R.I.P. Donna, and thank you for providing the exquisite voice to Moroder's music on this revolutionary track.

El-P- Cancer 4 Cure

I've fallen woefully behind on the Def Jux catalogue.  The overall sound felt a little played out, or maybe I got tired (who knows).  But I listened to a few tracks last night and I thought it sounded pretty fucking hot.

El-Producto is a bitchin' producer.

You can get a digital copy right now if you pre-order the vinyl. I didn't but you can. I'll be picking up the digital copy from the definitivejux website (320KBS MP3 and comes with an instrumental version of the album, which my drum and bass loving but not particularly rap enjoying wife may like). Its amazing by the way and no, waiting has never been one of my strengths . Rolling Stone is also streaming it at http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/album-premiere-el-p-cancer-for-cure-20120518

El-P was also on Letterman a couple of nights ago- awesome stuff.

Shortly I will be listening to:

Killer Mike- R.A.P Music
Spiritualized- Live in Wahington DC, May 10th (Thank you NPR All Songs Considered Podcast you are awesome!)

[valance_the_hunter]

oOoOO - Our Love is Hurting Us

What a strange vibe this album has (spooky even).

I was just bustin balls because I knew EL-P got all exasperated on twitter when it first leaked. I'm just waiting till the realeased date for old times sake, it's nice to actually anticipate something in this modern age.

Been listening to the Killer Mike all week, it's flawless. If you haven't, check out his two Pledge Alliegence To The Grind albums.

[Dave Faust]

Hector Berlioz--Symphonie Fantastique
James Chance--James White's Flaming Demonics
Krallice--Dimensional Bleedthrough
Skrillex--Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites
Burial--Untrue

[Sean M.]

To be honest S Earl, the only reason I knew it had leaked was El-P's twitter feed. I'm optimistically hoping it broadens his fanbase; Def Jux were known for critical rather than commercial success. You're right about the Killer Mike album, it's fantastic. It reminds me a lot of Ice Cube in his prime (Amerikkka's Most Wanted/ Death Certificate/ Predator) but with the sci-fi flourishes of El-P's production. It's interesting that since Nas declared that hip hop was dead, it's gone from strength to strength.

[Jon O]

Beach House - Bloom
Warpaint - Exquisite Corpse
Spiritualized - Sweet Heart Sweet Light

I'd love to see El blow up. Guy has been busting his ass for at least 15 years.

[Sean M.]

You're right S Earl. El deserves it.

Anyway, I seem to be on a music kick at the moment; not really reading a whole heap. Today;

Killer Mike- R.A.P Music
Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds- Self titled
Denis Wilson- Pacific Ocean Blue
Miles Davis- On the Corner
Spiritualized- Live in Washington DC (NPR All Songs Considered podcast)

[bean6344]

I am officially old... Chris "The Ar Zee Aye" old.

I see EL-P and thought you were discussing prog rock dinosaurs Emerson Lake and Palmer (a.k.a. ELP).
