Chriso's May Mixtape
Following up on the roaring success of my April mixtape, here is the May installment. No politics, no mention of bodily fluids/poo, no insults and disses, no religion - just music. Sweet sweet music.
1
Deerhunter
Microcastle
"Cover Me (Slowly) / Agoraphobia" - these two kicked my ass. Album never quite lived up to this for me but very impressive anyway.
2
Black Star
Black Star
"Thieves In The Night" - some of the best lyrics I've come across in any genre of music.
3
Q-Tip
Kamaal the Abstract
"Barely in Love" - amazing and so underappreciated. The Renaissance is well worth a look too if you're into ATCQ.
4
Bjork
Medulla
"Pleasure Is All Mine" - Everything you hear (or just about everything) is vocals. Pretty cool.
5
Black Sabbath
Paranoid
"Planet Caravan" - probably the direct opposite of what alot of Sabbath fans are after but this is magical.
6
Charles Mingus
Let My Children Hear Music
"Adagio Ma Non Troppo" - a full band realisation of an improvised solo piano piece off 'Mingus Plays Piano'. Amazingly good.
7
Cat Power
You Are Free
"Werewolf"
8
Broken Social Scene
You Forgot It In People
"Almost Crimes"
9
Wildbirds & Peacedrums
Heartcore
"The Battle In Water" - more impressive live than on record I think.
10
St. Vincent
Marry Me
"Human Racing"
11
The Smiths
The Queen Is Dead
"The Queen Is Dead" - clever lyrics.
12
