    1.How did you get into 29? (Air)
    I guess it was when Sexy Boy & Kelly Watch the Stars got a lot of airplay on MTV in the late 90's.

    2. What's the first song you ever heard by 22? (The Radio Dept.)
    Not entirely sure, but I vaguely remember seeing them live on a festival in Sweden in 2004, which is probably when I heard their music for the first time. (Mind you, it was at a boozy music festival after all, so it's all a bit of a blur really...)

    3. What's your favorite lyric by 33? (José González)
    Maybe these ones from Broken Arrow:
    "Summerlove left this town
    It was too cold to bathe and the leaves turned brown
    The sun went down
    And with it the love we found
    That's the way things are sometimes
    Most of the time"

    4. How did you get into 49? (Björk)
    Well, seeing that I'm Scandinavian she was a pretty big deal there with her debut album (called Debut). The first track I heard was Human Behaviour, but I didn't start listening to her stuff properly until the late 90's.

    5. How many albums by 13 do you own? (MF DOOM)
    Two (Operation Doomsday & MM Food).

    6. What is your favorite song by 50? (M83)
    Graveyard Girl.

    7. Is there a song by 39 that makes you sad? (RJD2)
    Not that I can think of, or maybe One Day.

    8. What is your favorite song by 15? (El-P)
    Tasmanian Pain Coaster is pure genius.

    9. What is your favorite song by 5? (Sage Francis)
    Sea Lion.

    10. Is there a song by 6 that makes you happy? (Alias)
    Not really, I wouldn't exactly say Alias is famous for his feelgood-tracks. Maybe Dr.C by Alias & Tarsier.

    11. What is the worst song by 40? (Coldplay)
    Violet Hill no doubt. Can't stand it. I never understood how it could be released as a first album single.

    12. What is your favorite song by 10? (Sia)
    Breathe Me, followed by Death By Chocolate.

    13. What is a good memory you have involving 30? (Sole)
    I remember being on a road trip with my brother and he'd brought 'Selling Live Water' which had recently been released. I had never heard of Sole, but I loved what I heard.

    14. What is your favorite song by 38? (CunninLynguists)
    It's a tie between Seasons (Remix) and Don't Leave (When Winter Comes). The beat for the remix of seasons is amazing and fits the lyrcs perfectly.

    15. Is there a song by 19 that makes you happy? (Murs)
    The Night Before is nice. Bad Man! is a good party tune.

    16. Is there a song by 25 that makes you sad? (Feist)
    Yep. Let It Die, The Park & How My Heart Behaves. To name a few.

    17. What is the first song you ever heard by 23? (Jean Grae)
    Love Song.

    18. What's your favorite lyric by 11? (Bat for Lashes)
    From Good Love:
    "In the night time we are found
    Misty sorrow swoop unbound
    Whisper you mean it, say you'll stay
    Hold my heart till brighter days"

    19. Who is a favorite member of 1? (Aesop Rock)
    Ian Matthias Bavitz (aka Aesop Rock). Tricky one that.

    20. Is there a song by 14 that makes you happy? (WHY?)
    Gemini (Birthday Song) and A Sky For Shoeing Horses Under both put a smile on my face.

    21. What is a good memory involving 27? (Burial)
    I listened a lot to Burial when I initially moved to London, so maybe that.

    22. What is your favorite song by 16? (Regina Spektor)
    Samson was the first song I heard by her, and I absolutely loved it. Still find it amazing. But she's done so many incredible tracks, other favourites are Ode To Divorce and Somedays.

    23. What is the first song you ever heard by 47? (Radiohead)
    Creep, back in the day. Not really feeling their recent stuff.

    24. What is your favourite album by 18? (The Clash)
    London Calling - one of the greatest albums ever made imo.

    25. What is your favorite song by 21? (Madvillain)
    Accordion.

    26. What is the first song you ever heard by 26? (Masta Ace)
    Beautiful.

    27. What is your favorite album by 3? (Death Cab for Cutie)
    Plans. Even quality throughout, not one bad song on the entire album.

    28. What is you favorite song by 2? (Sigur Rós)
    Probably Með suð í eyrum or Saeglopur. A lot of good songs to choose from though.

    29. What was the first song you ever heard by 32? (Boards of Canada)
    Music Is Math was featured in a Swedish movie, and that's what made me start listening to them.

    30. What is you favorite song by 8? (The Album Leaf)
    We Need Help.

    31. How many times have you seen 17 live? (Bon Iver)
    None, but I'd love to. Hopefully within the next year.

    32. Is there a song by 44 that makes you happy? (Lykke Li)
    Everybody But Me (Christoffer Remix). The lyrics are depressing as anything, but it's still that instant party anthem.

    33. How did you get into 12? (Madlib)
    Through Jaylib's Champion Sound.

    34. What is the worst song by 45? (Buck 65)
    Kennedy Killed the Hat (which a lot of people seem to love)

    35. What was the first song you ever heard by 34? (Groove Armada)
    My friend, yet again on MTV back in High School. I still remember the video.

    36. What was the first song you ever heard by 48? (Koushik)
    Lying in the Sun.

    37. How many times have you seen 42 live? (One Be Lo)
    None.

    38. What is you favorite song by 36? (The Shins)
    New Slang & Sea Legs.

    39. What was the first song you ever heard by 28? (Cat Power)
    The Greatest

    40. What is you favorite album by 7? (J Dilla)
    Donuts! A classic.

    41. Is there a song by 31 that makes you happy? (P.O.S.)
    Goodbye. Great beat.

    42. What is your favorite album by 41? (Zero 7)
    Simple Things.

    43. What is your favorite song by 24? (Azure Ray)
    Rise. (In fact the song with the most plays in my entire library.)

    44. What is a good memory you have involving 46? (Dosh)
    I listened a lot to Wolves and Wishes when I went to Tokyo last year, and listening to that album still reminds me of the good times I spent there.

    45. What is your favorite song by 35? (DJ Shadow)
    Stem/Long Stem, hands down. Amazing track.

    46. Is there a song by 9 that makes you happy? (The Streets)
    I guess the easy answer here would be to mention any song off Everything Is Borrowed. But I'm not really a big fan of Mike Skinner going all happy-go-lucky, so I'd have to say Fit But You Know It and Don't Mug Yourself.

    47. What is your favorite album by 4? (Atmosphere)
    Lucy Ford, followed by God Loves Ugly.

    48. Who is your favorite member of 37? (Bloc Party)
    Don't have one.

    49. What is the first song you ever heard by 43? (Band of Horses)
    The Funeral. Still reckon it's one of their best songs.

    50. What is your favorite song by 20? (The Roots)
    You Got Me. High school memories right there.

  • My top 10 releases of this decade

    Nov 19 2009, 18h59 por Aurist-

    ignore the dreadful formatting im lazy





    10. Boredoms - Seadrum/House of Sun



    This completely epitomised my long-time love for long, long music that you allow yourself to be enveloped in, to notice
    all the subtle changes in sound and direction, music that makes you feel like you're almost there with the creators as
    it's being made - this lush, pulsing album really makes you feel like you're there with Boredoms as they pound away
    at the drums while the sea comes in. I don't know the story behind House of Sun but what I do know is that it is their
    most trance-inducing song yet. A real experience of a release.

    9. Gnaw Their Tongues - bubonic burial rites


    (doesn't have a cover...)

    An extremely intense sonic journey through so many facets of humanity - for example, the title track feels like you're
    being led on a tour of all the pain and suffering in the world, through places which can only be described as hell on
    earth, and then you're just dropped onto the ground to think it all through - and as the strings come in, you realise
    this is an overwhelming sadness, beyond even anger. Truly the high point of GTT so far.

    8. Nik Bärtsch's Ronin - Holon



    An exercise in subtlety and rhythm, each song in this album builds ever-increasing structures starting from the simplest
    little piano arpeggio or percussive shake, each layer twisting in a new level of complexity; each song has a really great groove
    but at the same time it feels impossible to move to, each instrument playing in its own time signature but all coming together
    to form this crazy addictive polyrhythm you want to experience over and over again.

    7. Nadja - The Bungled & The Botched



    This record took the whole idea of post-rock/metal and drone and shook it to its logical high-point. Every single note
    and flicker of sound fits so well, like it was created just to be there for the song. Both songs breath from start to finish,
    developing to a natural and incredible climax, though at the same time they both form a piece in itself, track one tiding over
    into track two in a sea of explosive noise. Absolutely beautiful.


    6. Guilty Connector - Beats, Noise and Life



    Still one of the best noise releases I've ever heard. The first time I ever heard noise was in the track "Cosmic Conspiracy",
    and it was truly overwhelming - at the time, I didn't know what to make of it, now, I revel in it. It's tough to define
    exactly what makes noise great, but the sound in this record in particular works so perfectly. Works from the harshest layered noise
    through really interesting percussive sound all the way to quiet, tinny, ambient sounds that leave you not knowing quite what to
    expect. A truly unique and outstanding album.


    5. Thomas Bangalter - IRREVERSIBLE (Irréversible)



    An amazing album as it was, packed full of harsh beats, euphoria and journeys through light and dark all made to look so easy,
    yet being the soundtrack to the film Irréversible gave it even more depth. No longer was Outrun just an excellent house track,
    it took on a dreadful sense of foreboding. Suddenly the classical symphony at the end, such a casual sounding piece,
    became the most horrific sound in the world, perhaps beaten only by the barrage of noise that takes over for the final track,
    simply titled, "The End".

    4. Johnny Foreigner - Waited Up 'til It Was Light



    My teenage love, my rash and capricious attachment to something that engaged me so much I was fixated for at least a year,
    identifying with lyrics that meant almost nothing to me, gradually becoming more happy in my tastes
    as I realised that I didn't care how unashamedly cool this album was. This album is nailed into my heart as much as my
    perpetual crises of confidence and incapability to understand my own thoughts.


    3. Boards of Canada - Geogaddi



    I don't know what other people think but when the last two tracks of an album are first a tiny piece of looped ambience
    and second 2 minutes of pure silence and they manage to become the highlight of the album it really says something
    about this album. This album feels like a journey through weather experiences, through fragmented thoughts
    scattered across every mind in the world. Alongside this was really really neat sound constructions, strange combinations
    of odd sound sources that somehow came together to form this drifting, suddenly skipping, so natural-sounding whole.
    Absolutely beautiful.

    2. Scissor Shock - The Mars Travolta



    The main reason for me picking this particular release of theirs above any other is this: it feels like it takes all the
    very best elements of Scissor Shock and puts it into one place, where without this you would have to scour every single album
    (although you should be doing that anyway!). There's the Beefheart played through a tape recorded while
    under angular pressure side, the hella dirty, trashy, droney side, the side that sounds like what cybergrind should
    have sounded like (chaotic, sudden, shocking, like a million sounds all being played once at 800bpm), the moments of pure beauty
    (thinking "bodymelt" in particular here), so many sides to Scissor Shock it really is impossible to list them all.
    They basically encompass so much that is the best thing about music.

    1. Sleepytime Gorilla Museum - Of Natural History



    Ranging from amazing compositions of music that feels like a really messed-up and philosophical musical number ("A Hymn To the Morning Star", "Cockroach")
    to detailed experiments in percussion ("Bring Back the Apocalypse", "The 17-Year Cicada") like Nils Frykhdal's ranging voice from the gruffest baritone to the highest falsetto, this album is truly
    incredible from start to finish. The concept behind the album talks of human's gradual emulation of the lower animals and tries to work
    out exactly why this is, while looking at the views of the Futurists and the Freedom Club (Theodore Kaczynski's, aka. the "Unabomber", group
    of activists) providing two starkly contrasting views on society and the human as a species yet with eerie similarities. The songs
    each tell tales of elements of the world, yet are in no way done in the usual concept album style where the songs try too hard to
    fit in a story and sacrifice the music. Using unusual instrumentation and even custom instruments that didn't exist before,
    Sleepytime Gorilla Museum constructed, for me, the single most inspirational album I have heard that came from this decade.
  • Dissing my top 25

    Nov 15 2009, 3h54 por DefaultXR

    1. Autechre
    Two nerdy white boys from England making non-rhythmic instrumental "music" on extremely complex and expensive equipment, then they have the gall to mention hip-hop in an interview. Yeah, you're so totally hip-hop.

    Another thing: Quaristice sucks. It used to be that your music was confusing because it was so abstract and otherworldly. Quaristice is confusing because I can't tell whether I loathe it or love it.

    It's totally obvious that you're using Machinedrums exclusively now, by the way. Please go back to your old way of making music--EXPERIMENTING! If your next album is another Quaristice-type affair, then you're pretty much dead to me. Just being honest.

    2. Download
    No matter how hard they try, they're never going to make anything as good as The Eyes of Stanley Pain ever again. But with Fixer it seems like they're trying to, and so they're probably never going to make anything as good as III ever again either.

    3. Skinny Puppy
    You're taking too much influence from "IDM" cliches like snare rushes and all that bullshit. Don't turn into Aphex Twin or I will hate you forever. Also, Mythmaker is very hit-or-miss, which frustrates me, but I'm not really expecting you to make anything as good as Last Rights or Too Dark Park again.

    4. Black Dice
    Your first four albums are amazing. Well, perhaps that's an overstatement, but they were really good because even though you were working with some very amusical sounds, the results were almost undeniably musical, but still quite experimental. With Load Blown, you pretty much perfected your skills in turning obtuse noises into pop songs.

    That's enough complimenting though. Repo fucking blows. You've become just another "experimental" (notice the quotes) band. As I listen to Repo, half of me is enjoying the weird sounds and textures you make, while the other half is crying softly because of those fucking drumloops. You've lost your experimental edge, and for what? Your sound was perfect, and you tainted it with one of the most cliche things in electronic music. I hate drumloops in experimental music. They're so overused and fucking BORING as hell. Maybe you could've saved yourselves if they were at least drenched in effects, but all you did to them was a little bit of distortion. Fuck drumloops, fuck Repo, and fuck you.

    5. Dead Voices on Air
    Shap, Frankie Pett Presents..., and Piss Frond were all really great records, so what the hell happened with From Labrador To Madagascar? It's pretty wanky. You have a new album out that I haven't gotten yet. I hope it's better.

    6. Scorn
    I really liked the first track on Stealth, but not enough to want to hear it seven more times.

    7. Prurient
    Just because Pleasure Ground was pretty good doesn't mean you should start using melodies all the time. If I wanted melodies, I wouldn't be listening to you. What happened to the emptiness of Black Vase and the action-packed ragefest of Church of Ammunition? The latter was an EP of two tracks, and it's still my favorite thing you've ever done. TWO TRACKS! That is NOT enough! Do more in that style and drop this melodic bullshit.

    8. Gorillaz
    Sometimes I feel like I shouldn't be listening to music this cool. Why was this project retired? Also, I keep forgetting to check out that new (old now) "Monkey" album. I don't remember what it's called.

    9. Swans
    Why so serious?

    10. La Peste
    I seriously hate Second Life because of people like you. Instead of making your music available in the real world, you perform concerts in Second Life. That is fucking lame as hell. I don't want to get an account on Second Life just to hear new songs by you. Seriously, work on the Hangars-Liquides website. Make some music available for free. You have no idea how hard it was for me to find the little that I got, and most of it was from your speedcore/throwaway era, not the I was expecting. I hate to end my rant about you on a good note, but the three flashcore albums I do have by you are fucking amazing. Do more of that, and not in Second Life. Please.

    11. Final
    Why is it that the further I get from my #1, the harder it is to come up with criticisms of these artists? Shouldn't it be the opposite? Well, anyway, I don't like the online distribution thing you're doing. I'd rather just get actual CDs. 3 was a great album, and I really don't expect anything after it to be as good, so I guess the online distribution thing isn't really that big a deal to me. Just from what I've read, it sounds like they're going to be drone made from guitar. I prefer the highly-processed form of drone like Burning Star Core and your first three albums. If I wanted guitar drone, I'd listen to Boris with Merzbow.

    12. Mindless Self Indulgence
    You'll Rebel to Anything and If were jokes. And I don't mean "joke" in the "Mindless Self Indulgence is a joke" sense of the word. I mean that you sold out, and fuck you. "If" is just pure pop-punk bullshit. MSI is dead to me.

    13. Boredoms
    Chocolate Synthesizer and Super Ae were good. Seadrum/House of Sun went on for far too long. I get the feeling that when you FINALLY release your next album, it won't be very good.

    14. Gridlock
    Further was too long, Trace was too "IDM" and Formless's tracks all sound the same. I rarely listen to an album by you all the way through. Also, your music can be very colorless and boring unless I'm in the mood for it.

    15. Ryoji Ikeda
    Dataplex was good enough; we didn't need another one in the form of Test Pattern. But we also didn't need See You At Regis Debray, because it sounds like a fucking joke.

    16. Burning Star Core
    Did you run out of ideas with Challenger? You released TWO amazing albums in 2007, so it shouldn't be that hard to make something for 2009. Time is running out, and so is my patience.

    17. Gescom
    See #1. Let's be honest here--Gescom is hardly an "umbrella project". It's probably 99% Autechre, and maybe somebody from Boards of Canada helps out once in a while. If it isn't, it sure sounds like it.

    A1-D1 suffers from the same problem that Quaristice does--some tracks are just mindblowingly good, while others are just mindblowingly bad.

    18. Krovo
    Self-conscious humor can be kind of lame sometimes, but I don't care. The current image you have up is really lame. For how much you claim to hate MySpace, you sure don't have any problem with taking pictures in that stupid MySpace way--holding your own camera at a vomit-inducing angle and then applying some angsty black-and-white effect.

    Skk was better than Senkyder. Senkyder was a fucking sell-out, and the title track is just ridiculous. You seem to have dissolved into self-parody. Some of your tracks go on for a few minutes too long for the amount of ideas they have. Just because you have semidecent writing skills and can thus make your project sound cool in the biography doesn't mean you should, because you make it sound a lot more experimental than it is. (I'd like to note, though, that I do have tracks in the works that are much more experimental than the things currently on last.fm... Also, if you haven't caught on by now, Krovo is my project. Shameless self-promotion alert!)

    19. Pan Sonic
    When you limit yourself to a VERY small sound palette, it's inevitable that some of your songs are going to sound pretty much the same. Contrary to popular opinion, Kesto probably isn't your best album. (I really like A better.) But I can't say for sure, since I've never listened to the whole thing. You know why I haven't? It's FOUR FUCKING DISCS LONG!

    20. Pigface
    DO ANOTHER REMIX ALBUM, WHY DON'T YOU? Oh, and I see on RYM that you have another album in the works. Took you long enough!

    21. Venetian Snares
    It pisses me off that you're in the top artists for the tag . (If you want to know why, read my shout on that page.) It saddens me that your recent work is so melodic. You're so much better with rhythm, but it seems like you're downplaying that aspect of your music. Doll Doll Doll is a great album, but it's doubtful that you're going to make anything as different and atmospheric as that was ever again. Maybe I should stop assuming things about the future of artists in order to diss them, though.

    22. Merzbow
    It's too bad that your songs are usually so long, because I really love your sounds, but they go on for too long most of the time. Anyone who has OCD about their music collection hates you, by the way, because it's pretty much impossible to get everything you've ever done. I'm glad I don't have OCD. Unfortunately, I do have a bit of ADD, hence the hatred for your long songs.

    23. ohGr
    Maybe you should've left it at two albums. Devil's In My Details is decent but it's got the same problem as Mythmaker in that it's far too hit-and-miss for my tastes. Some of the songs are just stupid, like that one with the chicken clucking.

    24. Winterkälte
    Disturbance's beats were too obvious, Structures of Destruction's beats went on too long, and Drum N Noise was too samey. You have yet to make your perfect album, but it would seem you've dropped off the face of the Earth. That's too bad, because a lot of the other power noise acts I've listened to are pretty cheesy IMO.

    25. Plastikman
    Your lyrics are terrible, and Closer as a whole wasn't very good, especially compared to Musik and Consumed. I don't know if you've got another album in the works, and I don't even care enough to check right now.
  • To check:

    Nov 14 2009, 23h22 por bzitkichlopcik

    But... hm. My "music horizons" will be muuuuuuuch wider. And my mind - horizons as well.
    Of course, there's a huuuge group of bands that I know and sometimes listen, but only a few songs and I want to explore them more (or something like this xD) and group of bands that I have to check since oh-i don't-know-when xD

    Oh, I've almost fogotten.
    Little message to people, who accidentally read it: I'm sorry for my mistakes, if there's some, but, you know, I'm just a little polish girl... :D
