Since the semester is over its time to be active on my blog again and provide my readers with the usual nonsense and idiotic ideas you are all accustomed to. Yes, thats right no more semi-emotional crap, the moment has passed.
When I was younger I was a lot into music, it even inspired me to start a band in high school (there are no known tapes of this phase of me and if any of my former band members do have evidence this has ever happened and make it public, I swear to God I will post those naked pictures of you and that guy)(in case you didnt understand: yes that was a threat). But luckily that phase is over with me getting bored with the genres that I liked and finding new interests. However since I've been here I have been listening to music a lot more often and therefore these recommendations. They have been recommended by my friends as I am too lazy to search for this stuff myself.
Mayer Hawthorne: Impressions
It's a free cover EP released a couple of days ago and it's free to download and fans of old soul are in for a treat! Ever since his debut album in 2009 Mayer Hawthorne seems to capture that lovely feeling you get from listening to the heroes of old: Marvin, Otis and Al. Though he might not be on the same level as them it still is great to hear someone in present day making this music with a new twist. The EP consists of 6 covers of him and a live band. It's great, do yourself a favor and stop listening to the same radio crap for a few minutes and listen to some mature grown up music and still be cool. Because that's just what Mayer Hawthorne is all about.
Odd Future
I consider myself late on this stuff since they have been around for a couple of years now. Tyler the Creator, Earl Sweatshirt, Hodgy Beats and Frank Ocean all released stuff for free on their website before. But with Tyler the Creator's 2nd album coming out last week, it's hard to ignore anymore. Ominous sounds and effects, brutal and insane lyrics on various topics untouched by other rappers, this is not a group for the weak hearted. If you dislike profanity, rap, anti-gay lyrics you will be stunned by these records. I would still recommend you to listen to it though. Because it's hilarious and quite different than most of the stuff out there. Maybe my humor is fundamentally different than yours but I guess we accepted that already.
The Weeknd - House of Balloons
Toronto represent! Naw just kidding I didnt get this from my Canadian friends, but accidentally heard of it while researching some of Frank Ocean's background. Had the album for a while now but really started listening to it just a few weeks back. Only one way to describe this but these songs just make you straight up horny. It has such a nasty feel to it I wouldn't be surprised if it was on a new Duane Franklin's baby making sextape sometime soon. (if you haven't downloaded these mixtapes from Duane Franklin yet, you should. Give a little love to one of my best friends from back home! Hit me for the download links) House of Balloons is a great listen and there is no reason for you to sleep on this. Unless you dont like listening to music during sex. But then you're probably on the wrong blog. This might be more for you then.
