have you guys heard the new fiona apple

[A Thousand Threads]

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

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.

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.

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.

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