It's pretty clear Born This Way is a direct nod to Express Yourself.

Although Gaga remixes the past, I still her more refreshing than the other pop acts.

Flying Lotus is good but overrated. May be Coltrane's nephew but eh. Still, his album last year was a pretty solid electro album and amongst one of the best of last year, personally.

Popped into my head this morning and I actually really dig this song as a pop tune.

It's remarkable, really. No matter what trance-ish electronica you start out with, at some point the Youtube recommendations WILL show a Blümchen track.

I live too close to Germany, that has got to be it.

Oh well, not the same nostalgia trip as Westbam, but close to it

Heh, haven't heard this one in a while. Probably one of the first MP3s I've ever downloaded

I've been on an oldskool trance kick today, listened to a great mix submitted into this DJing competition I've taken part in (not mine tho, I had to make a psy mix and I botched it up

).

Robo · « **Reply #3202 on:** February 15, 2011, 12:46:24 AM »

The Flaming Lips released this crazy Zaireeka-esque thing on Youtube this morning. 12 individual parts intended to be played simultaneously.

It's called "Two Blobs Fucking".

Perfect mix:

It's more interesting if they're out of sync.

After listening to it twice, I don't believe you actually listened to it and you're just spouting stupid scarf talking points.

It's more like Digital Ash, Desaparecidos and old school Bright Eyes than the Americana stuff he's been doing lately.

Uh, they released it.
It's another big shift for Radiohead. I like it though it's not like I've had a lot of time with it.

I think we'll get another album this year judging by the amount of material they've been working on that isn't on here. It think it will be more traditional.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #3217 on:** February 18, 2011, 10:12:29 AM »

listen listened to that video; pretty good song

Will download later today/tonight. Some of the impressions on GAF so far seem less about actually liking the music and more about not being That Guy who doesn't "understand" a Radiohead album

I'd be shocked if BN's review doesn't boil down to "not my favorite Radiohead album but sounds like a grower. There's nothing catchy and it's short but maybe that's the intellectual point of it, ya know?"

patrickula · « **Reply #3218 on:** February 18, 2011, 10:54:24 AM »

I don't think Thom is actually bored here... it's a stylistic choice. This is the closest they've gotten to the kind of music he seems most into.

i like it so far, though i'm not in love with it after my first listen like in rainbows.

some tracks are downright amazing, with a few having a bit of what i loved in life in a glasshouse mixed with a direction i wanted radiohead to have taken since kid a.

Deal with what? The album being a "grower"?

I find it hilarious when people don't like an album and call it a grower to save themselves from saying what they really think. 90% of the time, the album in question isn't anywhere near as complex as something that needs to grow on you should be.

Embryonic was a grower.

This album is just boring.

expectations are an amazing thing. it's not hard to understand why they might say it's a "grower".

eitherway, who gives a fuck?

Quote from: mojovonio on February 18, 2011, 11:39:04 AM

Because their expectations weren't met, they now have to lower them to accept this new album? I don't get what you're trying to say.

I was looking forward to it because I know Radiohead has a great album in them, but they have to get over this Eraser-like bullshit. Its played out. Again, I wasn't crazy about In Rainbows but I absolutely love All I Need. It was an incredibly well structured and well performed piece. So I know Radiohead CAN do it, they're just not.

I just feel like people are afraid to really express their lukewarm feelings about it by calling it a grower. The last 6 months have been incredible for music and this just really doesn't stack up at all.

there is nothing eraser about this album?

anyhow, my expectations still get the best of me when listening to Fugazi's The Arguement. it still freaks me out that it's so fucking reserved nearly a decade later. i know their is a great album there, but i keep expecting tracks like Turnover, Do You Like Me and Public Witness Program.

your problem is that you just don't like Radiohead. sorry bro.

I'm with you guys on this. I still like Radiohead, but they're not the same band. They've become a little too self-indulgent and the fanbase refuses to question it.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #3227 on:** February 18, 2011, 01:47:04 PM »

What's self indulgent about In Rainbows? It's a pretty standard album. I suppose I could understand the argument concerning HTTT, which is still a good album despite some ridiculous mis-steps

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #3228 on:** February 18, 2011, 01:51:50 PM »

I thought In Rainbows was a return to form of great rock. Dunno what you guys are talking about. Radiohead has never been one entity. They change from album to album. Compare Pablo Honey to The Bends to Ok Computer to Kid A. Totally different.

Listening to this for when I go to the airport.

Mojo: I think Amnesiac receives a lot of illegitimate hate. I think Amnesiac is the best homework album ever. In college, I'd throw on Amnesiac and go at it like a zombie. It's also a beautiful album to fall asleep to, with eyes closed.

Hail to the Thief is average, I agree.

But In Rainbows was a great album. I don't see the problem with it.

patrickula · « **Reply #3232 on:** February 18, 2011, 02:04:03 PM »

From my perspective, In Rainbows is pretty much what you're asking for mojo. I guess there are too few guitar solos and Thom doesn't sing exactly the same way he used to?

Radiohead is not the same band they used to be... they don't want to be. They might be able to churn out the same stuff you loved over and over but it wouldn't be new anymore, and they probably wouldn't enjoy it (or even be a band anymore). You can still listen to their old albums if that's all you want to hear from them.

By the way I listened to this in the car while driving around just now... it definitely seems like an album that needs either a lot of volume or a quiet environment to get much out of some of the songs (mostly the first half), because the details are lost.

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #3233 on:** February 18, 2011, 02:04:38 PM »
