August 12, 201115 yr Ike Quebec - Blue & Sentimental How is it? Been itching for since hearing some samples. Doing a little comparison between the 24/96 DAD and Music Matter 45rpm...
August 12, 201115 yr It was very good. Sax tone reminded me of Coleman Hawkins for some reason. Definitely going to listen again this weekend and take it all in.
August 12, 201115 yr What do people think of Kanye West My Dark Twisted Fantasy now that it has been out for a while? I listened to it again last night and I still don't understand the hype this album gets. There are some great songs, but to merit the high reviews pretty much all the album should be flawless.
August 12, 201115 yr I only made it through a couple times. I did kinda dig the West/Jay-Z/Spike Jonze Otis vid earlier today. 'I write my curses in cursive..." Now... One From the Heart. Edited August 12, 201115 yr by blessingx
August 12, 201115 yr Author Gloria Coleman Quartet featuring Pola Roberts -- Soul Sisters It might have been worthwhile to feature Grant Green too, but what the hell. I guess he ain't no soul sister.

It's not my type of music. I disliked the feeling of it being a constant copy of old well known tunes. I don't understand the hype, yet less the morons at Pitchfork giving it a 10.

I am surprised you even gave it a chance and listened to this crap a few times. I formed an opinion in about 10 minutes after sampling a few tracks.
August 13, 201115 yr Well, times change and one needs to learn to adjust to new things, or at least trying. Usually I don't bother with much of the contemporary "pop"--in its widest sense--music, but I needed to try with this disc just for it being raved by so many people.
August 13, 201115 yr Not sure if you guys are anti hip hop or just the Kanye album? If it is the latter then I agree with you. For the former I do think there is some really great hip hop out there (though a lot of it will never see radio play or even get reviewed by big pubs), but I admittedly listen to less of it these days because it is a chore sifting through the crap .
August 13, 201115 yr I'm not anti-anything, just I can't get into some genres. Hip-hop is one of them. I guess having to pay extra effort to understand the rhymes and discovering they're mostly about nonsense doesn't help much. I guess there must be good examples worth listening and learning to love, but for me KW isn't one of them.
August 13, 201115 yr I'll listen to anything as long as it is interesting to me, don't care what the genre is. Stuff like Prince Charming, Dälek, DJ Cam and Prefuse 73 I can dig, but I can't get at all into any of the overly commercial "fast cars, chicks and money flying around" stuff. Well I do like Kool Keith Edited August 13, 201115 yr by faust3d
August 13, 201115 yr Foo Fighters - Wasting Light (2x45) if you like live rock and roll these guys are SLAYING live right now. hangout fest was amazing. of course they were also slaying when i saw them open for RHCP in 1997. Edited August 13, 201115 yr by postjack
August 15, 201114 yr Stephen Malkmus And The Jicks, 'Mirror Traffic' (produced by Beck) streamed over at NPR Music. Anyone else having issue with the new forums formatted text entry?
