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.

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?!"

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
― r|t|c, Friday, 23 November 2012 22:59 (eleven years ago) link
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

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

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.
― Z S, Saturday, 24 November 2012 00:13 (eleven years ago) link
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

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.
― o. nate, Saturday, 24 November 2012 00:19 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, I was confused and thought Toy was the Norwegian band but it sounds like it isn't.
― Come Into My Layer (Old Lunch), Saturday, 24 November 2012 00:31 (eleven years ago) link
See, I think L'Enfant is a huge improvement over Way, which I actually think is the weakest of their recent albums. For me it goes L'Enfant, From Mars to Sirius, The Link, Way, Terra Incognita.

every online piece on 'trap' has the same narrative of 'first it was invented by trap artists then lex luger then tnght and diplo and flosstradamus'

I don't like From Mars to Sirius much either, and that seems to be the one most Gojira fans rate, so maybe I'm more of a Way fan than a Gojira fan.

I remember and prolly still own the album by the Norwegian Toy, it was decent but sounded exactly like Plone to the point where it was creepy

A pint of milk is actually 49p at Tesco so that was a pretty good guess.

I love Leonard Cohen, I have every album and I rate the new one but AOTY?
I ignored that album, then a friend had an extra ticket to see him last night. Dude is nearly 80 and he was dropping to his knees repeatedly and popping back up like he's in his 30s, and played over 3 and a half hours! Amazing. It was a bit too much for me all at once, but great to hear my favorites live, and his voice is in better shape than it was a few years ago. I guess the story is while he was living with Buddhist monks his business manager ripped off around 5 million from him leaving him broke, so he came out of retirement and hit the road, and started having a blast. There's some great songs on the new album, sounds more consistent to my ears than say, Various Positions and I'm Your Man. Still, I don't think it'll crack my top 100.

naw, that's post-dilla "beat scene" type stuff, which is an entirely different thing. there is a bit of crossover between the two scenes, but the track you posted isn't it.
