Earl Sweatshirt's I Don't Like Shit, I Don't Go Outside. It was fine - but I didn't devote my attention to it as much as I should've. I might listen again and do it properly this time!
The National - Boxer. This was a very solid album; I'll listen again, and moreover, I look forward to working my way through their discography. This listen was part of an ongoing effort to listen to the the whole /r/indieheads essentials list.
If you end up liking I don't like shit more this time around, definitely give his new album a spin. It's more experimental but I think its up there with his previous releases.
Thanks for the recommendation. The hype around the new album was actually one of the reasons I wanted to listen to I don't like shit in the first place. That, and a desire to broaden my musical horizons by listening to more music that isn't made by angsty white guys.
Danny Gonzalez's I'm Gonna Kill Santa Claus. I'm a fan of the guy's regular commentary, but his music videos get me every time. They're nothing like what I usually listen to, they're a shameful pleasure of mine.
Thanks for that! I loved it.
I stumbled across Rotting Christ again this week and it finally clicked. Their new track Fire God and Fear is excellent and I have been digging though some the older albums as well - especially Theogonia and Rituals . I'm really linking their newer sound mixing doom and black compared to the grind they put out during the early years. Also I'm a sucker for the humming and church-like atmosphere they tend to blend in.
By a weird set of concidences*, I discovered an artist who lives just 200 miles from me. Great song for trying times: I didn't F*ck it up!.
