There's never a year that's slower than others, it just comes down to how well you can find new artists.

what I should have said is, "for the first year in a while, I've paid virtually no attention to music"

I agree with half of this... I think someone can find new music just fine, yet still be disappointed with most of it.

this is a very good record: http://hengebeat.bandcamp.com/

very good live band aswell...

this.

Has anyone got more energy than myself to explain to both foreverasskiss and E.Nosefield why they're a pair of idiots? I know this is an easy task, but I'm late for my caffeine fix.

Y'all be nice.

5 30am, dude. Takin it you're not working today? And just for the record, you're definitely not an idiot. If anything ya understand the art of not taking yourself so seriously all the time. Go to sleep.

Derek, what is your problem? Are you just one of those internet lurkers who looks for people to hate and then seeks out stupid reasons to insult them?

You're insulting us because we think it's possible for music to be better some years than others........ Oh my god, what idiots we are!

...and what free time you have my dear!!

Don't be an internet hater. It just isn't cool, and it really gives people the impression that you're a lonely, sulky person with nothing better to do.

Fuck off you cunt.

Right. Well then.

Look you haven't been here long so I'll give you the benefit of the doubt but some time ago this forum was actually a hotbed for discussion with Glice, atsonicpark, n'ik and others firing on all cyclinders about all sorts of topics. Slowly this wave of users died out and now this forum is a mangled corpse for whatever new user decides to sign up and make assertions about whatever generic topic someone who likes Sonic Youth would discuss.

And this isn't a 'gtfo noob' post either, I'm a relatively new member in the context of the board's history but the users replacing the old members are subpar and much like new episodes of the Simpsons, I can't help but criticize it again and again.

this year i really enjoyed Fire! with Jim O, Kieran Hebden Steve Reid and Mats Gustafason and PJ Harvey

every now and again an album comes along which oozes quality from every inch. every note is perfect, every sound is spot on, every song is stunning.
in a year where "folk" seemed to be the new cool and every one was wearing a waste coat and playing a fiddle PJ came along and showed what a folk album should be.
Combining beautiful sounds with horrendous images

i got the same kind of feeling when Portishead released Third a few years ago


(also, i think Tune Yards was wicked this year too)

Adam is taking a break from the internet apparently but I really doubt he'll find it worth his time coming back here when he's back online.

Isn't that always the case with every forum? Everyone always yearning for the good ol' days?

Anyway, all I'm saying is that there weren't many albums that interested me this year. At least not many that I have yet been exposed to. So, slow year. Where the beef, chief?

I just can't see how it's being respectful when you insult a user/users for not interesting you. That's being a crybaby over something silly as far as I'm concerned. I think there should be less arguing over it and more sharing new things and turning people onto new things as well if you're so wise about it. If the board has gone downhill and you aren't enthralled by anyone, what's the point of sticking around just to ridicule the new people rather than trying to make the place more interesting yourself?

ignorant.

Kanye's music is better than any of the "swag" rappers you guys always hype up for a short while, then say they suck a couple of months later when it ain't so cool to like them anymore (*cough* first OF, now A$AP & Lil B)..
