get up? or get down?

Gorkys_Forever | 6 Mar '13, 20:21 | X | ^ This | Reply
- Up, always up.
  
  But really, you've got to get down. Punks jump up to get beat down, after all.

Big yourself up, shot of confidence, mentally prepare for a major life event. Psychological boost if you like.

anal_schwarzenegger | 6 Mar '13, 23:19 | X | ^ This | Reply
- Been all over the place recently
  
  outside of the usual slathering of rap/r&b.
  
  Ive been into:
  
  Peter Gabriels first four solo albums
  
  Otis Redding - Love Man (I love love love his voice and when he does his looooo-ooo-ooo-ooo-ooove
  and neeeeee-eee-eee-eee-eee-eeed with it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8Ga3Ub4UTM)
  
  Bark Psychosis - Hex
  
  Carly Rae Jepsen - the whole album is awesome fuiud
  
  Morphine - I think they're my favorite 90s band
  
  Naughty By Nature - first four albums are classic, very underrated group, could balance a ton of styles, Treach is a great emcee
  
  The Sea and Cake - all their 90s stuff satisfies my indie itch. good musicians
  
  Don Ellis - crazy time signatures off the wall big band jazz stuff
  
  Can - the Lost Tapes just started diving into these on my commutes to work
  
  Devin Townsend - Spent about 3 hours watching live videos on youtube the other night, dude is ridiculously entertaining
  
  Mala In Cuba - Just to make Jimi happy
  
  Lots of Isley Brothers, Prince, Stevie Wonder, Steely Dan, Roisin Murphy, Janet Jackson
  
  Then Ive been kinda diving into some acoustic-post-fahey-folk type of stuff which can all be found in this playlist I made: http://open.spotify.com/user/theshipment/playlist/2WNjL5jGiUHaSu5CFkN9Xg really liking john renbourn atm
  
  And then connecting with my emo-punk-pop roots with this playlist:
  http://open.spotify.com/user/theshipment/playlist/1lMZYcnV14rh6uuHELXUxr
  really liking that Funeral For a Friend record
  
  And metal from last year
  http://open.spotify.com/user/theshipment/playlist/6bvNdNXVQgr9uBwPVnumaF
  
  I've also been slowly chipping away at my 2012 hip-hop playlists so I can share those here soon within the next few weeks. So much good stuff.

    some good stuff up there. I've never actually heard any Morphine. would probably dig them though. probably will check out some Naughty by Nature stuff too (not a fan of their name though)

        there's definitely an influence of minimalism and drone in there
        
        probably some indian music as well given the titles
        
        I guess when they became International Harvester, Harvester and Trad, Gras och Stenar, they became more 'normal' rock, though still with some lengthy repetitive songs and some droney stuff
        
        anyway it's great whatever you call it

- 1. Cos I like music and dont have too many people to talk music with extensively irl. And it can be fun.
  2. Music about 96% of the time. Dont care to talk about soccer.
  3. I have a really big google reader list of blogs I check. At the moment its Thizzler on the Roof, Fader, Spin and livemixtapes that I check the most
  4. Tough to narrow it, different users for different things but really I like anyone who explains why they like what they like, even if they're taste doesn't align with mine.
  5. Havent ever lost to my wife cos she cheats every time, so thats like probably 25 in a row.

    tbh I'm not a big fan of the series. I think between the four you could really make a quality 45-60 minute mix of the best stuff and that would suffice. The idea was there but sometimes it just doesnt work. I think the format showcases Guru's flaws too often.

  its usually the worst thing in the world but once in a while it hits the spot.
  
  Big and Rich 'SAve a horse ride a cowboy' is too ridiculous to hate. Also 'She Thinks My Tractors Sexy'.
  
  Truth be told though, Garth Brooks 'Fences' was one of the first tapes I ever bought, went halves with my older sister. Cant even begin to front on 'Friends in Low Places'.

What did you answer to me mean?

Do you actually think I'm gonna click on some link you give me? Just answer me, lady to lady.

theintl | 8 Mar '13, 08:32 | X | ^ This | Reply
- The answer is in that link, it's very simple and quick to click it.
  
  In the amount of time it took you to write another response you could have already had the answer.
  
  So now what I'll do is link you to the interview so you can be one click closer to your answer:

As someone who culturally grew up listening to lame indie music and was ideologically against 'that rap and hip-hop stuff',

but who wants to atone and is interested in expanding his horizons, what are the five records I should listen to so I can banish those prejudices for good? The only hip-hop album I currently own is It Takes a Nation of Millions, which I don't listen to very often to be honest. But I like 99 Problems and Yonkers.

- Oooooh tough,
  
  I've only got five albums to hook you. This is hard.
  
  * Wu-Tang Clan - Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)
  * Outkast - Aquemini
  * Snoop - Diggystyle
  * UGK – Ridin’ Dirty
  * Notorious BIG - Ready To Die

    theShipment @theShipment | 13 Mar '13, 20:41 | X | ^ This | Reply
  - 36 Chambers cos of the grime mixed with nine hungry/unproven no-name rappers
    
    carving out a place in rap history.
    
    Aquemini for the experimentation in production, the memorable hooks and having the best song ever recorded, SpottieOttieDopaliscious
    
    Snoop cos its hella fun. One of the best voices and personalities in rap.
    
    UGK cos you need a deep south funk filled slapper of a record. Outkast are from the south but they didnt play to their roots much the further along in their careers they went.
    
    Notorious cos he is the best.
    
    theShipment @theShipment | 13 Mar '13, 20:57 | X | ^ This | Reply
    - Cheers! Will investigate.
      
      Have wanted to give 36 Chambers a blast for a while. Not sure about Snoop, not sure I get off so much on 'funky' stuff but should give it a chance. Been meaning to give Illmatic a spin too after seeing threads calling it the best hip hop album ever. Plenty to get stuck into!
