you are going to make me go listen to the damn band, because of the gif.

YES!  Do it!  They are pretty great!  8)

Hamilton (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

let me know what that is all about and if it is worth the listen.  all of sudden, everybody is in a Hamilton floodgate, as if it is the only play in town.

One of my favorite MCs (Daveed Diggs of clipping.) is in the cast and I did not realize it until a friend posted about it earlier… It is tight. 

The only play in town that I care about is Pericles (I am going to it in November in DC).

Plug - Drum 'n' Bass for Papa (some of the first electronic music I got into)

Pitchfork gave it a 9.5 (was searching for info on the album and saw it)

Plug
Drum'n'Bass for Papa
[Blue Planet/Nothing/Interscope]
Rating: 9.5

In my world – the world made purely of music – you can stop by any corner for a little four- piece pop, but if ya wanna hear some drum-n-bass, yer takin' the A train. It's somewhere in the outer reaches of electronic music where it rains fast, dry drumbeats that no human could ever play, and gusts of moaning harmonics blow the landscape. Not a place to hang out.

However, Luke Vibert, aka Plug, has put out this here little 2-CD set that brings the sunshine to this barren pioneer's land. A tremendously rich and complex drum-n-bass foundation (and that is, by the way, exactly what it sounds like: electronic drum [fast] and bass [slow]) with a seamlessly integrated layer of unexpected instruments and samples that make d-n-b viable to the inquiring non-techno listener! Disc one (Drum-n-Bass For Papa) is excellent the way DJ Shadow's Endtroducing is: When you listen to it from start to finish, you sit back and say, "Damn, that's good" with a sigh. Disc two (Plug EP's 1, 2 & 3) is a stronger shade of hard; less listenable but a solid companion. Take your shoes off, take a walk in the sand, enjoy the new day in drum-n-bass, and perhaps we'll go skinny-dipping later.

In 1999 my friend wanted to be a drum and bass DJ so I played the album for him and he was not impressed (he did have a tiny bit of success in the NOLA/Baton Rouge scenes though).  It takes all kinds I guess. 

I think it still sounds pretty fresh almost 20 years later.

(reason I revisited it was because Luke Vibert just dropped a new album but I wont listen to it till tomorrow)

I grabbed a couple tapes from the Sound Garden (one Cassette Store Day Release of a Kylesa album and then a copy of the new Height album) but I knew they were participating.  They had a good bit left by the time I got there at 4:30 (I had to wait for the marathon to finish before I went) but still nothing close to what they get for Record Store Day.
