This year I enjoyed the releases from Burial, Tall Ships, Mount Eerie, Errors, Hot Chip, Grimes, John Talabot and Fiona Apple.

The five you've picked aren't terrible tbh. Just nothing to gush home about, and all with a distinct box ticking vibe to them.

these are mostly turd. And certainly don't merit HURRAY EVERYONE'S A WINNER.

Cast my vote for XCom as well, then.

certainly the position you've given the series in the FPS constellation is a bit, shall we say, overbearing- they are a bunch of competent to mediocre shooters carried over the line by their decent multiplayer. The effusiveness of your praise wouldn't have anything to do with the prize you're able to give away this month, would it? ;)

Best game of 2012: Probably Skyrim. Solid return to form from Bethesda after the heavy disappointment of Oblivion. Beautiful and surprisingly thoughtful game, the drawbacks of which are as ever easy to mod away.

A for effort, anyway.

Just saying.

That it has two tracks as good as the Sun Smells Too Loud and Thank You Space Expert is all I ask.

That is very dangerous.

it really is beautiful beyond words.

it will be, y'know, more like Funeral and, y'know, less like Neon Bible.

this is a return to form. Their second album was crap.

I don't bother with most of your posts

Come Down and 13 Tales were a lot better

Their take on Plans was well good

Nothing really beats Ruckus Roboticus's Hunting for Witches

Wolves was so good.

Fold Your Hands

attitudes regarding music on the internet have already been formed. It's going to take a very well thought out and coordinated plan regarding the transfer of information on a world scale to change that. I don't think the government is capable of it.

The last one was really good.

may have to give this bint a listen.

a reaction picture to adequately describe my reaction to DiS Kaiser Chief themed for the week, but imagine a sick horse neighing through its teeth for the reaction audio

tee hee

good review

IT BURNS

He could've saved himself the bother and just written "Preferred their earlier stuff".

I could listen to Thank You Space Expert forever

I love you DiS.

are these guys still going?

Are you reaching for irony here?

has got a lovely sweater on

what a flashback.

1. Morning Bell off Amnesiac was well better, I can barely listen to the other one

2. AWITC was frigging dire. Of the two best songs off it, one contained the line "East London is a vampire", and the other was like a slightly better Snow Patrol. Think about that.

3. This sounds to me like an "eh" review to me. An album which'll sound good for about two weeks. I've heard Mercury, and it sounds "eh". Wake me up when they do another song like Positive Tension.

people voting Mystery Jets, Foals and Fuck Buttons- you're having a frigging banana.

Also, Frightened Rabbit, etc.

if she got both her poached eggs out then it might have been worth watching, but one tit on its own says "breastfed" or "lump examination" to me

and YOU are unappetising. That is all.

because the amount of energy it takes to purify and transport that ice cube renders the tiny temperaturee change you are effecting...

Oh. I see. A joke.

*guffaws*

*slaps thigh*

*slaps thigh*

Call on you or call on me
Like I used to
Slide down this sigh
And wrap you in stories
Tailored entirely for you

Brilliant.

I really hope

but still wish you would regulate your use of italics

several parts of my body would simultaneously explode if she did Temptation

my conviction that Open Season is really underrated.
