Stevo985 Posted December 5, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted December 5, 2012 i got one hip hop album this year, watch the throne, starts off brilliantly with some really good songs and then by the end of the album just turns in to songs that are moaning about the misfortunes of black people in america in other words it went shit I thought the same. The good songs on that album are really really good (Otis, Murder for Excellence, Niggas in Paris etc) But the rest are pretty meh at best. Incidentally, I've never been much of a fan of seeing any sort of hip hop artist live. Always thought it sounds a bit shit performed live. But Jay Z at Hackney Weekend earlier this year was really good. The Throne make a significant appearance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted December 5, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted December 5, 2012 Sharon Van Etten - Tramp Diiv - Oshin Richard Hawley - Standing on the sky's edge That's about it for me, pretty dull year. Though, the SVE has been my most played. Beautiful album. Need to get the Hawk Eyes and Policia album still. Will get today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 St Etienne going to see them in a weeks time at the Ritz in Manchester. I still far prefer their early work. Thought the new album was OK, but not fantastic. First Aid Kit Went to see them 2 weeks ago, also at the Ritz. Simply superb live. Vying with Isobel Campbell and Feist for Favourite gig status.

GarethRDR Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Granted, the Scandinavian post-rock etc might be a bit on the obscure side, but Future Of The Left and Poliça most definitely aren't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

islingtonclaret Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Granted, the Scandinavian post-rock etc might be a bit on the obscure side, but Future Of The Left and Poliça most definitely aren't! Scandinavian post-rock is certainly not in my knowledgable area. I think I stretch to Constellation records and some odd experimental Boredoms-style Japanese stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogso Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 That Om record kicked ass. I'll have to look over what I've listened to this year, and come up with a list. Mostly I've been listening to 90s emo/art rock/hardcore ala Tintoretto, Shroomunion, Patterns Make Sunrise, et al so the stuff I've listened to this year is a bit hazy...apart from the new Kylie Minoise full length. I remember that one real good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Diiv - Oshin Need to give this an honorary nod as 1) had I listened to it more/earlier, it probably would've made the list by now and 2) I wouldn't have even heard of DIIV were it not for the "what album..." thread. And it really is superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
