Listening To...

  • The Internet - Ego Death. A fantastic alt-R&B/neo-soul record. So much funky, jazzy, loungey, slinky goodness going on in here. Mellow, but not sleepy.
    The Internet - Girl (Official Video) ft. KAYTRANADA

  • Brian Eno - Taking Tiger Mountain (By Strategy). It's his second record; and like he did with Here Come The Warm Jets, Eno pulls off the remarkable feat of making very experimental (for '74) music that's also very fun to listen to.
    Brian Eno - Burning Airlines Give You So Much More

  • TV On The Radio - Return To Cookie Mountain. Haven't been able to get into this. The potential is there: a experimental indie-rock core with some intriguing electronic and hip-hop elements. But it just doesn't click for me: leaves me cold. Also, there's a "woah-woah" chorus somewhere in there. And that is an automatic ten point deduction.

    I’m still on the “omg these remastered versions sound amazing” journey. The first Stone Roses album sounds incredible. It’s the thin end of the wedge and at this rate I’ll be replacing all my 80s CD rips. Amazon vouchers for Christmas please Santa.

    And I bought Adele’s 25 because she has mighty pipes and is a national treasure to boot.

        Is there a German compound word for admiration/repulsion? I have strangely mixed feelings about that level of fandom.
