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):

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.
