What Are You Listening To?

MC Solaar - Cinquième As

my all-time favorite rap album.  if you speak french, you need to hear this album - the lyrics are incredible.  and for those who don't, i still think this album makes for a very compelling listen.  there's a song in spanish, depending which version you get.  the music is heavy on the funk and R&B with an occasional forray into world beat/ethno/etc.  it's really, really danceable.  opinion among the non-french-speakers i've shared this album with is pretty consistent: "no idea what he's saying, but his flow is contagious".

Frankie Bones - In the Zone (new 2011 vinyl only live dj mix on his soundcloud page)

You are definitely welcome.  I was sure at least a few people around here would appreciate it.

i came across this album at work. fuckin' dope album. might be a few years old but its still better than alot of other stuff i've heard in the recent years.

Catching up on recent Flaming Lips releases:









Overall, decent... that Gummy Fetus release has a pretty rad opening track.  Psyched to hear the Lightning Bolt collab, though!

dare i say . . . i enjoy it.  i've heard icp stuff before and this sounds like them but not at the same time.  perhaps it is just the simple stigma that jack white's name is attached, so somehow it sounds as something else.

wow

M83 - Hurry Up, We're Dreaming

fairly similar to his previous one, although it rocks a tad more (and the synths sound extra 80's-ish).  looking forward to the show.

[i am gay and i like cats]

don't bother

Boy this Purling Hiss album rules.  Most aptly named band since Comets on Fire???

I think one critic got it right when he called the new Wilco "dad rock" and the new Nick Lowe "grampa rock".

I hate to say it, but I may like the new Nick Lowe more than the new Wilco.
