Ninja, where you been?
yo, so i'm back. where've i been? who knows. after the race, time just passed... but we're gonna get things rolling again. How about we kick things off with a rebirth version of Sounds. This might be long; its been awhile. But it will be worth it, there are some discs here that you've just gotta go out and buy (or otherwise).
Stephen Fretwell - Magpie. If you like Damien Rice or David Gray or music in general, do not hesitate... get this album. The standout track is apparently "Emily"... but this is an album. spin from start to finish > repeat.
Wolf Parade - Apologies to the Queen Mary. Again, just get it. Its Montreal ok? If you've gotta sample one song, 'Grounds For Divorce' or 'I'll Believe Anything' will win you over, and then you will want it all.
The London Apartments - Romanticism Aside. Ok, so, its not really London... its Windsor Ontario. And it sounds like it was recorded in a bedroom, while hiding under a bed. But, if you stop, and listen, you'll hear that an entire sonic world lives under that bed... sort of like Sigur Ros, but less soaring and more fragile vocals. I love this album.
Bright Eyes - Digital Ash in a Digital Urn. A few years ago, I listened to Fevers&Mirrors, and found it sort of weird. Everyone was saying how prolific Conor was, but I just wasn't feelin' it. So when the twin albums "Digital..." and "I'm Wide Awake Its Morning" came out this year, i resisted the urge to try them out. Screamer sent me "Digital..." and I am hooked. This is The Cure for the new millenium. "Easy/Lucky/Free" reminds of a re-worked "Jupiter Crash"... "Arc of Time (Time Code)" reminiscent of "Caterpillar'. very very good disc.
Mama Cass Elliot - Make Your Own Kind Of Music. Yeah, i am a LOST kid. The hook hooked me. I already let Fresno know about this, but, this song is the next big hip hop sample. Tear it down, mash it up. I won't even ask for royalties. Just remember, when you hear the next bangin Kanye or Jay Z track, and it drops Mama... you heard it from a ninja.
Dre - Another Casualty. Had to get back into the Dre vibe. After the songwriter kick a few weeks back, this is a natural progression. Another record you should try to get from cdbaby.
The Clientele - Strange Geometry. This is worth a repost... way back, i jumped the gun and raved about "Since K Got Over Me". As Pitchfork pronounced, K must've been some chick, as she got two songs on the record. But the true gem made itself known to me, via the iPod's genius late night shuffling. "Losing Haringey" is the hidden masterpiece on here. brilliant.
off to bury my head in javascript. i broke something, and must fix it. before the folk singer kills.
look deep into the soul of a ninja. you think you see nothing. you're looking at the universe.
