Poppier melodies, yes. Poppier lyrics? No. Consider Boys Who Rape and Last Dance; very disturbing -- and some think offensive -- lyrics. (n.1) I love the new disc, BTW.

It was an amazing sale, the kind that enticed me to (a) join Lala, (b) buy a lot of discs on sale, and (c) stick around to buy other discs on Lala at regular prices (tho not full discs for $7.50; there, I'd rather find the physical CD …

The Best of Chill! I can get into that stuff.
Next up: Dark Disco (e.g., the Italians Do It Better label) and Nu-Balearic (e.g., Studio). Gotta be tomorrow, tho. Nite, all. -
For UK Garage-type stuff, yeah, a DJ keeps things moving. It was a huge sound on early 00s "pirate" radio stations.

Burial's 2007 album -- Untrue -- is jaw-droppingly good. It takes the up-tempo sounds of UK Garage-type music, scoops out the optimistic, dance-y cont…

Yeah, I like noise-rock, but on the poppier/more melodic side.
Examples: Sonic Youth; JAMC; The Raveonettes; Animal Collective; No Age; among others. -
(Never sure if it's Jack or Ed, BTW, since your profile says "Jack Ed").

Jack, you're not into 2-step or dubstep or some of the other underground English dance genres, are you? They do use diva vocals -- including soul divas -- but I don't think the music is your thing.

Controversial Opinion for 10.11.09 -- Warehouse: Songs And Stories is Husker Du's best album.

J0hn D. is one of the best lyricists around (along with Craig Finn; GhostFace; the guy from Why?; and Sam Beam (Iron & Wine)).
I'm sure there's others, too, but these come to mind off the top-of-my-head. -

Any idea why this is so, e.g., is it because we're only now heading into the fall's large schedule of top-notch new arrivals, or does it have something to do with Sony's arrival at Aime Street? -
Kanye is a jackass. He's also a brilliant pop artist. Among a handful who could be the best of the decade.

Plus the list got me inspired to listen to a bunch of stuff I had shelved for a long time. The Exploding Heart's amazing Guitar Romantic is a good example of this. What a ball of energy that album is, and what a great throwback rock record. So sa…

Yeah, but there's a lot of great music on P4K's list.

A lot of great stuff between Nos. 200 -- 51. -
I think I have maybe 70 of the Top 200. I wish Feast of Wine made the list, too. In fact, I wish Cole's Corner and Wilderness's debut disc made the list. But it's still a terrific list.
Based on it, I downloaded The Boredoms' disc fro… -
I like the P2K list a lot, BTW. Very well-written blurbs (for the most part). The Lala tie-in is fantastic, obv.

Too new, and too much knee-jerk backlash that counteracted the knee-jerk enthusiasm for the disc. If it had been released in, say, 2007, I think the chances are higher that it would be in the top 10. OTOH, Pitchfork's top 10 has … -

I'm sure the answer is, "Yessssss." -
The M83 discs are great, BTW. Pastiche, I guess? But that's okay with me. The first, all pastel-y and shoegaze-y sound walls. The newest, like the soundtrack to a great, lost John Hughes brat-pack film from the 80s.

But you're not really buying them, right? The $2.00 discs I saw only got you the right to stream the disc online. And I'm not paying for that (there, I'd rather go find the physical disc at my used record store, or buy the… -
Grant Hart's new one, too (not on eMusic, sadly).

Cosign * 1000. Also, despite the lead singer's voice, I'm going to download that new Wild Beasts' album.Glad you're back.Did you get that new Cedric IM Brooks' disc? It's dubby and jazzy. Very good, too. 17 Dots did a blog post on it recently.
Not all dub,…
