Yeah, Diary is a great album. Sorry for not adding much else, but yeah. It's great.

Fat Freddy's Drop - Blackbird
Amazing band and yet another amazing album but it's Reggae based so most of you will dismiss it. Shame on you.

Hacride - Back To Where You've Never Been
No let down here from a Metal band that is not afraid to incorporate so many different influences and still sound original. One of the best Metal bands to have come out of Europe for a long time.

East Park Reggae Collective - Three Stripe Science
The production is so good they sound like they are playing in your living room. Raw and dirty Reggae that also incorporates Electronica and Hip Hop.

Gaza - No Absolutes In Human Suffering.
Napalm Death meets Infest on a walk in the park and join forces.

They released a new one? I can't believe how out of the loop I am, I'll have to get on that immediately. Boondigga is one of my favorite albums of any genre, really.

Only came out this week and it is their most cohesive album yet and probably the most raw album they have released.

Here's the last few notable things I've listened to on Spotify.

Aradhana Deep Jale (2000)

This album is basically traditional Indian religious music fused with American folk music. Every song features lyrics completely in Hindi (beside the very last one, for some reason). It's actually really interesting and a very fun listen, with sitars, Indian percussion, acoustic guitar, and violin being featured in most songs, with the occasional drum kit and an electric guitar features in a song or two. I thought it was pretty good, though there was a moment where they went from the quiet spiritual music that filled most of a record to what was basically a 70's southern rock song sung in Hindi. Not a bad song, but a bizarre choice, especially where it was placed in the album. Still, a decent little record.

Sun Ra Live At Praxis '84

The Sun Ra Arkestra at their swingiest. The band is funky, groovy, and decidedly hilarious. They have a great take on "Mack The Knife" with a Louis Armstrong imitation that could literally make you laugh out loud. I assume everyone here knows who Sun Ra is, and what he sounds like, so I won't go into detail. This record was great, if you like ol' Sunny, and you've never given it a listen, please do.

Floex Pocustone (2013)

This was actually Floex's debut record back in 2000 or something like that, but it was just reissued. Floex is a Czech jazz clarinetist who took a liking to electronic ambient music but didn't want to give up on his clarinet so he decided to do both... at the same time. The result is mesmerizing, and truly awesome to listen to if you're a fan of either genre. I personally prefer his other album, but this was still top notch.

Glenn Miller & His Orchestra On The Air: Volume One

Glenn Miller was a jazz trombonist and big band leader. I assume most here knows that, so no details for you. This is just a collection of various live radio recordings of he and his Orchestra. It's real good. It has a few tracks that are essentially the same save a few live differences or a different featured singer, but that's not really a problem. Good album.

Melt Yourself Down Melt Yourself Down

Okay. I'm going to let the Last.FM description and various quotes from the comment section explain this. "Afrocentric jazz-tinged tribal pop with avant-garde tendencies and no little funk."
"Reminds me of late Boredoms a bit especially the vocals"
"A Maldita Vecindad for the 21st century"
"im ****ing dancing right now"
"ALBUM IS BOMBASTIC ! On repeat for 3 days"
Basically, it's amazing, and if you care about good music at all, you should be listening to it right now.

I've listened to a lot more good stuff recently, but I'm done now, this taking awhile.

Oh awesome I didn't know they had a new album coming out this year. I absolutely loved their 2009 album Lazarus, which I'm pretty sure you recommended me.

Sequoioideae · 06-28-2013, 08:43 PM

MAH EARS, DEY HURT SO GOOD. I love the melt-banana side so far, and plus it comes on marbled orange, fucking delicious.

djchameleon · 06-29-2013, 04:38 AM

Time has tainted my opinion of them severally. I listened to this and was like wtf? Why did I even like them in the first place?

I decided to download Midwesterners and was reminded of what I liked about them but I guess that was the only album. I may check out their others to see where it all went horribly wrong but yeah, I loved Midwesterners.

Isbjørn · 06-29-2013, 10:08 AM

Keep in mind that Midwesterners is a compilation (greatest hits) album.
