At the beginning of 2k8, I made a post about bands I did not listen to in 2k7. Now it is 2k9, and I will make a list of bands that I did not listen to in 2k8. It is important to understand that you are a consumer in a wide open marketplace. You allegedly have tons of options, with lots of music 2 listen 2. However, it is important 2 recognize that u usually ‘judge a band by itz name’ kinda like how u ‘judge books by their covers.’ If a book has a zany/boring/confusing cover, you will not buy it. The same theory applies to band names.
A band may or may not have to do more to be ‘worth your time’ than just have a zany/interesting/bloggable name. The names of bands are co-branded with U on your facebook/myspace profile. Their product + name = very important.
This is a rundown of bands I have not listened to in 2k8. ////////
/////////////////////
]]]]]]]] s00 closed minded
[[[[[[[/[ :-(
/////////////////////
King Khan & BBQ Show - heard it is some fat bro with his shirt off. Don't know what they/he sounds like.
Bruce Springsteen - doesn't he come out with an album 4 old people every year. Read he piggy backed off Obama to 'sell more records.'
Guns N Roses - Gave away album with Dr. Pepper. 'waited s00 long 4 it.' -no1 I know. Do yall drink Diet Dr. Pepper or Dr. Pepper or Mr. Pibb?
Late of the Pier - don't know what they sound like. Acoustic or electro?
TV on the Radio - wrote a post about these bros. nvr listened to them. 'Am I a racist?'
Hercules and Love Affair - sometimes when a band is 'too highly regarded', I just kinda wait for 5 years to listen to the when no1 else does.
Bon Iver - is this a city/person/band? h8 band names like that.
Matt and Kim - Kinda weird when bands have 'a big year' but u don't know n e 1 who listens to them.
Radiohead - Did "In Rainbows" come out this year or in 2k4/2k14?
Bloc Party - They advertised on HIPSTER RUNOFF. Thanks, yall. My readers bought a lot of yalls albums
Hot Chip - they had an album, but they had a video where the guy was the Joker, and then Heath died and they got cursed
M.I.A. -didn't her hit song "I'm flying on Paper Planes, yall" come out in 2k6?
that new Deathcab album - do u surround urself with people who want 2 empathize with Deathcab? Do u feel like it's because u don't offer them enough emotionally?
Kate Bush - still trying 2 figure out difference between her and Kate Nash. I know 1 is electro and 1 is a piano cunt, I think.
Abe Vigoda - with a name that gimmicky, not gonna get my attention/time
Beirut - are they still 'popular'/'authentic'?
Crystal Stilts - only have enough room for 1 Crystal in my life [via castles]
Beach House - only really heard 1 song, but I think I will always like their first album the most and never think about how ‘all of their songs kinda sound the same.’
David Byrne and Brian Eno - sound like old dudes
Esau Mwamwaya - sounds a lil bit too tribal/Afrikaan
Times New Viking - h8 the font TIMES NEW ROMAN so probs won’t like this band
Wale - I don’t take music seriously when they gimmick the music memesphere so well. (h8 this seinfeld meme s00 much. not fair 2 Jerry.)
Girl Talk - didn’t ever listen 2 more than 5 minutes of FEED THE ANIMALS (miss u 2k7)
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - If some1 recommended this album 2 me, I would probably think it was from the 1960s because the name of the band sounds old.
The Hold Steady - sounds like an emo-ish band from the early 00s with a crappie yelling singer.
Los Campesinos! - h8 bands with punctuation + mexi names
Flying Lotus - didn’t they have a raunchy viral vid?
Atlas Sound - the name is too metaphorical to approach
Gang Gang Dance - I think I listened to their early stuff, but just have trouble listening to stuff that’s ‘too post-AnCo’
Santogold - only watched that 1 zany video of hers, but h8 albums that were created to be a mix of ‘cool’/'authentic’/crafted to be written about in laggard alt magazines
Kanye West - I listened to his first album but wish he’d realize that he is ‘just a meme’ and not an artist
Fuck Buttons – buy or sell: bands with curse words in their name
The Walkmen – I think their new stuff is probably ‘better’ and ‘well-written’, but I am not complex enough to appreciate it more than their old albums about ‘being an outsider’
Vivian Girls - Saw 1 of their vids. Think they are meme-able bc of the way they look + you get to write about a revivalist sound
Air France - Kinda weird how this band is name like the band AIR from the country FRANCE. unoriginal, yall.
Erykah Badu - A lot of people liked this album, but I just remember her as a Zany, free spirited black woman who is largely responsible for making Andre 3000 the zany black man that he is today.
Lil Wayne - only heard the songs on the radio. Remember when Michael Phelps won a bunch of gold medals while listening to him? Remember when Michael Phelps turned into a brobag?
No Age- Think I wrote a post about how I didn’t ‘get’ them.
Portishead - I like to guess what a band will sound like based on their name, and the name ‘Portishead’ gives me a bad feeling.
Fleet Foxes - I always meant to get around to listening to them since they were always popular on hypemachine, but just sounded a little bit like something that shitty blogs blog about, and I don’t want to align my personal brand with entry level blogs who have ‘dreams of getting recruited by P4k’
Born Ruffians - sound kinda like they have a fat singer
Jamie Lidell - h8 when u don’t know if it is a man or a woman/if they are ‘pop’ or ‘deep’ or something weirdo-y like Lykke Li
Justice - nvr listend to them, only blggd abt them to appeal to entry levelers
Little Boots – saw her on the youtube using zany instruments, playing them live. Still haven’t really dug in deep. The next FEIST?
Ricardo Villalobos – Reminds me of the name JOSE GONZALEZ or whatever the hell his name is. Don’t know what 2 expect.
MGMT - didn’t their album come out in 2k4?
T.I. - hopefully his next album is ‘more conceptual’ so he can be as successful as Lil Wayne
The Mae Shi - not sure what 2 expect from a band name like this.
PLZ feel free to explain what these bands are all about/what I should listen 2/ what ’sux’/what type of people listen to particular bands.
I just want 2 stay relevant and ‘in touch’ with ‘what’s goin on’ in the musicsphere.
I want to be ‘more tolerant’ in terms of ‘taste’ in 2k9.
What bands did u not listen 2 in 2k8?
What bands will u not listen 2 in 2k9?
What bands should I listen 2 from 2k7/2k8 in the current year, 2k9?
How do you represent the year “2010″ in 2k__ format?

late of the pier was definitely one of my favorite bands to emerge in ‘08.. Mishmash of prog rock/shoegaze/electro/afrobeat(among other generas), but their songs manage to maintain a cohesiveness and dance sensibility that really appeals to me.. Super production from Erol Alkan.. Already cant wait to hear more from these guys, a must hear!

Crls do you have unlimited $$ to download/buy music for your XMU gig? Are they sending you to SXSW? How will I know which AltBro you are cuz there r so many? Will you be the only Authentic one there having a meaningful experience and living within the music soundscape?
H8 Springsteen
H8 Rap
H8 Country
Disdain top 40
like some Pop
Barely Tolerate the Folk–ie shit on XMU
Need more Shoegazer, more electronica
FUCKING H8 Blitzen Trapper…….worse than Crosby Stills and Nash…..who thinks this is cool? Good Gawd!
Try to be tolerant, but it’s impossible because my taste is superior to inauthentic dudes.
H8 people that dig Madonna or crap like Cher. Get a fucking grip!
U must hate Yo La Tengo (Name too Mexicany…..even though they’re from Hoboken). How ’bout Cafe Tacuba? Too 1990’s?
Like Bon Iver, what I’ve heard. Chill music. Kind of like Iron and Wine.
Radiohead…..Only like their first album and In Rainbows. I must say, that album is sexy smooth…..good for a lot of things.
Like what I’ve heard of the Walkmen. May get the new album.
DeathCab….Way too overexposed and too popular. Tried to like them, Don’t, they suck.
Santogold…nice songs, but she’s really popular because she’s Indie and isn’t white. Kind of like no one dares criticize ObamaGawd.
MGMT…I like the line…”fuck with the stars” almost makes me want a tug, but they are over hyped and I get the feeling they think too much of themselves.
Kate Bush does have a nice voice, but so do a lot of artists.
On the whole, I agree with your picks. They’re very meaningful.

I’m sick of all these TOP 2k8 bands: Fleet Foxes, Tv On The Radio, Santogold, M83 (he’s good but this wasn’t his best album), Kings Of Leon (Why so Serious?) They were never really close to be good as bands like Arcade Fire. We need to ask quality.

carles, hercules and love affair is “authentic disco.” i thought this was your fav genre of 2k8. if i was so inclined i could probably dig up like ten different posts from the past twelve months where you’ve talked about how keen you are on “authentic disco.”
also, gang gang dance’s new album is amazing. atlas sound, too.

can i make a blipster list of stuff i H8′d on in 2K8?
The cool kids:For having the nerve to use a classic nas verse as a hook.
Gym class heroes: just cause you were in a DJ Kahled video, it doesnt mean your down(authentic)
M.I.A.: because hearing paper planes on the radio made me say”WTF? wasnt i listening to this 50 blog years ago?”
Kid Sister: cause i heard she had 2$hortt on a track…but it was just a loop:(
T-pain: for making me fall in love with your personal brand via overexposure.
T.I. : for going all posi-hop. I know you got arrested for having machine guns at your house, but your fans still like it when you rap about selling cocaine and shooting ppl and stuff.
Mickey factz: cause wearing super bright sneakers doesnt edify a meaninful personal brand when youre a rapper…it just makes you a sneaker fiend(unless youre a white kid from the burbs, then it makes you entry/lvl or an altbro)
Mickey factz: also, cuz you kinda suck.
HBO: R.I.P. The Wire/Snoop/Bodie
The Carter #3: Cuz black ppl know that The Carter #2 was way cooler.
Jay-Z: For Beefing with Oasis/for having a mini beef with kanye west over chris martin(was that 2k7?)/ for his verse on damn near every single he’s been featured on.
TVOTR: Dear science, return to sender.
Flosstradamus: cause white kids shouldnt need you to remix 3/6 mafia for them to know it’s tight.
Kill face: for looking like dmx
Remy ma: for being the first tight female m.c. in years, then turning around and shooting a bitch outside the club and going to jail for attemted 187
Concious rappers: face fucking facts! its impossible to make a tight ryhme with the word Obama in it.
Nas: for being one of the best rappers in the world but having the shittiest body of work./ for make body of work even shittier via “The N”/ because white liberal friends kept telling me how great nas was and how the loved the song “Sly Fox”
Remeber when nas used to rap about meaningful things like reading books and robbing people?
this list could be longer, but i think its long enough.

“mae shi” means “no problem” or “no big deal” in Mandarin. maybe the name comes from this?

never read your blog because i thought it sounded like some hipster pooped on a blog page. i’m glad i did because i basically had the same thoughts on all those bands. i don’t think you should really give two shits about being more tolerant because you know you’re gonna try to listen to that new band and think “i am going to turn this off and listen to something else instead”. that is my advice for you in 2k9

funny quip about MGMT
Reply
“sometimes when a band is ‘too highly regarded’, I just kinda wait for 5 years to listen to the when no1 else does.”
SOOOOOOOO FUCKIN TRUE. applies/applied for metronomy, late of the pier, bon iver, iron&wine, burial, klaxons, mgmt and the presets as well. listening to bloghaus remixes of those is/was acceptable though.
