We hit 603 posts last time. Can we do better this time? The answer is yes, comrades.
Listen to your library, show off your backlog, babble about new music, tell us what you have been listening to today and what you will listen to in the following month, just let the good times flow.
It's not required, but if you post here a lot you'll find it's helpful
Jaxson Brown
someone will post the /daily/ essentials chart. look at it then ignore it. listen to your backlog, post about it, get knocked out of tourneys by natkingcole, etc etc. almost everyone here is nice. even if you feel out of your depth, keep posting anyway. After the thread hits the bump limit, everything turns to shitposts so just ride it out. welcome aboard, what are you listening to today?
Mason Baker
No, but you'll probably either get one soon or never post here again. That's how it usually goes.
James Howard
You don't we have quite a lot of anons here actually. A trip does make some things easier though.
Jaxson Watson
not necessary but easier to sort who is who, also bonus points for notable poseur personality
Ethan Rodriguez
Hey, so I've wanted to do /daily/ for a while but never got around to it. I posted here a few days ago but I hadn't made a trip or a chart and Topsters is down.
Anyways, I basically just threw together a chart of popular albums on RYM that I wanted to hear, and I'm gonna listen to a few albums everyday and talk a bit about them. It's all pretty basic but I wanted to get them out of the way. So this is what I've heard so far:
> Aphex Twin - Richard D. James Album I wasn't really a fan of Selected Ambient, but I was pleasantly surprised by this. The shorter, more energetic and playful songs are a lot more enjoyable for me.
> Beck - Odelay I didn't expect a lot from a Beck album, but I also didn't expect it to be this awful. He tries to blend together all these different genres, but it ends up just being cluttered and inconsistent. Oh yeah, and then he tries to rap, occasionally screaming too, and throws high pitched feedback in every other song. I'm pretty nice with my ratings, I've only given two other 2/10s, but I don't think I actually enjoyed a single moment of this album, and that's pretty special.
> The Cure - Pornography I like the kind of lo-fi, muddy production here. It gives the drums this interesting pounding sound, and the vocals sound great too. I just have the same problems with a lot of The Cure's other albums: the songs all blend together, and the lyrics are melodramatic. I'll probably revisit this sometime though.
How'd I do? Also are big covers too obnoxious? Is Beck actually good? No.
David Ross
ITT post music that makes you love the reds
Carson Perry

Solid month ahead of you, btw.
Wyatt Diaz

Benjamin Miller
>the songs all blend together, and the lyrics are melodramatic that's what I like about them >How'd I do? Also are big covers too obnoxious? good, I like the covers
Jeremiah Mitchell

James Watson
That chart has some cool stuff. Listen to Nick Cave soon.
Thomas Watson
the big covers is cool, like a brain teaser. it works because none of this is very obscure. i dig it
Asher Wilson
listen to this heat
Thomas Cruz
Rec me yer album cover
Samuel King
On second thought, /daily/, I won't go to bed after all. Will listen to Keiichi Ohta's Jingai Daimakyo for my collage. What are you guys listening to/will be listening to?
Daniel Ramirez
I'll try to listen to it a bit more, I could see it growing on me
Nah I like big covers but I haven't done that with my top albums chart. Mine is pic related
Will plan on these next, thanks guys
Dominic Torres
almost didn't post these cause who cares but I was whining about it last thread so here u go
xiu xiu does - The first four tracks and Falling are obv. covers from the OG album, but after that it gets harder to discern. If you told me some of these songs were just xiu xiu songs, i’d almost certainly believe you, blue frank/pink room especially (coincidently, that’s the best track). creep drone god.
vulnicura - Arca production, strings, and extra personal lyrics. Need I say more? The production on “Quicksand” is particularly insane, and Antony’s feature on “Atom Dance” is just beautiful (If only they brought that on their new album…) the alt cover art’s 12/10 as well
emergency & i - the manic side of Slint’s manic depression. I love how it just starts, no intro or buildup or silence just bam, you hit play it’s playing, feels like you’re in the middle of the song already. I don’t think there’s a bad song on here, actually. Maybe I’d pass on I
Bentley Gomez
Listening to Hoyry-Kone and Ryo Fukui for my tourney, and Eric Clapton for my list
Robert Butler
Let's hit 700 this time
Luis Nguyen
james black - didn't even finish it. w/e
cunts - and i quote: "bit messy, innit?"
frances the mute - and i quote: "*froths at the mouth and masturbates furiously*" better "review" later
iv - first things first: the fuck is that album cover. pathetically bad cover. As for the music itself: it’s the blandest. Some of the features are neat (Colin Stetson and Mick Jenkins in particular, though Mick doesn’t bring a great verse and Colin sounds bored half the time), and the title track is mostly okay, but this was just boring, and not in the good way some jazz can be “boring”. Happy but useless. Also a lot of the tracks just… end? They don’t have an ending, and it’s not even like they just stop playing, you just go “oh, song’s over. aaalright”
No pussyfooting - friend rating on rym for this: 2.86. Why so low? What did this album ever do to you? Maybe it’s because i’m not familiar with what this apparently rips off, but it’s droney and calming and made me happy so i like it. Maybe I overrate shit
Ugly cherries - two drag queens make the catchiest power pop of last year. Listen to the guitar at the start of the title track and tell me that shit doesn’t RIP. “you’ll laugh (Dairy Queen), you’ll cry (Nu 1, C U Around), you’ll come back for more (not even 30 minutes)”
Teens of Denial is getting a real actual review so that'll come later
Tyler Morales
glad to see D Plan scored so high. Any chance Frances the Mute will pass 4.0+ ?
Dominic Reed
Scenery? Scenery is great. If it's not Scenery, it's probably still good.
Angel Garcia
Scenery indeed. Very very v.good. Hard to compare to Huono Parturi though.
Joseph Green
FISH! You already told us your album for the listenalong, right? What was it? Or choose something else, you decide (until tomorrow please)
Evan Jones
There's a chance, yeah, but who knows. Maybe it'll unclick on the next go
Anthony Baker
woops, turned off my trip to shitpost with immunity
William Anderson
I have not heard Huono Parturi but it looks good. Curious to see what happens with this pair. Is Fish's listenalong also going to be on Sunday?
Benjamin Turner
Over the whole weekend people can listen to the album And if it's on YouTube or soundcloud there will also be a sync-along on sunday
Jace Thomas
I'm looking to check out some ambient krautrock. kind of like those longer motorik-driven tracks from the Neu! albums. Do you have any ideas?
Also, here are some albums that I've been listening to a lot these last 2 months. Am I cool [:)] or am I school [:(]?
Juan Clark
Oh okay. Would be fun if it is available for syncing. I hope Fish chooses something nice either way.
Kevin Baker
>Communism got you to 600 posts
Proud of you comrades.
Leo Martinez
Indeed. Damn it feels good to be a comrade.
James Clark
> THANK YOU COMMUNISM EDITION I got money for studying yesterday and todayI drank it al away. Yay socialism.
Went to a pub with some girls studying sociology (lol) and there was a really, really terrible punk band there. One of the girls grinded at me and I was like "nope" and went home to shitpost instead. How was yuor thirsday?
This is weird funky dance music by No Wave group The Dance (who is on the New York Noise: Dance Music compilation that I noticed some people here are fans of). It's plenty cool to listen to for that alone, but this has something far more interesting to it.
The lead singer and songwriter is 12 year old girl (Scaruffi approved!) Chandra Oppenheim. Yes, this was someone in middle school playing alongside the likes of Swans and Glenn Branca in The Kitchen, and from what some Googling has revealed, she was quite a popular spectacle.
I should note that this isn't just a gimmick. The lyrics are obviously a bit childish ("Everyone stares at the girl with blonde hair! It's not fair!"), but they're super catchy despite their simplicity, and her voice doesn't sound like a 12 year old at all.
Great dance music for making your guests uncomfortable.
No seriously, no one cares. I care about the fact that you made a post indicated that you think anyone cares.
I didnt' let anyone know I was controlling the music desu. I would be standing in the DJ booth the tnire night but I wanted to play beer pong and socializ.e
Angel Price
>some random ass girl grinds @ u out of nowhere Does this actually happen in the western lands?
Cameron Peterson
I'd rather be a capitalist pig, sorry >Sondre Lerche - s/t I'm going to be honest here with you Nyaar~~~. Some of this songs sound like straight up Anime Openings. And not like the ones i like. I can appreciate the production and i found a lot of the songs to be well written and fun to listen to, and i think his voice is nice, but what you see (i checked and it's one of your favorite albums of all time) i can't see it. i didn't find anything truly special about it, and i was kind of bored in the 2nd half. Sorry. ∆3 advances 6/10
>Clear Horizon - s/t Very cool droney stuff. Very interesting textures. I think it's really charming and relaxing. But it suffers the same problem as Musik Von Harmonia, as i'd rather listen to Ô Paon or Flood. Still, nice Little album, but i wasn't as engaged as i thought i would 6.5/10
Juan Gray
>mfw I can lay naked in bed ancd controll spotify from my phone dank feature desu
Not really random desu. I was gonna go alone to this pub but I found four girls where I was and asked if they wanted to join me and they said yes and it was one fo them.

>implying eco/bio product change shit for the consumer I like hw all these pro-eco stuff keep focusing on how good these products are good for you while the main reason for labeling and such existing in the first place is health concerns for the farmers or the breeders and their lifestock. Fucking hippies pretending to save the world only to feel better about themselves.
