Despite having copped several new albums last week, I remain 'meh'. Chrisette Michelle was good, but nothing mindblowing. Skull Gang was blah, Eminem plain sucked, and while Camron was inspired at points - it's nothing to write home about. And you know the shittiest part? I'd had really been waiting for these records to drop. I have this same experiance with movies all the time too.
Despite with these relative disappointments, there are a number of other records I am looking forward too.
Amy Winehouse - Say what you will about Amy Baby's drug wacked out lifestyle, Back to Black was a phenomenal disc. I've been waiting for something new since 2007. Hurry the fuck up Amy!
Modest Mouse - I was late on the MM bandwagon, but I made up for it with rabid fandom. Much like Amy, MM hasn't given me a studio worthy in a hot minute. I hear there is an EP upcoming in August, but until then, I'll be Satin In A Coffin.
Clipse - Road Till The Casket Drops - If the mixtape remixes are any indication, the album should be great. I'm talking hardbottomed knock and carefully exaggerated punchlines. Clipse isn't always 100% - but when they're on, they're on. (a lot like Cam). And if you still need proof, listen to Kind of A Big Deal. You'll be sold.
Rilo Kiley or Feist - Yeah, I know they are totally different, but either would be sufficient for another year. Perhaps RK, Feist's last disc is probably still sufficient for another year (that goes double for The Ting Tings). There are only so many albums I can overplay in a year.
The Cool Kids - When Fish Ride Bicycles - I'm sorry, I had to mention it. I'll shut up now!
That's all I got for today. What records are you waiting for?
the new Kurt Cobain solo album. new joint from Tupac. really pumped for the Jimi Hendrix / John Lennon collabo.
speaking of collabo's, Cam'ron and Mic Terror need to double up on a track. It would be savage.
