Day 37

Paul McCartney - Wonderful Christmastime

It's Christmas Eve where I live and this is the last entry of Christmas week before the big one. And last but certainly not least it all comes down to Wonderful Christmastime by Mr. McCartney himself. If you haven't heard this one before please get out from under the rock that have hidden under all your life and make yourself better by having heard this song. This is without question my favorite Christmas song around, and that's a really hard thing to say for me because I LOVE Christmas music and I have heard so much, and so many different variations of songs that it becomes hard to pick favorites, but all the picks I've done thus far are my favorites and tomorrow's extravaganza is going to be all the amazing Christmas songs I left out plus I'll be sharing my own playlist I made up. Excuse me for getting a bit off topic but I'm preoccupied in anticipation and it has become hard to focus on anything (swear to god Christmas makes me giddy every year).

Day 39

Tyler, The Creator - GOBLIN

I'm back bitches!

Alright so I took a week off to play some video games and be lazy and write some music and stuff (which has been going swimmingly by the way) so I'm coming back with a album I really don't actually care for that much, but nevertheless hits the feels every tome I listen through it, and that would be GOBLIN. I'm pretty sure a lot of you hate this guy and his music which is totally understandable as he is really easy to hate. For me he was my introduction to Rap in general so obviously I have some bias towards him. This album is not his best, but I think it does the best in stroytelling just listen to songs like Golden, Nightmare, Tron Cat, Yonkers, or Window they all fulfill the story that starts in WOLF and ends on Golden. The album does have many pitfalls unfortunately and because of it I think a lot of people don't mess with anything else he has done since. The album holds too many non-sequiturs to give it enough cohesion like AU49, Boppin Bitch, and Transylvania actually suck and makes any kind of consistencythat was made on the album and are downright skippable. Also I'll note your mood depends on how much your going to enjoy the album as well, if you in a great mood expect to be dissapointed as much of this album is moody, dark, and downright sad. I heard it today and wrote about it saying how bad it sounds (which is true), what I didn't say was I was in a really bad mood, and the tracks I noted made such an impact on me that was dependent on me being fairly moody myself. So you know what love him or hate him, it dosent matter to me, all I know is that it's not a great album, but put in the right context can really really affect you.

Day 40

Swans - The Seer

So The Seer is an absolutely massive work of an album, and one that isn't meant to be gone into without the correct state of mind. The state of mind first needs you to have nothing going on for the next two hours, secondly you have to know what kind of music your getting yourself into. THIS IS NOT A POP ALBUM. If you go into The Seer expecting something catchy you're going to be dissapointed, you need to have the mindset of this album being a journey that only you can undertake, and once you do can help others along their expedition into the unknown. An album that is a beautiful yet masturbatory ride might astound you, it might sicken you, and unfortunately will leave most people bored. But using some of the tools I mentioned can make your expirience not only enjoyable, but downright amazing and wonderous.

OMGGG, in love with this track.
I never knew Clipping, but now i think i need to checkout some of their stuff.
Good song + the beat gives me goosebumps!

Day 41

Primus - Pork Soda

By far this is my favorute release from Primus, and most would probably agree. Claypool and co. are absolutely on top of their game here weather it be Claypool's zany and dark lyrics, and bass playing. LaLonde's dissonant guitar playing, or the masterful drumming of Tim Alexander it all forms together in such a beautiful cocophony of strangeness that surpasses almost every moment on both Frizzle Fry and Sailing The Seas Of Cheese in my opinion. Moments like My Name Is Mud, Welcome To Thus World , Bob, and Nature Boy certainly retain the earlier albums feel, but the production comes across much grimeier and more sinister. And excursions like Hamburger Train, DMV, Mr. Krinkle come across as masturbatory, but the band pulls them off in such a way that keep you engaged and enthralled throughout the album. Sure they might sound more proficiant on Tales From The Punchbowl, and the songs are certainly catchier on the first two and The Brown Album (which unlike most people I actually enjoy), Pork Soda pulls off something that no other Primus album did or has since. They made an album that was the strangest most twisted sounds they were to creat and they did it at the height of their popularity a move that obviously paid off.

Day 42

Sleep - Dopesmoker

So I saw this in Dead Channel's journal and I can't believe I haven't added it in mine yet. If you haven't heard Dopesmoker and you're interested in doom metal or stoner metal, this is it, with pounding riffs that just don't stop pounding, tempo that a snail could beat out, and some of the campiest lyrics I've ever heard on an album, it all weirdly ends up meshing together in such a way that keeps you enthraled all the way through. It dosent even feel an hour long it kind of breezes by as it starts to blend into what you do.

P.S - Sorry Dead for stealing the album you just reviewed, but I had to include it.

Day 43

Mac DeMarco - Salad Days

Mac DeMarco if you haven't heard of him is probably one of the most genuine and down to earth musicians I've ever seen, but also has a weirder side something that his music shows off. The music is nothing all that weird simple guitar rock, but the tuning and chords being used are sometimes completely made up, and the lyrics are always nice. It's an album I've really been digging on I've the last month or so, and while he is a new artist to me I do feel that he's become one of my favorites. So all I can really say about the album is check it out if you haven't yet, it's a beautiful record that deserves a listen or ten.

P.S - I'll he completely honest I found out about the guy from a skit in Loiter Squad, which is probably my favorite thing I saw this year, and was pleasently suprised by the guy's own output.

Aaaaaannnnddd... the loiter squad skit as well, a must watch.
