I just picked up the new Owen Pallet album, mainly because of the growing hype surrounding it. I felt I should buy it and properly experience the album if it is going to be such a favorite for the year. Also, I'm going to review it on my music blog. So I've had it spinning a lot. It's a lot like Nat Baldwin's solo work, with some electronic elements that are not surprising considering Pallet's precious projects. It's charming, and a little Sufjan-y, but I need to listen more before offering up a proper opinion.
Also I've been playing quite a bit of electronic shit lately. Röyksopp's The Understanding, Aphex Twin's 26 Mixes for Cash & Caustic Window. I also just bought "Late Registration" and "The College Dropout" on CD for the first time. I had them on iTunes, and prior to that I had torrents of both albums, but I wanted to show my love by buying the actual CD's. So they've been spinning a lot lately too.
Oh, and I've gone a little mixtape crazy with the new AraabMUZIK, Raekwon, and KIT freebies.
The Graduate (Graduation mixtape) has also proven to be bad as fuck, and has been frequenting my car stereo.
