On a whim I decided to get a turntable and my first ever records. So I have listened to:
Oh wow, that's such a different and awesome take on a song I know so well! I'll have to keep my eyes open for Australia tours now...
BADBADNOTGOOD and Jamiroquai.
Steve Lacy, JID and Tyler, the Creator. All outstanding albums.
Yes! Nice to catch another Tyler fan here.
I kept an eye on him since the OF tapes, but I didn't get really into his music til Flower Boy.
Igor is great, I love his bold experimentation. What's your favorite track?
Earfquake for sure I think is one of the best tracks on the album but in terms of my favourite I think it would be a boy is a gun. Something about the beat and the rhythm to it is so nice for me. I can't believe there's another Tyler fan on Tildes though.
my chart this week (NSFW album art)
I've been saying for the last few weeks that I would stop listening to DG, and for the most part that's been true. What this chart doesn't show you is that Cattle Decap was easily 80% of my total listens these past few days.
This week's Spotify weirdness for me is A Patient Man by Cult Leader. This album is a bit of a weird one, it's mostly Metalcore with a few more sombre non-screamy tracks in the middle.
I've also been listening to Stranger Fruit by Zeal and Ardor basically non stop since someone recommended it in a previous thread. (the band seeks to find out what music would have resulted from African slaves in the US embracing Satan instead of Jesus)
Zeal and Ardor is wonderful. Personally, I think their debut album is stronger, and if you haven't gotten into it I highly recommend it. First day I heard it I listened to it all the way through.
5x5
Lots of art pop, including Kate Bush, AURORA, and Lorde.
Also a good bit of Brockhampton and King Gizzard.
Those 5 different artist binges almost covered up my rap consumption but not entirely :)
Yeasayer came out with a new album, Erotic Reruns, which is a little more pop-y than their other albums, but nearly every song is still solid. I’m a particular fan of “Blue Skies Dandelions”.
Om, I wish they made a new album, the last one was fantastic:

Finally listened to some albums by The Strokes that weren't Is This It. Room on Fire is actually pretty good!
I've been listening to Baby Hotline, some songs from MAHO-Dou, and the things I listen to usually.
*Young Futura- Slide
*Autolux- Sugarless
*UNKLE- The Little Things (Old but new to me)
*IDLES- Television
*Cool Company- Habit
*Ngaiire- Many Things
Reverend Bizarre's "Crush the Insects"

Great classic-sounding doom album about the Wars of Religion. Favorite Tracks: Cromwell, Doom Over the World, The Devil Rides out, Council of Ten.
