I love Television....



Wait, are you talking about "Thee World Famous Leechpit?" Collectibles and clothes and records and vintage junk?

If so I've totally been there.

The "reissue?" Anything new about it?

Man, that album... And Evol... And Sister.. deserve full-scale deluxe reissue treatments as much or more than the records that got the treatment years ago.

Nothing new/extra that I saw, looks like a standard repress

That's the one! Cool owner. Had some great stuff for a small town store, but not much that I did not already have (zing!....#collectorbrag)

that Television album is sweet. nice. only slightly less than Marquee. "the Dream's Dream" is one of my favorite tunes by them.

KNXWLEDGE - Hud Dreems (Stones Throw, 2015)

 


EDIT: Originally, I called this album "out there and brilliant," a "must hear," and compared Knxwledge to Ras G & the Afrikan Space Program.

Truth is, this is a dope collection of beats, and I would highly recommend it to fans of Jazz & Afro-funk influenced instrumental hip-hop, but calling it "brilliant" was overzealous and kind of insulting to the artists who turned beat-making into a legitimate art form that could carry an entire album on its own. So please, don't expect Knx to hold a candle to Pete Rock, J Dilla, Premier, Madlib, J Rocc, etc.

That said, music doesn't have to be revolutionary to be really fuckin' good. And there's plenty of promise here. He's a good match for Stones Throw, and I hope to hear more collaborative work from him in the future.

Also, like Kamasi Washington's successful new record, The Epic, Hud Dreems ha a very natural and present feel to it, as though it's sound and vibe somehow just fit with the spirit of 2015.
This is, of course, because both Knxwledge and Washington contributed to Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp a Butterfly, which has in the 3 months since its release, already become both a cultural phenomenon and a hip-hop classic. Hud Dreems shares a bit of DNA with the biggest album of the year, and at times, it feels like a TPAB spinoff or side story.

So, yeah. Here's a song from Knx's 2010 LP Klouds:

^ Ownwr at my record store (where I still do some bookkeeping, but haven't been around as much to order promos and make recommendations) saw me come to the register with this, and the cranky old bastard said "what the hell is this all about?"

It made me sad. He usually makes an effort to stay on top of things so he can converse with younger customers about what they're into, but he looked so confused that I wasn't buying some CRASS reissue (which I've been known to do). For some reason it made the experience kind of sour.

But the record is oozy woozy dribbly wibbly awesome.

Cool find. I don't have that one, but I've always kept an eye out for it. The official Sonic Youth data page is missing some info on it, I see. There's a "?" In the "origin" section, but I thought it was released by a German imprint.

Anyway, what do you think?
