Albums of 2012

4. Cory BrananMutt

Released 22/5/2012
I only got this for Christmas, but since I only apparently bought 4 albums in 2012 that were released in 2012, this is at number 4 in the list which seems kind of high for an album that I don’t think I’ve listened to enough to make a decision on how much I like it. On the other hand, 4th place is also last place. I dunno. I need to listen to it more.

3. Jesca HoopThe House That Jack Built

Released 25/6/2012
Mostly for that one song which is utterly sublime. The whole album is a well constructed work though.

2. Hooray For EarthTrue Loves

Released 27/2/2012
I really really like this album, although I didn’t think it was a 2012 album but then I realised it must be because I only went to see White Lies last year and I say Hooray For Earth supporting them. I think. Compared to how they were live (a bit ramshackle and possibly having a bad day), this is almost an entirely different band. But in a good way.

1. The Gaslight AnthemHandwritten

Released 24/7/2012
Oh man. This album. This album is one of those albums that I could listen to on repeat for days. It’s a beautifully cohesive album too – each song is in the right place, no song is out of place. I suppose since I still listen to CDs and tend to hear songs in the order that the band put them in (for whatever reason that they put them in that order), this is something that I notice. That first listen was phenomenal – when you don’t really know what to expect and you only know the titles for the songs and nothing about the sound or the words or how it’ll feel to listen to each one and then you listen to the whole album and it’s just incredibly pleasing, you know? That.

  • @anatsuno But it's AWESOME. And like… the direct ancestor of Inception. Those tumblr people are LAMESAUCE in reply to anatsuno ->
  • @anatsuno wow. I do not remember anything porny about it, but I've got the DVD somewhere – I should rewatch :D Is it shocking tho? I mean… in reply to anatsuno ->
  • @anatsuno …to me it's pretty standard, if a little brain-twisty, sci-fi. Are the shocked folks just not sci-fi people? in reply to anatsuno ->
  • @fuggirls Yes. I would alter it to fit ME. in reply to fuggirls ->
  • @anatsuno Heh oh yeah. I guess so – although (I've not seen it) doesn't Avatar (a film whose audience includes kids) have something similar? in reply to anatsuno ->
  • @anatsuno I really want to rewatch ExistenZ. Augh. I pretty much have no O_O reaction to body-horror, poss from a steady fiction diet of it in reply to anatsuno ->
  • @johnkrasinski @kieranmellish I second McAvoy in Macbeth – I went on V-Day & it was awesome. Macduff had me & the ladies near me in tears. in reply to johnkrasinski ->
  • Reading stuff to do with a production of The Man of Mode that I saw a few years ago, it occurs to me that Tom Hardy studied Latin at school ->
  • Although he makes it out like Latin is hard. It's only hard if you actually bother really getting the grammar rather than blagging it ->
  • @grrlinterrupted If you imagine that, but like waist-length? That was what my hair used to be like before I got it all cut off in reply to grrlinterrupted ->
  • @auntyel Did he make a rape joke to go with the boobs song? in reply to auntyel ->
  • @auntyel I think the problem is the Oscar producers thought it would be a good idea to have him do it. OTOH the Academy *is* like 75% male in reply to auntyel ->
  • @auntyel …so they probably thought they were catering to their members or something. in reply to auntyel ->
  • Listening to Stewart Lee's "What would Judas do?" Funny every time I hear it. ->
  • Which is good really, because the 3 CDs are just different performances of the same show ->
  • @auntyel I like his voice, but Family Guy is kind of in the same group as Big Bang Theory for me – not that funny and overhyped :/ in reply to auntyel ->
  • @auntyel hehe ideally, there would be a channel that was entirely repeats of Star Trek in all flavours. That would be amazing in reply to auntyel ->
