In honor of PFan and his inability to produce the much sought-after meme history.
So am I like the only person on here who likes Transatlanticism?
The end-of-year thread is always great.
I like pretty much every song by them I've ever heard (besides "Follow You Into the Dark:...what an awful song).
Oh man, I forgot about that jaunt. I'm on break, I may have a little time to carve some of that out.In honor of PFan and his inability to produce the much sought-after meme history.

I was just kind of amused by the fact that none of you mentioned it as a favorite, I guess.
I absolutely love that album. 100%, every song.
Unfortunately, it's the only album of theirs I have heard. Not really sure why. I like pretty much every song by them I've ever heard (besides "Follow You Into the Dark:...what an awful song).
And who gave you permission to abbreviate "Random Music Thread" to "RMT"??

Someone boxed up the fucking Disintegration Loops by Matthew Basinki and Pitchfork gave it a 10. I've got nothing against drone, but that has to be the most impossible box set of all time to listen through in one sitting, and it's only got like four albums in it.
Here's why. Please take a couple of minutes to educate yourself:
LemonMelon said:It's been said that box sets are tombstones, but this one feels like a living and breathing thing. And there's an irony in that too. The obvious observation about The Disintegration Loops is that it's about death, but of course, life gives death meaning. A couple of days ago I was listening to "Dlp 4" while riding the subway to work. For the track's early half, I was gripped by the sublime beauty of the repeating music and I was lost in my own world completely. But then as it started to break apart and silence took over I started to become aware of what was around me. I could hear the engines, the rattle of the tracks, and the voices of people in the subway car. The music had me thinking about the biggest questions-- why we are here and how we exist and what it all means. And then as the last crackle faded and the music was no more, I took in my surroundings and looked around at the faces and I was right there with everybody and we were alive.
I probably hate it, though.
