also every time I hear "Goonies Vs ET" I keep yearning for a takeoff that never quite happens

This might be the best RTJ

As with the new Four Tet, it's one of those records I never really thought I would anticipate, but also never thought I would *need* as much as I did at the exact point it came out.

not cracking the lyrics so much yet but it's great already

I'm on my second spin and so far I'm with Simon. It's good and its timing is undeniable but beat-wise El-P's scaled greater heights in the past.

i’m a sucker for their shit. I didnt know they had this coming out. i thought i was sorta over how they do, and maybe i forgot them.
nah i’m still a sucker for this, it’s great.

that goonies/et mike delivery with percussion and then sax is electric like a taser.

Really feeling this sentiment, and I felt the same thing about the Four Tet record too

Definitely not AotY shit, but Walking in the Snow is definitely Track of the Year so far for me. Gotta let the dust settle though, but damn.

four months pass...

the performance of "Walking in the Snow" in the RTJ4 live vid released in the last couple days is sort of astonishing

but this is weirder because some are and some aren't, and like Greg Nice is just a sample but he's named

Listening to the album, I assumed he'd recorded the line clean for RTJ; watching the live performance, he's so precise that I'm sure of it.

The show is on HBO Max, Adult Swim, and youtube:
