  1. Loved this track enough when I first heard it to buy the LP. Cool record. An eclectic mix of soulful house, hip hop and chillout/ambient. 3 or 4 tracks incl that single on there hit me hard. Sundrenched, rootsy, lazy but intricate goodness with world flavors and timelessness. Gotta say I was biased a but though, debuting it on headphones while on a cruise ship, top deck near the pool over the Atlantic, just sublime.

    Lol, how does he sleep at night?

    Estranged from his wife.
    Next to a cold cheeseburger and empty Diet Coke cans.

    In the dark with the glowing rays of Fox news & Twitter casting throughout a cold and lonely white house master suite. Accidentally texting the wrong Sean (Spicer instead of Hannity), longing for those GOP golf outtings back when people weren't such morons, dreaming of the wall, knowing better days are ahead... As he drifts to sleep, voices from within call out "You're a killer Donny, ruler of New York, you got this. Build it and they will come. Build. The. Wall."

    Yeah from what I've been gathering the way this went down is unprecedented and also given this Syria/Afghan withdraw on a whim (+ govt shutdown), all just so he can save money for his wall. This is nuts. If we were ever vulnerable to be attacked by lone wolves/nutcases or betrayed by allies etc. it's now.

     

    Also I put on some old timey neo con trumpism am talk radio show in the car on my way home today (since my city has no talk shows on terrestrial that aren't the above demographics), and even those guys are pretty shocked and freaked out about Mattis stepping down and the rest of the events. White nationalists seem to be the only ones celebrating lol.

    that abundance track is fuckin lush

    Ending just hits me out of nowhere every single time I put it on. Serious skills, like he's taken the greatest pads out of the SAW 85-92 era, the greatest melody out of the HAB era, the greatest drum programming out of the Drukqs era, and the greatest bass work out of the Syro/Cheetah era and just whacked them all into a few minutes, making this new amazing post-Aphex Twin concoction that sounds super new/innovative but super old/familiar at the same time, giving it this timeless aesthetic which really to me is the perfect way to progress his sound. He couldn't be more generous putting all of my favourite bits of his wide discography into some new masterpieces and letting us hear it, I feel spoiled, Emotion is off the charts aswell, so so so serene and melancholic. Great track.

    This is exactly how I feel about abundance too. Cheers!

  5. I found this absurd bone thugs cover in some other thread on here a while back and I don't know what it is about it, but I found it oddly relaxing and serene to play on my phone at almost inaudible volume while on the verge of sleeping in bed. Helps if you see the swirl of colors from their giant shirts and slowly dancing on the rooftop from the corner of your drowsy eyes. It's like some strange surreal trip back to 2001 on a highschool bus trip to catalina island over night and jocks in the back with hilfiger shirts are throwing shit at some nerdy kids while you try to catch sleep but can't.

     

  6. Grimey underground trap is like the hip hop equivalent of punk rock the more and more I see / hear it. Bratty, youthful, charged and breaking convention for what the genre used to be about. As much as the whole style itself bothers me, it seems to carry a particular spiritual energy that resonates with the youngest generation. I see it as far from rap/hip hop actually, almost unrelated... Rap tropes of course and some of the rhythms but even the personalities are in their own space. It's like an ambient / folk movement for hip hop / r&b. I see a lot of the same shallow thoughtless content/lyrics, but I also see a number of people doing more artistic left field approaches with it that absolutely would have never seen the light of day circa-xzibit / g unit / eminem times. Interesting evolution for the genre, though I still can't stomach most of it lol and prefer me some Wu Tang or Roots or Pac any day.

    I think I'd prefer the traditonal fake pretentious Hollywood. We're headed for 1984 and beyond.

    Since around the time of WW2, h**wood is a propaganda machine. 1984 is well here. If anything, we're headed for Blade Runner 2049.

    Yeah I guess same old propaganda whether it's Walmart/Amazon or Warner/Universal

  8. Reading this article made it dawn on me that Fortune 10 companies are the new Hollywood.

     

    It's already Amazon, Walmart (who I had no idea owns Vudu) and Netflix. Next Apple, Google, Facebook.
