IV: Donna Summer 1948-2012 | Donald "Duck" Dunn 1941-2012

[notbladewell]

aaaaaand blastbeats.

[Superfrequency]

That just makes me think sadly of all the cool music I might have liked lost to time and lack of distribution. I guess that isn't so much of a problem anymore now that anyone can record and upload.

And that is what record collecting is all about.

Some of my favorite records are "one and done"s

[slyfan64]

Kimbra

Thoughts?

Well the lyrics aren't exactly exceptional, but they're not the point eh? I really do like her voice and the sort-of-scat interlude was pulled off very well.

You've probably already heard this song that features her:


Been listening to it a lot lately.

[CSJ]

This is quite possibly the least rock thing I would put in my Top 50 favorite songs.

The rapper on this (Del) and Producer (Dan the Automator) teamed up before this album, alongside Kid Koala (who also appears on Gorillaz' debut album) as the hip-hop super-group 'Deltron 3030'.

[Superfrequency]

Koala also did scratches on the Lovage record Automator did with Mike Patton and Jennifer Charles, and he contributed a track to Bombay 2: Electric Vindaloo

[ArmsAreLoud]

I find the Deltron tracks to be most satisfactory

I'll be familiar enough with hip-hop to be comfortable calling myself a fan eventually.

[deathsbuddy]

Finally got Blue Lines physically!



Why was I not into Massive Attack about five years ago?

[Superfrequency]

I approve of this purchase

Psst it is upside down

And you are living in a mirror dimension

[deathsbuddy]

Haha, yes, I was aware of both spacial details!
My favorite is probably the title track which I also posted in the last thread. It's very subtle and almost definitely displays the most lyrical prowess on the album.

[Stij]

I've posted Birdsongs of the Mesozoic here before, I think. (but not this particular song) Pretty cool.

also lololol the uploader got the album title and band name mixed up. way to go, dude. attention to detail.

[Superfrequency]

OG for Lately is a beast.

[ArmsAreLoud]

Look guys I can post ridiculously obscure stuff that nobody has ever heard of too

[deathsbuddy]

This has a pretty long sample, but I love it all the same. Spoon, by Cut Chemist.

[Keratin]

I think I like this genre. Ominous, funky, and bizarre all at once.

[slyfan64]

While Reckoner is probably my favorite Radiohead song, Veridus Quo stands out for me cause it's awesome to hear Daft Punk doing something so mellow! Not the most impressive mashup, but the two songs melded together sounds cool enough for me .

[ArmsAreLoud]

I honestly did not believe that this could be good. One of the defining moments of doom metal, turned acoustic? And some punk thinks he can sing one of Cornell's most technically impressive performances?

I must say I felt awfully silly when I actually listened to it.


I've been jumping around the suggested videos from Soundgarden tracks can you tell

[Stij]

Hey guys, something I've always wondered about: Why do so many albums have a Japanese bonus track? I've never understood that.

EDIT: Also, haha, that Billie Jean cover is awesome

[ArmsAreLoud]

Because the only way to get the Japanese to buy your album is to come up with some exclusive gimmick.

They're like hipsters only with weirder fetishes.

Piracy. So much piracy.

[DevilEd]

A underground/indie/whatever rapper that I listen to a lot.

[ArmsAreLoud]

Yay Stij liked the Billie Jean cover

Here have another cover


This is so silly and I love it

@DevilEd: I like how the lyrics scroll significantly slower than the lyrics are rapped so you can't actually read the lyrics as you are listening

[DevilEd]

I didn't make the video. Its not like the lyrics are hard to hear.

[ArmsAreLoud]

Shh

Your arguments are irrelevant I just thought it was funny

I mean what was even the point of putting the lyrics up there if they weren't going to follow the song

[Kollaps]

Because the only way to get the Japanese to buy your album is to come up with some exclusive gimmick.

They're like hipsters only with weirder fetishes.

Also, if I recall correctly, albums are way more expensive in Japan.

Also this is the only wan to get some of these things in Japan. A lot of B-sides and shit don't see the "usual" "correct" release.

Now. I think this is my favorite Queen song of all time, I've finally decided, after some deliberation:

I was never hugely into them, but they are actually pretty okay. More things behind the spoiler:

show spoiler

hide spoiler

Just a selection of tracks from some recent (or recent-ish) purchases. Sadly, Youtube doesn't have the Positive Light Remix of Marillion's "This Strange Engine;" the disc wasn't a recent purchase but it was one of my favorite random finds.

(yeah okay it's been posted before but)
(the official video for the curious)

One day I gotta expand my musical horizons some more.

[ArmsAreLoud]

You're close Kollaps, but that is not quite the best Queen song. That would be this:
