Baroness - Blue Record [2009]

So like I got this a few weeks ago from a buddy who got the leak and then let it sit on my desktop to marinate for about two weeks. I listened to it today, and boy is it awesome. The Blue Record much more Mastodon-y and hard hitting than the stuff on the Red Album, the Record is much more than 10-15 standalone tracks like their previous material was ATMO. This album is definitely in my interests considering I spent the last week or two listening to Cave In (and Project Pat).

Mad stars.

Eero Johannes - S/T

Stumbled upon (but not Stumbleupon'd) this album today. Finnish robot Eero Johannes' self titled album is chock full of fucking wacky sugary electro-R'n'B. It has interesting little hints of Prince, 90's R'n'B, modern electro, and even some dubstep and breakbeat sort of stuff. Eero Johannes also shares some tonal and rhythmic themes with Prodigy, Alter Ego, Flying Lotus, and Simian Mobile Disco. It's all a little silly but it has a full body and a certain funkiness. I was going to recommend a few tracks but I can't decide which ones I like the most. Think "Clock" by Simian Mobile Disco if it were played by Prince.

Check out Eero Johannes' MySpace and buy it on vinyl if you really like it.

Fast bike

Excuse the risers on this one, I've been having back problems lately. This bike makes me so happy, mad light and the ride is pretty plush considering it's a stiff as fuck aluminum frame. I really like the Omnium crankset too since it's pretty convenient to lose the crank puller. Only issue is the aftermarket Soma Rush fork has cheap wet paint that is quickly chipping away, so not fresh.

Tiny Hawks

Fingers Become Bridges is a kick ass album. Tiny Hawks are a math rock-y two piece from Providence. Think math rock with some midwest emo and post-hardcore thrown in. Shouted and non-shouted vocals, awesome drum playing, and sweet guitar.

Benga - Newstep [2006]

This is a great example of older dubstep, deep-housy-bassliney electronica. There are a couple hard hitters on the album but it's mostly chilled out stuff. Definitely worth a listen if you like bassline, deep house, or the dubstep that's getting popular now.
