Pink Floyd Echoes + a little afternoon delight = good start to the weekend

On a Spiritualized kick today for some reason.

Been listening to Toxicity by SOAD

Forgot how much this album kicked ass.

A little proggy metal out of Fayetteville, though Seb (the singer/guitarist) is now at school up the art institute in KC (he does their killer artwork), so they may start gigging up there.

Going old school. Saw an article on Paul, reminded me of how much I love this album and song. A refresher for the old 'uns, a primer for the young 'uns.

Loving this release. The dark, minimalist beats alone are worth it, but are complimented nicely by the beauty of her voice.

KC's Night Moves

Soooo, I'm pretty stuck on this album. It's just goddamn good. I didn't know how I felt about the Reflektor single when it first dropped; but this whole album has so many kick-ass songs.

'Normal Person' is probably my favorite at the moment.

It's a close second to Funeral in their discography for me right now. I don't know though. The more I listen to this, the more I think it might be their best yet.

It hasn't grabbed me yet after 4 or so listens. I imagine it will, but currently it doesn't have that operatic feel that I loved so much about Funeral. I'll keep listening, though, as sometimes AF albums take a while to sink in.

Current favorite: "Here Comes the Night Time."

I've been through it about seven or eight times now. It will absolutely grab you at some point. I was driving back from Iowa last night and gave it another listen; because, like you it wasn't really grabbing me as much as I that an AF album should.

Something clicked last night though. I've listened to it three times since then.

Easily bolted ahead of Neon Bible and The Suburbs for me. It's just so damn eclectic and enjoyable to listen to.

Listened to the new Eminem cd and it went to the recycle bin after.

KC's Renouncer

Death Grips just dropped an EP from out of nowhere:

<iframe width="100%" height="450" scrolling="no" frameborder="no" src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/playlists/14545906"></iframe>

Maybe I'm just in the right mood, but this Death Grips album is less abrasive and more "listenable" than their others. Like I'm kind of nodding my head happily and not feeling the desire to go strangle someone.

This ****ing song... released like ages ago within the hype cycle of hip hop, just keeps grabbing me over and over again.

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/wQq5ZHUUpBU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

I'm gonna check this out tomorrow.

You get an appreciation for Reflektor, or is it still growing on you?

I've only listened to it 1 more time since last time. Been listening to way more electronic/ambient/chill because I'm in the midst of grading a shit ton of papers (I have a hard time with lyrics/singing while grading). I need a good road trip to break it out on.

I've been trending away from death metal for a while now. Leave it to a grindcore side project to reel me back to my one true love.

Welp, after 17 days I've been notified that my stolen Jeep has been recovered. It's sitting down in the city tow lot with no wheels and tires and a busted out steering column. I hope ol boy got enough to buy himself a hot shot of smack. Talk to me about it, Ice.

I don't know why I've slept on Lonerism by Tame Impala for over a year; but I'm finally getting into listening to it. And yeah, it's such a fun album. Goddamn, I enjoy it. I'm sure it would be a fantastic listen stoned, but I'm enjoying it sober all the same.

January haul:

Cave State 7" - SoCal PV dubbed as the future.
Jarhead Fertilizer/Purge split 7" - Avant-garde grindcore.
Gripe - In His Image 12" - Few things are more punk than breaking up before your first album drops. 2nd tier grindcore that likely won't get much play. Killer artwork though.
Tinnitus - Volume II 7" - D-beat Boston hardcore. $6.66 got me the 7", a back patch, a poster, and a button (hopefully some stickers). No brainer.
Draize 7" - Boston hardcore put out by the drummer from KC's Spine.
Fissure 7" - Soul soothing SoCal PV.

I'm spending the next couple of weekends updating my catalog to Discogs.

Another former student band. The artwork is just a bit Baizley influenced, heh. Artist (and bassist in this band) is actually at KC Art Institute studying currently. This album is actually really freaking good. I'm proud of these boys. Seems like just yesterday they were sitting around a table in my room at lunch playing Dungeons and Dragons. Hard to reconcile that image with the fully badass sludge they're producing now.

I'm sure most are already aware, but Schoolboy Q's new album is streaming free on iTunes Radio currently. Drops this week.

It's pretty damned good.

After a couple of listens, I still think that "Collard Greens" (which was released a while ago) is my favorite track:

This song and video are both pretty goddamn great.

Especially in the right state of mind.

Video intro is a little slow, but you get to stare at a hot Aussie chick some.

The first track from Agalloch's new album, The Serpent and the Sphere was recently released. I'm not disappointed because it's a shitty song (it's rather good), but because it seems too generic, as though put through a formulaic construction of previous Agalloch material.

Listening to Future's new album stream. "Move that Dope" has been in my rotation since the day it dropped. I'm not sure there's another song on this album that equals it, but the whole thing is pretty solid.

Listening to the new Swans album streaming over at NPR. It's just as awesome, unsettling, and terrifying as the Seer.

I was viewing the Goblin Shark thread while listening, and I had to check myself as I started disassociating.

Still listening to the new Swans album. For my money, it's infinitely more listenable than the Seer, which I appreciated but didn't find myself going back to over and over as it was exhausting and challenging.

The fact that this album is more listenable may be a knock against it, I don't know, but I'm enjoying the hell out of it.

Welp, here's what I'm not playing. Limited to 50 Genocide Pact. **** you USPS. Fortunately, I was able to cash in some scene points and have a replacement on it's way.

I'd forgotten they'd made some decent tunes.

I play Smooth Criminal for bumper music at high school games.
