nah. i'm right
that first four have a modern and lissom poise, light and dark perfectly intertwined, shadow for undertow
the rest is leaden dredge of 1997 cut-out bin - blood simple western neo-noir, goth triphop, some shit that sounds like underworld, tricky. withdrawal into thumbsucking clumsy

bizarre how little coverage the new Maya Jane Coles album is getting -- you'd think after Nicki Minaj sampled her there'd be an interview a minute
the album is great, but that isn't surprising

I listened to it, part of it, the other night. It's looooong. But very nice.

Still digesting this. Some of it is too much a throwback to a 90s sound I don't especially care for (Darkside being a good example--I also don't like the guest vocals on that). I had been enjoying the Won't Let You Down EP though.

Is this thing going to deviate from leaden trip-hop even once over it's frankly bewildering 24-track duration?

Except the first album got a lot of mileage out of exploring that overlap between house music and 90s Bristol. It still felt like body music rather than monging music.
I got bored and gave up about a quarter of the way in but I guess it takes off at some point? Like is it worth starting at the half way point?

Saw her late Saturday night (2:30 a.m.) DJing for about 75 people in Chicago and had a great time.
Have to say, she seems to have the enviable life -- must have some good mailbox money from "Truffle Butter" and Katy Perry's "Swish" and Lady Gaga's "Sour Candy" (all sampling "What I Say") without having to even incorporate that into a club set.

er, make that "What They Say"

It's sweet that you think that, but she made $350 last night. I guess that her hotel (+ under?) was paid. Depressing.

Surprised at that based on the cover charge. Anyway, great set, and felt lucky to see her in a smaller crowd.
