hahahahaha that too. What fucking ever. He's a good rapper. I don't idolize him. I haven't bought his LP yet. I don't think he's hip hop's savior. But I do think he's talented, and enjoy several of his mixtapes along with the Young Money album. |

I cant remember every single track, but I remember picking it up and reading the tracklist, and the big bulk of song titles I recognized as owning on other albums. It's basically a compilation of shit from different indie albums and official mixtapes etc. It's put out by Cleopatra I believe -- who's well-known for repackaging shit over and over. |
My dad was on business in Nashville and stopped by the Third Man store, I had him pick these up for me:

giuseppe andrews discography
I now own every movie, cd, and book. |
I have seen Touch Me In The Morning and Period Piece... I now own 2 of his movies ON DVD-R!!!
|
TOUCH ME IN THE MORNING is one of my favorite movies ever. Just gets better and better with every viewing. Just something about it... a weird quality missing from his other works. Though he greatly expanded on many things throughout his career -- some wild philisophical films, some wildly experimental, some loose improvised ones, some severe grossout stuff.. he's been extremely inventive and interesting, and he has probably the single most important work of a filmmaker this side of Godard. 35 films in like 9 years, all of them unique and interesting.
But there was a 4 year gap between TOUCH and IN OUR GARDEN. And something happened in those 4 years. Nothing was ever as innocent and intelligent and thought provoking as TOUCH... he made that film at the same age I now am. I think it really speaks to me. The scene of him riding in the back of a truck.. amazing. |

![]() The album art instantly won me over, after much debating to buy this, the Thurston Moore remix sealed the deal. I really like this album maybe even more than Crystal Castles (I). Anyone who samples Stina Nordenstam is well worthy of my money. |

Television Personalities : A Memory Is Better than Nothing
The previous album was a cause of rage, a caricature of what Dan Treacy thought people liked in him, it was soooo bad, he had reached the bottom. I bought this one after listening to a song on his Myspace, and there are some fine songs there. Especially Funny He Never Married. But it can only be me. |
Just ordered this:

I mean no offense, but how come you buy mixtapes that the artists release for free legal download? |
I don't know, I just like having them I guess. I never pay more than $5.
Plus, I don't have my own computer, and my dad gets pissed when I download shit |

oh word. How do you get em so cheap? i'd buy more mixtapes if I found em cheap. But usually they're at Best Buy for $15. Pffft. |
Well in Houston there are actually alot of mixtape vendors, you can get them at gas stations, I like to support that kind of thing, just a real grass roots hip hop scene.
Also, there are some good websites, like nycmixmania. |
It's been a long night.
Lots of MF DOOM remixes, especially this one, which blows my mind. Getting into prime era Disco Inferno (which is super ace it turns out), especially: ![]() And now just finishing off: ![]() Good sounds indeed. |

without question my favorite Kool Keith album. And that's saying a lot. |
Indeed it is. I never heard this album, its hard to see myself picking this album over Dr. Octagonecologyst. I was thinking about buying Dr. Dooom 2 for next purchase. How's that album?
|
Dooom 2 is okay. Most people choose Oct cuz of the beats, but FIRST COME FIRST SERVE is just quintasential Keith lyrics.
"your fans are mad your performance is garbage bag" he's so ridiculously amazing on this album. Honestly, I've made so many Keith convert becuz of this one. Dudes that don't even like rap. Just becuz the shit he says is so like "wwwwwwwwhat???" like a diss is actually "your mixdown ain't right; you're fuckin' vocals are too low"...... who says that? Honestly. THink of every diss record you ever heard. Think of Jay on "The Takeover". That shit's amazing. But he didn't say ANYTHING like this. haha. amazing. and it's 20-something tracks like that. Ther'es a fucking diss track called "You Live At Home With Your Mom" and he uses a vocoder to do the voice of your mom, and she yells at you to 'pick up your room'. God. Honestly. Everyone sweats Octo. It's in my Top 10 Keith records, but there's far better albums once you understand him and how next-level he brings it. Shit you think makes no sense becomes AMAZING and suddenly Octo feels like nothing but my-first-Keith-record due to Auto's beats. |
I have longer/more in depth things to say about Kool Keith when it's not nearly 3AM and I don't have to be up in 5 hours, but for now I'll just say that No Chorus is indeed possibly the best diss track ever.
|
Agreed. "No Chorus" IS the best diss track ever.
|
I'll probably start/search out an existing (if one exists) thread on the Dooom once I've had time to actually digest it, having only listened to like one side so far, and only really knowing No Chorus, but, in the meantime, are you big into the Aceyalone NR? Because I've liked what I've heard for a while, but damn I've really slept on this guy. This album is just totally beyond sick!
|
got a goslings album the other day for $2. Insane deal.

well Freestyle Fellowship in general is interesting, but other than some stray singles, I never got too into Acey myself. I think there is a Kool Keith thread where I reviewed every single album all the way up until 2008/2009 or so. |
One thing I will say as an initial impression on the Dooom is that, ignoring Keith's raps (which are STUNNING), the beats are filthy. That's the only word I can really think of to convey them haha.
As to the Acey, I seriously recommend you put some time into properly absorbing all of All Balls, because I didn't hugely click with it at first either, but right now, he's sounding like one of the best MCs I've ever heard. I especially recommend 'Anywhere You Go' and 'Headaches & Woes'. It's stupidly great. Also, it perhaps embodies the whole 'jazz-rap' thing even more perfectly than the Freestyle Fellowship did, which is saying something. |
