In fact I think that (admittedly quite awesome) cover art was made using the Paper by Fifty-three app for iOS 9.

Incredibly good, forgotten British post-punk from 1981...

Haha. Yeah. Hip hop is feeling a little retarded at the moment. I like Future well enough... at least I know he's capable of making good music... but there has been a LOT of mumbling about dumb shit in recent hip hop music.
Like... I don't know... Taking bitches to Chipotle? That's a Future line too. And j don't know what the fuck Young Thug is ever moaning about, but I can't bring myself to see the apparent "genius" behind his overtranquilzed word salad mush mouth lilt. |

To me, hip hop has felt retarded ever since the goddamn Chronic went multikawazillionplatinum and the outcome of GUM v. Warner fucked The Bomb Squad up. |
 Fear + Slow Dazzle + Helen Of Troy + a few stray tracks = what's not to LOVE! |
I don't much like listening to music with other people anymore. Not unless I'm at a show, and it's necessary. For me, music is a solitary and meditative experience. Music for me is best when what's playing in my car can transcend my mood, and either fire me up for something or get me in an agreeable state of mind.
I put on music for other people and they're like "wow, this is redundant (swans)" or "wow, this is distracting (sonic youth, Aphex twin)" or "really?? (Kanye). People tend to ruin things for me. I'm a crabby cunt. |

Are those actually Luke Bryant song lyrics? I've heard the motherfucker's name I guess, but I never in my life imagined that country could get any stupider than Travis Tritt and Garth Brooks.
Yuck, yo. Motherfucking yuck. |

I've been looking forward to it. I liked Visions quite a bit, and I expected this album to really deliver. But it feels downright voyeuristic to be listening to such unabashedly youthful pop music. This album sounds like a slightly weirder and more electronic version of Taylor Swift. Not what I was expecting. I think it's definitely good in an objective way. I'm sure people will mostly adore it. But it's like looking through a peephole to being 21, and I don't enjoy that feeling. |

You've caught on to that too huh? Yeah, I recently read a Flipboard article that asserted that the "old school" was threatening to kill hip hop. It was about how the current hip hop climate is the best ever, and nobody (not Joey Bada$$, not Underachievers) should be trying to bring New York or LA back. The author admitted to growing up post-Eminem, which means to me that he can't possibly know much about the old school of anything, but he had undying praise for Thug, comparing him to fucking David Byrne of all people (I think it was Byrne), saying that YT was reimagining the meaning and delivery of language by transcending rapping and moving into more of a space between words, which is somehow a good thing. But by all rights, the fucker should know even less about David Byrne than he does about Wu-Tang Clan. I'll try to find the article. It's well written but incredibly smug. I hate young smug writers. Hate em more when they can actually write. |

Never been farther south than DC. Not in the east anyway. I come from the dead opposite part of the country, so I'm worried that the sun would burn my skin. |
About the stuff discussed here I just read from somewhere when Finnish people came to USA as immigrant in sometime begin of the 20th century, klukluxklan blamed they were thieves and all the way just bad people and they didnīt want them. When knowing that it was really ridicilous that somebody threw "molotov coctail" into house of immigrants here in Finland this year and that guy had klukluxklan clothes.

In trying to look up this story (which I couldn't find) I came across this: Finns attack migrants http://uk.reuters.com/article/2015/0...0RP0T420150925 |
felt a sudden urge to listen to these two albums, which I hadn't heard in a long while
  that's Rivulets - We're Fucked Apart from that I've been heavily addicted to Nina Simone for the last couple of months. Bought a couple of her old albums and shit, basically all the boxsets at once that are on sale on amazon. This was after watching a Nick Cave documentary 20,000 Days on Earth in which he and Warren Ellis are raving about her almost continuously. |

I was really initially talking about the weather. I wasn't kidding about the heat. It scares me. I've been to, like, Texas and stuff... But it's dry there. Florida and Louisiana just seem like another planet to me. I feel like the humidity and heat would paralyze me, and that's I'd never be able to get out once I got in. One of my best friends just moved to Florida though, so I've been thinking about it a lot. I guess I was also referring to the ATL hip hop culture. I've never been much of a fan. But I actually wasn't talking about racism or anything. Sorry. I have spent time in places in Washington and Illinois and Michigan that have such a deeply embedded fear of color that I don't consider the South to be a peak location for racist attitudes. That shit is everywhere. No offense intended. Sorry for the misunderstanding |
