On the second day of Gheorghemas, Big Gheorghe gave to me...
Two albums to look forward to; and
A fat guy in a jer-sey
I haven't done my fair share of posting here this year in general (thanks rob for carrying us around like Yoda in Luke Skywalker's backpack) and I haven't had much music commentary in particular. So I'm excited to report on two new albums that will be released soon.
1. "36 Seasons" by Ghostface Killah
Ghostface released "Twelve Reasons to Die" last year and he's following it up with another concept album called "36 Seasons" to be released on December 9. You can listen to the whole thing here. Each track is a separate chapter in a story about Tony Starks' return to Staten Island after 9 years (9 years X 4 seasons/year = 36 seasons) to find that everything's fucked up and he has to fix it. Some tracks are smooth, others are rough. It's all good.
For the second time in a row GFK has released an album that really is a unitary whole to be listened to front to back. Maybe Ghostdini can save the album as a medium?
2. "Tuxedo" by Tuxedo
Tuxedo is a funk collaboration between Mayer Hawthorne and Jake One, so naturally I'm all in. And you should be too with shit like this.
The album drops on March 5, 2015 so we have enough time to grow our hair out and work on our dance moves so that we can appear in one of the later videos.
cool, z. i dig it.
ReplyDeletemarcus scored 37 for the tribe last night, most by any w&m player since 1990. he did it on 18 shots, with only 1 made free throw. that's some efficiency right there. unfortunately, he's the only tribe player that showed up.
Time waster of the day: Watch the Oskar Blues guys launch beer cans with a nitroCANnon at various items.

Not as cool as Jim McIlvaine.
ReplyDeleteEverything I've read about McElwain has been extremely positive. He certainly turned CSU around very quickly & he's not walking into a program with a bar cupboard talent wise. I'm cautiously optimistic.
ReplyDeleteI'm also happy he had two full months to recruit. That's big. These bridge classes are often awful.
why do you all hate gheorghemas?
ReplyDeleteThey just hate funk.
ReplyDeleteSaw Furyk at lunch today. And speaking of Funk...just saw him filling up his gas tank. Him being Freddy. Freddh Funk. Had a small buzz on so of course shouted, "Freddy!". His car? A Kia. Love that guy. About to pop into my neighbor's who just picked up a growler of a special batch of Intuituiton. And he may or may not have, theoretically of course, have something to accompany it. Merry holidays.
ReplyDeletei missed these last two ghostface albums-- i will have to take a break from "serial" and give them a listen . . .
