deadreckoning Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 I looked at a bunch of lists and I think I only have one of those records. Plus, I don't think anyone listed Ringworm Hammer of the Witch. I must have accidentally stumbled into oppositeland. Its awesome. So I also dug... Give - Electric Flower Circus Street eaters - blood::muscles::bones Institute - salt Protomartyr no mercy reissue Looking forward to new murder by death, No///se, and chuck ragan. my wife and I don't overlap on our musical tastes too much. She doesn't like loud and screamy. For xmas I bought her the new luluc, angel olsen, fear of men and Damien rice. They're not bad. Listening to fear of men as we head jersey bound on 95.

Bladewillisisdead Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 Call it a philosophical difference if anyone disagrees, but no ones best of list should have more than 10 albums on it (maybe an honorable mention or two if needed). I get the sense that some of these aren't lists of the top albums, but just everything that someone bought throughout the year and didn't hate. Yeah, I don't care how many albums you listened to or how many movies you saw but anything more than a Top 10 or 15 is overkill. topher 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bladew1ll1s1sdead Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 So many of those bands are similar genres to me, this makes zero sense to me how you can hate all on my list lolYo, do you like acoustic music with vocals? If yes, I don't know how you don't like Charles Manson's music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Ringworm album rips. Once I can actually decide on my list they will be on it for sure. I haven't seen any Boston Strangler, Exit Verse (Geoff Farina of Karate) or The Van Pelt which comes as a surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen any Boston Strangler, Exit Verse (Geoff Farina of Karate) or The Van Pelt which comes as a surprise. I dug Karate, but I'd never heard of Exit Verse. Digging it. Geoff played at the coffee shop I used to work at with his band Glorytellers, years back. Wish I'd had some Karate vinyl to have him sign, but he signed a Glorytellers' record sleeve for me. Cool dude. Edit: Listened to a song, then bought the LP on amazon. $10.99 shipped is nothing to scoff at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I feel a little bit like an old curmudgeon popping in here each day, because I've never heard of a bunch of these bands. As far as folks listing all this emo revival stuff, it's ok...I just can't get that into it. Everyone wants to be Tim fucking Kinsella and they're not. The only really new music I've been finding this year that I can get into is stoner/doom metal and pop surprisingly. <3 No offense meant. Everyone likes different stuff and I get it. I just feel olllllllddddddd.<3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
