10. The alien I saw working in a kebab shop in Berlin. He looked like a slightly melting Arab Gary Shandling. I knew something was funny by watching him move, it was something in the way it poured the tahini. Then a weird incandescent light was pouring out of his ears, sort of like honey. He peeped me noticing, saw the confused horror explode through my expression and moved in a time folding way, like a film jumping. It looked shocked like a young boy that was discovered stealing quarters from his moms purse to play Galaga at the corner store. I backed away into the door and almost broke through it but then it said something that sounded like "xeeulis" or something and I felt comfort like never before. We spoke for about an hour but everything it said I immediately forgot. Except this: that Kanye West was the greatest artist of any kind in the history of man.

I wasn't into Black Up at all when I first heard it. I gave it a good shot because I'm willing and ready to slobber on anything Digable Planets alumni make but I just felt bored by this.

But I take it all back now. Lately I've been listening to the album on the daily.

i saw them live the other night. The crowd was too white for the crazy afrocentric rhytms going on, it was just me and asian dude groovin, but it was dope.

He has crazy swag and does some crazy **** with his beatmaker

>: (

I really want to see them when they do the Free Press festival. There's a few other acts too, but I've regretted not seeing them at the Pitchfork Hipster Festival when I had the chance.

Yes we are saved!!!!!!

no leaked tracks hold up to black up yet imo

but have to listen to it in entirety and pick up on nuances

That's a bummer, since I usually align with your sensibilities. I still need to take a listen to their newest stuff tho. I have checked some f their older stuff though, I couldn't get into the first EP but the second was great, that "gunbeat falls" just killin shit.

Yeah. I've never given the first record a listen but i enjoyed his sophomore release quite a lot.

Goofle sent me Black Up on vinyl for Christmas and it's been a staple for me ever since. Any recommendations on similar albums or is this a freak of nature?
