Mine's already changed!

There's a few metalheads here.... I'm sure you are aware, the Triptykon record is pretty special. It's Thomas Fischer - 'im out of Hellhammer, Celtic Frost and Appolyon Sun. Sound like an update of this classic to my ears

Fennesz - Becs is making a late play for my affections.

I'm going to the Dome gig - I decided that they'll fill that room with sound beautifully, it'll be the first time I've seen them since The Haunt on Slave Ambient, which was one of my favourite gigs of that year. It's possible to simulataneously like an album and be a little bit repulsed by it...

Clearly!

Very pale, look like they could do with eating more meat, unlikely to have a girlfriend, have spent time in Games Workshop as an adult.

I've never seen eye to eye with Aphex Twin either. This new album's doing nothing to change that. It doesn't help that every single Aphex Twin fan I've ever met has fit a certain profile. I'm totally willing to conceede that I'm in the wrong here. Still it took me nearly 5 years of listeneing...

Did anyone rate Syro, the Aphex Twin album? It picked up Wire's album of the year gong so I'm giving it another go. It was one of those that I listened to, liked, put it on the 'come back to this pile' and never got back to it. I see Pitchfork picked RTJ2. First hip hop record to win theirs...

They've only left it longer than 2 years between 'proper' albums once.... Hopefully some new stuff at Krankenhaus tomorrow, that would be nice.

What records are people looking forward to in 2015? Sleater Kinney, Viet Cong, HEALTH, Modest Mouse, Julia Holter (hopefully), Panda Bear, A Place To Bury Strangers, Zun Zun Egui, John Maus, Deerhunter (hopefully.) Locally - Slum of Legs, Cold Pumas, British Sea Power (I'd imagine...)...

10. Ought – More Than Any Other Day “Yet their debut album is a deeply earnest cry of moral anxiety, a brain-rattling melodic force, and a more or less ‘life-changing’ primer on how to stay sane in sticky times. What happened here?” http://drownedinsound.com/releases/18207/reviews/4147702 9...

I've had a go at albums of the year but it would probably be more accurate to call it what I've listened to most. And it'll likely change tomorrow. There's 3 Brighton based artists in there, metal makes a welcome return to the upper reaches of my list and I'm shocking myself with the amount of...

Agreed on the Caribou album, though the high points are really good. I actually wish he'd revisit his pre Swim days - I thought the purpose of the Daphni moniker was to take Caribou out of this "hands in the air" FM House teritory. The Peaking Lights album was probably the biggest for me. Their...

What were people disappointed by this year? Liars and Wild Beasts for me, I had really high hopes for both. Vision Fortune's new track (their released one of my favourite debuts of 2013 on Brighton's Faux Discx records -...

I really enjoyed RTJ2, I prefered the Ratking record, they played probably my favourite show at The Great Escape. Thanks for the list though, I will investigate.

If we were to revisit the 2012 thread you'd find me banging on about Gravenhurst's ridiculously good 'The Ghost In Daylight' album. A career highlight from an outstanding artist. Unfortunately he passed away a couple of weeks ago aged 39. A great loss - RIP Nick Talbot.

Anyone like the band DIIV? I did before I read this http://sexism-in-music.tumblr.com/post/105092338499/devin-ruben-perez-from-diiv-is-a-racist

Theatre of Trees - 3 of my favourite albums of the year in there, 2 I like, 5 I clearly need to hear!

The new record (like everything they've recorded so far) is a departure from what they did before. Stripped away the electronics, went to record with Steve Albini and presented themselves as something of a "power trio." I think this is the best track they've ever done - accessible, brief, with...

Ha. We all have our weaknesses, I'd imagine someone else could make the same accusation about Soft Walls, it's just that hits my spot! They're a good band, just not for me. Catch Lutine live if you get the chance, they are fab
