Oo, definitely up for another one. Especially with year-end lists to play with.

rostasi: (Quote) rostasi, tell us in what genres you don't have an obscene amount of music - that has to be a far more interesting and exotically small list.

Jonah, any insight? Wondering Sound cuts operations
The music publication Wondering Sound has scaled back some parts of our ope… -
Not worth much, but I quite like 1989. Good sounding clubby/party pop.
-
Gp, solution: Top 12. You're welcome.

Gp, I'm sure there's a variety of factors, but since streaming-presence is almost always label- and not artist-based, the story should be easier to suss out with some digging. Some jazz labels never got on, some have withdrawn, and sometimes labels …

Yeah, Francis Davis's compilation. 2014's not available yet, here's 2013's.
Here's one 2014 poll vote from a fr… -
Gp, yes, you need to overcome low-number statistics to make "voting" meaningful. Still, it's generally the most illuminating approach, outside of accessing any particular reviewer's inherently idiosyncratic aesthetic.
Speaking of compila… -
Onion's AV Club
Every year, The A.V. Club invites our regular music writers and staff to pick their favorite albums of the past 12 months. This year,… -
Gp: (Quote) I think the answer lies in your motivation for posting any such list in the first place. Advocacy and signaling are two common motivations, and they may yield different answers. (For me, advocacy would maximize artist number in the lis…

That's what last month's 2-fer-1 booster sale was about, Gp! I really like that Royston album.

Metal and jazz fan/writer Phil Freeman's building lists on his site Burning Ambulance. Jazz selections seem interesting/solid.
-
Gp, I apologize in advance for asking, but: (Quote) This is a joke right? Because surely your own list will as obscure as Stereogum's by any objective (say, sales + press) measure, won't it?
-
The 'VERY LOW' just refers to the numerical amount of overlap of the two libraries.
-
So Gp and I agree on why we have opposite preferences here.
-
No, "sonic interest" is the big differentiator for me between Fennesz and Pjusk. I'm basically much more engaged by Fennesz's sound spectrum than Pjusk's - speaking reductively, F's frayed crackle over the smoother consonance of Pjusk. The latter's …

I guess I meant "worrying" in regards to your use of the word "should". I consider that a dangerous word that never genuinely applies (re: aesthetics).
-
Gp, at the level you're listening, I'd just say you might be worrying about it too much. I like to remind myself of how people are attracted to others physically. There's loads of idiosyncrasy involved, and in the end, one should never end up feelin…
-
Gp, it's funny - I don't "get" your not "getting" Fennesz. At least, I wouldn't have guessed you'd not outright dig his work. But TETO al…

I would say any Monk fan would require the Blue Note years - they are defining (the alternate takes are nice, though I agree I don't like to listen to discs with back to back master/alternate. Not a problem with digital players). And I've never for …

A very nice full concert from Frisell's sextet, Montreal, 2002, nicely shot.
-
Tee hee

Jonah, have you listened to the new Anthony Pirog release? You've liked Frisell-influenced work before, and this strikes me as a particularly good o…

That does sounds very annoying, Gp, though not so surprising since you were "overloading" features. Just brings to mind the general wish to institute open tagging in iTunes.
