Get your freak on 2014

[McDuffies]

My little list of my favourite albums this year.

But I've listened to very few new albums. Mostly I spent my year going through back catalogs of Flipron, TV on the radio and Mr. Hudson.

Code: Select all

10. Earth - Angels Of Darkness, Demons Of Light II
09. Godspeed You! Black Emperor - 'Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend!
08. Andrew Bird - Break It Yourself
07. Jack White - Blunderbuss
06. Fiona Apple - The Idler Wheel...
05. David Byrne and St. Vincent - Love This Giant
04. Leonard Cohen - Old Ideas
03. Swans - The Seer
02. Lana Del Rey - Born to Die
01. Grizzly Bear - Shields

[LibertyCabbage]

The only album that came out this year that I cared about was Deadmau5's > album title goes here <.

[K-Dawg]

Kendrick Lamar - good kid, maad city
Nas - Life is Good

Only two albums that really mattered this year.

[Toxic]

Same boat here, didn't listen to a ton of albums released this year but here are a few I can think of that were pretty good, in no particular order:

Born to Die by Lana Del Rey
The Idler Wheel... by Fiona Apple
Charmer by Aimee Mann
Former Lives by Ben Gibbard
King Animal by Soundgarden
Blunderbuss by Jack White
Django Unchained OST (mostly older tracks but the James Brown/Tupac mashup is badass)

Maybe we should do a redux of the best of 2011 because every good album I heard this year actually came out last year.

Best of 2011... REDUX! (Again, no specific order.)

In the Mountain in the Cloud by Portugal the Man
Let England Shake by PJ Harvey
The King of Limbs by Radiohead
Drive OST
Metals by Feist
El Camino by the Black Keys
Audio Video Disco by Justice
Native To by Is Tropical

[Yeahduff]

Oof, jealous.

Portugal the Man had an interesting adventure in Chicago where they got they're tour van stolen, but then CPD found it, and they sent the police department some pastries and made an awkward joke about donuts. The end.

Favorites of 2012? Do they have to be albums released in 2012? Because that doesn't happen for me. Many of the albums I consider "2012 music" seem to be mid-to-late 2011 releases, if not earlier, that I just didn't find until this year. Anyway, since this seems to be a "good music from the last couple of years" thread, here's things:

Albums (2011/2012)
M83 - Hurry Up, We're Dreaming
Ane Brun - It All Starts With One
Ellie Goulding - Halcyon
Die Antwoord - Ten$ion
Josh Garrels - Love & War & The Sea In Between
Aesop Rock - Skelethon
Passion Pit - Gossamer
Alabama Shakes - Boys & Girls
Chad VanGaalan - Diaper Island
Blitzen Trapper- American Goldwing
Fleet Foxes - Helplessness Blues
St. Vincent - Strange Mercy
Gotye - Making Mirrors
Hot Chip - In Our Heads
I'm From Barcelona - Forever Today
Of Monsters and Men - My Head is an Animal
Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros - Here


Songs (2012)
CocoRosie - We Are On Fire
Starfucker - While I'm Alive
Neko Case - Nothing to Remember
Psy - Gangnam Style (Yeah, I fucking went there, and not ironically, either. I think it's a great pop song.)

[Toxic]

Music video of the year!



Honorable mentions

[Yeahduff]

Still rep for Gangnam Style.

[Yeahduff]

Great video and song right hurr:

[Bustertheclown]

Music videos are having a big time renaissance right now. So many great vids being produced right now. I keep hearing people pronouncing it a dead artform, but I sure ain't seeing it that way.

Also, since when can we embed videos?

[Yeahduff]

Been doing it for years and surprised no one else has been jumping on that.

[spoonyliger]

How's this for getting your freak on?

[Toxic]

One last honorable mention! Great song and video.

[Yeahduff]

So many great vids being produced right now.

Pertinent!
