Okay, the idea seems to be getting a good deal of interest already. If I set up a thread later today, how long should I give for people to join up before we pick our first album, do you reckon? Also, should this go here or in Troper Covens?

Troper Covens, probably. It seems more suited for that place.

Although, the Music board might get a little more traffic than Troper Covens...

You're probably right, but if the Music board regulars and those who've declared an interest here already know of its existence and where it is, then surely it can only gain new interest by being over there? I'm sure there are some people over on the right-hand side of the forum who'd want to take part, who don't normally lurk round these parts...

Maybe you could put the actual thread in Troper Covens, and make an announcement thread here with a link?

A wise idea... I think I shall get right around to setting the thread up now.

Erm... how much time do you think would be best for listening to each album? 3 days? A week?

19-TET looks interesting... I don't suppose that one of you lovely people could recommend me something in that tuning?

How is it that I'm a hipster douchebag in his mid-twenties, and I only got into The Replacements like last month? Isn't that one of those bands guys like me are supposed to love?

The Replacements suck, why WOULD you like them?

In all seriousness, if you're just looking for indie cred, the most indie thing possible is to say a venerated band sucks, so there's that.

I'm not looking for indie cred, is the point. I'm just being self-deprecating, and remarking that it took me a while to start listening to this band you'd logically expect I'd already know. wink

Insert comment about fans constructing arbitrary boundaries to differintiate and belittle music they don't like.

Kitsune - Thats a personal effect. Genre springs up from people telling each other what they LIKE, not hate.

Okay, I know, I know, I should ignore bad reviews of albums I like and just enjoy them because I enjoy them and ya da ya da etc.

But Pitchfork just gave Everything Everything - Man Alive a rating of 3.8/10. I mean, I can understand that they thought that the singer's voice was very annoying, and that sometimes they throw a few too many ideas into the melting pot and the result is a bit questionable. But Three Point Eight?!?!? RAAEEEEEG! Up yours, Bitchfork.

...*Deep breaths*... Calm down... Okay, crazed fanboy rant over, had to get that off of my chest, sorry, carry on, nothing to see here.

Don't listen to what Pitchfork says. That is the path to the Dark Side.

I know. I generally tend to think they are the most up-their-own-rectum music reviewing site in existence.

They're on the warpath at the moment. Some other recent scores include a 4.0 for Blonde Redhead's new effort Penny Sparkle, a 6.7 (though the review read more like a 5) for Of Montreal - False Priest and a 4.6 for Interpol's new self titled album.

And yet they continue to give 'OMG AMAZIN!!1!' reviews to any sub-par 'chillwave' band (seriously what a stupid name for a genre), or in fact any old crap as long as it has a metric fuckton of reverb slapped on top *COUGH*BestCoast*COUGH*.

^^yeah, why are Best Coast so loved by bloggers? I don't mind them but.. it all seems a bit disproportionate.

I am annoyed on behalf of psychedelic feelgood sextet Citay tonight, only a dozen people ended up at their show. Sure, the venue was changed twice, but considering my city is practically twinned with theirs, this seems bad. And wrong. Barong.

^^ Erm... it's Interpol tongue. Better than Our Love To Admire if you ask me. It's pretty stark and uncomfortable listening actually, it's fairly obvious that they're not really going through a good patch as a band. Opening track contains the couplet "Dreams of long life, what safety can you find?", which is pretty freakin' morbid, even by Interpol's standards.

^ Yeah, I honestly tried listening to Best Coast, so I'm not just reactioneering because I'm angry. I really didn't get the hype. Frankly, it was hella boring.

Okay, cool. I really liked their first two, but thought OLtA wasn't quite as good.
