Music Chat Thread V. The Music Section is Dead (Long Live the Music Section)

I don't even pay attention to release dates, I just check shit like No Sleep and Run for Cover to see if any cool shit is coming out soon because I'm a bit of a label whore. In other news, finally got around to checking out Sunny Day Real Estate and I'm blown away.
Seriously, Jeremy Enigk was almost the exact same age as I am now when he played the Jon Stewart show back in '94. Jealousy
[QUOTE=.Isak.;46945111]does anyone here listen to Young Fathers? I've been catching up on 2014 releases I missed and holy fucking shit, DEAD is one of the best albums I've heard all year. It's fucking phenomenal. Unlike anything else I've ever heard. Death Grips and clipping experiment with hip hop by merging it with a wall of noise, but Young Fathers manages to mix hip-hop with pop and indie and industrial and a unique african influence and a dozen other genres and it's still catchy and interesting. They have unconventional song structure that makes their songs sound totally unique.
Seriously, listen to Young Fathers - it's some of the best music I heard last year.

Also, 2015 is going to be as amazing as 2013 for music. 2014 was largely a year for small artists - 2015 has powerhouses releasing albums again, plus some great smaller artist releases planned.
These are the album I'm absolutely going to get next year. Alphabetical order, except yeezy at #1 for obvious reasons:
Kanye West - TBD
Action Bronson - Mr. Wonderful
Adele - 25
AlunaGeorge - TBD
A$AP Rocky - TBD
BADBADNOTGOOD and Ghostface Killah - Sour Soul
Band of Horses - TBD
Big Sean - TBD
Bjork - TBD
Chance the Rapper & The Social Experiment - Surf
The Decemberists - What a Terrible World, What a Beautiful World
Death Cab for Cutie - Kintsugi
Death Grips - the powers that b
Drake - Views from the 6
Earl Sweatshirt - TBD
Father John Misty - I Love You, Honeybear
Frank Ocean - TBD
Grimes - TBD
Hudson Mohawke - TBD
James Blake - Radio Silence
Jamie xx - TBD
Jay Rock - TBD
Kendrick Lamar - TBD
Kid Cudi - Man on the Moon III (fuck yessss)
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis - TBD
Mac Miller - TBD
Modest Mouse - Strangers to Ourselves
Purity Ring - TBD
Pusha T - King Push
Radiohead - TBD
Run the Jewels - Run the Jewels 3, Meow the Jewels
Tame Impala - TBD
Travi$ Scott - Rodeo
Twin Shadow - Eclipse
Vince Staples - TBD
Most of the "TBDs" are rumored or not officially announced, but most of them seem likely.
With Adele, Kanye, and Drake on the stage again - holy fuck, this'll be an enormous year after the pathetic slump that was 2014. Adele's guaranteed at least double plat, if she doesn't manage to trump 21 and go diamond again.[/QUOTE]
These are all just artists you like. people like different stuff. 2014 was a great year

So hype for the new Bjork.

Was so bored by Dead, it just sounded like hip hop for Arctic Monkeys fans
In other news got the ormolcyka stuff I started ordering at the beginning of August

2014 was a pretty good year I don't know what you're on about. Big name artists not releasing albums doesn't really mean much.
Relistening to MBDTF again, album is so fucking good.
When you abbreviate things a lot of the time people have zero clue what you're talking about.

My beautiful dark twisted fantasy.
I knew exactly what it was, pretty commonly used acronym
[QUOTE=.Isak.;46945417]2012 and 2013 were phenomenal years. 2014 is shit in comparison:
01. Frozen, Soundtrack (2014 soundtrack)
02. Beyoncé, Beyonce (2013)
03. 1989, Taylor Swift (2014)
04. Midnight Memories, One Direction (2014)
05. The Marshall Mathers LP 2, Eminem (2013)
06. Pure Heroine, Lorde (2013)
07. Crash My Party, Luke Bryan (2013)
08. PRISM, Katy Perry (2013)
09. Blame It All On My Roots: Five Decades of Influence, Garth Brooks (2013 box set)
10. Here's to the Good Times, Florida Georgia Line (2013)
Seriously. There are two non-soundtrack albums in the top 10 that were actually released this year - the rest were released last year. Only the top 3 broke the 1 million mark - the data's from Dec 9th and outdated, because Taylor Swift overtook Beyonce. That's still a terrible-ass year. Compare that 2013:
01. Justin Timberlake, The 20/20 Experience (2,427,000)
02. Eminem, The Marshall Mathers LP 2 (1,727,000)
03. Luke Bryan, Crash My Party (1,521,000)
04. Imagine Dragons, Night Visions (1,402,000)
05. Bruno Mars, Unorthodox Jukebox (1,399,000)
06. Florida Georgia Line, Here's to the Good Times (1,350,000)
07. Drake, Nothing Was the Same (1,344,000)
08. Beyoncé, Beyoncé (1,301,000)
09. Blake Shelton, Based on a True Story (1,109,000)
10. JAY Z, Magna Carta... Holy Grail (1,099,000)
Every single top 10 album sold over a million by the end of the year. All of them. 9 of them were released in 2013 - Bruno Mars was the only 2012 album.
Seriously, when it came to popular music, 2014 was like sitting in a desert watching tumbleweed. 2012 and 2013 were like partying in Times Square. It was a miserable year (in the US), even when you consider that the RIAA started counting streams into purchase numbers this year.
I really hope that 2015 is flooded with music. 2014 was weak as shit when it came to popular music.[/QUOTE]
2014 was a good year for music still. Pop music isn't the sole signifier of a quality year in music in fact I'd say its not very important at all considering we had releases from Swans, Xiu Xiu and Aphex Twin of all people which didn't chart but were phenomenal albums. Also we got a new D'Angelo album which was frankly fantastic. And a Sun Kil Moon album. And a seriously good St Vincent album. AND a new album by Flylo. 2014 had some really fucking good music come out of it.
you guys are forgetting about all the Issues that were released last year
top quality stuff

this is the only thing that matters
I really liked [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQdPiBvpCdE]this track[/url] from GTA V (just like everybody else) but I can't seem to find anything like it. Anybody have any suggestions if I'm wanting more?
Is it the vibe you want more of or actual sounds from the song?

Anyone dig Capital Cities? Picked up their vinyl and got a digital key if you'd like it.
The Viet Cong record is pretty good

Continental Shelf has been getting stuck in my head a lot lately.
Ugh some idiot on facebook claiming a nation wide vote for the best song of the previous year is for 'alternative music' only and should be taken seriously.
it's not like music is subjective (which makes voting things like this pointless) and that the best song of the previous year is not always an 'underground' one. gah i intensely dislike music snobs on FB

Just fuck man, somethign only wins the Triple J Top 100 if it's been overplayed on every fucking radio station for months like, how can you claim that Arcade Fire (who haven't even won it) only got into the mainstream audience because they won a fucking vote down in Australia. How backward can your view of the music industry get?
I am so antsy over this, i dont know why
