***bjork and broken social scene and the magnetic fields

Pretty stoked for a Bjork record.

i'm most excited for her and the magnetic fields

2 1/2 hours of Magnetic Fields makes me pre-ejaculate

just thinking about the magnetic fields releasing a new album makes me pre-ejaculate

It's going to be a long fucking record. And normally those are tough to digest, but Magnetic Fields like we said makes us ejaculate, so I've put some time aside for a few thorough listens.

oh snaps, new HAIM? about damn time also The Roots!

I agree, the last Roots last album was awful. always hated their move to Jimmy Fallon's show too, because ...ATYSYC was so bad.

But now when I say that the fat, black, nerdy dude with the glasses and the afro who comes into Burger King looks like Questlove people actually know what I'm talking about.

Exactly, and that's a shame. The less we see a fat, black nerdy dude bang on drums the better off we are.

PC Worship - Buried Wish (February 24)

Still waiting for the delayed release of The Orb's Further Adventures 3LP+concert DVD set. The label released the show in both standard and HD for download as well as FLAC and v0 downloadables of the audio, but it'll be nice to have the finished package for my library. (The performance was way back in July of 2016).

But the greatest anticipated release of '17 is going to be the private issue of The Voyager Golden Record box set with a companion book. Ozma Records is producing the set in honor of the 40th anniversary of the Golden Record and has been emailing work-in-progress teasers to all who donated to the project as it moves along.

It was recently announced that Ozma had tracked down the source audio of the 118 images that were encoded in analog audio signals in the disc's grooves and that they will be offering them free for download on their website for those who wish to decode them on their own!

Grammy-winning audio engineer, Bernie Grundman is mastering the project with Timothy Ferris, the original producer of the Golden Record. The latest email included shots of Grundman cutting an acetate using a Scully record cutting lathe driven by the studio's own custom amplifier system.

The set will not be sold commercially. It is a gift item to those who pledged to their kickstarter campaign to produce the first "earthling edition" of this magnificent record. Of course, copies are going to circulate on eBay, likely for astronomical sums, but I'm just glad to be a small part of this historic project.

Duuuude. That is badass, I might have to get in on it.

The new Wiley album is out tomorrow.

Wiley who

big hype

Serious? :D

:( sorry

ewwwww

tbh i hope it's good though, but his last project will be hard to top especially considering how inconsistent he is. nonetheless, i'll be checking it out.

Didn't he cancel that?

Or is it back on?

I'm pretty sure he's not doing an album anymore after his last temper tantrum.

Nah he retired from his temper tantrum.

Right now it's just that new Lost Salt Blood Purges album I'm really looking forward to. Also did anyone else think the new Flaming Lips was a huge disappointment?

Edit: New Lil Ugly Mane and and NMH will be cool as well if they happen.

you just hate him cuz he's muslim

loser

I don't hate him. I like a few of his releases. the issue is he has the tendency to be corny af.

Do you find all conscious artists corny or just Lupe specifically and why?

Oh yeah and I guess the release date is 2/10 for Lupe Fiasco's Drogas Light

lupe in particular but it can definitely happen when you try too hard to be conscious and aren't all that smart. j.cole does the same thing. i think lupe is a talented rapper, he just has a tendency to follow up a few great bars with something that makes me roll my eyes and forget about all of the stuff before it.

Fair point.

.

There are unconscious artists? :confused:

Looking forward to a new Real Estate.

I know you are making a dad joke but...

Conscious:



"Unconscious":


See the difference.

Are you buying a house?

Welcome to the world of dad jokes. :)

We've been neighbors for years, dude. Who do you think keeps leaving flaming bags of dog crap on your doorstep?

Are you the one who keeps swiping my newspapers too?

Who reads?

Look I know you're too cheap to spring for toilet paper, but leaving them back on my step after you're done, well, that's just going a step too far, don't you think?

I woulda been anticipating it, too bad it's just a sham

Planning For Burial - Below the House, March 10

Now THIS I am excited for.
