What I'm listening to today: "Ha", Juvenile
This one's a classic of Dirty South hip-hop, a truly foundational work. If you feel this you will Feel it and I won't need to explain it to you. If you don't feel it, try to think of this as a *historical document*. Here is a narration of being a drug dealer in the late 90s (what is a "triple beam", and what is it for?) and a video which is basically a documentary time capsule of pre-Katrina New Orleans. Entirely unreplicable.
What I'm listening to today: "Two riders down", caroline
I love electronic music because there is so much attention to timbre. I love "indie rock" for the same reason, indie rockers love sounds, they just focus on the sounds of strings and cassette tape and echoey rooms instead of circuitry.
This is that *good* Athens, Georgia sound, which is weird since it's from the UK. A room full of sad, angry folk musicians hitting their instruments and crying with joy. Sprawling
