Well the last time you were in here was when it came out ya jerk! I'd like to take a moment to give a shout out to Heisel. You still mad baby?

I keep meaning to come out but I'm never in Oakland. I'll try to do it before the end of the holiday season. Also, am I mad or is Heisel mad? Because I adore you like fat kids love cake.

Are you serious? The latest Aesop Rock is pretty fucking inovative, i feel had a better response live than what I saw from POS. Both play at Amoeba this year there was no comparison.
The new Del is pretty dope too. Peanutbutter Wolf is amazing, but then again, he's been doing that shit for years.

Is the new Del anything like Eleventh Hour? I remember streaming it and being extremely disappointed.

Haven't checked out his new album but generally I find he isn't worth the hype. Too bad his production on the new Felt album is snooze worthy. I've never heard a guy put so much into making his beats so boring.

New Felt album? Felt as in Slug and Murs Felt? I gotta check that out; I like A Tribute to Lisa Bonet better than most of either of their other stuff.

Just snozzing around, man. I've posted quite a few insults across various sectors of the internet in the last few minutes. It's flooding in New Orleans again tonight. It's hilarious until I look out of my window. It makes me worry that I won't be able to see Canadian Rifle tomorrow night.

If you or anyone else here digs hip hop, may I suggest a long list of hip hop worth checking out:

CunninLynguists, Immortal Technique, Reflection Eternal (Talib Kweli & Hi-Tek collaboration), Paris, Prophets Of Da City, Dead Prez, The Roots, Ozomatli, Black Star (Mos Def & Talib Kweli collaboration), Nas, Erykah Badu, Unsung Heroes & TY, Chali 2na, Brother Ali and Kalamashaka.

A long list, I know. But hopefully it'll introduce some people to new music. It's always good to have broad tastes.

I agree - The POS album deserves a top spot in my books. So when is El-P going to do another full-length? I'll Sleep When You're Dead was such an epic album.

Agreed. Jeff totally should have put that shit #1, cheating be damned.

Got my pick for favorite 2009 album.

hush. It's so fucking good that it transcends time and release dates.

People who can eat people is amazing.... exspecially if you listen to it on shrooms. The first time i tossed on the record player i put it on 33 insted of 45 and it sounded like a 1920's black country blues. I dig.

Not to be a dick or anything, but EVERYTHING sounds amazing when you're on shrooms. I remember one time I was convinced CCR was the greatest band in history. Greatest. Band. In history! Bold statement and I was dead serious. Better than Mozart. Better than Bach. Better than the Stones. Better than the Wu-Tang Clan. Better than everything, ever.

Report  
skankin_in_the_pit (December 14, 2009)

But CCR is way better than any of those bands. And I can dig some Wu-Tang and Stones.

Your point would be make much more sense if you'd come to the conclusion that Cream or the Smiths or fucking Prince were the greatest bands/musicians ever. Then it'd be the shrooms.

Glad you mentioned the Stones. And CCR. You know what's wrong with all these top 10 lists? NONE of the albums listed even come close to the shittiest dreck the Stones or CCR would drop when they were wasted in their practice space.

Biggest story this year? MUSIC SUCKS.

Just listen to 'Can't Maintain' and try not to become a self-loathing, misanthropic maniac. It's like drugs for people who hate themselves. Definitely my favorite album of the year.

Drugs for people who hate themselves... I totally understand what is wrong with that.

Didn't that come out last year though? Anyways that album is great. Listening to it makes driving through traffic less shitty.

Brett can eat a bag of dicks.

disgusting, I mean my list isn't likely typical of these or the rest of the readership here but thats gross. U2 and Weezer? really? are these the only albums he heard all year?

Oh, I thought this was a joke...

Take away Lady Gaga, Weezer, U2, and A Day to Remember, Its a good list.

At least he's aware Bring Me The Horizon are fucking terrible...

It actually is pretty good, I dug that choice.

well a lot of people have mastodon, so maybe that counts?
KIDDING

why? I thought it was such a disappointment.

I only like Throwing Bricks at Trains

I agree, I'd almost put Nothington at #1. Not really a BTMI fan. Also what up with no Banner Pilot? I guess this isn't really about orgcore but Lucero also put out a damn fine album.
I agree on Muhammadali, we played 3 shows with those guys in 3 days and it was fun as hell and they're super nice.
