The Cranberries - Everyone Else is Doing it Why Can't We?

Forgot how much I loved this album. Chick's voice is intoxicating.

From hip hop to instrumental hip hop to trip hop, a genre I've listened to but never explored. Never even listened to more than a few Massive Attack songs and now I'm kicking myself. The guitar and bass are exactly the kind of rumbling, hypnotic thing that gets me hard.

I also like that I came to trip hop with instrumental hip hop as an intermediary. I've been wondering how trip hop could have developed from actual hip hop, and I guess now it all makes sense. I really ****ing love when I can connect the dots between related genres as it makes them feel at once more familiar but also somehow more grand. Actually makes me want to listen to music more.

Mesmerizing. Buckley was kind of a cosmic traveler. His voice/his soul always seems to be reaching for something unattainable, something that is far away (actually, light years away) from our world. This is a song that's always been close to my heart, for many reasons.

Tim Story - The Luminous, The Dark and Her cathedral (Toledo, Ohio, 1991).

Their folk-rock is so subtle... their real talent may easily go unnoticed on a first listen.

Holopaw - “Shiver me” and “Little shaver” (Gainesville, Florida, 2005).

The Batlord

Been a while since I listened to this. Perfect atmosphere.

I used to ****ing love this album but it's been forever and a day since I played it and I was kind of worried that the early-mid 90s sound would make it feel even more dated than it kind of already did. **** it though, I always thought Nas' flow was laidback on this album, but I think it's that he speaks so clearly that you can mistake the intensity if you don't give this **** both ears. This is not a club song by any stretch of the imagination but it's an incredibly high energy track that keeps that energy under its skin.
