The new PJ Harvey album over and over again.

That really is a stunner, that one.

ODD FUTURE Jimmy Fallon - OFWGKTA - LATE NIGHT WITH JIMMY FALLON - 2/16 LIVE HD

This performance blew me away. I now think my mind is open for rap.

Yeah, for rap music that was surprisingly not garbage.

I would love to be educated about what parts of that performance I should be enthusiastic about. Sincerely, I want to know, although Tom's voice keeps saying in the back of my head "it's not FOR you".

I have absolutely no experience with rap at all. But what grabbed me was the intensity of the performance; the crazy lyrics that are simultaneously clever, juvenile, psychotic, offensive, and literate; the beat was pretty badass; the complete lack of posturing that seems to go along with most rap either of the gangster flavor or of the too cool for school intelligent flavor.

I don't know, like I said I have zero rap in my music collection but something about this grabbed me like no other rap has.

Being a young man, I feel like I should get it but I don't.

I just bought a handful of Trouble In Mind singles and have been checking them out. Also the Dan Melchior 7" from the CDR Singles Club that I found used, which is lucky since I didn't buy a membership.
I'll probably go into the wee hours.

Comedy Death Ray has a singles club?!?

Sorry, CDR = Columbus Discount Records.

No need to apologize.  I was being a dork.

I think this may be the best thing they've done yet. It's way better than Transatlanticism, in my opinion.

I really don't appreciate your sarcastic, anti-comedy tone, Bro!

I loved it, which confirms my suspicion that violent, overcaffeinated hip-hop is now the preserve of 40-year-old white dudes.
Oh, good heavens. I didn’t realize. I send my condolences out to the rest of the O’Connor family.

Radiohead's new album.

My first impression is that it's decent, but they're not covering any new ground.
