  • If anyone digs Prince even a *little* bit, seriously check out Art Official Age and Hit N Run Phase Two if you haven't, especially Art Official Age, which is in my all time top 5 Prince albums. The artist went out doing some of his best work.

  • Studio version of Nwigwe's Jockin is the best new hip hop track I've heard for years. Probably since King Kunta.

    Were you a fan of his prior or was this the thing that got you into him?

    My album of the year fwiw is The Twilight Sad.


    I've also been listening to a lot of Frightened Rabbit as a friend of a friend knew Scott who took his life, sadly. Listening back to their stuff is a real heartache. I'll post my top 5 later, but it's predictable. Nick Cave is also there.
  • What kind of thing is The Twilight Sad? Have heard of them but haven't listened.

    So I have a bit of  a personal history with Twilight Sad, being friends of friends. That being said, I've told them an album was shite, so hopefully that provides you with a bit of a balanced world view. 

    They're kind of an Edinburgh band, founded in Kilsyth and Barnton, and iniitially wanted to do the sort of Mogwai / Smashing Pumpkins sort of guitar loudness. They did that well on their initial albums, and some of their first tracks are actually quite catchy in that sort of way - 


    Examples below - 


    I Became A Prostitute


    Cold Days From The Birdhouse

    That Summer I had Become The Invisible Boy


    For Best Songs - 

    Girl In The Corner from 2013



    They went there. 


    So get into them.
  • Thanks, will have a listen.

  • Listening to The Twilight Sad now. Just finished the first song. Yep, I like it. I especially like that the lead singer keeps his accent!

  • Yep, I really like those songs, especially Invisible Boy. Going to put their latest album on my Must Listen playlist! Thanks Reg and Tempy!
