^^ ok i am intrigued. i can google, but what is this? what's it sound like?

presumably sounds like the cult of dilla, c/d?

The Dilla cult is real but there's also a little bit of a Thomas theorem thing going on with all that. *skips over that mess*

I've liked pretty much everything I've heard from Darryl Reeves thus far (though not really familiar with the rest of the quartet), haven't come across any jazz oriented interpretations of Dilla (Besides the track Robert Glasper did last year). Thought I'd give it a go and it checks out. He has fun with it, none of it feels too derivative and at 26 minutes it doesn't come close to outstaying its welcome. Its refreshing and doesn't feel unnecessary or forced.

If I were 20 years younger I would be very excited by Savages and in any case I will buy that album which I will enjoy not least because it will look good in my flat.

i realise that my reaction to that is very much coloured by the memory of his terrible music

HAhaha, it's like a common blue card from Magic: The Gathering... "Drain Fun." (two blue mana; game no longer fun)

"Shooting at the walls of heartache, bang bang..."

Sort of hate the band, but I routinely like their covers

Never heard of them, but that looks very 80s to me, in a way that does not meet with the common 80s signifiers.

kinda looks like a jazz album cover but not in blue note way

Kinski - Cosy Moments

lol

reminds me of weezer's raditude.

crossed with hotel california, yeah

The photographer's work was in an exhibit at the Met in NYC recently:

Inspired by chase scenes in 1960s and 1970s action movies and television shows such as Bullitt, The Streets of San Francisco, and The Dukes of Hazzard, Porter’s photographs of floating muscle cars are captivatingly implausible. The vehicles are die-cast models that the artist shoots in his studio, mimicking the lighting conditions of the backgrounds into which they are inserted. Here, a 1970 Plymouth GTX hovers above a hazy streetscape near downtown Los Angeles, glinting in the late afternoon sun like a modern-day winged chariot.

Has their logo always had that Firefox swirl in the "O"? It makes them look like a crisp, refreshing juice blend.
