biggie & bird

Listened to mr biggie smalls last week :

Ready to Die


Life after Death 1 & 2



amazing stuff, although i got tired of the guns hos & drugs & posturing after a few days of continous play. when i saw the movie the whole theater sang along.

Then i got Andrew Bird's latest album 'Noble Beast'. I think it ranges between good and great. It's not pretentious but sometimes the lyrics or titles feel deliberately cryptic. 'Oh No' might be my favorite so far.

I'm planning on listening to some old DJ Crush albums, and this week i'm going to loop another couple of new releases :

Antony & the Johnsons : The Crying Light
Animal Collective : Merriweather Post Pavilion


alright.
