I hope this thread survives. I would much rather talk about music over food, TV and movies any day. I try and find new music all the time, and I'm consantly listening to music, but I can understand that people aren't always like that. They find something they like and stick to it and that's probably why threads like this suffer. Anyway I'll post some stuff I've been listening to lately. I go through phases, at the moment it's all sort of chilled out electronic stuff, coming into summer that's what you need.

Thundercat's album was released recently. The album's a mix of pop, electronic, soul and jazz, with FlyLo producing. It's pretty fucking ace. I'd say this is going to be on high replay for a while.

Thundercat - For Love I Come
Thundercat - Jamboree

Four Tet is always on pretty high rotation with me. It's easy to chill out and get lost in.

Four Tet - Angel Echoes
Four Tet - Everything Is Alright

LCD Soundsystem, one of my all-time favourites, finished up this year. I was crushed, but I'll always have the records! This song is my favourite by them and one of the best songs released in the last 15 years.

LCD Soundsystem - All My Friends

Holy **** are playing at a festival I'm going to later in the year. I only had their latest album so I thought I would check out some of their older stuff in anticipation. I probably like it more than their more recent work which is a nice surprise.

Holy **** - Lovely Allen
Holy **** - Safari

I'm not going to blow my entire wad at once, so I'll probably leave it at that for now so I have a reason to come back to this thread again.

Sorry, I just love this. Brings back memories of memorizing it and singing it with my friend during my math class last year.

I love Queen but I also LOVE A Capella!

The new Mastodon (and Trivium) song is a little too mainstream. It's always nice to hear bands like Mastodon (and Trivium) on the radio...but then again it's always bad to hear them on the radio too

So I've listened to the Flaming Lips new 24-hour song for about 4 or so hours today.

I've now put the stream as my homepage so I'll listen to this on and off when I have nothing else to listen to. It's streaming for a year so eventually I'll hear it all.

Here is a white boy with his version of "Look at me now"

props given because they were very much deserved here.

Thinking about it, we are probably partially overlooking the best most talented generation of poets ever.

Stogi · « **Reply #35 on:** December 02, 2011, 06:36:17 PM »

I still can't believe Yung Humma is Pootie Tang. Makes it more amazing.

Yooooooo

At 3:09 in the Yung Humma song...is that the white boy from "cook with me now?" Looks exactly like him.

Nah, that's Slick Mahoney

The "cook with me now" guy is a battle rapper Mac Lethal
all white people look alike

But Yung Humma was Pootie Tang?
I never really watched the movie, but I thought these guys were a bunch of college friends who happened to stumble upon internet stardom by accident with the first few songs which they did as a sort of joke/pet project. But if Yung Humma is Pootie Tang, then that means at least one of them has been chasing the stardom for a while now.

Here are some of my favorite songs:

Pendulum - Salt in the Wounds
Here's a live version of my current favorite song. Uptempo with heavy beats, which make this song ideal when waking up or trying to stay awake (not really recommended when driving, it has the tendency to make you speeding).

Prodigy - Voodoo People
I've got a soft spot for the Prodigy, and this version of Voodoo People is by far my favorite song (with 'no good' as a close second)

Deadmau5 - Ghost 'n' Stuff
One of my favorite tracks of Deadmau5. It has a catchy tune and some nice beats.

Some of the older songs that I'm still listening to:

Energy 52 - Café del Mar (3 in 1 remix)
One of the alltime dance classics that has lit up the dance floor on many occasions.

Three Drives on a Vinyl- Greece 2000 (original mix)
BBE - Seven days and one week
Three Drives - Sunset on Ibiza (DJ Enrico Remix)
These 3 songs are maybe not as well known as Café del Mar, but I think they hold up pretty well in this day and age.

I actually have quite the soft spot for the Mirror's Edge song. "Still Alive" by Lisa Miskovsky.

Stogi · « **Reply #40 on:** December 07, 2011, 02:38:41 AM »

Shorty, I listen to the dubstep remix by Airwalker every once and awhile. Good song. Do yourself a favor and give it a listen.

Shorty McNostril · « **Reply #41 on:** December 07, 2011, 05:40:32 AM »

When my internet uncaps itself I might just do that.

Jmil Kly - The Boy King EP

I got forwarded this EP by a friend and I was definitely surprised. Great flow and lyricism, but I can't get over the production, this is some of the best I've heard all year. And all this from a free EP, I hope this dude has a future.

Stogi · « **Reply #43 on:** December 08, 2011, 06:12:04 PM »

I liked his productions more than his raps to be honest. I only listened to 4 songs though.

**** all that **** I posted...Just listen to "Vaiden The Law"

http://www.reverbnation.com/artist/artist_songs/1404221

I miss this type of rap.

jrlibrarian · « **Reply #44 on:** December 28, 2011, 01:41:01 PM »

Might as well get in on this. These aren't finished yet (they still need drums and bass), but just the vocals/guitar work pretty well in my opinion.

Happy Leviathan-Acid Rain
Happy Leviathan-You Know What? (Good Excuses)

Dude! Four Tet is awesome! From other post about music, I think we have a similar taste so I'm going to have to really check out those links you posted.

Here's my recent favorite songs to play at a party:

House of Balloons (by The Weeknd, remixed by Party Supplies)

Home (by Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeroes, Remixed by Party Supplies

Love Story (By Taylor Swift, remixed by Party Supplies*

*first Taylor Swift song I've ever heard lol, also has a hilarious intro

Dasmos · « **Reply #46 on:** February 28, 2012, 07:26:42 AM »

So as soon as I heard about the Gorillaz song featuring James Murphy (from LCD Soundsystem) and Andre 3000 (from OUtKast, duh), I was amped. Then came the song came out, running at a little over 4 minutes and I must say I was disappointed. I mean it was good, but it was far beneath my expectations.

Then BAM! a couple of days later the 13-minute extended version drops and it's a monster.

Already picking this as the best track of 2012.

Caliban · « **Reply #47 on:** February 28, 2012, 02:14:30 PM »

That was loooong, but I still listened to it. Are they going to release an album, or just singles?

Stogi · « **Reply #48 on:** February 28, 2012, 02:43:05 PM »

That was sick. But Andre needs to go ahead and release his album already. It was suppose to come out last year.

Haha yeah, as I said there is a 4-minute version. And unfortunately it's a standalone release as a part of series Converse has put together, 3 Artists, 1 Song. There's another one released previously release with Kid Cudi and Best Coast.

It would be amazing if these guys collaborated on something more than just this one track.

Yeah, Andre destroys this track. He's been popping up more and more lately so hopefully that means he'll be dropping something soon. But then again it tools ages for Big Boi's album to get released.
