BigSqwert Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 First techno show I've been to in ages, Saw Mistress Barbara at Smart Bar. Pretty good set. Technically flawless but track selection was about a 7 out of 10. Was impressed that she actually spun 100% vinyl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milkman delivers Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 I think I'm the only person my age who basically doesn't like any new stuff. I like something around 1 in 100 of the new songs I hear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Critic Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I'm enjoying the latest disc from The Cure, "4:13 Dream". The Cure's stuff doesn't vary much from disc to disc, but the melodies are catchy and I've always like Robert Smith's whiny voice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a horrible album, but it's not what people are used to out of Common. Hence, this is gonna get horrible reviews. Yet, if Kanye does something out of the ordinary...people praise it. Funny how that works.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in mind that Kanye’s working with some really good producers. Jon Brion might just be a musical genius, and while it was an unorthodox choice it was a good one.

Common said this was meant to be an album played and listened to when having a good time. So I knew off the bat I wouldn't get the Common I was exactly used to.

bmags Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 The difference when Common and Kanye experiment is Kanye succeeds, whereas Common has made some truly awful s*** when he goes outside the box. The reason Be was so good was Kanye took him back to his roots with No ID and then Jdilla the next album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
