ty2failicide has a couple of kiss-ass net friends
Last LP I bought - Amnesiac by Radiohead. It's a major improvement over the squashed CD version and the third best Radiohead album in my opinion. (The Bends is my favorite.)

Pardon me if I already mentioned this, but I bought KONE's Yellowstone a couple weeks ago, and it's holding up well.

Grimes - Art Angels (felt like a pedo while listening though... Like a straight fuckin' pedo. Like a creepy old man looking at Japanese school girl bukake porn.

Autechre - AE LIVE (MP3) Way more in my element here.

Rustie - EVENIFUDONTBELIEVE this feels a bit young blooded for me too, but at least it's based in rave music that dates back to my teen years. It's a bit hard to listen to this type of bright maximalism at this point in my life. Like Art Angels, it feels like it was meant for a younger audience, and no matter how much I respect or enjoy the music, I can't help but feel like a fraud when I listen to it.

Now, Rustie's always had a maximal approach. Glass Swords and Green Language were both laced with ecstatic booming beats, but this one feels more like Hurry Up We're Dreaming-era M83... One of those sprawling anthemic statements that asks nothing of its audience but to listen, dance and not worry about tomorrow.

My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy is much more maximalism at my speed. In fact, that record probably wouldn't make a whole lot of sense to a drugged out 21 year old. I'd like to hear an electronic record that blends the maximal approach and world weary relatability in the same way MBDTF did.

Ha, I have been streaming it this morning. About halfway through as I stumbled upon this comment, and it's truly amusing how accurately it sums up the experience I am feeling right now...

Thank you! I am so glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. It's an extremely odd sensation. I am not THAT fucking old, but Art Angels is very clearly not aimed at music addicts of all ages. Listening to it gives me a very unpleasantly perverse, voyeuristic feeling, like I'm looking through a peephole.

If for no other reason than that, the album is a failure to me. I can tell it's good. It may even be great... but it's geared toward a very specific audience. Post-millennial college girls and their BFF boy counterparts who don't yet realize that they're never going to hit that, but will certainly revisit Art Angels in solitude when they discover that this is the case.

I've been there! Only with me it was shit like Belle & Sebastian's Tigermilk.

I don't have this problem when I listen to Beyonce, though. She's basically my age, which probably helps, but her music is vastly more universal, and she makes a point to shout out to "tha thirty/forty/fifty-somethin's" in addition to the twenty-somethings.

Rhianna doesn't give me this icky feeling either. So, why Grimes? Why?

This is a bit off topic, but this reminds me of a strange experience I had at work the other day. I was covering a community Thanksgiving event, and the queen of a local beauty pageant was there, wearing her weird crown and waving to people at the door.

She was all made up and wearing a nice dress and from a distance she looked mature and comfortable, like someone I would be able to converse with pretty easily. But when I approached her to get a quote and snap some pictures, I saw she was nervous as hell.
Turns out, she was a high school junior.
Her lips quivered when she answered my questions, and it was immediately obvious that she was terrified. I felt extremely uneasy and damned my editor for not sending me out with a female reporter.

Asking her if I could take her picture felt downright dangerous.

This is how I feel about Art Angels. The cover art and my prior experience with Grimes had me thinking it would be in my wheelhouse, so to speak. But after a couple tracks I felt like I was trolling a high school prom with GHB in my pocket.

I'm really digging the Velvet Underground's Complete Matrix Tapes. What a baller release! Loving the hell out of it.

I've heard a few people complain about the quality still, but to me, apart from being a bit quiet in places, it sounds pretty goddamn good.

Three years waiting, picked one up at the Bug vs Earth gig this Friday (will eventually show up in Bootleg live show thread), so happy to have heavy drone arrangements of the old ballads. This presses so many of my buttons.

so I got Madvillain - Madvillainy(love this fucking record!!!).
Miles Davis - On the Corner
saw The Velvets -Loaded but, I had to finish shopping.

Yeah, Barnes sells vinyl now. In a very deliberate move to boost music sales, they pretty much ditched their cd section and replaced it with a vinyl section instead of just getting rid of it, which was the original plan. Seems strange to me, since most of the B&N's I've been to have basically just crammed vinyl into the same space that used to hold their CDs, meaning... There's not a hell of a lot of vinyl.

anyone else love that part in Sister Ray where Reeds voice and Cale's organ meets up and syncs together in tones/notes? it's such a badass classic moment for a split second. when I first heard it it blew my mind. that's the magic of Sister Ray.

Couldn't agree more. It's my favorite Velvets record too, and Sister Ray is very obviously the most powerful thing the band ever recorded. It's like a monsoon. I doubt I will ever tire of that song.

Hard to say which is my favourite, White Light or V.U. & Nico. Both are one of the greatest albums in the world!

For me it's been White Light since the first time I heard it. Which was... fuck... a really fuckin-ass long time ago.

What put the album over the edge for me was "The Gift", which was just so goddamn droney and cheeky and dark, but still grooved like a motherfucker.

A perfect album.
