thoughts on things...
YG - the more I listen to this album, the more it feels like a letdown to me. I don't know. It's not bad or anything. But My Krazy Life was just sooooo good and well thought out as an album. This doesn't really feel like a cohesive album to me so much as it feels like some songs bundled together. Shrug.
Game - the more I listen to this one, the more I like it. I mean, it's this weird stopgap release. I didn't even know it existed until about a week before it dropped. No fanfare. No hype. Cameos by dudes I never heard of. Fantastic beat selection. Just really pleased with this.
Chili Peppers - First listen was good. I know most of you don't care about RHCP or whatever, but I'm happy w/ this album. Dangermouse producing is a cool fit. Feels like sort of a throwback to the funk-dance stuff they were doing pre-Blood Sugar in a way.
Radiohead - I finally heard this cuz it's on Spotify now. Pretty damn great. I might (MIGHT) like it more than King Of Limbs and In Rainbows. Well maybe not In Rainbows. We'll see...
Spinhead Sessions - is f'ing glorious. Unearthed instrumentals from 86? It doesn't get much better.
at this point, only half a year in, I feel I an say that 2016 has been a better year for music in my mind than 2015 was.
