That's right. There is nothing gross or misleading about that title. Y'all are crazy! Anyways...
Last year some good albums came out - A lot didn't. (AHEM Andre 3000 please stand up.....) REGARDLESS - Two of my favorite albums of last year were:
Brothers - The Black Keys
It has been a long journey for the Black Keys. I myself somehow missed them for most of it. Luckily Phaust from Sinthesis made me pay attention. I became hooked - every part of them. I'd always been a fan of Jack White and The White Stripes. But these guys were doing a 'bluesier' version of the two man (or in the Stripes case a Man and Lady) blues group. Different styles would occasionally show up in some jams - but they always had that backbone blues down firm. Then Brothers came along. This is a whole-nother-best. There is a TON of funk and soul dripping from this disk. I played it all year - much to my Wonderful Loving Girlfriends dismay. Luckily she caught the bug a few months later and now we be ROAD TRIPPIN to catch them in WI.
Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty - Big Boi
Give it UP for bad ass album names. Big Boi is a BEAST. This disk got me back into hip-hop. I was worried because the last Outkast disk was a little off and then Speakerboxx/Love Below was just really one good disk and one bad disk. (I'll let you decide - Wink Wink) But this album is bangin. I love the ever changing beats. Different styles: sample bassed - new age funk - soul - hip-hop its ALL here. This disk will easily hold me over till the next Outkast album - or Andre....... COME ON!!!
With that said - I was wandering around a bit on Bandcamp. Setting up the Sinthesis page - SHAMELESS PLUG!!! Killing Time by Sinthesis drops 4/1/11!! MARK YOUR CALENDERS!! Regardless I found this:
