Fun Stuff > BAND
Recent Purchases but better.
elcapitan:
Last night I bought J Dilla's Donuts. I've been hearing and admiring this guy's production work in other stuff for ages, but this was the first opportunity I'd had to get any of his solo stuff.
Donuts is a collection of 31 short hip-hop instrumentals - the whole CD only comes up to 43 and a half minutes. As such, it's an engaging album to listen to - as soon as you've caught the flavour of the beat, it's a new track.
It's amazing. Brilliant. Can't recommend it highly enough. I can't pigeonhole it - but think very tight drums, intriguing samples, and an overall feeling that manages to be raw and perfect at the same time.
Some of my current favourite tracks are Workinonit, The Diff'rence, Time: The Donuts Of The Heart, and Two Can Win. If you like any of these, you'll love the album. Again, highly recommended.

Bought a couple of Fatboy Slim albums on iTunes
You've Come A Long Way, Baby - Whee! Dancable fun in a can, I tells ya! This album is catchier than the best bait you've ever fished with. Leave out the last two tracks (Love Island and Acid 8000), and ignore the fact that "You're Not From Brighton" doesn't use it's own synth vocoder line enough and it's damn near perfect
Palookaville - Haven't listened to as much of this one yet, but I like what I've heard. I mostly bought this album for "Don't Let the Man Get You Down", "Slash Dot Dash", and "The Joker".
I need to get his first album, Better Living Through Chemistry
Misereatur:
--- Quote from: KharBevNor ---There's definitely a vid (to 'Too Old, Too Cold') and solos. I had heard before hand there was going to be acoustic guitar, but I didn't notice any on my first pass through. I guess maybe that mistaken hint made me think I was gonna be getting something like Storm or Isengard, which it ain't.

I simply must get me a copy of that album.
Also, is their first album, Soulside Journey, any good?
StupidityKills:
The last album I bought is still the Delays - You See Colours and I really urge everyone who isn't instinctively allergic to jangly indie-guitar-pop to listen to some because its soooo good. The vocals are awesome, and the range on them is so varied on this second album. The sound is generally more dark, electronic and less floaty than the first album, a couple of the songs on the album (Too Much In Your Life, Lilian, This Town's Religion) have really strong stompy choruses.
Um...I think (if i remember correctly) I got this from HMV (yay, NUS discount!) on the day it was released because I'd been looking forward to it and had seen them live playing it the day before!

The last album I downloaded was The Kooks - Inside In, Inside Out and it is also excellent. I do like singers who allow their real voices and accents to come through.
Next I shall be buying the Futureheads - News and Tributes.

--- Quote from: Gryff ---Thanks for writing another song about Califoirnia, Red Hot Chili Peppers. That was something that was definitely missing from my life. I feel like a more complete person now that there is one more Red Hot Chili Peppers song about California.

Shows how closely you were listening.
Or even how much attention you paid to the billions of press about that song.

Yeah, I'm aware that it's about a girl named California, not California the place, but what difference does it make?
