Darker and slower

Summer already seems long gone and the beautiful yet anguished autumn is around the corner. I won't fight it, instead I'm embracing it and letting it wrap its arms around me. Yesterday evening I turned on the telly just in time to catch this highlight from The Virgin Suicides, there's definitely something about french electronic duos. And now I'm already halfway into swept-into-a-blanket-with-almost-no-pulse-mode.

A sampling

It’s been a while since I took the time to scout the blogosphere for new music, but thanks to a half broken neck and therefore a cancelled release party it finally happened. A sampling of my evening:


Black Milk ft a tattooed Royce Da 5'9" and Elzhi:




A lot of Wu Tang here on the blog lately, but why stop with that. Here is one of the new tracks from Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 2: The Gold Deluxe Edition:




Amazing funky re-edit from Rayko:




They’ve been around for a while, getting better and better and better:

The Wu once again..

Just building off on Bobs last post, and to the fact that I finally got to see a Wu-Tang concert last weekend (perhaps better for the nostalgic value than for the performance, and kinda' embarrassing when Gza wanted the audience to answer, and only 10 people knew the lyrics - but it was fun anyway), here's another Wu post; A couple of months ago, Ghost, Rae and Meth joined up and released "The Wu-Massacre", and it's a quite nice album. All of them still has great skills at the mic, and it's kinda' liberating that the album's only about 40 minutes long, including a couple of skits. In general I think many musicians are making too long albums (especially when listening to a lot of mixtapes), not like in the old days where 8-10 tracks were enough and all of them were quality songs. Those good old days...

10 years with the Wu

Perhaps we will finaly get to see this one. A new trailer from GZA at least.

Twin Peaks

If anyone had told me this series was this good I wouldn't have waited 20 years. But it was worth the wait. If you haven't seen it, just do it. You won't regret it. This, the "Dance of the dream man" is just one of the masterpieces signed Angelo Badalamenti.

...and now the Wu!

In other words - it's going to be a great weekend in Gothenburg. I've already made a long post expressing my feelings for the Wu, but here's some more love while waiting for this first week back from vacation to end.
