Featuring Nathan Bowles, Jaime Fennelly and Joseph Westerlund, "at Public Records" is the latest live album from Setting, on which all four pieces stand out in very different ways, but together make a whole that is one hell of a listening experience. A worthy conclusion to a trio of live albums that feel as relevant and accomplished as their debut album, Shone a Rainbow Light On. Source| KLOF Magazine

Kanye West has had a legendary career as a producer and rapper. Kanye started out being a great producer and got his break on Jay-Z’s Blueprint album. A little over two years later, Kanye dropped his classic debut project College Dropout. College Dropout sold over four million copies and was praised by damn near everybody.

Tony Yayo and G-Unit were on top of the hip hop world in the early part of the 2000s. 50 Cent was signed by Dr. Dre and Eminem back in 2002. In 2003, 50 Cent released his classic album, Get Rich or Die Tryin’. Later in 2003, G-Unit dropped their Beg for Mercy album, and it put […] The post Tony Yayo Thoughts of a Predicate Felon Turns 20 Years Old appeared first on Daddy's Hangout| Atlanta Daddy Blogger|.| Daddy's Hangout| Atlanta Daddy Blogger|
Junior Mafia released their debut album called Conspiracy 30 years ago today. Junior Mafia is a click that the Notorious B.I.G. put on.

Good Times is the latest offering from Alexei Shishkin. “...pop culture, poetics, psychology and philosophy are rolled into a surreal, lumpy ball and garnished with a palatable – and memorable – indie-pop melody.” Despite Shishkin’s lo-fi beginnings and his continuing willingness to drink from the well of slacker aesthetics, Good Times is a bold and - dare we say it - polished artistic statement.

"I Will Swim to You: A Tribute to Jason Molina" celebrates one of the most enduring and impactful songwriters of the last thirty years with twelve loving covers. Artists like MJ Lenderman, Horse Jumper of Love, and Hand Habits explore the raw, unvarnished truth of Molina's music, reflecting on an artist who never shied away from desperation and who found a strange beauty in the struggle of modern life.

It felt at times as if 2023 was a year in which pop music mattered to the mainstream in a way it hasn’t for a little while: Taylor Swift’s Eras tour led to her being Time‘s person of the year, and to innumerable think pieces and op-eds about her artistic, economic and cultural significance; The […]| @Number 71
When it’s hard to figure out which albums of a given year most stand out from the rest, is it because a year was uncommonly good, or is it because all of its records have bunched together in decent mediocrity?

Post-sixties folk-rock on ATCO heavily indebted to CSN. Only been through side one, but it’s not nearly as weedily soft-rock as I’d feared. There’s a startlingly delicate take on ‘In the Midnight Hour’ which seems to typify Cross Country’s approach: begin with gentle finger picking, add whispy three-part harmony, then gradually build the instrumentation to a […]| Thrifty Vinyl
Since Messers Edwards and Rodgers prized a cool, almost mechanical vocal approach, the Sisters’ later, very popular Chic Organization-produced Lps, effectively disguised what fabulous soul singers they were. Featuring surprisingly tough music and, given their tender ages, remarkably mature singing, the Sledges’ strong, well-programmed début seems to have had a lot of care and attention lavished on it. Touches of […]| Thrifty Vinyl
As I listen, I sense some of the same icy grandeur of Eno and Lanois’ earlier ambient gem Apollo and Bowie’s Low; however, technology had moved on from the previous work and the feel is somehow less resonant, less moving. Enjoyable nonetheless (especially the Satie touches) and only a pound from Hythe chaz.| Thrifty Vinyl
Graphic designer Barney Bubbles runs amok on this ‘solo’ Lp by Elvis Costello’s Attractions. Would that such an exceptionally weak ‘new wave’ record merited our Colin’s over-the-top efforts. Simply put, it’s as poorly sung and written an album as anyone with as much talent as the Attraction possess that you’re likely to hear–truly, the band’s abilities lie elsewhere. An overload of […]| Thrifty Vinyl
Archetypal prog journeyman and go-to bassist (Roxy, Crimson, Asia, etc.), Wetton sings in an engaging tenor croon, which he puts to good, if inconsequential, use here. As its title and treated monochromatic Hipgnosis sleeve* suggests, Crossfire trades in the taut guitar-led ‘energy’ of the late 70s/early 80s, which means it’s often fast with little conspicuous virtuosity, trots out vaguely edgy anti-romantic […]| Thrifty Vinyl
As refreshing as an ice-cream on a sunny day (with about as much nutritional value), Chicago’s Greatest Hits takes late-period Beatles pop innovation to a warm, post-hippy, soft rock conclusion: wistful “Getting Better” existentialism (“Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?”); “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” ponderousness (“25 or 6 to 4”); blissed-out, blue-eyed soul à la “Got […]| Thrifty Vinyl
