Got some great picks. Love milo so much, he's my favorite rapper. I saw him once with jpeg-mafia, both were great. Street sects are also dope. I love doing desert island picks. I have to consult my Spotify collection real quick. 1. Helplessness Blues - Fleet Foxes 2. Give Up - The Postal Service 3. Strawberry Jam - Animal Collective 4. Yellow House - Grizzly Bear 5. Splendor & Misery - clipping. 6. So the Flies Don't Come - milo 7. Ironworks - Baths 8. Rock Island - Palm 9. Pang - Caroline Polachek 10. Peasant - Richard Dawson If I could I would keep going, I found so many great albums going through my Spotify collection again. I'm sticking with those for now though. I would not be dissatisfied with only having those albums to listen to, that's for sure. milo is my favorite rapper as well. i also love peggy, i've still never seen either of them live. idk if you know who james acaster is, british comedian, but he has this podcast where he brings on other british comedians and they review albums that he likes together that are specifically from the year 2016. sometimes he intentionally picks an album because he thinks it will be challenging for the guest, and there's an episode where he picks street sects - end position and that is by far my favorite episode. its a good show. interesting to pick ironworks, honestly that's one of my least favorite songs off obsidian. Earth Death is my favorite on that record. its got almost an industrial vibe. i also really love No Eyes, but obsidian is overall a great album. 1. Let It Be - The Replacements 2. Geogaddi - Boards of Canada 3. Untrue - Burial 4. Low - David Bowie 5. Double Nickels on the Dime - The Minutemen 6. Giant Steps - John Coltrane 7. Pastel Blues - Nina Simone 8. Surfer Rosa - The Pixies 9. None So Vile - Cryptopsy 10. Magrudergrind - Magrudergrind How come I've never heard of this milo cat? Any recommended songs? lmao i almost put geogaddi and the s/t magrudergrind albums on my list too. i decided to go with a cloud rat album over magrudergrind though, because i feel like their s/t album is too obvious since its easily the best grindcore album of all time, no question. i think basically any cloud rat album could pretty easily take second best grind album tho. milo is DEEPLY underrated for some reason. i feel like his music is maybe not the most accessible hip hop? his lyrics often give off a major poetry vibe, which is actually why i deeply enjoy the opener to who told you to think so much. the whole album is good. poet is a great opener, landscaping is also a GREAT track, and the young man has a point has a couple of really funny lines like "steez drip like faygo off the hatchet man". i recommend the full album for sure. so the flies don't come is also an excellent album that i highly recommend, and i also highly recommend the album he released under the name Scallops Hotel called Sovereign Nose of your Arrogant Face. he's now releasing stuff under the name R.A.P. Ferreira and he released another album under Scallops Hotel last year. i didn't really like it that much tbh, but i did really like the track Diogenes on the Auction Block. mostly because i automatically love anything that references diogenes. i mean my twitter handle is literally Diogenes Nuts lmao.

Geogaddi was also about to be my 10th but it just didn't fit. Also super cool you put Giant Steps in it's such a classic. If I were to put a jazz album down it would be Round About Midnight by Miles Davis. @armus James Acaster is great, I didn't know he had a podcast I will definitely be listening to that. He's a very funny guy. Here's a milo track that's fun. Favorite line "If life were a dream of euphoria, we would not have schizophrenia or paranoia."

Yooooo, this is icky. I'm very glad you recommended this. Magrudergrind was my entry to hardcore/grindcore, Cryptopsy was my entry to death metal/extreme metal. That said, both bands are a one album deal for me. Nothing else by them is on rotation. But I agree; I think both of those albums are goated. Well, as you know, I love philosophy, so Diogenes is my boy. That dude didn't give a single fuck his entire life. Alexander the who, bish? If Dio lived in modern times, he'd be a crust punk with the letters "I.D.G.F." tattooed in Old English on his abdomen, and we'd call him "Gene, tha God". Cloud Rat is fantastic. I love the art on Qliphoth, it's so captivating. The IRL lore behind the name is sick too. So confession time: When I was 14, I was a Juggalo. To be fair, it WAS a phase, and soon after I branched out to underground rap more generally. I guess I wasn't down with the clown after all. Still, that shit's on my permanent record. There are school fucking photos hanging up in my living room that could be admitted as evidence in a court of law. Anyway, I can especially appreciate that bar.

Also love Cannonball, Thelonious, Mingus, Parker, etc. But Coltrane will always be my captain... my brother... my king... @armus James Acaster is great, I didn't know he had a podcast I will definitely be listening to that. He's a very funny guy. SPAGBOL!

@armus James Acaster is great, I didn't know he had a podcast I will definitely be listening to that. He's a very funny guy. Here's a milo track that's fun. Favorite line "If life were a dream of euphoria, we would not have schizophrenia or paranoia." he has a couple podcasts actually. the music one is called Perfect Sounds, named after his book. he also has a food podcast with ed gamble called Off Menu. i'm not as into off menu, but it is often pretty funny. i'm just partial to perfect sounds because i'm a music dweeb and i half agree with his take that 2016 is the greatest year for music of all time. the only reason i don't fully agree with that take is because lingua ignota - caligula didn't come out that year, that came out in 2019, so it CAN'T be the greatest year for music of all time. Yooooo, this is icky. I'm very glad you recommended this. Magrudergrind was my entry to hardcore/grindcore, Cryptopsy was my entry to death metal/extreme metal. That said, both bands are a one album deal for me. Nothing else by them is on rotation. But I agree; I think both of those albums are goated.

There are school fucking photos hanging up in my living room that could be admitted as evidence in a court of law. Anyway, I can especially appreciate that bar. hell yeah, happy to get people into milo. like i said earlier, he's deeply underrated. my dude should be up there with the greatests but for some reason he's slept on in a major way. i don't even listen to that much hip hop anymore, but i still regularly go back to his shit. magrudergrind's 2016 album II was fun too, but you're right their s/t record is by far their best work. i used to go to a lot of grindcore shows as a teenager but i didn't actually start enjoying LISTENING TO grindcore until around 2013 when i decided to sit down and give magrudergrind a listen. i still think pulverizing hate mongers is the best grind track of all time. i never got into death metal. its just one of the many metal subgenres that does absolutely nothing for me. i want my metal extremely slow, dirty, and covered in swamp water. i want my punk fast, smelly, and covered in stale pabst. that's why i love sludge/doom and crust/grind. dude...i've made the fucking joke that diogenes is the original crust punk to literally anybody that will listen lmao. people either don't know what the fuck i'm talking about or don't think its anywhere near as funny as i do. i've not fallen completely down the philosophy rabbit hole, but i always find philosophy shit really fascinating. ooh what's the cloud rat lore? i love them so much. they've never released a record that i didn't like. qliphoth is great, moksha is great, pollinator is great, the new album threshold is great. they just can't miss. i managed to skip the juggalo phase fortunately. i had a nu-metal phase like everyone else in 2000-2002ish, but my mom was a metalhead in the 80s so i grew up on all the good shit. around like 2002, my mom met this aging crust punk dude and they became bffs and would take me to crust shows when i was in like 8th grade, so going into high school i was all in on the local punk scene. there was a pizza place in downtown seattle that would have punk shows in the back in the late afternoon/early evening, so after school i'd sometimes go straight there to get a slice of pizza and see some shitty punk band and then go home. it was great fun. i really really miss that spot. i didn't really start to develop my own taste in music until sophomore year of high school though when i got an ipod and discovered the countless post-rock bands on myspace, found boards of canada, and stumbled across some weird avant garde shit like kayo dot on an old forum i used to live on. i think kayo dot is really the thing that made me go "oh wow, there's music out there that doesn't sound even remotely like anything else i've heard before". when i first heard choirs of the eye, it broke my little 16 year old brain. here's my favorite kayo dot song. the full album is absolutely worth a listen, as is all of their earlier work, but this song in particular absolutely broke me at the time.

This year, the Indian music director duo known as Salim Sulaiman has done a special collaborative YouTube project with various Indian musical artists, in conjunction with GoDaddy India, called Bhoomi 2022. It celebrates the diverse regions and cultures of India through their uniquely different folk songs and musical styles. This particular folk song is from the Kashmir Valley region in northern India, where my family is originally from, as a number of y'all already know. The initial lyrics, "Naazneen, yaar myani yi chu mulaqat," translates to "Oh Naazneen my beloved, this is our first meeting together." In context, it's a romantic folk song involving the journey from marriage to the final exit from the Earth. Traditional folk instruments are used in this tune, and one can tell that they almost have a Middle Eastern and Iranian touch to them, as the Kashmir Valley was strongly influenced by Islamic, Turkish, and Persian cultures since the 14th century.

Found this which is a little out there as far hard music. Classical with metal and a lot of other stuff, kind of mind exploding. Youtube just randomly showed me there stuff, thanks Youtube.

And they also made whatever this is. Very French accordion with blast beats and a bit of everything else.

Found this which is a little out there as far hard music. Classical with metal and a lot of other stuff, kind of mind exploding. Youtube just randomly showed me there stuff, thanks Youtube. there are some things that i like about this, its certainly very creative and there's some seriously unique stuff happening here, but overall it doesn't do much for me. i think i've talked about this here before but i'm really picky about the ways in which metal and metal influenced music is mixed. when things are mixed too clean, it sounds really sterile to me and i don't like it and this definitely falls into that category for me. i also REALLY dislike it when music is so overproduced that its like...perfect. no flaws. that's an aesthetic a lot of people enjoy, especially in metal stuff, but its really not for me. that's one of the reasons i got more into punk than metal as i got older and why the only metal i really listen to now is like sludge, doom, and black metal. its all dirty and grimy and gross in a way that really does it for me aesthetically. and those are the biggest reasons i don't like basically any of the most popular modern metal bands out there lmao. its all too clean and perfect. but if you wanna hear something that fits a similar theme that i DO like a lot, listen to this. they're an italian grindcore band that is...really hard to actually call a grindcore band because they're really not. the main guy is a classically trained violinist and basically all their shit is filtered through that lens. interestingly, their stuff is also has a lot of the things i don't like in overproduced metal, but since the mix itself still has a lot of slop sloshing around in there and their shit is so frenetic in its energy it doesn't really feel the same to me as other things with tight production.

How about some angsty '90s Japanese indie/emo? Nostalgia in a bottle for me. This is why they make garages.

I’ve been on a bit of a Country/rap kick lately. Artists like Upchurch and Savanna Dexter. Savanna Dexter country girl and big trucks are on repeat right now. Even though I’m from Canada I’m still a little red neck at heart.
