It's summer, it's late at night so what about some relaxing brazilian song? I've been listening to the latest Mallu Magalhães album and it's really a feel good, somehow warm one. Her latest single, Sambinha Bom.

Finally got around to listening to Sharon Van Etten's "Tramp," which has been on my harddrive since its release on Amazon. I am in love with this record. It's uplifting, it's haunting, and it's everything I was looking for this Summer. Spinning this album at the end of a long day makes everything feel right.

So fucking good. Brings me back about ten years and this is their new shit. Been driving to it for the past few days.

What took you so long, saw her live right after I got my album, fell in love ever since...I even got to talk to her for a little, while everyone else was just trying to get her autograph.
Never heard of them

Re-visting Tool's entire discography. Love how even the old stuff still holds up.
Revolutionary punk band in the 70s, they only had one real album, but this album is one of the best albums in the history of music.

Sophmore slump my ass.
I'm pretty sure Des was joking...

Some recent Amazon MP3 purchases. Hmm, by the looks of things, I've been on a downtempo diva kick. Oh well, that's how it breaks sometimes.

Has anyone heard the new album? Been putting off checking it out. I've read some positive things about it but I'm on the fence since I hated That What is Not. I can't believe it's been 20 years.

Ooh thanks for this. First time I saw it being used I thought someone had just gone to the effort of making a collage and typing out the info.
New Passion Pit is meh.
I liked the Dirty Projectors LP more than Bitte Orca. (the only other album I've listened to)
Having not heard any other Twin Shadow I didn't think it was that bad.
Listening to A Tribe Called Quest for the first time ever, bumping my head constantly.
Lots of stuff, but I just want to pimp two that are on heavy rotation right now.
John Frusciante - Letur-Lefr
He hasn't put out anything for a couple of years, and this is effectively a teaser for his next album which is out in a couple of months (although none of this EP is on the album). It's his first project where computers were used in it's production, it has an edging towards hip-hop, and features a few guests including RZA. I really like it, can't wait for the album.
Inara George - An Invitation
Van Dyke Parks co-wrote SMiLE by the Beach Boys, my second favorite album of all time, he arranged and co-produced Ys by Joanna Newsom, my favorite album of all time, and he made his own album, Song Cycle, which is certainly one of the best of all time (at the time, it was also the most expensive ever made). This is another album he was heavily involved in, and another that leaves me weak at the knees. Inara George is better known as half of The Bird and the Bee, and while I do like their quirky material, this album is remarkable, it's charming, and lush without being overwrought or self indulgent. Wonderful album.

Lately I've been listening to all the great Nine Inch Nails albums, which if course are:
Pretty Hate Machine
Broken
The Downward Spiral
The Fragile
Plus:
Sweet Trip - You Will Never Know Why

Damnit Bombcast! How did you get in there? I really hate how last.fm will scrobble a podcast multiple times if you stop and start it.
Ghoul - Psychoplasm
Ghoul - Cult of the Hunter
Toots & The Maytals - I See You
Toots & The Maytals - Love's Gonna Walk Out On Me
There aren't any uploads of the new remastered Watchtower album on YouTube so you're stuck with the old barely audible versions:
Watchtower - The Eldritch
Watchtower - Mayday in Kiev
It'd take forever to go through with covers and such, so I'll just list them. I'm in a huuuuuuuuuuuuuge electronic music phase at the moment. LOVING it.
Skrillex:Banarang EP. It's pretty light on the bro-step. Probably my favorite ep of his, where the last one went pretty all the way bro-stepy.
Deadmau5:.....recent singles (HR 8938 Cephai, Aural Psynapse, Maths, Where Are My Keys, The Veldt). Awesome stuff.
Fiona Apple: Idler Wheel. First album of hers I've ever heard, and shes a genius. Amazing lyrics, sung with unbelievable emotion and power. Damn. Love this album.
XXXY: Everything EP. This guy has a major talent with sampling vocals over awesome music. Sure, it seems to be all he can do, but damn if it isn't amazing. (I Know This) Can't Be Love is an instant classic. Song of the year so far, but of course I could be forgetting lots.
AraabMuzik: Electronic Dream Deluxe Edition. Lots of different electronic styles paired with hip-hop-y beats. Good stuff.
Metric: Synthetica. Killer, killer album. Not a single weak track. Speed the Collapse and the TT are easily among their bests.
Lone: various singles (Pinapple Crush, 2 remixes of that, Once in a While, Raptured, Angel Brain). Such a great style, and PC is another classic. Dat hook.
Gil Scott Heron and Jaime XX: We're New Here. Heron has some good lyrics/singing, but I'm really here for Jaime XX. That man is a genius, and I'd love for him to put out some solo stuff after the new XX album. This album is really good, but I feel like it'd be better if Jaime did his own this, with all due respect to Heron.
Blawan: Long Distance Open Water Worker. One of the absolute top producers around (only under Scuba and possibly Jaime XX for me, unless I'm forgetting again...), and this EP rocks. Soooooooooooooooooooooooooo dirty and grungy barely dance music. It kind of hits the same note the whole time though, nothing poppier or dancier to be found here, but fuck it.
Scuba: Aeusaunic EP. I love Scuba, but I feel he reached his genius level with the Adrenaline EP, then went even further with his recent Personality LP (these two are some of my absolute favorites, with Personality reaching into my favorite albums list. I'd be shocked if something came out to beat that as my AOTY). The earlier stuff is still good however! And you can hear a clear improvement with A Mutual Antipathy->Aesaunic EP->Triangulation (I'll leave out all the non-album singles and such). This sounds more like Triangulation, which is great. Best two songs are Flesh is Weak and Symbiosis, which rank with his best.

I just discovered the Italian pianist Ludvico Einaudi. «Nuvole Bianche» is probably the most beautiful thing I've heard in a very long time.

Change your settings to only scrobble a track once you've played it more than halfway through.
