Covered almost just about every genre today, plan to do the same tomorrow. More hip-hop. I gave Kissland a first time listen today, quite confused at how much I enjoyed it. Maybe if I weren't such a stubborn prick, I wouldn't pass off good albums on the daily.

The record captures a mid-80's Michael Jackson vibe, but if MJ was in an addled dreamlike state of woozy consciousness.

Machine you have homework.

Alright I'll give it a listen when I can!

Chandos - Rats in Your Bed (2015)
This was a bit different from what I expected, essentially post-hardcore with guitar tones similar to some screamo and metalcore. But the vocals are more in the post-hardcore/indie vein. I'll have to listen again using headphones to see what I think of it.

The Long Winters - When I Pretend to Fall (2003)
Seattle band I'm just now getting around to listening to. Pretty good stuff, perhaps similar to Blitzen Trapper. Chris Walla of Death Cab For Cutie seems to have been on their first two albums, including this one. I liked it, a few great songs but also a couple not so good...that may grow on me.

Vision Fortune - Country Music (2015)
Interesting experimental rock album that reminded me of Gum Takes Tooth due to the percussion and bass guitar sound, with vocals acting as another instrument. Different sound from them, but similar space I guess. Reminded of Liars as well.

The one's asterisks I've never listened too until today, and I must say the Dean Blunt record is fantastic! as well as the Adult Jazz album and the Spectres record. Warming up still to Ex Hex and Wildbirds & Peacedrums. Tomorrow (which is today, technically) I plan on listening to The Bug's first record, Beyoncé's s/t album, Wild Flag's first and only record, and Natalie Prass's debut album.

I hope you enjoy it. I loved it.

Also, how the **** do you guys manage to listen to so much music in a day? I'm lucky if I get 4/5 albums in, and usually most of those are for review. Mind you, I do write a lot, having now ten journals, so I guess there's that. Even so, considering I'm at home all the time, you'd think I'd manage more but I really struggle...

Amazing talent coming out of Minneapolis, really feeling his up to date R&B sound.

Yeah, it's my second favorite Igorrr album after Nostril. Have you checked out Whourkr too? All three of those albums are on par with his Igorrr stuff.

well gave her a listen and cant say it met my expectations. I get the GTT comparison, but it just wasn't as interesting. might give it another listen at some point, we shall see.

now im onto this thing:

Scar Sighted by Leviathan

Leviathan have given me some of the best black metal releases ive ever heard, and while I tend to think his compilations, demos and splits are better than studio albums (which is not a knock either), im always down to hear more from him. Plus I dug the track he released earlier. so far its really really good. long live the king

Listened to quite a few in the past weeks, including some of the ****load of (mostly) new albums that someone sent me. Holy **** that's a lot of music. After exposing myself to so much new stuff I listened to old favourites like Syd Barrett, This Heat's discography, PiL, and my new album. I've also been listening to rostasi's experimental music that uses mine as a source material. They're both pretty crazy. innerspaceboy and Mondo would enjoy those, probably Ninetales as well.

Here's some albums I recently got:
Gang of Four – What Happens Next
Wadada Leo Smith & Bill Laswell – The Stone: Akashic Meditation
Bill Laswell, David Chaim Smith, John Zorn – The Dream Membrane
Kevin Drumm – Everything’s Going along as Usual and Then All **** Breaks Loose
Carter Tutti – Carter Tutti Plays Chris and Cosey
Wooley/Rempis/Niggenkemper/Corsano – From Wolves To Whales
Zanussi 5 – Live in Coimbra
Liturgy – The Ark Work
Tsembla – Terror & Healing
Hey Colossus – In Black & Gold
Melodic Artet (Brackeen/Abdullah/Parker/Blank/Wate)
Wadada Leo Smith - Great Lakes Suite
Tesla Coil - GV
Buckethead - Night Of The Snowmole
Saturnalia Temple - To the Other
Deadstar Assembly – Blame It On The Devil

Didn't listen to it all yet, mostly just chilled while I had that lot and more on shuffle. I remember really digging it though.

And the thundercrook links are links to the songs, you don't need to download it.
