I'm glad to hear that.
It's at 4,555 downloads! That's like 700 since I last checked it about a week and a half ago.

who is that in that little interview snippet where they are talking about how people on SOMB have horrible taste and "aren't very good at life" ?
He's talking about Hipinion.
And that's Chrono.
And that's Chrono.
He does all the raps (everything before the monologue in track six is a Madrox remix, though.) Dan (who pops up all over the place and also made the Beach Boys cover) and I are the ones singing Beatles Rock Band. Pinkerton recorded the lo-fi pop-punk song at the beginning of "Holiday." Good Dr. Bill made the collage of '90s alternative rock songs that pops up twice. Undo made the "Bullet With Butterfly Wings" edit and the sound collage with the gunshots. Elastico's high school band Fox Paws did the proto-Vampire Weekend music at the beginning of track nine.

Good tune. I didn't really intend for that to be a friday singalong thing, I just posted it since it was 2 something AM after a really intense night of debauchery, and I was walking along a beach looking at stars, hence decided to throw that quote up using Iphone. Not sure why it landed on the now listening page, or even what the hell I was doing on a beach. Only vaguely remember it, and just noticed my post for the first time since that evening. Rob Gordon should probably be left in charge of singalongs, and I should probably drink less.
Currently enjoying Cobalt's Gin a hell of a lot more than I expected. Really up my alley, against all odds.
Going to be a good, if solitary, Saturday night--staying in, staying up, listening to a heap of fucking records. Anybody want to keep me company, by way of the internet?

The Beginning of the End (Up-Tight)
God damn you for so badly fucking up my list. Gonna have to try on that Little Girls record, in a bit, just to be sure you don't have yet another ace up your sleeve. This is exactly why I avoided this place, at the end of last year--it's almost painful to hear this many baller records, in such a short period of time. Damn it.
you can skip the Little Girls.
Sounds like second rate Blank Dogs.

also, to be fair, Paves, Heretix, and New Grass all championed that Up-Tight record (to some degree or another) before I did.
No joke, where? I mean, in which thread? That's where I want to plant myself. Was it in that schizophrenic psych/garage/punk thread?
I think it was more spread out and implied like. It's on NG's list. Paves made a thread about it on LoPP. Hairy Dix voted for it somewhere.

Never really bothered looking around, over there. I am ignorant of all such dealings, but isn't that the Bizarro SOMB?

Here's the story: NewGrass posted it in his thread that no one reads, I was hunting for it on Google and eventually wound up there, reviewed it for SLRJ in June or July, the review sparked Heretix's interest but he didn't really like the album, a few months later I told Michael K. that it was the best psych album of 2009 besides Les Aus's Mitologia Natural, and here we are.
Pyramids with Nadja: Pyramids with Nadja
And if there's a piece of music from this year that significantly borrows from "Set The Controls For The Heart of The Sun," it would be "Convinced of The Hex."
And decade-wise... Om's Conference of The Birds. Especially the second track on there, I think.

Learned of it via twin peaks watching marathon coupled with shazam technology. This shall be my first time listening to the album in its entirety. If the two songs featured on episode 14 mean anything, this is obviously the best album of all time by a landslide.

Of course it does. That period from that band is the template.
I don't see how you have this stuff on your list but not Embryonic, Paves. Strange.
because the songs are shitty and the execution's pretentious?

Everyone has the right to be foolishly wrong. If you are into experimental psych, it's the album of the year, easily. Embryonic is the goose, and you are here picking at goose droppings.
Pay attention to the goose, silly one. It's about to put its beak in your eye.
I guess I'm just not into experimental psych

Maybe you are just into background music. Embroynic tries to take things a step beyond that with a cohesive theme, great playing, good lyrical imagery and a spiritual context.

Brain-wrinkling is the way I do. I'm openly stunned at how much I enjoy the Cobalt record. The City Center LP is much more typically up my alley, though, so no big surprises, there. The difficulty I'm having in placing these records on my EOY list speaks both to how seriously I take these things (ie, far too) and how much I loved the records I did enjoy, in 2009. Really, there's not too much separating the vast majority of my entries. In time, of course, the distinctions will be made clear, certain records will fade, and others will only fully blossom, for me, as the weeks, months, and eventually years give me some perspective...for now, though, I'm happy. Lots of great music to keep me up late and keep me excited about what might be next.
