I've been listening to alot of stuff lately, with a few specific ones really puttin the honey on my gumdrops. I realised that a few of these are not currently available or are out of print. So here is a list of stuff to keep your eyes peeled for.
Currently Not Available:
Mr. Beast - Mogwai
- This comes out on March 7th I believe, and this is already one of my favorites of theirs. Buy it, bitches.
El Producto - The Avelanches
-From what I've researched, this was an Australia-only Tour Ep that came out before SINCE I LEFT YOU. There is an mc on every song that kind of throws off a french-beastie-boy-type vibe. I guess that makes ssense, since they were touring with the Beasties when this was released. The Mc is just alright but there are some great beats. This is Out of print, so you will have to scour the net for this bitch.
To-be-titled Gnarls Barkley Album
-Group comprised of Hot-Producer-on-a-roll, Danger Mouse, and Cee-Lo. I only have about 6 songs from this but I enjoy them a good amount. A few of the tunes fall into the "not-for-me" catagory, but the others arepretty rad. My favorite is their cover of "Gone Daddy Gone" by the Violent Femmes. I read somewhere that the album is supposed to "drop" around Coachella time(April 29,30), during which, they will be performing at Coachella.
Chosen Lords- AFX
-AFX is one of Aphex Twin's many alias'. This is a Cd compilation of selected tracks from AFX's recent ANALORD LP series. Of course this shit is cool man. I think this comes out in mid-april.
Readily Available:
12 Songs - Neil Diamond
-If you want to confuse people, blast this shit.
Lonely Mountain - Mugison
-This guy is from Iceland. He has an album that just came out on Mike Patton's record label and he has another one on the way. This one is before those and is dudical as well.
Elephant Eyelash - WHY?
- Who are these ANTICON guys anyway? I'll admit it took me awhile to get into this one, as Why's voice is kind of obnoxious. But after a few "spins" I just cant get enough. I think this type of music should cause the invention of yet another sub-subculture called HIPpieSTER! Oh that already exists? Damn!
Akuma No Uta - Boris
-These guys are more rock'nroll than anyone. ANYONE! They have a new album coming out pretty soon called Pink. They just released an album with Merzbow a few months ago. They are probably the only band to be releasing albums on both Hydrahead and Southern Lord at the same time! BAAAADAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. I know someone that already has their new album, but they wont give it to me (nudge nudge). A quick note - The cover of this album is a recreation of the cover of Nick Drake's Bryter Lyter album. Except this one has a double-necked guitar as opposed to an accoustic guitar.
Now if you excuse me, I'm going to go "not get" TOOL while fucking bitches from a distance.
Ps. I got my hands on a few leaked tracks from the long-upcoming Guns N Roses album Chinese Democracy. They sound like Guns N Roses doing Guns N Roses.
