MUSIC THREAD

I don't know if any of you have ever heard of Todd Snider, but he's a really clever singer-songwriter in the alt country/folkie mode, but his latest album, "The Devil You Know," is way more rock 'n' roll than what he usually does. He's back on a major label (Universal), played on Leno the other night and has been reviewed by Rolling Stone, Esquire and Blender this month, which makes us long-time fans both proud and squeamish.

Anyway, it's well, well worth the price. Pick up some of his older stuff while you're at it, too. He does have a greatest hits.

 

it is time to reveal my guiltiest of guilty pleasures...

The Christina Aguilera new album is hot

 

That's not a guilty pleasure. That shit is cool in a mainstream radio pop way. It's better than Cassie, Jessica and all that shit.
Plus, Primo produced a good chunk of the first disc, which qualifies it for a pass regardless.

There's a dope remix of "back in the day" floating around with Termanology (dope upcoming cat from Boston) on it.

The only shame is that Nas, Rakim, etc didn't get those dope ass Primo beats.

 

I still say The Master was good shit.

Hey Clubber, you a De La Soul guy?

 

Of course

 

three records i am enjoying:

the format - dog problems
heartless bastards - all this time
the roots - the game theory

 

Bought it the other day. I've only gotten through the first disc. I could have done without the "fuck you Scott Storch" song, but overall, I like it a lot.

 

fuck scott storch though.
that dude is wack.
he used to be somebody worth caring about ... working w/ the roots and everything.
now, rolling around w/ paris hilton .... shiiiet

 

Clubber,

out of the, how can I describe them...indie?...post-modern?...out of the alter-ego favoring genre of hip-hop, who do you like?

I refer to the Deltron/Quas/MFDoom type guys....


Any recommendations? I'm digging The Further Adventures of Lord Quas (or whatever its called) and Occult Hymn was pretty tight, in a goofy kind of way.

 

Jonah Smith. My Morning Scene. Download. Today. Is this guy as good as this song makes me think he is?

 

I heard that chick from the Black Eyed Peas has a really tight single. ??? :'(

 

Just downloaded "Rooftops" by Lost Prophets........song kicks some ass.
