Kool Keith & Real Bad Man - Serpent (2023)
Just pulled this out of my 2023 queue to “spin” for the first time. Heard a few tracks over the last few months when shuffling the queue, about time I dive in and now I’m halfway through – it’s really good. I’m not well-versed in Kool Keith, remember seeing Dr. Octagon in the CD racks in the 90s but don’t think what I heard appealed to him. I’ve heard him feature on other albums I like, and enjoyed his collab with L’Orange in 2015 (Time? Astonishing!) but that’s it. Don’t know who Real Bad Man is. But this is pretty great.

Another first, this one picked up on from a music league earlier this year. Finally getting around to it and it was great.
Weird. The thought of starting a “What are listening to” thread popped into my head yesterday. We haven’t had one around here for a hot minute.
Today I will be mostly listening to… Sun June - Bad Dream Jaguar
Just had a student dropping all kinds of band names…
The Verve, Slowdive, The Sundays and… The Cocteau Twins
…this is a unusually high level of 90’s indie for a mid western teenager. She also said she likes lying on her bed crying to The Cure & The Smiths.
Slapped on Heaven or Las Vegas to celebrate. ![]()
