I usually ave sound off while playing DF but the looping them really is a nice piece of music.

 

[Variant3]

You guys ever listen to Andrew Jackson Jihad? I just picked up on them last week and am really enjoying their stuff. 

 

This is probably their most popular song.

 

 

 

Also just thinking about the logistics of that OKGO video make my brain hurt.

[Mawd]

I don't think I've heard this for at least ten years. Groove Armada is the shit though.

To the A

To the N to the G to the heeeeeeeey

You need a bad girl to blow your mind

This is a tuuuuune: imaginary sketches of a poisoned man by voices

I don't think many rap groups come with a brass section these days.

Ever since I heard this song on Breaking Bad, if anyone every mentions money, I sing this in my head.

[Bolegium]

A bit obsessed with FKA Twigs right now (like everyone else apparently).

 

Listened to a bit of clipping. for the first time.

I remembered this Handsome Family quote earlier and have been listening to them all evening:

"Ah, Scotland, your dark beauty is only heightened by the Absinthe for sale at Tesco"

 

 

If they sound familiar, it's probably because they did the theme song for True Detective. I can't find a non-live version on Youtube, but Up Falling Rock Hill is one of the most beautiful songs they've done.

[Thyroid]

The Arab world has been producing interesting music for the past few years. Here's a list of good indie artists if anyone cares. I myself have already listened to just about half of these, and encourage you to try all.

 

If anyone wants me to translate lyrics to a song, just ask. If I don't reply, PM me.

 

And hey, some Arabic music I like:

Yasmine Hamdan

Hayajan (trans. "Frenzy")
Alaa Wardi also performs solo; I've met him, and he's a pretty nice guy, so I'm a bit extra enthused to share this:

[Thyroid]

I guess the forums don't allow more than two YouTube videos simultaneously, so.

 

Rum:

 

Mashrou' Leila (trans. "A Night's Project" or "Laila's Project"):

ZUPER

 

This track is particularly zuper.

[Blambo]

[Bolegium]

Yasmine was great in Only Lovers Left Alive too.

More clipping.

 

Also recently came across this track by Chrysta Bell and David Lynch. Don't know how I didn't hear of this earlier.

[Nachimir]

This is an incredibly rad cello and chip piece which you'll probably enjoy if you enjoy Steve Reich:

Apparently PSY - Gangnam Style got so many views on YouTube that it can't be stored in a (signed 32-bit) integer anymore (~2,147,483,647)

[BadHat]

Aw dag, new Cloudkicker album. I really like the production on this one.

 

[Stuart]

My favorite off of one of this year's best albums (or at least, rap albums).

 

 

Also, Gangsta Boo's verse on this one (SUPER EXPLICIT SEXUAL LYRICS ON THIS ONE):

Some damn fine techno:

I don't have GTA V, and found it through this Jon Hopkins Radio 1 mix:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04p24ht

It's well worth tracking down if you can't access that due to country restrictions or it being more than a month since it aired or whatever.
