GOOD MORNING BEA!! So this Thanksgiving break I am taking "resting" seriously. Especially after working my tail off this semester with organic chemistry and sociology (my sociology professor is incredibly boring [well, could also be the subject itself] and his only grades are tests which are hard af), traveling all over the place for regattas or visiting friends at other universities, trying to maintain my physique, a lack of sleep due to my busyness and stress with school, relationships, and general worrying for the future. So, I'm starting the day revisiting a Fly Lo record since I fell in love with Los Angeles yesterday. I plan on getting in one or few punk recs I requested, also revisiting 808s and Heartbreak since it's its anniversary today!
Onto this album. Currently listening to it on vinyl (which sounds stellar). Not as fluid as Los Angeles, but still retains the interstellar journey sound I always get from Flying Lotus. Fantastic part of my collection.
EDIT: Also, throw in Spaces by Nils Frahm in the to be listened to pile today. I will eventually get to the other ones when I feel like it... (feel asleep during Ballasted Orchestra last night...) _________________ ...and for dessert!
VMP announced their AOTM and of course I had to check it out. I really wished it was snowing outside... This album compliments perfect wintry weather, where the snow falls so gently it looks like it is suspended in the air, and a clean white blanket covers whatever the eye can see. Very gentle album, yet contains enough climactic moments to keep me interested. Very interest, that is.
Revisiting this album for this anniversary was totally worth it. So worth it, that it propelled itself to my second favorite Kanye album. Kanye at his minimum still delivers proudly. Each song has wonderful character to them and is a fantastic cohesive whole. And the fact that this album inspired some of my favorite albums in general (Take Care and Rodeo for example)... God damn, this one got me real good.

A legendary album in all sense of the phrase. Always great to revisit. A two hour journey from the inner spheres of the self to the outer spheres of the universe with all of the stars between. Forever will hold a special place in my heart. Thank you, Smashing Pumpkins.
Just got back from the hookah bar with some of my best friends. The joint had an excellent playlist with some Kanye, Drake, J Cole, Kendrick, and Future, plus some throwback hits I can't really remember off the top of my head. Got me very nostalgic and started listening to songs I jammed to back in 2010-2011.
Haven't really had the motivation to listen to a new album lately. I fell asleep during m83's Hurry Up, We're Dreaming, which demotivated me to listen to it again. Tomorrow, I gotta punch out a lab report, so I may listen to a jazz album or ambient album to get me rolling. _________________ ...and for dessert!
Not as beautiful as Virgins, not as breathtaking as Ravedeath, 1972. Some very cool textures, though.

I want to get to some recommendations soon, but I am having trouble searching for some of them, and I don't wanna download some stuff illegally. #lawabidingcitizen _________________ ...and for dessert!
This is probably the most relaxing Stars of the Lid album I've heard yet (I've only listened to Refine and Tired Sounds... Fell asleep during Ballasted Orchestra, which I will give another shot soon). Soothing sounds, plus I just love the cover art. I may purchase this on vinyl.
I have no idea why Kid Cudi keeps going down this road of twistedness. Depression? This is shitty. How does he even like his own music he is making? I don't think even a MOTM 3 follow up will save his career.
