I have been listening to my Christmas present ...kanye west's newest and I just have to say WOW! He just keeps on putting out stuff that an old lady can love! At first I found it slightly annoying that he was using that autotune thing for all of the songs but since I have listened to it about 5 times I don't even notice it...in fact I expect it and anticipate it. The beats are so mesmerizing. Other than that I had the most fun this Christmas listening to Rosie Thomas' Christmas Album... Here she covers the Alvin and the Chipmunks song and adds lyrics that just absolutely break my heart. www.imeem.com/rosiethomas/music/Now3yKmT/rosie_thomas_christmas_dont_be_lateIf you have any sentimental folks that you know of...get them this for next year's Christmas...she does an excellent cover of The River by Joni Mitchell. I have that up on my myspace but you have to add me! myspace.com/linda_paloma

he uses a vocoder in every song!!!!!!!!! i fucking hate vocoders I was so disapointed when he released the first single from his new album, cus i love his stuff. i havnt heard his new album yet though, and by the sounds of it i might jsut find the vocoder too annoying to enjoy everything else :/

There were a few songs on the Kanye album I loved, but I wouldn't say it had much replay value to me. I find myself listening to a lot of the old Mike Patton groups nowadays (Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, Fantomas, etc).

There were some good songs on Peeping Tom too...
About Kanye's new album though, I just can't make myself buy it. What I've heard from it thus far I like, but I just find him to be such an abhorrent human being. That usually doesn't get in the way of my music purchases, but I think if I helped him become wealthier by buying his album, my soul may be irreparably damaged and I just don't need any more of that.

There were some good songs on Peeping Tom too... Oh yeah, that had some gems. I saw Fantomas in London recently. Mike Patton is somebody you have to see live to fully appreciate. My girlfriend is in love with him lol. Any fans of The Veils fans in here? I'm going to see them in some sweatbox club next month, should be colourful.

okay... this is a plug My son and his band put their music video up on YouTube and I think it's awesome! You can click a Watch in HD button for your viewing pleasure... www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8UZfyXakeEThis was over winter break...we had snow...the kids are kids that he went to high school with except for the girl who put the video together, she is Luke's friend from Stanford and I think she does amazing work and so quickly. They thought a lot about it... IMHO it has a bit of a Sliding Doors feel about it, maybe even Donnie Darko ish... I don't know but I love it and I even think I would love it if he weren't my son.
