Wizard Symptoms
Really clever, articulate punk rock that talks about celebrity worship and media saturation. They even have a song attacking Jersey Shore.

I made my own week when I found it. They have a cool documentary style video on their website for the album too.

Psychic Ills - Frkwys Vol. 4
--- Quote from: Boomkat ---Joining the microdots between Psych, Techno and Krautrock, Brookyln's Psychic Ills and the Frkwys label enlist Juan Atkins, Gibby Haynes (Butthole Surfers), and Hans-Joachim Irmler (Faust) on a very special remix trip. In a genius A&R move, Juan Atkins is set to work on 'Mantis', augmenting the somnambulant repetitions of the original with a firm Detroit backbone while maintaining its psychedelic potential with subtly off-key tuning and a warped vortex of a breakdown. Seriously, after ten minutes of this you'll be doing it all over again. Gibby Haynes is offered 'I Take You As My Wife Again' on the flip, and turns it into an organically unfolding slab of analog avant-techno, gradually raising its systolic rate until it throbs like the heart of a mushroom foraging boar in the midst of a mindblowing trip, grunts distorted into the aether. Of all three remixers, we'd probably reckon Hans-Joachim Irmler has done the most drugs, and his version of 'Wichcraft Breaker' sounds like it, recasting the track as a vast cosmic vision of squally distortion powered by motorik bass and offworld tribal drumming. This 12" is really something to marvel at.

Lil B - Rain In England
--- Quote from: Boomkat ---Oh my days. Lil B and Weird Forest present one of the most baffling, polarizing, and OUT THERE releases of the year with 'Rain In England'; a collision of stream-of-consciousness rap lyrics and beatless, new-age ambient synth music. It's entirely the work of internet sensation Lil B, a "based" rap savant with more than 150 myspace pages, millions of views on youtube, and the most distinctive style in circulation right now. He's been aptly described as the "anti-Drake", a lo-fi and chronically underground character with an imposing glut of material. Weird Forest can evidently see the virtue of his music as a unique entity in a sea of homogeneity, moving rap music beyond the stale cynicism of backback hiphop and the bloated boasts and empty meaning of Gangster and Pop-Rap to occupy a position in front of the computer screen in his bedroom, as honest and grounded as the next man, only with the most naive and trippy synth music for company. To be totally honest, much of the music sounds like my 2 year old niece palming her casio keyboard, but that's a massive part of B's charm, that beautifully unpretentious, completely unconventional, and wickedly unprecedented juxtaposition of emotion and "based" technique which makes for an undeniably compelling listen. If you're going to make one wildcard purchase this year, 'Rain In England' could be your most rewarding. Then again... Check the samples and make your own mind up!

They weren't lying. I thought it was ridiculous until about the 4th song, by which point B's unrelenting, bullheaded earnestness had won me over. It's like listening to a personal diary. Sometimes he's quite brilliant, other times he's a complete trainwreck. A lot of this album really is bizzare, particularly B's "singing" on "Love Is Strange" / "My Windowsill" and pretty much the entirety of "Earth's Medicine", in which B takes the metaphor of the world being sick to such literal extremes that it starts off as weird, then stupid, then actually kind of amazing, back to stupid. I don't think I've heard anything quite like this record, but it is real. All too real.
