Exceelent Music You've Heard Lately

[overkill94]

A couple slower tunes I've been digging lately:

[Mithrandir]

I'm curious if there is anyone around here who hasn't heard this yet? I ask b/c I just heard it for the first time a few days ago (on the local community radio station during a Latin show of all places), but apparently it's everywhere.

never heard it before. I know Adele is outrageously popular, but i never heard her before.

I guess someone hasn't been in a shop, bar, car (with radio on) or walked up a street in the last 6 months

I just really enjoyed Lucky's son Robert playing his bass in another thread.

Check it out.

Here is a very low budget but amusing cover of it

i'm a big fan of MGMT. good ****, maynard...

[Fresno Bob]

This is the Ferocious Few, a local SF band that sounds like Link Wray meets Stan Ridgeway

[johnnya24]

Thoughts on Lana Del Rey? I'm a big Throwing Muses / Kristen Hersh fan ... and I hear some serious influences here (along with Kate Bush, Cat Power ...).

Who's up for some Russian music? Russian Pagan metal! Yes, that is the girl singing the death growl.

johnny: I'll have to check out this lovely lady's album. I dig "video games" on first listen.

I've been into some pretty wildly different things these days. Top 3:

Tyler, The Creator - essentially, his album Goblin is shock rap. It's about killing women, or killing anybody really. I couldn't get into it many months back, but I'm loving it right now. This track is super chill, and I think the clips from City Of God fit really well:



Bruce Springsteen - I'm almost 29 years old and I've finally discovered the amazingness of the boss. Darkness On The Edge Of Town is a masterpiece. Perfection. Check out this old dude still bringing it:



Drake - I liked his last album, but didn't rush to give this one a listen. Just went through it today at work and I think it's pretty great. Like Kanye, he raps about drunk driving, which drives me nuts... but I guess it makes sense in the context of the album. In both cases, it's partially about being famous and being able to get away with anything, and also an easy metaphor for being out of control, drunk on success, etc etc etc... I just wish I didn't have to think about some of the idiots that it could possibly influence.

This isn't the catchiest song on the album, I just think it's really funny:

Video games is kinda Beatle-y in the chorus ... in a good way. edit: she has a real chameleon of a voice ... I was re-listening to both tracks again, and I couldn't hear the influences in the second song that I heard in the first.

If you like Darkness on the Edge Of Town, also check out The Promise, which is a double CD compilation (with DVD) of alternative takes and unreleased songs from the Darkness sessions. The version of Racing In The Street is brilliant.

The new Black Keys kicks ass.

Cheapest video ever? Brothers was one of my favorite records of last year.

Too funny, I heard this song for the first time today on my drive into work, and liked it a lot...
