What was April? April was (uh) Techdog and other electronic ambient things. Did a deep dive into 70s German creativity sauce, guided by the lukewarm hand of Harry Sword. Fuck there is a lot of music that exists that is good (which is good). I’m so tired. There’s no end. |

Psych Pop [2009]
Soz got distracted by employment and beef. This is good. Somewhat standard flavour for the an/co eps in that it’s a great snippet of colour and texture and I wish it was longer and fuller. [3.5] |

8th May 2024
Electropop / Pop Rap [2008]
What a completely fucked run of albums in 808s to MBD(etc) to yeezus, like inventing a new ye every couple of years. Flamboyant and sad. Maximalist and sad. Idk one of those crying through fake smile album experiences. Longer than it needed to be but mostly love what’s left when you skim the fat. [3.5] |

Hip Hop [2011]
Kinda dumb this came out a year before good kid, so much goofier and “in draft” vibes, but whiffs of the spicy album craft and onion layers that Kendrick went on to perfect on his next 2 LPs. Weird one to rate as I don’t think I’ll ever return to this, but cool that it exists. [3] |

Pop Rap / R&B [2011]
Such a chore to get through, despite the handful of super vibe moments. Fun checking both beef merchant’s early era (11’) records. Lyrics on this. The lyrics on this. The. Lyrics. On. This. [2] |
