@Crash6: I have no idea why it was played on the radio here. Could be Drake related, dunno.

Lately been listening a lot to her

Knocked Loose - "No Thanks"

Knocked Loose - "A Fetish"

@horgen: Possibly.....It just comes off to me as more of a remix then an original song since I'm so familiar the other version. I agree though, prefer your version haha

Saint Vitus - Just Friends (Empty Love)

There's no album tied to this track yet but here is a collaboration between Irish singer-songwriter Villagers and American composer Nico Muhly.

The narrative seems to revolve around privilege and contrasts the problems of one fortunate individual against the less fortunate. There's not much in the way of descriptive scenarios and the ones that are there are fleeting. For example we get is the fortunate resolving to ignorance; wanting to only speak with those who agree with them. 'On to the next one' is a repeated phrase. I get the impression that it's used to solidify that ignorance and forgetfulness; how we constantly push forward without empathy for the time forgotten, when time for the less fortunate is so valuable by comparison.

I like the music here. The song opens with electronics dripping away inconsistently against a reverbed vocal delivery. The acoustic guitar introduced almost humanizes the surrealistic elements of the song but you always get the impression that there's something wrong or harrowing going on; vocals are re-dubbed and skewed with effects. As the song progresses you get suppressed piano strings, and light drones. It almost sounds ethereal for a spell; almost hopeful but there's a great duality that toys with the lyrics. The fleeting hopefulness as the piano unfolds in full seem to compliment the 'fortunate child's' story but as the drones rise over this and the vocal repetitions get more grotesque, you start to see the 'unfortunate' side of the story betray the ignorance of the former.

I have been listening to the Guardians of the Galaxy OST.

Morbid Angel - Blessed Are the Sick/Leading the Rats

I haven't heard from Foster the People in a while. I wonder if they're working on new material.

Here's another banger from Shugo Tokumaru's upcoming 'Toss'. Excellent musicianship and experimentation. From what I heard of the album, it's shaping up to be his best since 'Exit'.

Ikutaro Kakehashi, the founder of Roland, passed away earlier this month. His TR-808 and TR-909 drum machines and TB-303 bass synthesizer laid the foundations for modern popular music, ranging from hip-hop to EDM. As a tribute to the late Kakehashi, I'll be posting a few 808, 909 and 303 tracks, starting with the very first 808 track:

Yellow Magic Orchestra - "1000 Knives" (1980)

The electro song that established the 808 as the sound of hip-hop:

Afrika Bambaataa & Soul Sonic Force - "Planet Rock" (1982)

The first 808 hit single, after which the 808 would become a mainstay of R&B music for the next two decades...

Marvin Gaye - "Sexual Healing" (1982)

@conkerfan34: I still haven't seen it :(

Nails - "They Come Crawling Back"

Suffered Enough - "Dig"

Something for @zeroyaoi. Will you Cover Me?

@Jag85: Wow! I had no idea he past. :(

Such an influential figure in music. Even to this day.

@jumpaction:

Indeed. The music industry is hugely indebted to Ikutaro Kakehashi, whose Ace Tone and Roland electronic musical instruments shaped the sounds of contemporary popular music, in numerous different genres, from electronic and dance to hip-hop and R&B.

The track that established acid house music, using Roland's TB-303 bass synthesizer and TR-808 drum machine, with the 303 creating the acid effect and the 808 producing the house beats:

Phuture - "Acid Tracks" (1987)

The track that established the deep house genre, and house music in general, produced using the Roland Juno-6 polyphonic synthesizer for the deep bassline and the Roland TR-909 rhythm machine for the drumline:

Mr Fingers - "Can You Feel It" (1986)

And

Roland's rhythm machines were also used in disco music during the late 1970s to early 1980s, popularized by this track which used the Roland CR-78 drum machine:

Blondie - "Heart of Glass" (1978)

One of the greatest hip-hop songs of all time, also made with a Roland TR-808:

From one of Louis Armstrong's finest albums. :)

Song originally written by W.C. Handy.

Personally it's my favorite album of his since 'Exit'. I've heard some say it doesn't exercise enough restraint, which I can understand but personally I love how bonkers this album can get. The musicianship is superb.
