have you guys heard the new fiona apple

What about the new Fushitsusha?
I still haven't heard it.

Recently got the new White HIlls, which i think is not so good.

I like the new Wet Hair "Spill into Atmosphere".

Hip Hop is currently the most exciting genre of music again.

New amazing hip hop is new Death Grips (as stated above), new Ab-Soul, new El-P, new Killer Mike (my album of the year so far), Schoolboy Q, etc..

I'm actually planning on going to Rock the Bells.

I also like this album by Bodyguard "Slicia Gel".

I have been playing Dr. John's "Locked Up" in my car non-stop. It lives up to its hype.

On the weirder front, I really like this record "Sinews" by White Suns. Reminds me of the late 90s (which I was too young to appreciate) when there was little separating the styles of bands as disparate as Dillinger Escape Plan and Black Dice. Derek Monypeny's "Limerence" cassette is rather good too.

Facebook sent me an update about this, the first EP from a band I saw in 2011. Best?? I don't know, but it's much more professional than one would expect from a relatively minor, club circuit pacific northwest retro goth band. It actualy might be a bit too professional, in terms of its sound. Their live show was a lot ballsier.... but it's a good effort!

if you want to talk hip-hop it's clearly lil ugly mane's mista thug isolation for mixtape of the year and if you disagree you're wrong

if you want to talk hip-hop it's clearly the new fiona apple album for mixtape of the year and if you disagree you're wrong

true true

I dont know or care about your feeling on OFF! but their self titled record rocks too hard to ignore and has been played in my car non-stop.

Peaking Lights "Lucifer", like its predecessor, is one of those amazing albums to listen to when you are on opiates late at night/early in the morning and can't sleep so you just kind of day dream into the next morning dreading the thought of actually leaving your bed and suffering through the next tedious work day. It's more melodious than "936" though.

I like the new Liars.

Nice Face's "Horizon Fires" is pretty good.

Ty Segall made another pretty great record too "Slaughterhouse".

But in all honesty the only times I really listen to tunes these days are on my IPhone while working out, which is generally going to be hip hop or beats, and in my car, which is going to be Rock n Roll.

Totally agree!!!

Completely off topic here, but how is the iPhone for listening while working out? I'm uusing a Droidx2 at the moment and I find it difficult to listen comfortably while jogging.

I also like the OFF! and Ty Segall records and Liars are just killing it this year. WIXIW is great.

i like this one: http://www.kattengat.be/
kiss the anus of a black cat - weltuntergangsstimmung

the best album for 2012 by far:

new BOC finally?

http://www.factmag.com/2012/02/27/ne...um-on-the-way/

A few months ago it was officially confirmed by BOC themselves, although they didn't do more than just say "Yes." in response to a question on their Facebook page concerning that same news you posted.

Let's hope it's a return to form. They haven't done anything decent since Extraterrestrial Live as far as I'm concerned.

Some of my favs so far:

Burial- Kindred
Ty Segall & White Fence- Hair
Fiona Apple- The Idle Wheel
John Talabot- fIN
The Boats- Ballads of the Research Department
Robert Glasper- Black Radio
New Sigur Ros
Roomrunner- Super Vague
White Fence- Family Perfume Vol 1 and 2
Lone- Galaxy Garden
Joey Bada$$- 1999 mixtape
The new Killer Mike
Lapalux- When You're Gone
Big KRIT Mixtape
Greg Haines- Digressions
Ital- Have Mind
Ghostek- Easy Changes
The new James Blackshaw

really liked these.

Burial is probably my #1 favorite of the year so far

atm, mine is Control System by Ab-Soul. but that Burial EP is definitely up there.

That Ab-Soul album was pretty dope. I'm looking forward to Kendrick Lamar's release as well.

yeah i'm sure Kendrick's album will be great.

Have you heard the Joey Bada$$ mixtape 1999?? I've been diggin that.

Krar Collective: Ethiopia Super Krar

This is very traditional Ethiopian, but like all great tradional based music, it really lives and has great spirit! And what´s amazing on this album, that electric Krar on it reminds me guitar sounds and also melodies and riffs in some certain Beefheart pieces! On the other hand it´s not very suprising, because it´s known Beefheart took influences from African music.

Here´s one live piece (I haven´t found any from that album):

Ariel Pink's new one is pretty cool

the new swans album shits on everything that's ever been released

Channel Orange was a really impressive album. That one for sure.

Mission of burma: Unsound

Hungry Ghost: s/t

the Hand to Man Band: You Are Always On Our Minds

Mary Halvorson Quintet: Bending Bridges

Grass Widown: Internal Logic

Melvins Lite: Freak Puke

Moss Icon: Complete Discography

Just listened to and liked Ariel Pink, Purity Ring, Gary War and Frank Ocean.

Loved these 2

Quite a lot of people here will like Static Raw Power Kraut (demo) by Hisko Detria.

I'm thinking particularly of the people who like Thunderbolt Pagoda.

wait for my album, guys. it's going to come out in approximately a month.
i think you'll like it.

not on everything, but on most things.
its sick. love it.

Has anyone ever heard of Paul Simon? I guess you could call him a singer/songwriter, but he's more rhythmically interesting than most. Top-notch lyrics, too. He has a live album coming out. Consider supporting this young up and comer.

Simon and Garfunkel stuff is just great!!! I have now only sounds of silence-album from the sixties, but I have listened it a lot. But I have never been very excited about solo stuff of Simon. I think Graceland is one of too overrated albums of the world.
