Japandroids

I did something this past Sunday that I have not done in a while.

I bought a cd.

Crazy? I know, right.

Then something even crazier happened, I went to another store, and bought another cd. I went online to see how much just the digital version was without all the hassles of owning a physical copy, and it was $5 cheaper. wtf?

However, I really want to go back and own a couple more of these obnoxiously large filetypes. This makes me wonder how much actual physical space a digital recording occupies on my ipod.

The result of all these occurrences is my new ownership of a copy of the Japandroids album, Post-Nothing. My review will come soon.

Flying Lotus

I'm on an adventure through the experimentation of DJ's and electronica capabilities.

Flying Lotus keeps it real. I've read a lot of his interviews and apparently me and his music go way back to when Adult Swim had great transition music (which the show adopted from him way back when).

Here's his myspace. All his music is straight beats he concocted and it's considered Hip/Hop. Oh genres. I think if you've read me before, then you understand my reluctance to use genres, but I'm over it. Genres help me compare the sound to previous and more understood styles of music. So he's "hip-hop." Flying Lotus is also experimental/psychadelic, go figure. Most of the live sets are supposedly free-form. Meaning he creates an idea of what he wants to do before-hand and play his tracks and beats to cater to his liking as the set progresses. This results in a completely original live set every time he steps onto a new stage.

Performance Art? Why yes, that fits the definition.

So check out the track "Pickled" if you have stayed up into the night watching Adult Swim, and keep an eye out for Flying Lotus. Psychadelic hip-hop is hard to come by.
