And she doesn't sound like she's "putting her soul into it," she sounds shy at least on record.

I haven't listened so I don't know, but i know you can be shy and put your soul into it.

Late response. I guess it seemed like she was just describing herself, is all. Anyway, carry on.

In electronic music, the term "futurism" always seems to indicate dissonance: The sound of tomorrow is stuck in sci-fi dystopia-mode, demanding stark minimalism, abstract squelching, and plenty foreboding low-end wobble. If you try to add little sunshine here and there, then you're probably going retro. But Lone's Galaxy Garden summons up a lush, warm, and, possibly, vacation-friendly vision of Tomorrowland. The UK-based producer takes a few cues from old-school rave (see "Crystal Caverns 1991"), but the dizzy rhythms and thought-clouding keyboard runs driving the record would be hard to excavate from any vintage mixtape. Galaxy Garden's sound palate is Discovery Store-centric, with steel drums, new age pads, and the sloshing of a digital rainstick here and there. It's a record that plays best in its most surreal moments, where the headphone candy momentarily takes precedence over the floor-friendliness. --Aaron Leitko
it's the future, but it has bits of the past, but it's really future because it has sounds from a store that closed five years ago and 1980s cliches

...the rap that was uniquely propped up on indie PR machine/cool kid blog circuit this year was ephemeral, amateurish, or even outright depressing. I won't name names since you guys seem to love them. Or at least you love reblogging their photos on Tumblr and getting free drinks at their Heineken sponsored shows. Have fun, drive safely and just know that none of this stuff is notable or interesting or entertaining to anybody who was listening to rap music back before 2008.

site
the noz article is good altho i have issues w/ two parts, the first apparently i'm no longer allowed to talk about because i've written a lot about the subject so i cant weigh in or something, and the 2nd is that i don't understand how he doesn't see chicago's scene as a substantial subject worth talking about, considering it had like 8 major label signings & made up a significant portion of his list this year.
― D-40, Friday, 28 December 2012 22:07 (eleven years ago) link
"nothing major" is almost like an overt attempt to come up with a worse name than "altered zones," i love it
― fanute me or shoot me (some dude), Friday, 28 December 2012 22:08 (eleven years ago) link
he pretty explicitly says the column is just a selective look at "some of the individual fragments that the year produced," i don't think the lack of specific topics is meant as any kind of pointed exclusion

you take this stance on any new artist you hear about thru us on ilx first rather than via radio
― D-40, Sunday, 30 December 2012 22:18 (eleven years ago) link
i think its a fair statement to make considering he wrote an article about how keef's career was over before it began on the wire earlier this year
― D-40, Sunday, 30 December 2012 22:19 (eleven years ago) link
i'm a poptimist whore it's true but honestly i see nothing wrong with greeting new artists with skepticism and letting the work they put in win you over gradually, i actually change my mind about people all the time whereas i feel sometimes like dudes decide whether they like a rapper right off the bat and stick with that feeling for life

― based grandpa (noz), Sunday, 30 December 2012 22:56 (eleven years ago) link
airing out? this isnt personal. im disagreeing w/ an element of your argument (after linking to & praising the bulk of it)
― D-40, Sunday, 30 December 2012 23:05 (eleven years ago) link
its also not 'slights towards chief keef' like this is some 'defense' of the artist. im disagreeing w/ the assessment, i dont care if ultimately ppl do or dont like the art. im taking issue w/ the particular arguments made in describing it
― D-40, Sunday, 30 December 2012 23:08 (eleven years ago) link
no, you have completely misrepresented one element of my argument and presented it as the entirety of the argument.
but lol at the wire ever running "an article about chief keef."
― based grandpa (noz), Sunday, 30 December 2012 23:17 (eleven years ago) link
the artist who made one of their top ten rap albums of the year? lol
i likely agree with the parts of the argument i haven't brought up which is why i don't take issue w/ those specifically
