So apparently Busta Rhymes dropped the sequel to The Dragon and The Abstract at the end of 2015 but it's gotten surprisingly little press or attention. Haven't seen anyone mention it here, not even on his Wikipedia discography, but features everyone - DOOM, Chance, Jadakis, Raekwon, Mary J Blige, Sean Paul, Wizard Khalifa, Rick Ross, Gucci Mane, and others. The skits are kind of long and not that funny or interesting but the album itself is kinda great

I recently got the latest Micachu and the Shapes, Good Sad Happy Bad and can't stop playing it. It's another set of abstraction/experimental 2-minute pop distortions that charmed me with their first record, Jewellery, back in 2009. Great stuff, very fun to listen to, and will probably make my top 5 this year.

this new balam acab album starts off in sorta familiar territory for him but really seems to turn into a different beast altogether around the halfway point. cool stuff.

Leaked Demos 2006 by Brand New

The Leaked Demos leaked. Of course.

Anyways, yeah, this is pretty damn cool. Some more significant improvements on some tracks than I was expecting, though they barely touched this version of Yeah (Sowing Season). I think this version of Fork and Knife is the same as the one that was already released? I'll need to relisten to each. That being said, is this the version of Brothers from the Jesus single? Don't own that single and it's sort of hard to find. 1996 is definitely really Morrissey-esque, I think that may have been the direction this album was headed before it was leaked, if you check out some of the live versions of the stuff of Deja from around that time, especially from TV performances, Jesse tries super hard to sound like Morrissey. Interesting to see what could have been if TDAG wasn't. My tape is still in the mail, can't wait to check this out though.

oh, the fork & knife is the original version -- not the previously released version with the "wolf is in your kitchen" bit.

If I've Only One Time Askin' by Daniel Romano

Likely the best country album released this year. Reminiscent of the greats. Fantastic songwriting and sound. And a damn awesome album cover.

To Where The Wild Things Are by Death And Vanilla

Reminds me of a cross between Silver Apples and Broacast, so pretty damn heavenly psych.

It was quite nice 😄 It was a really nice indie rock record, with some great guitar work. Good job on the actual recording and mixing as well.

I remember listening to their previous record (the one with the goose on the cover... I forget what it's called) and I thought it was quite good as well. Certainly a nice band to have on your roster :)

Thanks dude. glad you enjoyed it

Recent returns to Panda Bear and Bjork's latest albums really clicked. But I also found some other stuff that deserves major attention.

Nyanza by Owiny Sigoma Band

Extraordinary electro/afro funk from Kenya.

Headache by Trupa Trupa

Coming out of Poland. One of the best psych records in recent memory. Syd Barrett era Floyd goes fully hypnotic.

Bleaksploitation by Katie Von Schleicher

Blue eyed soul slowed way down into a sort of gloomy doom pop

By The Sea... And Other Solitary Places by Annabel (lee)

Somber atmospheric trip hop

Thumbs by Busdriver

Just another act of brilliance from an abstract hip hop god
