As a borderline Kanye STAN, the marketing actually was icky, its slapdash nature only mirroring some of the weaknesses of the album. IMO, Kanye would have been better served keeping the tweet storms to a minimum, keeping the MSG listening party - wh…

Still marinating on it, but overall getting the sense that Kanye himself doesn't even know whether he's joking or not anymore - that he's entering a Tron-style world of his own creation, and there's like another Flynn, an evil one, running the show.…

I wish I knew exactly how much their rent was, and how many rinked Stan Kenton's they had to sell just to make that.

Local media has buyer as: Wolfgang’s Vault – a Reno, Nev., operation that buys and sells music, film and other cultural items – has acquired the store’s inventory and the Jazz Record Mart name and web site. http://www.chicagotribune.com/en…

It defies easy categorization for me because the music is that gorgeous maximalist sound a la MBDTF and yet some of the rhymes seem so tossed off.

Trying to place the Portishead sample from "Freestyle 4" and it's Goldfrapp. I am so dumb! Nice strings tho. Listening to it all first time around while reading about Scalia (RIP), and wondering if this is real life.

Impatiently waiting for the mastered version but this making me kinda whet

Yeah I guess teens and preteens are going to stop dancing to EDM and just start listening to rock or something? Really though, the sheer amount of sex and drugs that's part of the EDM party - and with the BPMs fast enough for even the worst-dancing …

^^^^^^^ EDM seems umm firmly entrenched in the pop landscape at this point. What theoretically would take its place?

Enjoyed this, and thanks to whomever set up the DL link! Couldn't help but feel that a lot of those early clerk dudes who ended up as VPs just rode the gravy train, probably to the detriment of the company. If you're bloated with mad middle-managem…

Iggy Pop actually going on tour!However... The Philadelphia Music Alliance is heartbroken to report the passing last night of guitarist Thomas Joshua “ T.J.” Tindall, who was inducted twice into the PMA’s Walk of Fame during 2013 ceremonies as a…

Can I say this one? I'd take either over East of Underground.

I've never been real good at the internet so this is as good of a place as any to admit that I learned about Soul Strut on the Stones Throw message board, when all the members flocked there momentarily during a Strut outage. Hcrink, like Rahm Eman…

In the dance scene, I actually kind of prefer older DJs, with people like Danny Tengalia, DJ Hell, Laurent Garnier, Tony Humphries and Junior Vasquez all like AARP-status.

There's been so many QT lists in the wake of this new one and the big shocker to me is how consistently people rate KB2 higher than KB1. To me, the scenes between Uma and David Carradine in Mexico - and all the stuff with her daughter - was the corn…

Bulls didn't hit a field goal in the final 6.5 minutes and still won, against the Spurs

Crazy how quickly Keef literally got fat. Can't say I've sifted through all his music, but haven't heard anything that quite captured the, umm, spirit of his original on-house-arrest shit

It's not new, but the video was released and the officer was charged during the same week Spike Lee's "Chi-Raq" had its premier, here in Chicago, and it also coincided with a shooting (of protesters) at a #BlackLivesMatter protest in Minneapolis, ma…

I like it well enough, even if it seems more or less a retread of what's she's been doing since "Work It" through "Lose Control" - flexin' '80s throwsbacks. Could be worse! Timbaland, on the other hand... Nah. Heard some new song on Apple Music th…

Also, I opened this thread and the Best Albums of 2015 thread each in their own tabs, and somehow collated the two into what seemed like a timewarp. I was like, Did Fleetwood Mac really put out a record this year?

For a good intro to the Dead, I'd say Reckoning, a 2LP acoustic live set that's super accessible.

Been pretty much just been dabbin' and listening to "Dab Daddy" on repeat all year

Yes, I realize it's most likely not a sample at all
