Did you like Visions?


I did…or at least like 3 or 4 songs on it

i shouldn't say her new album is terrible, its just not my cup o' tea
I suspect that this new one will have the same fate as Visions, in that the few best songs will go onto my 'Icy Chanteuse' playlist and I'll never listen to the album again.

Although I have to say that I really do like Scream, Flesh Blood, Kill V Main, and Reality, and I will probably end up liking one or two from back end of it.

The Deads Company ™ on amex stream
listened to

grimes -  art angels  ( no )

death grips -  no love deep web  ( these guys are original and brilliant but shitty other times.  still tight and fun to listen to, but I always feel like I can have a seizure or schizophrenic episode doing so.  the cover, confounds me. )

toro y moi -  anything in return ( so I never have listened to them so I gave them a chance and im getting this whole vibe or some thing of another era with this band, like I am 30 years younger and all members have thick bushy hair and beards and wear aviator like sunglasses while doing large amounts of cocaine. )

I gave ( wavves  v ) another listen, and I have determined that it is good and still holds essence and I recommend it to anybody who goes gives loving to the last two wavves albums first.

baio -  the names  ( so very good, and I was expecting something not like this from some vampire weekend spinoff.  dancy, catchy, dreamy, poppy, Depeche Modey.  you can bop and focus your inside observational eye at the same time. )

new coldplay song.  ( people say it is about chris having sex with the hunger games girl, which I guess is fine, because the song is great and has a nice feel to it for a coldplay song and comes out fresh and alive for them.  hopefully the new album will be a return to what the band can do as one of the more powerful rock acts performing. )

kurt vile -  spotify sessions live.  ( uhmm, hell yeah.  kurt's guitar sounds great in an open air setting and his voice live is unreal.  so much better on stage than in studio, somehow, and how is that even possible.  the new John Jim Wayne Morrison. )

My two favorites by them are Exmilitary and Jenny Death.  No Love Deep Web is tight too.

no!?
Death Grips - The Money Store

I am not sure why I have not listened to this before today.
Various Artists - Swag Angola

A complication of different Angolan musical styles from last year.  I am a sucker for Portuguese…  Also, this thing has an awesome cover.

I love Sly & Robbie.  They are truly epic.  Responsible for hundreds of thousands of recordings.  I have seen them twice.  Once back in the late eighties at a reggae-fest at the Boathouse in Norfolk.  A second time at the 930 when they backed up Sinead O'Connor for her foray into reggae. 

There are no other artists that have been as important to their genre as Sly & Robbie are to reggae.  They are the alpha, the beta, and the omega.  True story.

for sure… I would also put in a word for the great carlton and aston barrett duo..a  ton of those great dub and Jamaican records before Sly and Robbie hit the scene have them on them… carlton's work with the one drop beat is also bigtime…but yeah sly and Robbie are epic.
