liturgy-Renihilation
Wolves in the Throne Room-Black Cascade

new krallice leaked, it's a doozy.

agreed! Probably one of the best new/old albums of the year (was it this year or 2008???) i don't think this qualifies as a reissue because i don't think this album was actually released in 1975, sorta shelved until some-awesome-one discovered it...

i'm leaving out a few, probably



drunkdriver - knife day 7"
screen vinyl image - interceptors
zola jesus - new amsterdam (if only for 'nativity')
the goslings - occasion
clockcleaner - ready to fight
kazuki tomokawa - inakamono no kara genki
polvo - in prism


still don't know if i like-
cold cave - cremations
cormega - born and raised
soap&skin - lovetune for vacuum

"Occasion" was 2008.

I wish I had some more straight-up electronic/D'N'B/IDM/etc stuff from this year.

hell

not 2009, but have you heard Xinlisupreme?

yeah Xinlisupreme are pretty nuts, been into 'em for a while.

its been a weak year. 07 and 08 were amazing.

the caretaker and sa ra are excellent, dont think they've been mentioned yet. some good ferraro stuff, inca ore of course, dum dum girls/tv ghost.

up till 2010 ill be going backwards again and looking for things i missed in the past. something i refused to even consider in 08 because there was so much to keep up with.

oh and obviously oneohtrix point never did some of the best stuff of the year. i think there is something being released today thats a compendium of 3 of their releases?

A few I've really dug....

THE UV RACE - s/t LP & Malaria 7"
The Intellegence - Fake Surfers
Condominium - Barricade 7"
Lakes - Tray of Fire 7"
The Factorymen - The F-Men LP
Iron Age - The Sleeping Eye LP
Kitchen's Floor - Loneliness Is A Dirty Mattress CD
The Anals - Total Anal LP
Drunkdriver - It Never Happened 7"

Ah! I didn't know Drunkdriver had another 7" out. Condominium and Anals are great! There is so much good shit coming out of America.

I still think TV Ghost have yet to make a record that truly captures the BEASTLY live band they are. Atomic Rain 7" comes close. I don't want to make facile Birthday Party comparisons, but the frontman is seriously channeling some spastic early Nick Cave shit. And they're all youngins, so they'll have time to hone their sound.

I'm not a fan but I know half this board is

new animal collective ep

Agreed x 2

i couldn't get through two songs of that animal collective ep...either i'm just not in the mood or it's totally shitty

Yeah, they suck.

hey adam, i just got to interview Eric Copeland through email.

sry i forgot to ask him why he sucks

He doesn't suck.

I put on some Dice and find a lot of their stuff enjoyable in the right setting, absolutely hated the new one though. I think they've equally made some of the coolest stuff I've ever heard and the worst shit ever. So all in all, I guess I just find them decent, but I'm glad they're experimenting.
