Music Thread 7 – What Songs are you Downloading?

I'm more wondering if it was to boost record sales.

This came on shuffle, after watching The Wire I realize like half the cast is in it.

It could be a PR stunt, but it was apparently written in his liner notes on Channel Orange. Regardless, it's a brave decision.

If there's one thing Odd Future does well, it is PR. Could very well be true.

RIP to the Mac...

saw coldplay tonight ,,,was by far the best concert i have ever seen.

Breaking news NM cried during Fix You......then gave Malcon Glazer a call and they had a big D&M and are now BFFs

My shit.

He's streaming Channel Orange in its entirety on his Tumblr right now. "Pilot Jones" is another great tune. This album is going to be a classic. I think a truly legendary album. He's going to blowup in popularity with this release.

The new Nas album is fire.

On repeat.

Frank Ocean concert tonight

Music really needs some good external kick up the ass. I love music and I love working in a music orientated industry (for the moment at least). But it really isn't exciting me as much as I want it to anymore.

We need another Sampler revolution, or MTV, or break down and localization of scenes. I don't know what but we need something.

Though the internet has killed that a bit, music breaks and it breaks globally, nothing can incubate and develop anymore. I love the fact that I'm exposed to so much, but I hate that nothing can develop at a grassroots level. And that's not even factoring in the Post-Grunge attitude of corporations wanting to take advantage of music as a way of tapping into younger generations.



People make me sad sometimes.

Theres nothing quite like hearing Novacane and Forrest Gump live...

He also played one song on the piano and one with an acoustic guitar that I've never heard before.

Mary J. Blidge and D'Angelo are coming on tour 15 minutes from my house

I'm mad jealous that you got to see him live, right after this album came out. Gaaah!

Alexandra leaving -- leonard cohen... hauting. absolutely haunting.

Flying Lotus feat. Earl Sweatshirt and Captain Murphy (must be Tyler, the Creator)


I've been waiting for new FlyLo material for a couple years now, and although this won't appear on his new album, it's exactly what I wanted to hear. The last 50-odd seconds where FlyLo just does what he does as a beat maker extraordinaire is beautiful, stunning, cerebral and sonically impressive. I can't wait for his new LP.

Tyler and Toro -

Big KRIT put on one of the best shows I've ever been to last night. Dude was made for the stage.

I'm amped - I have tickets to see him here in Oklahoma City on October 4th. Really hyped.

You're in for a treat. Him, Casey Veggies, and this dude I had never heard of before, Tito Lopez, put on a really good show.

Futbol, have you listened to Joey Bad@$$ mixtape yet? Might be my favorite tape of the year. Has a real New York, Illmatic feel with some smooth beats. Really really great tape.
