I need to give some major props to the new Saffron Slum album released on Resting Bell. It is quite amazing. Not sure if it is as good as The White Tower, but it might be. It perfectly straddles the line between noise and ambient.



get lost in this 18-minute long sonic experience, Oneiric Sun, the final track on the album.

I absolutely cannot stop listening to the new Bran Van 3000. Those dudes are just so awesome.

Just discovered this beautiful ambient album, from Japanese artist Kiyomitsu Miyashita, yesterday. I'm totally digging it. Also, for future reference, I'm going to be working with him on an album this year.

I listened to OK Computer last night for the first time in probably 10 years. I did not like most of it. I used to love that album, but something about it just hasn't aged very well.

HINT: It's not the album that hasn't aged well.

The Bends is still their best. Now that thing still sounds amazing.

Wow, this is still my favorite of theirs and it hasn't grown old at all for me!

Is there a reason why we don't have a top 10 list for best albums first heard in a given year , or even a top 10 new releases of the year thread? I know this would spoil any surprises in Derek's end of the year shebang, but he doesn't have to participate.

I was thinking the same thing....start one.

Animal Collective, though awesome, is not great first date music.

[MacGuffin]

WOW! Why did you guys never tell me about the band Sparks?

They have a song about Tsui Hark!

[MacGuffin]

How is this band not more well-known? Each thing I find out about them is cooler than the last thing.

My relationship with radiohead has changed a lot over the years. Now, it's something like

1. Amnesiac
2. Kid A
3. The Bends
4. Hail To the Thief
5. In Rainbows
6. OK Computer
7. Pablo Honey

Hip hop between roughly 1987 and 2002 has a certain nostalgic quality. I find myself listening to it heavily for short periods and then putting it away again. But it's always fun to go back to.

15 years is a big span of time... But that kind of spans the life of artistic mainstream hip hop.

During those years sampling really started to come alive, beats were jazzy, and rhymes were creative and interesting.

no biggie or jay-z? smh

Ready to Die is decent, but Jay-z does nothing for me at all.
