I'M ON PAINKILLERS AND I'M EXHAUSTED MY PORN COLLECTION.

LETS DO THIS SHIT.

Here's two things I've been into for a couple weeks:

One is Son Lux, which has come out with an album of some of the most explosively creative and original pop music that it almost defies description. Best track: We Lost It To Trying.

A conceptual electronic artist called The Caretaker has also released a ridiculously amazing album this year called An Empty Bliss Beyond This World (full album). It's a sonic sampling of alzheimers, as the schmaltzy-but-lovely music slowly, indiscernably erodes over the course of 54 minutes.

A great subway act from New York has recently come out with their own album.

The name of the band is Moon Hooch, and they feature two saxophonists and a drummer. That's it.

The songs are pretty simple, and they're pretty amateurish. But god damn, they are enjoyable.

I highly recommend "Number 9." Give it 30 seconds.

<iframe width="640" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/JOKn33-q4Ao?feature=player_detailpage" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Woodkid has come out with a really interesting album this year.

If you've ever heard the phrase "orchestral pop," this is that concept in the most literal sense.

The entire resources of a not-quite-full orchestra engineered entirely to produce original, short pop songs.

The guy's voice is smokey and phenomenal. They've started using some of his material in commericals.

Interesting - sounds like Wagon Christ at the beginning - then it goes into what sounds like 70's protest-rock.

I sorta feel that, actually.

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/9xLQAdxwaxo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I don't know much about Kishi Bashi, but they sure remind me a lot of what Animal Collective used to sound like. A ton of energy, not a lot of simple song structure. Just lots of elements thrown into a bowl, and hit "frappe." My recommendation is "Bright Whites."

Also, I am still of the belief that there is no more exciting musical artist right now than Kanye West.

He released an outstanding album this year, but it's caused me to go back and listen to his earlier stuff, like Late Registration, and I've found myself falling in love with extremely thoughtful, reflective tracks that almost seem to completely collide with the image Kanye's crafted for himself.

You need to throw some Wagon Christ into this thread. Fun artist.

Fyfe's "St. Tropez" is a short and sweet adventure. It's like two songs spliced into each other. It's a see-saw between gentle indie soul and orchestral bombast.

A friend of mine just peaked my interest in Madon's "Beggin'," which is just a really fun trip down soulful dance music. We need much, much more like this song.

I thought you left in disgust a couple of days ago.

you bet!

Daft Punk, of course, came out with perhaps the album of the year. They resurrected neo-disco and ****ing perfected it.

An outstanding disco rock song came out last year, however, from Penguin Prison: "Don't **** With My Money." Extremely catching song, the kind you whistle long after you heard it earlier in the day.

I think the best new-ish genre of the past several years is NOT chill wave, it's indie R&P. How To Dress Well and Active Child are two of the best of the best right now. I'm happy to dispense recommendations should anybody be aching for any.

But right now I've really loved this song by some group called Metronomy, called "The Look" remixed. Perfect example of what this genre does so perfectly.

Who? Me?

What led you to believe that?

I leave this board in disgust every day. :D

Here's something for SR: some good groove electro with that foggy, delicious haze I love so much and never seems to quite be as upbeat as you like it to be: :D

Schlohmo's "Later." This song takes precisely 1:25 to warm up. And then it hits its stride.

I used to like them a ton. Like, a ton a ton. The Richest Man In Babylon is still a damn good listen whenever I break it out.

I loved how they were able to so seemlessly work in any culture of music from the globe into their work. Nowadays, I tend to prefer different country's musical cultures on their own terms. I really like Oliver Mtukudzi, for starters.

This year, Beck released an album called Song Reader.

The really ****ed up thing about it? He didn't release it by CD. Or vinyl. Or even mp3.

He didn't release any performance of the album. He only released its sheet music and asked the world to play it themselves.

The result was a brilliant explosion of covers from every genre you can name, re-imagining Beck's original sheet music into their style.

My favorite is probably this gypsy band slinking through "Do We? We Do."

Huh. That was good.

The Night Beds were a pleasant discovery this year. If you really loved Bon Iver last year, the Night Beds are a great place to go next.

I'm also a pretty big fan of Joey Bada$$ -- I've never liked gangsta rap or any kind of abrasive rap. I like the rhythms of talking too much and Bada$$ is one of the better ones going around right now, like in "Wendy N Becky."

I don't know how much anybody gets into chamber music, but if you listen to one piece of chamber music this year, make sure it's Portland Cello Project's "Denmark." It is one of the most stunning pieces of music I've heard in a couple years.

The PCP is more of a gimmick than anything -- 8 cellos, and they usually cover pop songs like Outkast and shit. But they do have originals, and they are usually very good.

But... "Denmark" is just another world of quality.

I like this little flow

This one's more for SR. I konw you like more old school techno, but here's some extremely good big-bass techno that pulses with just some extremely good energy.

In the same vein am also a huge fan of Ratatat, and "Party With Children" is one of their best songs. An undeniable hook, and the entire video is just a parrot sitting around. I mean, what the hell.

Mucca Pazza is basically a silly live show that also features some amusing original music.

It's a 20-piece member of marching band members playing goofy songs, wearing ridiculous outfits, with their own cheerleaders and choreographed moves.

I saw them in St. Louis. A phenomenal show to see if you get a chance. This performance of "Bump" is perfectly representative of these ridiculous people. Very, very fun.

Holy **** are a really entertaining post rock band. Rather than winding songs for 15 minutes with only occasional rewards buried in them, they get right down to the point. "Lovely Allen" is a triumphant example of their direct, loud style.

Also -- and here's one SR might like and any drummers among us will adore: this guy plays the drum part to Aphex Twin's "Flim" live. Playing any Aphex Twin song live on the drums seems next to impossible. But this guy totally captures every little snap of that super complex rhythm part.

Round of applause for the dude.

haha

Pretty stinkin' close. I love the live horns that enter in the middle of the song.
