Yesterdays New Quintet Angles Without Edges More from Madlib's jazz side project, Yesterdays New Quintet. It was the debut and is fantastic hip-hop influenced jazz awesomeness. Very heavy on the keys.

Posted Hood awhile back in the What You're Listening to Now topic, and never really got the whole album. I really... really am surprised at how much I like it. I didn't expect it to be so down. I thought I only had Antony Hegarty for that. |

Whenever I've had the urge to listen to Spacemen 3 in the past, I've always turned to Playing With Fire or The Perfect Prescription. They're both blissful listens, and as a consequence Sound of Confusion has found itself a little neglected... until recently. I was thinking of some covers for a radio show, and I remembered the band's killer version of Rollercoaster by 13th Floor Elevators. I suddenly found myself immersed in the rest of the album, and I found instant satisfaction in the raw, acidic riffs, repetitive trance-like structures and distorted hooks. There's something feral about the whole thing, a sharper edge to it compared to rest of the band's discography. Great listen. |

I'm really digging Led Zeppelin III right now, I'm mostly used to hearing LZ's more blues based stuff like Heartbreaker, When The Levee Breaks etc. but I have to say I'm really digging Page's acoustic talent right now. While I do not believe in the satanic background that has been painted for LZ, I do somehow believe they decided to play along on the satanic myth and that is why so many of their songs predominantly feature lyrics of mythological origin sometimes referring to demons. You can hear songs of a truly mortifying aspect on this album like "Friends" or "Hat Off To (Roy) Harper", excellent rhythmic/percussive sections like "Bron-Y-Aur Stomp" and "Gallows Pole" or the bittersweet puppy love of "Tangerine", I think "Immigrant Song" despite the opening should be saved for later since most people probably already have heard that one extensively, but once you've properly listened to Led Zeppelin III, give a listen to "Immigrant Song", it really puts everything in a nice perspective. So yeah, I'm really digging Led Zeppelin III right now.
