Gate - Saturday Night Fever

One of my faves.

I must put a list together at some point this week.

In no order:

Dedekind Cut - $uccessor
Bwana - Capsule's Pride
Radiohead - A Moon Shaped Poo
Konx-om-Pax - Caramel
Masayoshi Fujita & Jan Jelinek - Schaum
The Orb - COW/Chill Out World!
Underworld - Barbara, Barbara We Face a Shining Future

I've fallen deep into my comfort zone and don't really listen to music anymore. Like, not in the sense that I did ten or even five years ago. I've completely lost touch with rap of the 2010s, I don't even try. Pop music on the radio bores and irritates me. I just listen to old CDs in the car, NPR, and half the albums I buy are not new music (just got Souvlaki for Christmas, listened to New York Dolls while running errands today, etc). I remember getting excited about the year-end stuff and the Pitchfork lists were always appointment reading material. Now I scroll through them really fast and I haven't even heard the popular stuff on them.

I don't know what the point of that paragraph is, just give me another year or two to get all of that stuff out of my system and I'll be good.

I bought almost every Kanye West album the day it was released and I still haven't heard The Life of Pablo because it never came out on CD.      

It does not seem to be possible to buy digital versions of Omar S albums. Or to be able to order reasonably-priced CDs. Same goes for Theo Parrish, Jeff Mills, I want to support these guys but they're releasing new music and it's only available as $50 vinyl or something.

I've got into a weird slump where I don't hear new albums until they appear on the eoy lists of Resident Advisor, Wire, The Quietus (end up turning a lot of those ones off after two or three songs) and various message board users. Bruegel's seems quite tasty, a lot of good names there. I've mostly jut been listening to DJ sets, why can't we vote on them instead.

Forgot to add this one, it's very good.

I'm still catching up on last year but can say the ODESZA is the worst album I have been exposed to thus far from 2017.

I think I listened to the EMA album the most overall, though Fever Ray and Lorde was pretty high up there too.

St Vincent was by far the most overrated for me. It's basically the Yankee Hotel Foxtrot of 2017. Pleasant enough to spend time with for a week or so but not something I'll be revisiting in the future ever.

Said I'd do a song list so here ya go. Had ambitions of filling it out and ordering it but it's March on Thursday so whatever.

Would be curious to hear about your current relationship with Illinois by Sufjan Stevens

I just listened to a track or two from that album yesterday. They're still pretty enjoyable!

I have probably not listened to it since 2008.

I'd probably still enjoy it.

That Go! Team album is something I’d love to hear right about now.
