About 200 of you guys participated in our annual readers poll, and the results were tight. You had the chance to vote for 5 albums, and I gave each album a point value, decreasing with each vote. So first place got 5 points, second place got 4, etc... The race was very close between Frank Ocean & Tame Impala, but in the end, Frank Ocean took home the Orange gold. All in all, the taste of you faithful bunch alligns quite well with mine, minus Mumford & Sons. In total, 252!! albums were voted for, which is insane. [...]
No podemos recibir este 2013 si es que no despedimos 2012 como se lo merece. Los últimos doce meses fueron excelentes para la música de varios estilos, con buenos regresos y sorprendentes apariciones. Para tratar de que no se nos escape nada, hemos organizado cuatro listas con distintas categorías: discos, remixes, canciones bailables y no bailables, que reflejan el consenso entre quienes hacemos esta página. Hoy vamos a empezar con las canciones no bailables. Quizás la categoría más amplia y más difícil, ya que muchos de nuestros discos favoritos tenían al menos tres o cuatro cada uno. Eso [...]
Thanks To Camilo for this great artwork. Looking back at 2012, there were plenty of albums that I loved. Was it the best year of music in recent memory? Maybe not, but it was a damn good year in its own right. There is a lot that we may look back on and remember well into the rest of the decade. This year I listed my Top 40 albums, as well as a few honorable mentions that were as close to making my list as they come. I didn't get to listen [...]
![Best of 2012: Non-Canadian Albums [TOP 12]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4699136_lg.jpg)
If you were wondering where the " Best of " list for Non-Canadian albums of 2012. Here it is. For now I am going to " Best of " list my Top 12 favorite albums that came out in 2012. It might be typical to who will be in the list but at least it will open up a the dialogue on who should or shouldn't be. So check it out! Hope you will agree or disagree 1. Dirty Projectors - Swing [...]
Favorite Songs of 2012: Part 2 (50-1) You will have to take these list rankings with a grain of salt, because although I tried my best to accurately arrange the tracks, I change it every time I listen to one of the songs. I also only included my favorite song from each artist, so there are no doubles (except for I think one person, but they were part of two different groups). A few songs are also technically from before 2012, but they all appear on albums or [...]
As has become tradition, we asked Knox Road writers to provide their Top Albums of 2012 and we got a potpourri of responses. Have a happy holiday season, and thanks for sticking with us for another year. * * * Adam 1. Frank Ocean - Channel Orange It's the cliche [...]
En este 2012, los Dirty Projectors me han pillado con el pie cambiado. Son un grupo al que le tengo una cierta manía, lo reconozco, en gran medida debida (que no justificada) a la sobreexposición de " Stillness Is The Move " en 2009. Supongo que, en el fondo, la culpa no es de ellos, sino de esa oleada que nos arrasó como un tsunami a partir del debut de los Vampire Weekend en 2008, que parecía que si no metías una kora (ahora estamos con el ukelele, otra cruz) en tu single llenapistas eras un apestado. Ni [...]
Here is the Best of 2012. Since it's 2012, why not make it a Top 12. I am counting down the Top 12 EPs that was released in 2012. It maybe a surprised when checking this Top 12 list that there is alot of Ottawa acts. Sorry if there is no description since I am swamped with various stuff happening in the month of December. Check it out! 1. Roberta Bondar - Roberta Bondar EP [ Review ] [...]
![Dirty Projectors – Offspring Are Blank [Music Video]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4669562_lg.jpg)
Since it's 12/12/12. Who knew Dirty Projector 's dropped their third music video in 2012. Offspring Are Blank is the beginning track from Swing Lo Magellan. I think in my opinion is the standout track on the album. Here is the music video. Looks like it's take from the short film "Hi Custodian". Makes me wonder if they filmed each song with a music video?
Win our top 31 albums of 2012 ! Read the original review Retreating from the mass populous into the woods, Dirty Projectors accumulated a sum of 40 songs, choosing a dozen that touch on love, anxiety, passion, and the increasingly changing world around us. Analyzing the state of the economy in " Gun Has No Trigger " , the tragic dystopian love story of "Just From Chevron" , and the heartbreaking beauty of the lullaby title track, Swing Lo Magellen [...]
Here it is. I know you'll hate it; I know you'll disagree, but that's not the point in making an arbitrary list. We here at ATH worked really hard to fit in the tastes of the four of us, and when we decided upon our Top 50, it really boied down to simple math. What albums did we love when they came out? Do we still enjoy spinning those records months later? If they're in the Top 50, then the asnwer is probably yes. I mean, our Top 2 records came out in January, and still play a vital part [...]
And just like that, we've arrived at the second part of my Top 25 Albums of 2012 . As I've said, I easily could have listed 50 releases, but I realized that half of those would have been albums that I only listen to when I'm in a particular mood. In other words, they're not immediately accessible, and that to me knocks them down a notch. So, if you're looking for 25 releases that you can immediately dive into and love, this is the place to be. Enjoy. [...]

I think it shows how adventurous their sound can be. From Gossamer [...]

![Playlist/Interview: Photogmusic LIVE on CHUO FM 89.1FM [November 5, 2012]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4599918_lg.jpg)
Today was an abbreviated show. That was because there was a fire drill that happened at the CHUO's University of Ottawa building. I managed to fit into the 30 minute show. I had a special guest in the show which was Blair Smith who is a photographer. She was there to talk about two upcoming events which are: S PAO Open House Nostalgica @ Le Petite Mort Gallery Check [...]
The DP's latest album, Swing Lo Magellan (Domino Records) Reviewed by Liz Maher exclusively for Stupefaction - thanks Liz!: “Poor Chesta,” David Longstreth incredulously pronounced at the opening of The Dirty Projector’s gig at Westchester’s newly refurbished Capitol Theater on 9/25/12. For a moment it flashed through my head that Longstreth was making a heartfelt reference to Linkin’ Park. But no, he was just in a state [...]
This week MAJOR LAZER released a striking new music video to accompany dance hit ‘Get Free’. The Grammy-nominated DJ/producer (as Diplo ) collaborated with director SoMe to create this feel-good, peaceable clip. SoMe directly captures the natural character of Jamaica and the dreamy island life. Filmed in Kingston, it weaves through time and space to share the free and easy lifestyle and party scene. Starting off with a cheeky nod to Husain Bolt (that lighting pose) and a cry [...]
Na Bitte orca en de samenwerking Mount Wittenberg orca (met Björk ) -twee albums die ik met plezier blijf herbeluisteren, en overigens niet hun eerste albums- verscheen dit jaar van Dirty Projectors een nieuw album, Swing lo Magellan . Het album begint bedrieglijk rustig in Offspring are blank , om in dat nummer al af en toe uit te [...]
