The 2013 Music Thread

I really like the new JT album. Not as much as part 1, but it's still a lot of fun. But I was always going to like it can I luv Timberlake.

[RPS]

I personally think it's terrible.

[Jimmy]

Yeah, that seems to be the general consensus, but I've found some fun it. I can accept it's not the best, though.

[METALMAN]

The first Justin Timberlake album was okay in places but mainly pretty dull, and not a patch on some of the other R&B albums released in the last couple of years. So I'll give the new one a miss. You'd have thought he'd have had a few more ideas in the last six years.

New Yuck and Dr. Dog are out today, plus Basement Jaxx has their latest single in stores. It is a good day.

I'm hearing different things from different places but I didn't think Part 1 was all that good. "Pusher Love Girl" is a great song if you cut the entire last bit from it and the singles work and that's about it.

[Jimmy]

If you don't like part 1, I don't imagine you'd like part 2 all that much.

[RPS]

Labeling something part 2 indicates a continuation from the original. This isn't a continuation. It's a cash-in. 1 mil in sales in the US week 1 for 20/20 Vision and everybody involves wants to make some more money, so they get the songs that weren't strong enough and call it part 2. I don't blame anybody involved (money is money), but at the end of the day, it's a bunch of songs that weren't strong enough for the LP pieced together for a part 2.

Has anybody used Spotify before? Just wondering if you buy a voucher and redeem it on a monthly account, if you need to make a deposit first to use it?

[METALMAN]

If you're using it on PC there is a free option, but you're limited by adverts and a play limit.

[Ant]

Ah i see. I take it on Mobile its the same? I had a 48 hour free trial but unsure what the plans/prices are and what is best.

[METALMAN]

If you have Spotify on a mobile or a tablet your only option is to pay for it. I'm pretty sure you would have to make the deposit first.

In short there is free version - only available on PCs, but has adverts and play limit

£5 per month - unlimited with no ads but only for PCs

£10 per month - unlimited and can use on phones and tablets

[Ant]

Damn i thought it was similar to iTunes. You redeem a voucer (if you have one), you get the credit and go from there.

Albert Hammond Jr has opened up about his tragic difficulties with drugs this week and he's been getting quite a bit of attention for it.

In other news, Albert Hammond Jr released an EP last week.

These two stories are totally unrelated.

[KONGO]

Just a coinkydink.

Psychic by Darkside (Nicolas Jaar's project that he remixed Random Access Memories on) is amazing. Probably the best album of the year so far.

I am so hyped for that one; I absolutely loved Jaar's Space is Only Noise. Have you heard the track-for-track remix they did of Daft Punk's Random Access Memories?

I was the one that posted it here.

Haven't listened in awhile though and, when I did, it was while I was working so I need to go back.

[SRN]

Oh. Well, I didn't find it through here but I guess that answers my question.
