House flute slow jam hash odyssey. This is very listenable so far.

The Moodymann mix of Cosmic Slop towards the end of the record is amazing

couldn't find a way into ronika after botanist & steve gunn. sounded like shallow 80s pop pastiche, and the songwriting wasn't drawing me in.
but fuck i LOVE the moodymann album. i went on a massive moody bender after "discovering" him a few years ago, and it's great to have new album of this quality to slot in with silentintroduction, black mahogani, etc. such a gorgeous front-to-back listen.
that's why i like this moodymann record so much actually, it's just as long as his others but keeps moving between ideas
^ brad nelson otm. you want longer grooves? there's a dj for that.

I sorta admired and appreciated this when I heard it, but didn't deeply connect. Moodymann in general is obviously all time tho.
― MikoMcha, Tuesday, 27 January 2015 17:11 (nine years ago) link
The annoying infantilised adult is a fairly common archetype in gentrified London and a quick image search for Tune-Yards suggests her entire image is based around being a particularly egregious version of that, and that's before you even get onto the music itself.
Disclaimer, I've not listened to any of the lyrics.

Glad this album exists if only for provoking the greatest piece of music journalism this year.
And it's nothing to do with that diss track.

tbh i loved almost everything red house painters ever did but was never able to get in to anything he's done since
his set at pitchfork was kinda nice 4pm wash-over-you background noise i didn't focus on but enjoyed

Matt, you should probably listen to tune-yard's lyrics, or at least read them (and bear in mind that this is coming from the #1 booster of never paying attention to lyrics)

Most of the negative RTJ discussion has been along the lines of "not my thing, glad these dudes made it" with a side order of "El-P still can't rap". If it's the most controversial placement I'll be amazed.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 27 January 2015 17:19 (nine years ago) link
otm except i like the first two proper skm albums
his stream-of-consciousness death and bar decorations stuff basically revived his career but it's total garbage imo
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Tuesday, 27 January 2015 17:19 (nine years ago) link
There's some great stuff on this album but it's no Perils From the Sea (or any peak RHP/SKM obviously)

Same. It's weird, because it's not wildly different, but it just seems like he's been on autopilot for close to 15 years.

there is almost no way RTJ2 pisses people off as much as kozelek on any number of levels, though it'll def inspire some grumbling

Sun Kil Moon hasn't inspired much angry debate, as it's so obviously a load of terrible horseshit whose voters won't be able to defend it

SKM's ghosts of the great highway from like, 2003 i think, is pretty all right, but benji is so far away from that sound it's not even funny
― i'm tellin you it was kenard (slothroprhymes), Tuesday, 27 January 2015 17:24 (nine years ago) link
i mean i get it there's a ton of mundanity contrasted with the inexorable advance of death on this record which really resonates with a certain demographic, i just think it's lazy garbage
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Tuesday, 27 January 2015 17:24 (nine years ago) link
the self-consciousness of it is really off-puttng
It made me want to listen to 'I See A Darkness' and not any other Kozelek material.
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 27 January 2015 17:25 (nine years ago) link
there's also a song on here about kozelek's early sexual experiences which no one needed
