I liked that ā1stā daily or weekly thread, but thatās closed now and anyway letās just have a rolling one. Might even just post any songs of the day here and not be fussed with having one every single day. Who cares. Whatās on your mind today or this week?
Britney Spears Blackout is a great album, by far her best. Feels like a really nice shot at the media in what were dark days for her, powerful stuff and Grade A Pop music.
Not sure what to make of this.
Iām sick for the 3rd day and probably wonāt listen to any music, just watch tv all day. Except for a short dog walk midday I guess. Itās hot as hell out there.
What an album. Operator operator operator operatorā¦
Been listening to loads of hip hop again because itās my ideal running music (good regular pace, find listening to the words a really helpful distraction) but Iād like to update my playlist a bit. Currently lots of Kendrick and K*nye, Tyler, Wu-Tang/Gza/Ghostface, Danny Brown, RTJā¦ Any recommendation for things I might like, even better if itās from the last 5 years?
Not sure how it would work for running but this is up there as one of the best Hip-Hop albums of the year so farā¦
Your Old Droog. YOD Wave is my favourite I think but not sure thatās the majority consensus.
RAP Ferreira - 5 to the Stars and Kool Keith - Serpent also very good.
Been enjoying blĆ³mi by Susanne SondfĆør over the last couple of days - thanks for the prompt in the April AOTM thread @bornin69x.
Tried it a few weeks back, but thereās a Bright Eyes esque effort to ward off the casual listener with the first track which worked on the first attempt. It turns out thereās a beautiful layered album beyond this though which Iām now enjoying getting to know. Gorgeous artwork too.
The run of songs in the middle - Fair Thee Well/Leikara LjĆ³d/Alyosha - is just stunning.
Agree that putting that long spoken word track at the start is certainly not calculated to attract the casual browser. Everything after that is great though.
Had a Denzel Curry binge this morning. Taboo and Unlocked might work well for you.
The last few Pusha T projects always work nicely on a run
This evening I have listened to the following albums;
Reuben - Racecar is Racecar Backwards
Million Dead - A Song To Ruin
&
Monster Magnet - Dopes To Infinity
Happy with those choices, enjoyed that!
All Hail the Bullgod!
Heard their set from the Great Escape on 6Music at the weekend. It sounded like there was a lot going on tbh tbfā¦
Just remembered this album and itās proving a great one to work to with the sun out
