From what I saw online just in passing, people are refusing to count those two albums on grounds of featuring “too much r&b singing to be hip hop.”

Believe it or not, Miseducation was nominated under the R&B/soul category. Speakerboxxx/Love Below is the only album in history to ever win both best rap album and AOTY, and that one has an entire disc with almost no rap of any kind. Let's be honest, it's The Love Below that brought home the prize.
Essentially, unless you have a "real" musical talent (like singing) to sweeten the pot, your album doesn't have a prayer.
Cuntsssssss DJ Koze with a new album in May FUUUUCK yes. Amygdala is one of the very best electro records of the decade, maybe second only to Jon Hopkins' Immunity.
I am totally digging this new Hookworms album. If the members of Pink Floyd had been born 10 years later and discovered synthesizers instead of guitars, I imagine they would have sounded something like this.
However I made the mistake of trying to meet up with some friends pre The Internet,
?
But does it have confused bogans wondering why there's trains running through the middle
Yep, it also seems to be a lot less crowded and you can sit on the hill and watch during the calmer acts if there aren't too many people standing at the front. It's as good as the other two main stages are terrible.The interstate line is the one redeeming feature of that site.
And, I suppose, the River Stage is lovely of an evening. The other two main stages can go jump.
How does it compare to their previous albums? When I listened to the song a while back, the synths kind of put me off it.
But the main problem, and I think this explains Cobbler's reaction, is that it's hard to get a good sound mix for Slowdive at a festival.

It seriously all just sounded like noise. I'd like to see them at their own show.
The Magnetic Fields: 69 Love Songs. What an undertaking. I think it would be more accurate to call it 23 Love Songs and a shitload of fragments and sketches, but the thing is still consistently entertaining, and the standouts are really superb. Not sure how to rate it as a holistic piece, though.
