WHAT ABOUT YOUR WOMAN
BUDDY MY FRIEND

xpost I'm just saying this isnt like some Jane Child shit here

first thing anyone has said on here that makes me want to hear something:

"but that Goat album is like beamed from an alternate reality"

also, you're not gonna GOTCHA PALIN me on some FAITH NO MORE ONLY HAD ONE CHARTING SONGS ROFLMAO FAIL WHALE shit because, critically, real talk, Nenah set the stage for Massive Attack, Portishead, Tricky, et al, and everyone acknowledges that

wait what's the name of the goat album i'll look for it on the youtube

i really liked one post buffalo neneh album can't remember title

Homebrew?

u can stream the goat here!

MAN! that album is great. that's the title. MAN.

"hornbeam" off man is such an underrated cut

might just listen to neneh all day

homebrew unfortunately had michael stipe on it meaning you could never play the album all the way through or own it cuz you might get stipe on your other CDs.

MAN is just a great under-heard/rated/etc 90's album.

But it did have "Move With Me" on it.

michael stipe's sex rap is the most hilarious thing i've ever heard

homebrew is great apart from that, cosign love for "move with me"!!!

Nenah set the stage for Massive Attack, Portishead, Tricky, et al, and everyone acknowledges that

Who is this "everyone"? I don't even remember people giving a fuck when she popped up on the Nearly God record. Maybe this is part of some elaborate mental game you're playing with yourself where you're pretending you're English, but if so I wish you'd leave me out of it.

board description!

accusing whiney of pretending he's english is graduate-level flamebaiting, v. nice

By "everyone" I mean "every pop critic who doesn't make a big show about bragging about ignoring things that aren't in their microscopic insular wheelhouse and BLIMEY GOVNER MILK IS 45 P AT THE TESCO?!"

If only there was some time in history when american critics stanned for trip-hop

that would be really cheap milk. even for green mad cow milk that would be cheap.

wait how does this not describe 90% of your posts on ilx

Uh because I post in electronic and metal and world and pop and regional thug threads and generally have eclectic tastes?

Like I'm literally the dude going "you should know who neneh cherry AND the thing are" right now, but keep spending your thanksgiving weekend trolling me

asking one question isn't trolling, swinging into 500 threads screaming "everyone who likes this is a brony" is trolling

lol unperson kind of has a tired and offensive (much more so than wgw's) schtick too, brah brah

oh i know, whiney just described it in a way that seemed a lil too close to his own

Don't think I knew that The Thing had worked with Otomo Yoshihide. Dude is awesome, will look that one up for definite.

eventually all ilx schtickers will get old and end up like alexinnyc and be all "beyonce must burn in a thousand fires in hades...zzzzz...gottagofeedthebabybrb..." and all of this will just be a dream.

baby fell asleep on my chest while i was pestering whiney :)

sorry it's not the "faux concerned, avuncular meta-analysis of everyone's posting styles" schtick that great ILX poster some dude uses to wonderful effect 13 hours out of every 24-hour day

Oh of course your gonna post something cute before I zing you >:(

shhhh you'll wake the baby

lol

irl lol here

k nevermind ill stop posting that

http://www.mixcloud.com/orangewarrior/orangewarrior-booby-trap-mix/

havent the foggiest if this is the creme de la creme or anything this is a random trap mix i checked out (and was mildly entertained by) a while back

honestly i cant be bothered to feel scandalised by this stuff or its nomenclature, it's just regular clubby shit but with the added facility of comedy thugged-out oompa loompa music

baauer is one trap producer i'm pretty into, his singles have been fun and he did this official remix of no doubt's 'settle down' which is legit delightful and one of my fave things of the year

http://youtu.be/cywS7P2JZgw

i #actuallyliked rustie's essential mix, not sure if that counts as trap edm but it was dope imo

the worst part is the ppl who try to make it seem like this is the same genre as young jeezy or something b/c they bit some drum kit ideas from rap music

yeah i mean http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trap_(music_genre)

haven't read anything past the first post yet, but thread already delivers for reminding me about TOY! I'd never heard of them until two nights ago, driving across st. louis, 88.1fm blasting this weird fucking song, catchy but everything just kind of off, melodic but not predictable. in a very nice way! i hit the Shazam button and it informs me that it's "Colour's Running Out" by Toy.

not to be confused, apparently, with another band called Toy, who also had a self-titled album called Toy in 2006.

lol im cited & it contradicts the thesis of my piece u_u xxp

do you really mean/have seen this or do you just mean toying around with the signifiers in a gross shallow way and then inferring the implication

40 Gojira – L’Enfant Sauvage (should have been way higher, but I'm biased)

I liked The Way of All Flesh as much as anyone on this board, I think, but I was a bit disappointed in L'Enfant.

Yeah, I was confused and thought Toy was the Norwegian band but it sounds like it isn't.
