Music

It's been a while since I've gotten in to what I'm listening to at the moment. So here's a really lazy, easy post about music that makes me happy right now. I need happy thoughts after the last few days.

Jawbreaker - Unlisted Song


The Pixies - Gigantic


ELO - The Fall


The Knife - You Make Me Like Charity


Nick Drake - Parasite


Mayor Hawthorne - The Ills


The Budos Band - River Serpentine


Death Grips - The Cage


The Specials - (Dawning of A) New Era


Split Enz - I Got You


Does It Offend You, Yeah? - The Knife

I hope you enjoy.

Well, you might not enjoy the Death Grips. They're kind of an acquired taste. They're local, and I love them to death...grips. (If you read Spin, there's a small article on them on page 78 of the May/June 2012 issue). I keep reading reviews of their album and laughing at how polarizing they are. People either HATE them and wish they would die, or they think it's the most amazing album in the last few years. Albums like that always get my appreciation. Anything that stirs up that much feeling, is a good thing.

Happy picture of the day: Aziz Ansari, because he's funny, and I kind of love him.

  1. I've heard/read a lot about Death Grips recently so I was really interested to click on your link.

    I guess I'm one of the people who just ... doesn't get it. It hurt my ears. Shit, I still buy records. Kids these days, with their techno!

  2. You either like them or you don't. I know a lot of people that don't. This album is also obviously meant to be listened to on an iPod or something similar, with headphones. It is a completely different album through speakers, and not nearly as good.

    I am more open-minded about music than anyone else I have ever met. The only music I don't like really is new country. And most classical. But I do like some classical. Oh, and I don't love opera. That shit drives me bonkers.

  4. I listen to way more music than any one person should.

    The Aladdin soundtrack? I guess that's almost as strange as my Exorcist soundtrack. :)
