Comments on: Top 50 Albums of 2009 according to Das Klienicum! Top 50!! http://slowcoustic.com/2009/12/09/top-50-albums-of-2009-according-to-das-klienicum-top-50/ The unhurried side of music Tue, 07 Feb 2012 22:29:06 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: slowcoustic http://slowcoustic.com/2009/12/09/top-50-albums-of-2009-according-to-das-klienicum-top-50/comment-page-1/#comment-3526 slowcoustic Thu, 10 Dec 2009 19:51:04 +0000 http://slowcoustic.com/?p=3309#comment-3526 @DC - I think E. genuinely likes all this music and just that fact that it might be "indie safe" might be beside the point. I know E. does have quite an extensive listening range, but good music is still good music, and in the ear of the beholder. On the other hand, It is hard to say, I find myself in common circles and many lists lately do look very similar (don't get me started on the best of decade lists that can be cut and pasted around numerous blogs). It's kind of like a bunch of classic car enthusiasts sitting around saying "the older cars" are soo much better. Well the pool is going to contain many of the same vehicles (or artists) when talking cars (or indie music). That all being said, I always like a dark horse being introduced and often find myself leaning towards a lesser known artist even if another well known artist has an album that is just as pleasing to me...I like left field and a good surprise in a list is always appreciated... ;-) @DC – I think E. genuinely likes all this music and just that fact that it might be “indie safe” might be beside the point.

Quite, um, safe. I genuinely thought it would be more personal, more intriguing, more left field, rather than ticking off from the same list everyone else seems to be lazily referencing. Not that I'm saying E is lazy - fuck, no - I'm just saying I'm surprised it's not very diverse given the blog's variety. Does that make sense?

What a list.

Good catch Lee, I think you are correct...tsk, tsk.... I wonder how long it will take for "leaks" to count as a release as they are starting to leak earlier and earlier!
