Decapitated - Winds of Creation

Best death metal album.

Korova Milkbar - Super Sonic Death Trip LP



Blind buy ($3) based on the band name and cover art. Swedish band, album is from 1988. It's really good! Kind of a Bauhaus/Southern Death Cult/Dead Can Dance mash-up.

Nick Cave and Warren Ellis' new live album, which is good.

Earlier I had on the new record by a guy called Burna Boy, which was characterized by the Guardian as Afrobeat. If this is Afrobeat now, then Bad Bunny is Afrobeat, and I'm not in favor of that.

The kids in LA are all about reggaeton, which is what I thought Bad Bunny was.

Found the album posted from this channel which seems to have a lot of related stuff, most of it unknown to me.

Looks like there are many treasures to be discovered in the Swedish postpunk and -adjacent scenes of the 1980s. I came across only a handful in my synthing days, but I remember digging Kitchen and the Plastic Spoons. All the Freddie Wadling stuff obv. Mortal Memories were somewhat in that area. Leather Nun got some tunes too.

From the other guy's page Fjärde Väggen and Brand sound neat.

Not been keeping tabs on Eastern Youth for a long time. They had an album in 2020.

This is really good.

Reggaeton makes me feel like an out of touch person whose main critique of any type of music is it all sounds the same

I''ve been suffering that disgusting reggaeton shit for almost 20 years now.

I think it's the worst thing to ever happen to mankind.

I'm an old man yelling at clouds type fella, but still, I know I'm right.

If I hear a reggaeton beat in a song, I turn it off immediately.
