RE: Music
I like some of Das Racist's stuff, but I can see why people would dislike them

My favorite recent hip-hop acts are probably El-P and Killer Mike:

I don't know as much about hip-hop as I'd like to, though, honestly

And yeah I agree that Pitchfork is probably responsible for the proliferation of a lot of overrated stuff

I like Digable Planets a lot

if there's one thing that can unite everyone in this thread it is undoubtedly a love of digable planets

RE: Music
I thought the Get Lucky/Le Freak/Another Star medley was cool, though Stevie is sounding a little rough these days.

Also Daft Hug is heartwarming

To be honest I don't know enough about drum machines to get excited about the AIRA, though it has generated quite a bit of hype

Dang, that first song is amazing.

PL posted this on his tumblr and i was not aware of it's existence

It's quite enjoyable, but it's apparently not in-game. Absolutely hate it when good songs go unused on vgs Raaaaage

Prepare for maximum-overrustle/eargasm then; it happens often.

I like Brazillian stuff a lot!

To be honest though what I'm really digging is that first Krapulax (what a name) track


In other news a bunch of George Duke's 70s albums are on Spotify now wooooooooooooooo

RE: Music
I'd heard of Kavinsky from the Drive soundtrack, but I'd never really listened to his stuff before. I like it! And you're right, he definitely has a more distinctive melodic style than Todd Terje.

I've been getting into Kate Bush lately. Hounds of Love is a great album:

Like Bjork, I didn't really like her voice at first but it's grown on me

RE: Music
Kate Bush is one of my favorite artists, even though I only managed to discover she existed a couple short years ago. Listening to her stuff never gets old.

Fun fact: the machine in the Cloudbusting video was designed by H.R. Giger

I think it's cool that Kate Bush was so involved in every aspect of her music (writing, production, music videos and live stage direction, etc.). And that she stood up to a major label at age nineteen. I'm almost 21 and what the hell have I done Melonspa

edit: she was also apparently the first female artist to have a self-written #1 Billboard hit, which I didn't know!

For one day only, De La Soul is giving their entire back catalog (minus The Grind Date) away for free.

So Squarepusher's doing a weird new project with a guitar-playing robot:

Show Content

Not sure if I like it or not. I feel like the best parts are parts that he could've played on physical instruments - the "impossible" breakdown in the middle is just self-indulgent.

Still, it's an interesting project, and I'm curious for the album. Squarepusher's output might be uneven but you can't criticize the dude for being repetitive or unadventurous.

I like all those, especially that Belgian (?!) track!

In unrelated news the new St. Vincent is excellent

I've realised that the wiggles songs I heard when I was six probably explain why I recognised morningtown ride 13 years later without being able to figure out why
