the cover ups, more drama than I could imagine
I'll get the to bottom of this Irish, if it's the last thing I do.

You're right actually. gafhop whatsapp chat has a strict code. If you're not a savage you're not allowed in. If you're not willing to eat booty, fuck cousins or fuck 6 month pregnant co-workers you not allowed in.

Who's the other MC? The one that sounds like Big Sean.
lmao that last part. Thank goodness my phone died recently. I'm not exposed to that evil.

Kanye West Joins The Weeknd During Coachella Performance
'Rumors' are circulating that he's gonna join Drake tonight with The Weeknd and perform the song that's supposed to be on SHMG.
We'll see. I doubt it tho.

Is Drake gonna kiss Kanye?
btw has Madonna responded to the kiss fiasco lol. I suppose any publicity is good publicity for her, but she has to feel some type of way about Drake's reaction.

That's what my brother heard at Coachella too. He'll be there for Drake's set.

apparently it comes with a digital download as well so it's probably "out there"
some songs on youtube
Streethawk: A Seduction
The album immediately stuck out as a more classic rock type album, sometimes reminiscent of Bowie for me. I feel it is a good record to start for our little collective listening bit it doesn't seem too harsh.. and it’s fantastic. The album does not have particularly complex instrumentation, but the moments build on top of each other into exploding crescendos or just welcome changes in typical structure. Some of these simple riffs were bits that would get stuck in my head when I first listened to the album, whistling them at work. These songs suit Dan Bejar’s off kilter voice and his great delivery. Every line is punctuated just right, or held for the perfect amount of time. On that note, I can definitely see some being turned off by his voice. He does have a high pitched voice that is a tad Bob Dylan-esque. Regardless, I personally feel his voice greatly improves the album with overwhelming passion and honesty.
One thing to make note of is that this is a positive, bright album. The themes here seem to be (?) about accepting your place in life or loving what you’re doing. Bejar writes like a poet and if you listen closely sometimes it leads to more confusion. Well it did in my case. There are allusions and words tied together that beg for close analysis. Regardless, there is quite a few of funny or emotionally resonant lines on first listen. One of the more interesting bits is when Dan Bejar continuously repeats “You got the spirit. Don’t lose the feeling” to finish off the song Bad Arts. This is a twist on Joy Division’s track Disorder where Ian Curtis sings, “I’ve got the spirit, lose the feeling”. I feel like that is a good point to sum up the album. In Disorder the man can’t live in this harsh world even though he has the true spirit of an artist (leading to suicide/death), whereas Bejar seems to be pleading not to give up despite everything. On a personal level this album really hit a good tone with me in a difficult stretch of life.
That’s all I have to say. Sorry if it’s a bit incoherent, but I wrote this after work. I’m really interested to see what some of you think. I realize it’s not the most obscure album, but regardless I thought it would be a fun one to talk about.
Destroyer is one of those bands that have a daunting discography that spans over a decade. I feel like that makes any band a bit tougher to recommend. I remember getting into them with their release in 2011 (Kaputt), I loved it but it took me a while to get around to some of their other albums. I went to Streethawk: A Seduction as my next step.

Interesting, haven't heard of the band, will check it out tuesday after exams are over. You should throw the cover up too eh
Also, to anyone that has listened to Monster, is Codeine Crazy indicative of the tone (production wise) of the mixtape or nah?

codeine crazy is a highlight of the tape but the tape has a bunch of different producers on it for variety.
Dizaster slams/fights another dude.
Not only does he look and act like a clown, but Billy Boondocks is a terrible rapper too. No sympathy after all that shit talk.
EDIT: Second angle of just the fight.

if anyone's interested, NPR did a really great interview with Hank Shocklee about The Bomb Squad, his approach to hip hop and other interesting subjects. Ali Shaheed Muhammad is the interviewer.

I'll never make fun of Stromae again.

It's mostly just Dan Bejar of New Pornographers doing his eccentric esoteric songwriting thing. Kind of reminds me of T. Rex and Donovan, but the lyrics are more out there and unpredictable.

Microphone Check is a great radio show. Will listen after work.
Nice post! will definitely give a listen
this dropped:
Meh

The fact that the 'fire' is directed towards Troy Ave makes this even more amazing.

Oh shit I thought it was coming in May. Buying this.
His string arrangement/jazz outro on Mortal Man is my favorite musical moment of the year. Painfully beautiful piece.
