i've tried starting threads on new bands, records, etc ... but the discussion almost never takes off. there used to be a lot of enthusiasm about hearing new music on this board, which i think peaked back when audiogalaxy was still around and we had our own group where we passed around music that had been talked about on the forum.

as matt himself has said, these days the ratio of people here solely for UW (and Darren Emerson, and maybe Trentemoller har har) to people who are constantly looking for new music seems to be a LOT higher. anyone who says "well duh it's an UW forum" obviously doesn't know/remember how it used to be.

i think there just needs to be a critical mass. a bunch of people left.

if there were:

more talk about records, and
less middlebrow apologist nonsense
(the two work against each other)

in this thread, it'd actually start to feel kinda old-school! that's a good thing

Fair enough. What else on the list shall we discuss? Given that 2 Bit Pie is at 26th, someone other than myself must've voted for them. Though it's not a redefinition of electronic music or anything, this latest incarnation of Fluke & Syntax is quite adventurous by those band's previous standards. Heavy guitar, dual vocals, even a space opera jam (think "Fifth Element" but harder).

well this is the problem! i hadn't even heard of this 2 bit pie project, but i love fluke to death so i would have loved an entire thread based on it, and for one, then i'd have found out about it soon enough to get it into my top 10!

i'm excited about this one, my heart actually skipped a beat when you said fluke

edit: kid cue, if i did my list right now i'd probably have the clipse albumn and the black grass albumns, but i only got them a week or so before xmas, so i didn't have time to get into it... i'm just a bit far behind

Damn. And I thought the world forum could be rough.

[kid cue]

i'm actually pleased that Clipse made it into the top 20. i feel like this would've been inconceivable a few years ago. a lot of it probably has to do with all the critical support for them, though -_-
