mixtape is worth copping? i'm with it

there is WAY too much ryan tedder on that tracklist for me to feel comfortable

so far I'm only interested in dawn

yeah it's great - some excellent beats, she's very charismatic, you wouldn't be able to tell ryan tedder was on it. only given it one cursory listen cuz am on double deadline and have to listen to other stuff today :(

Looking forward to this, but much further to the outskirts of the media ecosystem than you, Lex - keen to hear yr thoughts.

media ecosystem?

oh wait as in PR and shiz? lol, i haven't been PRed any of this, i hear about it through following dawn on tumblr and kalenna on twitter exclusively
i'm about to listen to the Kalenna in a bit, but I'm LOVING the new Dawn song. Much much better than #SMFU and December Sky:

^^ a jam
man, this new dawn shit is too dope

was the kalenna mixtape any good? i couldn't get a copy that would open on my computer, for whatever reason
― illuminati girl (J0rdan S.), Wednesday, 22 February 2012 06:56 (twelve years ago) link
it's excellent - dawn's is prob better but "matte black truck", "pain & alcohol", "love rock", "ladder" and "put it in a bag" in particular are stunning
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 22 February 2012 11:50 (twelve years ago) link
although setting dawn and kalenna against each other is probably unhelpful, they're superficially similar but actually quite different
i think my review should go up on fact at some point

I like the kalenna mixtape well enough but I am on #teamdawn xp

i love how kalenna responds to getting dumped by drink-driving and blasting wu-tang on not one but two separate songs
driving in the rain with the music loudcup out the window, swag on kanyegoing the wrong way, listening to wu-tangcuz i'm feeling like a white girl on cocainetook three vicodin, i feel strangepushing 100, hitting curves in the rainyou shouldn't drive drunk with love on the brain
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 22 February 2012 15:41 (twelve years ago) link
can we add kalenna to the thread title btw? think two separate threads would be a bit pointless
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 22 February 2012 15:43 (twelve years ago) link
also: she ends that song singing from beyond the grave!
haha yeah. what's the other song with wu-tang? can't remember how it goes
― flagp∞st (dayo), Wednesday, 22 February 2012 15:45 (twelve years ago) link
"matte black truck"!
IF U LEAVE IMMA CRANK WU-TANG IN MY MATTE BLACK TRUCK, IN MY MATTE BLACK TRUCKGOT MY RED CUP FILLED UP IN MY MATTE BLACK TRUCK, IN MY MATTE BLACK TRUCK

every time i listen to this mixtape i love it more - the desperate drunk final third is so EPIC

Didn't even know this thread *existed*.
Getting 'Chamber of Diaries' now, but Black Lipstick is wonderful and the most of either of their solo stuff that really FEELS like something that could fit into LTTP.
― Somewhere between Fergie and Jesus (Alex in Montreal), Wednesday, 22 February 2012 18:10 (twelve years ago) link
Kalenna's Feeling Good samples Avicii's 'Levels', right?
― Somewhere between Fergie and Jesus (Alex in Montreal), Wednesday, 22 February 2012 18:28 (twelve years ago) link
Hence the inverted title of "Good Feeling" as in the Etta sample from Levels that never actually appears in this song?
― Somewhere between Fergie and Jesus (Alex in Montreal), Wednesday, 22 February 2012 18:29 (twelve years ago) link
i have never heard "levels" and indeed i have never heard of avici
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 22 February 2012 18:45 (twelve years ago) link
you've heard 'good feeling' by Flo Rida? It's the same sample?
― Somewhere between Fergie and Jesus (Alex in Montreal), Wednesday, 22 February 2012 18:51 (twelve years ago) link
It's the same sample. rather
haha i'm sure i must have heard it but not so much that i remember anything about it

should prolly add Dirty Money to the thread title too tbh
― TERMAINTOR 2 (some dude), Wednesday, 22 February 2012 18:53 (twelve years ago) link
xp, you'd remember the sample if you heard it, if not anything else about either track
― marissa explains it all (The Reverend), Wednesday, 22 February 2012 18:57 (twelve years ago) link
me and Brainwasher were talking last night about how dope it is that Dawn's new stuff seems really in tune with a lot of underground music right now
― marissa explains it all (The Reverend), Wednesday, 22 February 2012 19:00 (twelve years ago) link
Bah why is all of this (i'm assuming) amazing music coming out at a time when my internet has died.
― Tim F, Wednesday, 22 February 2012 20:20 (twelve years ago) link
Black Lipstick is fantastic but I'm halfway through the Kalenna and not really feeling any of it, although I've got as far as Matte Black Truck and that's pretty good.
― Homosexual Satan Wasp (Matt DC), Wednesday, 22 February 2012 21:01 (twelve years ago) link
"Matte Black Truck" is the first song to really blow my mind this year, it basically transforms to a completely different song within the coruse of 3 mins, and it manages to be both an assertive, convincing club banger and an incredibly vulnerable midtempo (I feel like letting my guard down/And giving my all to you/No matter what cost it is). AMAZING song.
― Peace (peaceful) (The Brainwasher), Wednesday, 22 February 2012 21:09 (twelve years ago) link
Okay this really kicks in after the first interlude.
― Homosexual Satan Wasp (Matt DC), Wednesday, 22 February 2012 21:12 (twelve years ago) link
yeah it definitely takes off after "matte black truck", the first third kind of clicked for me afterwards
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 22 February 2012 21:44 (twelve years ago) link
so "matte black track"'s instrument melody is basically outkast - slump, right?
― flagp∞st (dayo), Wednesday, 22 February 2012 21:49 (twelve years ago) link
which is itself probably some other song that i don't know about
