Marc Houle - Undercover

So I downloaded this based on the great cover. It's not awful, but it didn't do much for me either. It's pretty much run of the mill techno if you ask me.


2NE1 - 2NE1 (The First Mini Album)

I'm gonna just put this out there: I love this. It is catchy as hell, and while I've barely just dipped my toe into the pool that is k-pop, this is my favorite so far.

Taj Mahal - Natch'l Blues
The blues are pretty much a dead genre, IMO. There are only a few albums that I can still listen to. This one is right at the top of the pile. Perfect.

Basically been this-something else-this-something else-this-something else for awhile now

i listen to a lot of garbage but this band is wholly unlistenable. they should be stopped.

on that note - this pm:

kieran hebden/steve reid - nyc
swervedriver - raise
gram + fallen angels 7" - love hurts (from RSD 2011)

Erykah Badu: World Wide Underground

Personally, I consider this one of Badu's best and a too often overlooked and underrated gem. After mama's Gun, Badu released this one as an EP, despite it being plenty long enough to be considered a full length. Still, it was a different track from the more conceptual albums like Baduzium and Mama's Gun that she had released before. This one is a lot more light and breezy, just good laid back hip hop inflected soul grooves.

RIYL: early Replacements, SST, Dinosaur Jr (w/out J.'s guitar)

This sounds cool. I might check it out. Thanks for the heads-up.

Record is kind of all over the place. They sound like a different band all together on a few tracks. After first listen, it's something I'll go back to

The Men are pretty great.

Still deciding just how much I like the new album, but I know I like it. Especially the first couple of songs.

I'll keep listening. Thanks.

RE: The Men. I like the new one more than the previous one.

Terry Malts is probably going in my AOTY for now.

I don't get why anyone likes Nite Jewel. It just sounds like boring mid-90's R&B.
