So do I need a BitTorrent client to download? I haven't used one of those in like 8 years. If so, is this really a better model than say, the Louis CK approach? I understand there are no file hosting costs. But still, I would think that is more than offset by the lost revenue due to technical barriers to entr...the fuck am I talking about? I should be listening to this album.
I could never really get into this guy's previous music or see what all the hype was about (guess I've just been overexposed on soft Indie falsetto guys). Gave this a try and track 1 kind of made me think my opinion wasn't going to change, but I found myself intrigued enough as it kept going to keep listening and then... HOLY FUCK... Very Best Friend has me grooving the fuck out!!
Yea, I thought of pointing that out as well, since it wasn't entirely clear in the post. Although I will say that while I definitely recognized it, I could not place the original song in my head when I was listening to the album the first time and had to google the lyrics because it was driving me crazy. Part of the genius of his version, for me at least, is the complete re-imagining of it.
"What about albums that we don’t hear until after the year they were released? I’ll use Blood Orange’s “Cupid Deluxe” as an example."
Happened to me with Courtney Barnett. That album will prob sound like spring 2014 for me for quite some time, even though it apparently came out last year.
I love these lists for discovering new music and playing my own little game of "Is it a Metal Band?". I think I went 10 for 10 this time. Still got it...
Also, what does "Art-damaged" mean?
Very few contenders in my eyes:
Future Islands - Seasons ... (I'd actually go with "Doves" personally, but that doesn't seem as popular)
Real Estate - Talking Backwards
I've liked a fair amount of music the past few months, but not much of it fits the "summer song" aesthetic. Then again maybe I'm just out of the loop on pop music lately. I somehow managed to go this far without hearing a word out of Iggy Azalea's mouth, and I see that I was not missing out.
I was initially put off by your gushing praise of the single since I personally thought it was cheesey in all the wrong ways and hopefully not an indicator of the upcoming album's style, but I'll admit that was a solid performance. I think it helped being divorced from that 80's over-the-top production. That said, I still can't see it fitting in a set with all the older stuff I love.
Hah, 3 down-votes for some harmless conjecture about an album I'm now very excited about? Harsh!
Plus, the appropriate response was "get your head out from those mags...."
Any reviews out of Panda Bear's set? I've just seen one from the Austin Chronicle. Curious what to expect next Saturday in Philly, aside from apparently all new material.
"So far, the knock on Luminous, at least among people who don’t like it, is that it’s too close in sound and substance to Luminous"
That's fair, I guess.
Pretty good. I can't tell if the dude in the Ray Bans gets it in the end and is just refusing to acknowledge it or not. The disguise is passable (i guess), but once that dude said "because I am Drake", it'd be pretty damn hard to still not get it. ha
James Blake is infinitely more talented than I am at electronic music production (and singing)... but I'm still pretty sure I could do better. You got the stems bruh? I'll give it a whirl...
Well I, for one, was looking at his name differently when I saw it in the media ever since that story. So, assuming there are tens of thousands of people out there who could say the same, it's entirely justifiable to say that it has significantly damaged his career. If he knows he didn't do it, and can prove that she is spreading such heinous lies about him for attention, I say go after her with everything you've got. And then give the proceeds to the people who rely on the general public to take accusations like this very seriously.
Thanks, not sure if someone changed the link above or what but it is now taking me to a different web-page, which auto-launches the correct page in iTunes. I guess it's the artist page as opposed to the album page that was showing before maybe. Thanks though.
Link keeps crashing Chrome for me. And in IE everything but two tracks are greyed out and I don't see a "stream whole album" button. Am I an idiot? Don't answer that...
Was definitely wondering the same thing. Trevor posted the song on Facebook along with this: "FYI: although there's no real sound in the vacuum of space, it's possible to translate the electromagnetic radiation fluctuations and charged particles of these celestial bodies into conventional sound. So now that you're no better of a person at all for knowing that, A collection of artists have come together to take audio recordings of planets that were gathered by the Voyager 1 & 2 space probes and manipulate these frequencies in music. This is my piece."
