Friend at work got me back into vaporwave and associated genres.

I grew up with it - and lived it for a week at a time in my backyard - so I'm good either way.
Though the story he tells of going to Japan and having his label pay for him to be there while doing the anime is pretty funny.
Also I really wanted to go to that tour as well. Sigh.![]()
I finally got to sit down again and listen to this album. The amount of hate it gets is unwarranted, for this is arguably Taproot's magnum opus.
The history for the album is messy, with most of the material being finished before Our Long Road Home and Blue Sky Research respectively (Stephen Richards loathes those albums) and even though I hate the robot voice that is trying to move you along with the story, you're better off just reading the lyrics yourself to see what is being told.
For some reason I find the history of this band fascinating, along with talking to Richards directly through his Instagram lives sessions (Dude has been through hell) but I am excited to hear the new album, even if it's just more of the same. I always loved Richards as a musician and the tones he brings forward, but have to give him credit for sticking with the new material that he pretty much wrote all by himself.
And the whole Limp Bizkit thing was also blown way out of proportion. They were offered a cruddy production deal (Not a record deal) and there was no guarantee that they would even be signed, along with losing the rights to the songs that Durst wanted them to make for the EP. They wanted to do things on their own terms and I respect the hell out of them for doing that, even if it meant less publicity. Stephen Richards also claims that the formula that was used for the drums in "Nookie" was indeed Taproot's, and I believe that 100%.
They decided to go with Rick Rubin to work with, and Fred got so into his feelings, he left that notorious answering machine message, along with trying to kick System Of A Down off a current tour because the same manager was associated with Taproot lolol.

The new Yves Tumor record is quite good. I enjoyed them opening for NIN last year.

JPEGMAFIA x Danny Brown.
HOLY shit.
You heard this one, Solo?
I'm loving that JPEG / Danny Brown collab.
It's not often these days where I hear something that's so unique it's a little uncomfortable, like what the fuck is this? And then be drawn back in again.
And I say that as a pretty big Danny Brown fan, going back to XXX / Old. Not at all familiar with JPEGMAFIA though, which is obviously where that initial reaction came from. Gonna check out his solo stuff next.
The production on this is unlike anything I've heard. Sounds like the future.
