Red Mosquito

that's funny because I only found it this year. it's better for finding things because if you find it, it's actually there vs. a torrent where you have to wait, and maybe it'll download/maybe it won't? and all that crap.

I still use it exclusively. Love it.

So this is due in January, but fuck it, its too good.



This band is EXCELLENT.

My favorite 7" of 2019



Tyvek is a national treasure.

Always happy when snc posts in the "Albums of" threads.

Thanks bud!

Dessa - Sound the Bells

^^ nice song, love the video. That sand effect is glorious.

Looking forward to the yearly snc mixtape. It's a highlight of the year.

Dyson Stringer Cloher - Believer. This is some good shit.

Toronto bassist Rob Clutton is releasing a new album in collaboration with saxophone player Tony Malaby, called Offering. It's out December 2 on Clutton's Snailbongbong label. Track 5, "Refuge," is currently up for streaming.

The "new" Gang Starr album is fucking awesome.

Still need to listen to the new DJ Shadow and Cattle Decapitation and that'll probably be a wrap for the year/decade.

Gang Starr's Moment of Truth is one of the greatest hip hop albums of all time.

Fuck it, one of the greatest albums of all time period.

Hard to Earn and Daily Operation are awesome too.

Oh sweet, snc stuff

U have a Spotify Playlist up for 2019??

Not yet, but i'll prob cobble something together on spotify or something.

This is a bit of a surprise fave album for me this year as, whilst I like some pop, its not usually something that I seek out. Thelma Plum is an indigenous Australian lass who has released a cracker of a debut this year, 'Better in Blak'. I think that RM's usual suspects when it comes to fem vox pop will enjoy this too. The album complete is a treat, here's the title track:

After selling out their career-spanning compilation Capsule Losing Contact earlier this year, Duster have announced that they're releasing a new album on December 13, titled Duster. Opener and lead single, "Copernicus Crater" is up on streaming services, including the Youtube video below:

I enjoyed the Capsule Losing Contact retrospective. It was actually my introduction to these gents. Will check this out.
