Da fuq?

Any particular reason?

I like them fine, but never considered them to be a group I wanted to listen to on a regular basis.

Do you agree with their influence in the history of hip hop though?

Of course.

I mean I don't care about influence (lI think it's a dumb thing to take into account for liking something ever) but damn I am just always floored when listening to them. And that's cool for me. I like being blown away listening to things. Don't really care if others disagree tbh

AM - Arctic Monkeys

Nothing new here, but this is still a pretty damn fine rock record. I admire the sound they created when Humbug was dropped and they've just built around it with "Suck it & See" and now "AM". Just another few years for another album, worth waiting.

Lana Del Rey - Born To Die

Oh Lana.

Das Racist - Relax

This group consists of three dank emcees rapping over some interesting beats. When I'm in the mood for this album, it packs quite a punch.

Adam Deitch and Borahm Lee join forces for Break Science. Dietch handles the drums while Borahm dj's off of his laptop while sometimes switching to keyboards and they end up creating some interesting danceable tracks. These guys have over 20 years of music experience producing music for many artists from Wyclef Jean and the Fugees, Raekwon and Gza to Lee Scratch Perry and John Scofield

Madlib is one of my favorite producers, and blue note is one of my favorite labels. Such an amazing combination.

Death Grips - Government Plates

This may be their best album to date.

^ Not on TMS's level for me right now, but easily their 2nd best.

Never really understood the appeal of death grips tbh. Might try their new one at some point but its not really high on my list.

anyway these guys can play <3

http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/_/...uthM83_480.jpg

been diggin this Dead Cities and Before the Dawn a lot recently. Great great stuff

IMO, Government Plates & Exmilitary > The Money Store & No Love Deep Web. I like the tribal element of Exmilitary and would say I like the new album just as much. I like The Money Store quite a bit, just not as much as everyone else.

You just echoed my own exact personal feelings about Death Grips and M83
<3

I'm gonna curl up with an old favorite:

I'm enjoying it but not nearly enough as their last two, better than Exmilitary though. What I'm really enjoying is this though --

Arcade Fire has officially made a Kid A. And it sounds fantastic. I prefer their second disk to their first though, by far.

I too am very happy with Reflektor at the moment.

Brotherhood of the Bomb - Techno Animal

Techno Animal, another project from Justin Broadrick with Kevin Martin, an experimental industrial hip-hop group from the 90s managed to do what Death Grips did 10 years before his time. They've released some other notable albums, Techno Animal Versus Reality, Radio Hades, and the more industrial based Ghosts as their debut. As much as I enjoy all their other releases, Brotherhood of the Bomb hit me like a truck. It's energetic, raw, creative, has a drone effect and uses whacky stylistic tunes it inflicts hypertension and groove at the same time. I'm not very well versed when it come's to reviewing music, mostly what I know is that I can't stomach much rap at a time. But this is a heavy album that is stomach worthy while it still leaves me with a hard feeling in my stomach.

"There are two ways to deal with the music on this record – You either react with your body or feel totally threatened by it.”

damn this **** is nice. Soothing ambient music for my typical sunday recharge

If you like that you should totally check out another collaboration those two did: Ice. The album Bad Blood is pretty great.

Gotta love Ice. I agree Bad Blood is definitely a great album and Under The Skin is pretty good too.

Matana Roberts - Coin Coin Chapter One: Gens de Couleur Libres

This 2011 album is one of the best modern free (not sure if actually free or if it just has similar syntax) jazz albums out there. Matana plays sax in a manner that you would imagine the lovechild of Ornette Coleman and Pharoah Sanders to sound, and she also sings phenomenally. At times she bursts into intense shrieking over sporadic melodies that send chills down my spine. This album has a lot of range, and it is definitely a unique listen for the invested jazz listener.

The Neighbourhood's album I Love You is legit the best I've heard. Favorite tracks are Alleyways, Afraid, and W.D.Y.W.F.M. Their sound is different and it's between alternative and indie I'd say but you can get a sense of R&B because of their hip hop background.

Isis - Panopticon
It's definitely not a new addition to my collection by any means, but over the course of the past few months I've deemed it necessary to listen to this album in its entirety at least once a day. It's still post-metal's greatest masterpiece IMO
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...Panopticon.jpg


Blue Hawaii - Untogether
synth pop? Future garage? Glitch pop? all of the above? I have no idea. Great album though.
http://www.soundstagedirect.com/medi...untogether.jpg


Russian Circles - Memorial
Keeping with my recent leanings toward post-metal, this was released earlier this month. A very--excuse the phrase, but it's appropriate-- epic sounding album. It's definitely growing on me more with each listen.

American Analog Set - Know by Heart
Classic indie pop/post-hardcore from Dallas. Every year or two I seem to return to this album.
http://indierockfan.net/images/18161f.jpg

A couple things I've been digging-

http://f0.bcbits.com/img/a1960454369_2.jpg
Sneaking Past Dogs - sneaking past dogs (2013)

Great band from my native state of Texas: they start off in a Faith No More vein musically, but bring in so many bizarre & ingenious nuances throughout the songs here that they're pretty much unclassifiable.

https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-E...52520Front.jpg
Fields Of The Nephilim - Mourning Sun (2005)

As much I enjoy the 80's/90's Nephilim classics, this particular album brings Carl McCoy's cinematic aspirations to a whole new level of immersion and craft. Think of the best material of, say, Dead Can Dance with an industrial bent and you'll have an idea of why this record absolutely kills.

Kendrick Lamar - Section.80

This is so incredibly close to being a perfect album. Inches away from being a truly magnificent masterpiece.

http://castthedice.org/wordpress/wp-...-k-300x300.jpg

Capitol K—Andean Dub
Cumbia made with the tools of IDM and dub. This is one of those albums that, as soon as it ends, I want to listen to it again. Really, really fantastic stuff. If you like electronic music and you like latin music, this is well worth a listen.

Here's one of my favorite songs from the album:

as long as you love me Backstreet Boys

Oneohtrix Point Never - R Plus Seven

Pretty good electonica album that touches on some unique textures. The songs on this album range from playful and other-worldy to melancholy ambient. I like most of the songs, but there are a few that I'm starting to skip after a few listens. While this one is great, his 2011 album "Replica" blows this release out of the water imo.

Ive always thought im missing something with Oneohtrix. They seem like something id like but ive never really loved anything theyve done. Agree that Replica is better than this years, but yea.. idk *shrug*

anywho im diggin

Steven Wilson - The Raven That Refused To Sing (And Other Stories)

^Thanks for posting that album - Interesting style.

Yann Tiersen - Skyline

Mellow sounds and varied layers sign the latest album of Yann Tiersen.

Tom Waits - Rain Dogs

What can I say about this album that hasn't already been said? I think it's safe to say that this is my favourite Waits record. Whenever I throw it on with the crew they never hesitate to remind me that I'm not that good of a singer :p:.

black and blue from Backstreet Boys
