I've had the advance since last fall and the actual album and advance are superb

Tell me: what does he do that NWA, Ice-T, Tupac, Ice Cube, Mobb Deep, Jay-Z, and dozens of others haven't done?

I'm really asking, because I suspect next month it will be some other "gangsta" cat on the come-up.

You must be confusing the Game with Slim Thug. Hater

And further more, I don't make a point to talk about other people's soft easy listening tastes, but there is always someone attacking a Hip Hop artist.

Tori Amos doesn't float my boat.

I didin't know Beck was making albums....still


I mean Can Hip Hop heads have a moment? There's always an old living in the 80's hater that has something to say. I mean maybe I should start talking about other people's candy ass tastes....but I DON'T

SMOOCHES!!! wink

Tough decision...

It is between

Spirit Music Jamia - Dance of the infidel (Universal France)



and

Eels - Blinking lights and other revelations (Vagrant)



Being closer to the Me'shell experience I am tempted to go with the first.

M.I.A. is good, but I didn't think it was the best album of this year. Sleater-Kinney makes my top 5 also.

Teena Marie's "La Dona" from 2004 and Jamiroquai's "A Funk Odyssey" from 2001. Before that, it would probably be the Quad City DJs' single "Come On Ride The Train" from 1996. lol

Damn, two new studio albums in the last five years??? You really don't like new music! lol

so, we're a fat six months into the year and have had our
fair share of new releases to sift through. and although
you might have a few favs at this point, I'm interested to
know what the ONE album is that sticks out above the rest
for you personally. so just 1 titel (well, try to anyway)

biggrin

Yes, it is indeed a very good album. At first I liked it a
lot but not to the point of becoming extatic over it. Then
I had it playing in my car real loud on dvd-r and I didn't
notice at first that a new album had started so I was just
listening and thinking "wow, this is absolutely amazing!".

hehe. since then I'm in love with it. What an excellent cd!
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

i can agree with decemberists and LCD soundsystem. nod

i wish i liked the gorillaz album more...which isn't to say i dislike it, but it just hasn't grabbed me around the neck like the first one did.

arcade fire - i wish i could feel the buzz. there are one or two songs i think are pretty, but i'm not getting the enthusiasm. i'll be seeing them at lollapalooza this weekend - maybe AF live will turn me around.

This still always confuses me. I could've sworn you started a thread singing their praises, hoping they caught on in indie circles.

Am I nuts?

I've said on another thread the same - MIA, for me, is by a long long way, the outstanding album of the year so far.

So i've put £25 on her winning the Mercury Music Prize (11-1, please come in. pray)

The Gorillaz album is good, certainly, but not exceptional. Same with Antony and the Johnsons.

ME?!?

nuh-uh. i might have started a post about bowie raving about them on bowienet last year, but i've never really raved about them myself.

i DID start a thread screaming about how good the decemberists are, and how if there were any justice in the world, they'd have arcade fire's success right now. and i stand by that statement - there's just too much delicious songwriting on 'picaresque' to be overlooked.
