Oh, come on. My grandmother and her friends do that stuff all the time, right down the to the diss tracks all over Youtube. I mean, sure, they don't get as many Likes as Megan's diss tracks, but that's probably because they mostly get upset about really trivial stuff like borrowing each others' Depends™ out of the linen closet at the nursing home and not returning them.
Then again, I don't know whether or not Nicki Minaj lives in a nursing home — it's possible, since she's probably had a lot of work done.
Your grandmother and her friends perform vulgar acts and perform vulgar songs on national TV?!
fans of jeff buckley, this one is for you. gary lucas, who wrote the guitar parts for mojo pin and grace, collaborates with yass body, a phenomenal singer in his own right. some of the magic lucas kindled with buckley is here. _________________ follow me on the bandcamp.

Well not in person, obviously — they've got all the latest AI-powered video and audio rendering software, so it's all completely automated. The important thing is the beef.
This Sentries album is the best thing I've heard in 2024 so far. Canadian noise/post-hardcore. Great album cover. Would recommend to anyone interested in noisy rock.
Alrighty— 6 cuts from the first quarter you should hear—

Antología 1: Obras Para La Orque... Prudencio
Comp / my current #1 for the year— Bolivian avant-garde Andean compositions— sonically unique and offers some wonderfully hypnotic structures— instruments include: "(sikus, tarkas, mohoceños, pinkillos, wankaras, seeds, drums, etc.)"

Schall / Rechant by Horacio Vaggione
Sticking in experimental South America, anyone who's ever worked in the recording process should appreciate this— Argentina, electro-acoustic experimental arrangements— the mix on this is insane / tidal wave of textures— somewhere between floating through space itself and something so simple as sitting on a beach and watching sand slip through your fingers— it's beautiful work— (mastery, wizardry, etc).

Aap Ka Number Hai? by Talib Trio
The latest release from the very exciting Pakistani label Honiunhoni, Talib Trio whip up some excellently dynamic Hindustani classical with experimental/hand-made/custom instruments. Recorded only earlier this month on a rooftop in Karachi, the sound engineered here is so flush and full yet... free? The plate is so human... air-like. Almost like photography in golden hour. Really graceful presentation.

Voice Memos From A Winter In China by Mary Sue
Some Rap Songs-era-Earl-esque/inspired, Singapore's Mary Sue's sophomore effort is gritty, slick, depressing, cold, severe, sharp... isolation, surrounded by millions. Beats are stellar.

Quintela by Carme López
Turning away from experimental compositions, we veer towards the more mainstream concept of Galician bagpipe drone. Coming straight from that nub-bit in western Spain people always ignore, Lopez drops absolute fire club-thumping bangers for all your upcoming ragers. Think Pauline Oliveros.

Akaline by Abdoulaye & Ahmoudou
Buried in a bizarre concept double-cassette release with Koltun (Slavic Jewish folk, ish) via Purplish Records (new to the game), Akaline deserves a spotlight— Ahmoudou (who you may know from Mdou Moctar (rhythm guitar), Les Filles De Illighadad, the Zerzura soundtrack, or perhaps his songs on that recorded-on-cellphones-in-the-Sahara series) partners with his brother to make some really great Tuareg— A-game material, right up there with Tamikrest, Tinariwen, Etran de L'Aïr, the aforementioned Moctar, etc— the punchy production makes for a great vibe. He'll also be on Mdou Moctar's latest release in a few weeks.
(Also, can this thread be pinned?— sad to see the current-year thread pushed so many pages back).
