btw, when are we going to start the threat for our own best of the year?

Give it a few more weeks and we'll get a comp going.

There already is a best of end-of-year list; jackhammer started it a few weeks ago.

Most of that list is shite anyways.

I'm not pigeonholeing or prejudicing anything.

I don't see how just because i've not listened to 20 albums that everybody else thinks is good that makes me closed minded.

I just listen to what I want , I'm sure the Bon Iver album is excellent and one day I might listen to it , I just don't feel any urgency to check it out right now.

It doesn't. But this sure made it sound like you were implying something wholly different:

I'm implying that i'm not going to be listening to any of them anytime soon.

In other words there's nothing there that grabs me as being spectacularly amazing that warrants being heard before the list of albums I have already chosen to check out.

And i'm not in the loop when it comes to whatever pitchfork or NME or whoever are hyping these day. I prefer to go looking for and checking out stuff by myself.

And that isn't a prejudice?

How is it prejudice?

I'll take your word for it...

Don't, at least three songs on it warrant your attention; Kids, Time to pretend and Electric feel, I consider all of them to be amongst the best singles this year. I believe you can youtube all of them.

I thought it was overproduced dross. And it doesn't help their cause that MGMT is one of the worst live acts in the country.

Well you're wrong.

Albums- I only like two of them and Kooks? Jesus christ on a bike.
