Unofficial rough count. I'm sure there are a few mistakes.
9/8 Donnie Trumpet - Surf (Horn, Jazmo?,10GB, Opposite of Batman, Rummy, Stupid Sexy Flanders, bee bee, cokes, nicolas decaanter) 5 Shamir - Ratchet (Jim, pmo, No Age, garageland, stinkyfingers) 3 Thee Oh Sees - Mutilator Defeated at Last (Redman's Meth, monster, boner) 2 My Morning Jacket - The Waterfall (LD, Rebelbrand) 2 The Bad Plus - Joshua Redman (snowmanpj, Pops) 2 Hot Chip - Why Make Sense? (Rothic, trstvn) 2 Torres - Sprinter (Potent Potables, suriel) 1 Patrick Watson - Love Songs For Robots (jakicker) 1 Faith No More - Sol Invictus (Sang) 1 Mikal Cronin - MCIII (Dave) 1 Kamasi Washington - The Epic (Chasen)
Oops - I should've been more careful. My post was a tip of the hat to snowmanpj's list, it wasn't my own choice. Had I voted, The Bad Plus album would've been top three but my vote definitely would have gone to The Epic.
Considering you've found the need to respond to my threads as if you are threatened by me I offer you some peace my confused counterpart. May you find peace in your restless soul.
I know I've said it before but I greatly appreciate that I'm not the only one here that appreciates Giant Sand. I think this and Howe's last solo album are some of the strongest he has released in decades.

I actually did the Giant Sand discography after Heartbreak Pass came out. It totally ranks up there as a top 5, imo.
Two hours into the show, however, as Kozelek lurches back onstage for the encore, the theme takes a substantially nastier turn. First he names a British journalist who has, for reasons that are not entirely clear, annoyed him (full disclosure: that journalist is a friend and fellow Uncut writer. I would hope that my disgust at what Kozelek says is not materially affected by this, though he will doubtless beg to differ). Then he begins a spontaneous song about the writer – a woman – about how she “totally wants to fuck me” and how she should “get in line, bitch.” So this, for me, is the tipping point: the exact moment when borderline dubious ragging becomes straight-up offensive misogyny. Kozelek would inevitably excuse it as his much-vaunted “great sense of humour” and indeed once he’s finished the next songs – “I Can’t Live Without My Mother’s Love” and “Caroline”, about probably the two most important women in his life, ironically enough – he returns to the subject. He calls the writer “nice”, “sweet”, “cute”, as if that would make things better, and claims he was “just kidding”. He then sings the song again.

I hadn't read that - he is such an ass. Still like the album...
Yea, I definitely get separating the art from the artist. It is too fresh for me to check that album out at this point though...and I will definitely avoid him in a live setting.

I was at the Hopscotch show where he was an ass. The show itself is really good - he just needs to shut the quack up in between songs.
It's weird that In Colour probably would have been my #1 album of 2014 but it might not even be the best thing released this month.
Didn't you just post a couple weeks ago in the "top Albums" thread that it is far and away the best album of the year so far? What has surpassed it, especially from this month?
