Urban75's Album of the Year 2012 - the polls are open

[Voley]

it is indeed, and their inclusion of The Lost Tapes had convinced me that it was okay to include albums recorded, but not released, years ago. As a rule - and in previous years I think - I have refused to accept such things. But this year, what with the Can, the Captain, the Cope (okay, that ones so dull it wont even make my list) and especially the X-TG - which is, at least, only a couple of years old - I have reconsidered. Well, that and the amount of times I've been told off in previous years for going "But that's not an album"

I am sending my list just now. One of my inclusions stretches your rules to the limit, I think.

breaking the rules, that is just not rock 'n' roll or cricket

Grizzly Bear - Shields

you're fucking telling me!

I'm not really sure that someone farting there way thru the hits of Rick Astley really qualifies as music, but if you do....

NVP has a niche music taste

I'm only 25 and I feel like I don't want to hear any more new music, even from bands I love. I feel like I've got to that stage of 'all new music is shit' that I shouldn't reach until after 30

What stage of "all new music is shit"? Did I miss a memo?

I think it was sent in yoof lingo so we didn't understand it

Pretty decent Top 50 list here.

Anybody heard the Goat album?

yes. best album of the year and the first new music with guitars that I've liked for years

 

[Dr. Furface]

ZZ Top this year innit

 

[redsquirrel]

What type of thing is it? Have to admit I've never heard of them.

"a seething mix of samba beats, Afro-Kraut rock grooves and decidedly nasty psychedelia". It seems.

Sounds like my kind of thing! I'll have to seek it out.

 

[belboid]

just been listening on Spotify, and it is pretty fine. Not sure about album of the year, but I'll be spinning it again a few times before compiling my final list.

 

[nogojones]

sort of psychedelic rock, feedback guitars, bouncing drums and chanting.

 

[danny la rouge]

Ah. That's not as good as I was expecting.

 

[Voley]

Not really as that blurb described but I could get into that, I think. I'll give the album a listen.

Picked up bish bosh and desertshore this morning (bish bosh on vinyl!) so will be able to compile the list over the weekend...

 

[redsquirrel]

Snap! I got both of those as well as Lux and Holly Golightly's new one so lots of listening to do over the weekend.

 

[killer b]

There's the cd version of bish Bosch in with the vinyl, if anyones pondering formats...

oooh, v tempting. altho when I got the last Super Furries vinyl +CD, the beginning of the CD kept sticking and I would have had to return the entire package to get the CD replaced, and they'd sold out of vinyl, so I wouldn't have got my copy back!

 

[redsquirrel]

The Codine LP re-issues come with CD versions too, plus lovely booklets etc.

 

[belboid]

Fucks sake! Just been to HMV to pick up a couple of things, and forgot to even check if they had the X-TG in. D'oh!

You need to sort this out. Desertshore is pretty good, but the final report disk is fucking amazing...

 

[redsquirrel]

Fuck, just found out that I missed a Murder by Death album this year.
Might have to make some late minute changes to my list.

I have to go to Leeds tomorrow. My train gets in at 9.03, I have to be in Harehills by ten. I reckons I can [/i]just[/i] get to Jumbo for when they open and still make my thing on time.

 

[belboid]

Now sat outside a record shop, waiting for it to open. Been a while since I've done that.

[belboid]

Success! Now got 26 minutes to get to Harehills
