Random Music Talk CXVII: Leaked Emails Show Hillary Likes Both Kanye & Taylor Swift

[Lancemc]

It's out!

 

[LemonMelon]

Between Untitled Unmastered, Endless and Emotion Side B, artists have really taken to releasing supplemental albums in 2016.

 

[Lancemc]

All for it.

All I want this year now is a surprise Grimes EP.

And Jay Electronica's album, but let's be real.

 

[lazarus]

Respect that CRJ didn't include any of the already-released outtakes, as good as some of them are (like Favorite Color).

 

[Lancemc]

Vince Staples' Prima Donna is streaming too and it good.

Friends, what's the weather like in Chicago in mid-April?

[Lancemc]

Still pretty chilly.

 

[martha]

45 degrees chilly?

 

[iron yuppie]

45 degrees chilly?

It varies wildly. One year over Spring Break it was 80 degrees; the next year it was in the 40s. Bet on somewhere in the 50s.

 

[Lancemc]

Maybe around the beginning though it tends to warm a bit my the time it hits May. Mid April might be mid 50s-ish

 

[martha]

Ah. I can handle that. Thanks!

ah, weather chat again. niiiiiiiiiice

"Real Friends" is the best song of 2016.

 

[Axver]

Hmm. No clear contender for best song of 2016 for me. I guess I'd probably say Cult of Luna & Julie Christmas, "The Wreck of SS Needle".

Some other major candidates for me:
- Memoryhouse, "Laney"
- Big Ups, "Capitalized"
- Rob Crow, "Red: Alone"
- The Hotelier, "Soft Animal"
- Nite Jewel, "Nothing but Scenery"
- Turnover, "Change Irreversible"
- Somos, "Reminded / Weighed Down"
- Yumi Zouma, "Short Truth"

So, lots of good songs but nothing that immediately screams "best damn thing of the year" like Grimes' "Flesh Without Blood" does for last year. It came on in the bakery yesterday and I had such a fucking hard time not making a dick of myself by having a big old dance.

 

[cobl04]

Listen to TLOP you cunt

 

[cobl04]

ax

 

[cobl04]

listening to Achtung Baby while overtired and drunk with half a bottle of wine left and work tomorrow was an extremely bad idea. I should stop.

 

[cobl04]

An even worse idea was watching One from ZooTV. I'm drowning in tears.

 

[cobl04]

Those fucking yak or whatever the fuck they are in the background, man. They're just two dumb shit animals having a fight. WHY IS IT SO POIGNANT. WHY DOES IT MAKE ME CRY SO FUCKING MUCH. WHY DOES IT FIT SO FUCKING PERFECTLY WITH ONE.

 

[Kieran McConville]

Best song of the year for me is 'Dollar Dollar' by PJ Harvey. There is no second place.

"Real Friends" is the best song of 2016.

Mitski: Your Best American Girl

Fuck yes. And Happy.

Also Chance - Angels and Frank - Nights

 

[Mack_Again]

I cant even think of best song of this year. But that Underworld album was surely nice. Haven't really liked not many songs from some Heavy rock/metal realm so I can't really comment.

 

[Joey788]

I have a few in contention so far:

David Bowie - I Can't Give Everything Away

Radiohead - Daydreaming

Mitski - Happy

Savages - Adore

Probably a few more I haven't thought of yet.

 

[lazarus]

Can't decide between two Rihanna songs: Love on the Brain or Higher.

 

[Lancemc]

Nah gotta go Side A re. Anti.

 

[lazarus]

Kiss It Better also in the running for sure.

 

[Lancemc]

Just really pleased to run into someone else as jazzed about that album as I am.
