are we sure jamie xx didn’t produce this?
THINK.
You win April Fool’s, Stereogum. Wait. Shit.
Agreed. If you’re telling us The Weeknd is the Buzziest story of the past week, we should be able to easily access it from this chart. If the chart’s purpose is to tell us the biggest stories, going to those stories from the chart is the logical next step for a reader.
James Blake – Lindisfarne
pet sounds
Revolver
I wish blogs would stop churning the fire and stirring up controversy for controversy’s sake. If you like the song/video, great. Post it. Let us enjoy it, too. I don’t really see the point in posting a video and essentially saying HEY LET’S ARGUE ABOUT THIS VIDEO BECAUSE WE SAID TO. HERE ARE THE TWO OPINIONS YOU CAN HAVE. GO.
best coast – sun was high (so was i)
clive deamer (portishead)
some of my favorites that didn’t make either list (but i didn’t expect them and also i’m not an asshole so this isn’t a complaint, just a personal list):
tennis – cape dory
youth lagoon – the year of hibernation
best coast – itunes session ep
seapony – go with me
dale earnhardt jr. jr. – it’s a corporate world
love inks – e.s.p.
big k.r.i.t. – return of 4eva
generationals – actor-caster
this list definitely aligns more with my taste than stereogum’s. BUT:
1. i still can’t believe SPIN liked the strokes record
2. like stereogum’s, this list needs 100 percent more cults
“before” and “a dedication” are absolutely stunning. most of the rest of the record seems kind of monotonous my first couple of times through, hopefully that changes with multiple listens. even though it does feel monotonous, it gives off a good vibe and, like HartfordTheWhale said before me, it’s a great summer vibe.
Cults, James Blake, Panda Bear
surfer blood – floating vibes
Glad The Black Keys’ “Everlasting Light” is so high on that singles list. Great track.
LFO – Summer Girls
Let the summer jam train begin.
