i have a new sound system now. my previous speakers were treble shit. so it sounds good.:)

i'm wondering how his next album will sound like. do you think he's gonna pull another 180? maybe another Yeezus except with more soul and jazz elements and preferably better, deeper lyrics.. though knowing it's Kanye i'll love it regardless.

lol me and my drunk Kanye ramblings. i'm glad you've seen the light.

For some reason "Jenny" really fucked me up emotionally earlier, like existentially. It turns out I still have deep rooted feelings for a woman I loved years ago, and I hadn't fully realized this until quite recently, meanwhile there is nothing to do about it then trip out on the mystery of the heart and its capacity to feel beyond logic, reason, or indeed the passing of time.

good. Not as immediate as the first album. A lot of slower stuff. But more experimental. Feels like a slow burner. Check it out.

East of the River Jordan is one of the most superb records ever.. Folks will never fully appreciate just how much Studio One roots reggae influenced world music..

Also this is one of the best albums of the year and I've been playing the shit out of it:

Actually.. Maybe you can help me answer a question that's been dogging me for a while now. I read the following story about them not long ago, and it sounds like it's a bit of bullshit, but I am not familiar enough with the band to know, having only started listening after Birdland:

Quote:

The Pink Noise became one of the best bands in the world in a single night last spring. After a week of practice in Detroit the members drove down to their debut in New York City, Gotham city, the big she-bang, only to walk onstage to instruments they couldnt play and songs they couldnt remember. After antagonizing the crowd for five minutes or so, the purposefully bad set was abruptly ended by a 300-pound bouncer, who proceeded to toss them out of the door. Nobody, including the label-heads in New York who beg to release The Pink Noises music, has heard from them since. Luckily the Alpha record was finished before this fiasco. It is the work of sinister pop scientists running on all cylinders, cramming multiple organs into a single cadaver only to reveal a skeleton for each song. Mixing influences from across the pond (theyd fit in with late-70s Manchester) and across the continent (Northern Cali pioneers such as Chrome and Minimal Man come to mind) with a primitive aura rarely adopted to this style, Alpha gets high scores in every category, its urgency and immediacy unparalleled in the land of limp keyboard amateurs."

This has got to be some bullshit, right? I don't know.

Really fucking good band, though.

I've been really enjoying the triple threat of Live recordings that have been released this year. Definitely a fan.

What do the the Pixies sound like? They're one of those bands I don't think I've ever heard.
