Guess much from here don't listen to african stuff but mine from an african perspective

MI - MI2
Ice Prince - Everybody loves ice prince.
Snoop Lion - Doggy Style (a bit old but still hits the spot)
Eminem - Marshall mathers LP, The Eminem Show.

Still makes me laugh.

Alamo Race Track - Birds at Home (2003)
I've posted about this band before, but they still remain pretty unknown in the indie world. For shame! This, their debut, somehow sounds like the most mature of the bunch. I think they went through some lineup changes so the vocals differ on this and the second album, versus their third, which sounds a bit more Indie Folk. But I like them all for different reasons. Anyway back to this, a slow burner that I've been enjoying for a while and just seems to get better with each listen. If you're a fan of Built to Spill, earlier Modest Mouse (meaning not We Were Dead...), earlier The Shins, recent Arcade Fire, etc. do yourself a favor and get into this band.

Cerekloth - In the Midst of Life We Are In Death

I always listen to metal when I work out and I think this will be my workout album for this week. I don't like it too fast otherwise I tune out and start focusing on how much I hate doing cardio...same thing if it's too slow. This falls around just the right tempo (ie, my running pace). It's got the low end of doom metal but some of the technicality of death metal...all with some really great hooks. Recommended for sure.

HOT- Squirrel Nut Zippers (1997)

Personally, I find this to be the best Swing album ever and I'm glad I'm revisiting lately. I rank this in my top 10 albums ever and if you like to move your body or daydream and leave your body this album is perfect. It's fun and well put together, its slow and fast at the same time and there is a loooot going on here. It make me feel as though I'm transported to the 1940's and it captures that essence perfectly. It also interestingly enough has a tropical feel to it thanks to the ukulele. The album went platinum and for good reason it is perfect.

I recommend checking it out, you won't be disappointed.

Young Fathers - Tape Two (2013)

Experimental Hip-Hop group from Scotland. I really loved TAPE ONE but I think these guys have stepped it up another notch this time.

V/A Enjoy the Experience : Homemade Records 1958-2004

Double disc collection of US private press recordings. Most of the songs featured were on albums of which less than 200 copies were issued. A wide variety of genres & styles: psych, garage, jazz, folk, lounge, exotica, funk, soul, country. I'd love to hear the complete albums of many of the artists here- most of the funk & psych tracks sound like lost Holy Grails. Yeah, there are some weird tracks that I could do without such as the lounge style Elton John medley or the disc 2 closer "Ah Music" which sounds like it came off a Dr. Demento radio show. But overall a killer comp and I'm hoping for a volume 2.

The Microphones - The Glow Pt. 2

This is a good example of why I love sites like turntable and plug.dj - it's very likely I would never have heard this album had it not been for Pedestrian suggesting it to me after getting a sense of what I like to listen to (read: melancholic psych folk), and further, had it not been for my trust in her taste and recommendations after consistently enjoying the music she plays. Pitchfork apparently adored the shit out of this album back in 2001, and although the reviews on that site cause eyerolls so dramatic they hurt I have to agree with their glowing praise. It's a fucking great one.
