The Fluxblog 2011 Survey is in!

Oh Lordy!  This is exactly what I needed!  I bought like 6 albums tops that came out this year and listened to 5.  Only one of those was by people whose stuff I wasn't already familiar with from ye olden days.  That was the Anna Calvi album, and it is magnificent.

The 2010 one is still available.  You should definitely grab that one while you are at it.  I've been listening to it all year long.

I think I have done some sort of full-circle thing, hipsterism wise, because even the bands that I like on that list, I have not heard their new albums. There are 3 or 4 songs on there that I have heard. One of which is Azealia Banks' 212, which i would find super annoying if it weren't for the fact that I love watching a black woman's mouth move while she talks.

See, unlike everywhere else, I sort of LIKE the idea of my rock heroes being kinda assholey.

Under what other logic could I both Robert Fripp and Axl Rose a whole lot? They are basically polar opposites inside the idea of being a rock and roll person except that they seem like heroically awesomely kind of assholes about some things.

Yeah this keep popping up and I don't get it.  Onstad especially kept implying that Robert Fripp is probably an asshole but I don't see it at all.  He may be an obvious perfectionist, but how uptight can you be if you're letting Belew do a solo of elephant noises, and your breakthrough album has like 10 minutes of an ambient noise jam.  You have to be pretty loose personality-wise in some aspects, I would think.

I would bet strongly that Fripp is actually a nice dude.  "[He makes the hardest chord possible in pictures.]"  Shut up Onstad, he's pretty humble.  And he doesn't even play many chords you dummy.

Music-wise he has always let the band members he's chosen strongly influence KC's music.  With KC it has never seemed to me like he was a band-leader authoritarian.

His solo album was REAL garbage though, don't ever bother listening to it and just pretend it doesn't exist.  Really, don't.

Ah yes, Mew.  I learned about them via a mixdisc I got from a TOUAMB swap.  It came from Starlight.  I wish she would come back, if only to curate another mixdisc.  Ha ha.

I remember her mix had 3 Mew cuts.
