so it sounds like in this, the year 2015, we'll be getting new albums from Frank Ocean, Kanye, Baroness, Kendrick, Run the Jewels ("Meow the Jewels" and "RTJ3"), Deafheaven, Panda Bear, Chance The Rapper & The Social Experiment, Pusha T, Shamir, Vince Staples, and gosh that's just some off the top of my head and i'm obviously forgetting a bunch

oh man, yeah, i saw that. i'm real fucking hyped. i love pretty much all of his albums. also even if you don't like folk i'd say give seven swans a listen. it's pretty great.

oh yeah, i meant to listen to seven swans a while ago, but then i completely forgot about it and it entered the black hole that is My Backlog (god i started a fucking google doc to keep track of music and now it's a 20-page mess with like, columns?).
btw i don't have anything against the Genre of Folk, per se; it's just that folk musicians tend to be the rare sort of person that i actually wish was edgier. like, i don't need dudes whispering, "apples in the summer are golden sweet" and strumming like they're afraid to wake the baby. that said, i'm liking Sufjan a lot. he's eccentric in a good way and just really pleasant. /hottakes

I'm a kind of jerk who can listen to the same songs a thousand times, because I get caught up in trying to work out a story to it, and I focus really hardon songs I like a lot the first time around. Obvious downside being that I don't actually expose myself to that much new music. 2 things have made me actually acquire more music recently: Stoly and Sleeping Dogs

i also used to be the "listen to the same song literally a thousand times" type. mostly i started checking out different stuff because it got bummery seeing old family members who listen to nothing but the beatles, and i didn't want to be a modern version of that.

it's been snowing in these parts so, i dunno, here's some wintry music

They're nothing alike but let's see who those resonate with.

not very into either. i've always felt tame impala is overrated. i might give them a go again some time though
