![[Review/Listen] – Blue Sky Black Death & Nacho Picasso – "Lord of The Fly"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4041628_lg.jpg)
Tweet Blue Sky Black Death , the Seattle-based beat-production duo, are radically experimental when put into the same context as artists like Star Slinger or Clams Casino , which are other artists who have recently dabbled in the hip-hop realm. They have a thirteen-minute long track, "13" , that takes the listener through a smorgasbord of rapidly changing textures and long-winded progressions. Their beats combined with Nacho Picasso , also based in Seattle, provide a new [...]

Photo by Amy V. Cooper From NPR Music : Even at its most tender and delicate, Animal Joy pairs Meiburg's brainy proclamations with brawny, searching arrangements: Inventive percussionist Thor Harris leaves his reverberations all over the record, and he's aided by terrific bassist Kimberly Burke and an impressive assortment of guests, including Wye Oak multi-instrumentalist Andy Stack. The common thread binding them all, and binding everything Shearwater does, is a love of big thinking — and a clear understanding that brains and beauty need never be mutually exclusive. [...]

Sheep! Sex! Boobs! Have I got your attention? Good. You're Vincent. A kind, loveable guy who's got himself in a bit of bother.

If that wasn't enough, his girlfriend, Katherine, is putting pressure on him to commit. Vincent, a typical man, is scared of change, babies and marriage.

There is a common misconception that some musicians are beyond criticism. One only has to listen to the latest Lou Reed/Metallica train crash (Lulu, 2011) to know that isn't true. And it's all too easy to praise so called 'legends' and overuse the word 'genius' when their legacy has outlived their present achievements (McCartney and Dylan being two obvious examples). So it is with a certain amount of trepidation that Leonard Cohen's twelfth album is received; kept at arms-length rather than embraced, admired from distance and not approached, talked about in hushed-tones instead of praised. The man who gave [...]

Trip hop music has absolutely exploded in the last three or four years, probably due in most part to Portishead 's rise in success and fan base. With the emergence of artists' such as Emancipator , Bonobo , and The Flashbulb , the trip hop community has been spoon fed album after album of downtempo music. It's no wonder that we are seeing a surge of young, talented musicians who are able to make massive beats in their own bedroom.

It's been eight months since our ears were first graced with the sublime, audacious beauty of Video Games . Eight short months in which we've loved, hated, mocked , obsessed over and idolized Lana Del Rey to the point of literary exhaustion. Despite a mixed critical consensus ( 'For all it's coos about love and devotion, it's the album equivalent of a faked orgasm' - Pitchfork ), her debut album Born To Die is racing to the top of the UK charts; appearing that, like her or not, Elizabeth Grant [...]

The Presidential election season is in full swing. When Bill Maher compared Mitt Romney to rich rappers, I thought that some of the rappers he mentioned would actually make good Presidents. Rappers are much more socially conscious than any of these guys running for President, especially Mitt. But, when people start to dig into rappers past is when we run into a wall. There is also a bunch of stereotypes that don't help rappers out. Old folks vote too you know. After the jump I've listed some of the most successful rappers/entrepreneurs with the best chances of being [...]

We've had a couple of reviews on Never Enough Notes recently covering the St. Albans quartet Enter Shikari, most of them concluding that the new singles 'Arguing with Thermometers' and 'Ghandi Mate, Ghandi' were not like their first album offering Take to the Skies. They were right, and maybe if you prefer their first album, this latest offering may disappoint. Personally, I find these singles, as well as the rest of the new album A Flash Flood of Colour, so much better than Take to the Skies. This isn't a 'Common Dreads' mark two either. This is a un...
