★ The Weeknd ★ What You Need ★

gonna pretend i never listened to that podcast for the sake of a lot of things

*readjusts overly-shaken head*

pulling for u lex.

Terrible name. Kept me from listening to them but just gave them a chance and really liking this one.

u gotta know the box inside out in order to think outside it, basically (this is what timbaland did so well in the 90s)

ooh hey guys i don't suppose anyone thinks a night slugs slapfight would top this thread off nicely...?

i think a dismissive rtc post early on would have kept me from feeling the need to explicate so much tbh

save for people not nearly going in on lamp enough i'm pretty fine w/ how ilm addressed this matter

From a friend on Twitter:

This music review of The Weeknd that compared him to Frank Ocean is the #1 reason I hate R&B enthusiasts. Frank came out 4 days ago man.

everybody's looking forward to The Weeknd

tbh I prefer this "Weekend"

★ The Weeknd ★ What You Need ★
Least convincing / most lol-worthy aspect of The Weeknd's quick rise to Internet fame

I can't wait for his related side project called Every Minte

can i just

memo to djp: you were right, that creep song is way way better than the weeknd!

woot

Just came around to listening to Weeknd and I'm loving everything I've heard so far. I haven't taken the time to read through this whole thread, but do they only have singles out?

no there is an alb

free album/mixtape

http://the-weeknd.com/

Just found it! House of Balloons!! Exciting

!

Lol I had lunch with a lawyer friend who is massively into post-dubstep et al but doesn't listen to R&B much and he was like "there's this amazing album by this group called the Weeknd have you heard?!?!?"

three non-music nerd people have asked me what i think of the weeknd this week -- each time ive been like, i thought id love it but its not really my thing, what do u think, and they say, i love it

smh

The Weeknd: Music for nerd lawyers who don't like music besides dubstep

where's cutty?

I just spent the afternoon reading this thread from the start, Yikes! I feel totally disconnected from critical discourse on music. Anyway, After listening to the album a few times, I like it more and more. Also just discovered this song which I'm loving too!

Doesn't really sound like weeknd but doesn't have use Steely Dan!

Clams Casino just got singed to Type. So the R&B/Hip-hop/Indie thing isn't going away anytime soon. I'd much rather hear Clams Casino get the spotlight than Weeknd the dude has beats for miles, something Weeknd lack big time... and its pure spaced out bliss. As long as Lil B stays away I see good things for Clams.

what are some clams casino songs I should be checking out, jim?

the lp just got reviewed on pfork & theres a rapper named 'lil b' also

The free mixtape is pretty sweet: http://www.usershare.net/TheHipHopUpdate/8xio6fe1mhgk/CLAMS%20CASINO%20INSTRUMENTAL%20MIXTAPE.rar

Its all a nice wishy washy laid back hip-hop soundscapes. On its own its almost a trip-hop revival kind of thing but he's done beats for Lil B, Main Attrakionz, etc... Who've got mixtapes here: http://greenovamusic.bandcamp.com/ that are all solid. Lil B has a thread on ilm but isn't all that in my opinion. He's like an ameture hip-hop Flight Of The Conchords but he's not as good at rapping and doesn't get the cash they do lol. Good choice in beats though and knows a lol when it comes his way.

too easy

Were balloons at this party, gr8080?

That one girl has Mike Stanton teeth.
