Ooh, quite possibly. In other music news, Skrillex has a new album out. It's rather disappointing so far. |

He did Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites in 2010 (maybe 2011). It was way better than this is so far. |

He's only actually got a couple of decent tunes and, although those good tunes are very good, the rest of his own output is pretty meh. That new album follows the same pattern. |

Relatedly, have you heard the Korn album Path of Totality he produced a few tracks on? It's an interesting experiment of fusing that brostep sound to their usual style and and took me a while to get into but I really liked it. I suspect you'll either really like it or really hate it to be honest. |

I suspect you'll either really like it or really hate it to be honest. I haven't listened to it, mainly because I went right off Korn after Head left and they started sounding like Linkin Park. Plus the concept just sounds terrible. However, I saw them at Download and they were amazing (Head is back), so I bought the new album and it's really good. So I might give it a shot. There's a massive gap in between Untouchables and the latest album where I haven't listened to their stuff at all. On a sort-of-related note, I couldn't believe how incredible Limp Bizkit were at Download either with Wes Borland back, despite having gone off them last century (I think Significant Other was the last album I owned). However I bought their new album and it wasn't all that great. |

I haven't really listened to much Korn stuff for a long time so I couldn't tell you how it stacks up with their other recent albums, I was really just attracted to it by the concept and hearing the lead single played on Kerrang a few times. I strongly suspect you'll hate it; I spent a few listens genuinely unsure whether it was fucking awful or solid fried gold. Limp Bizkit I haven't heard a single thing from since Significant Other because it was around that time the world was realising just how much of a twat Fred Durst was. I couldn't even tell how many, if any, albums they've released since then. I do still now and again chuck on that one they did with Method Man, N 2 Gether Now, though as it's an absolute corker of a tune. |

As there was a bit of Skrillex chat here, anyone looking for some similar brostep could do worse than check out Zomboy. I've only got a couple of his EPs as his first album isn't due out until July but it's good stuff and a lot more consistent than Skrillex i.e. he's got more than two good tunes. |

Bangarang, First of the Year, Levels and Scary Monsters are four good ones off the top of my head (his joint remix of Monsta's "Holdin' On", with Nero is one of my favorite songs ever, although I suppose that doesn't really count) . Do like me some Zomboy, though. Vancouver Beatdown is my favorite one of his. |

Indeed the only other of his I've heard and enjoy is the much maligned one from Far Cry 3 (Make It Bun Dem). Both of these are crackers to be fair, but it just points to how inconsistent his output is in my opinion. |

Mrs Gaywood showed me this: Incredible scenes. It's a band called Future Islands, and their lead singer is just something to behold. The dancing, the emotion, the pounding himself so hard on the chest that it picks up on his mic, and best of all, the voice that occasionally drops into Death Metal. I am now heartily tempted to see them live, though I worry he might walk into the crowd and eat our souls. |

I quite like the backing. Very 80s. I just love the singer. It's about a millimetre away from being absolutely awful, but manages to cling on to awesome. He has such conviction! Also, I'm not sure what the difference was in Bamba's two videos. |

In other music news, I picked up Asher Roth's second album recently. If you've heard of him at all it'll be from his one big single 'I Love College', a pretty fucking stupid, but catchy, ode to getting drunk and partying in college that was around in 2009. I started listening to the album that spawned it, Asleep in the Bread Aisle, a while back for some reason and, although bits of it come with the same immaturity that I Love College is drowning in, the guy's got an undeniably brilliant flow and it's very well produced. His style is very similar to Eminem's; there's even an entire brilliantly rapped track on the album that talks about how, while Eminem undeniably paved the way for him, the comparison also holds him back as people assume he's just bandwagon jumping. Anyway, I Googled him recently and found out he'd put out a second album in 2013 called Retrohash so I picked it up. I wasn't expecting much given his previous album's obsession with getting wasted and the title there (which turns out just to be an anagram of his name) but it's a lot more, well, mature unsurprisingly. Less straight-down-the-line hip-hop with a really relaxed and hazy production style. I haven't listened to it a lot yet so can't pick out any specific moments but I just really enjoyed the sound and style of it; and Roth himself still has a really compelling flow when he gets going. tl;dr: Asher Roth does some stuff that's very good. It won't blow your mind or anything, and you really need to look past the dumbness of some of the themes on the first album to enjoy it, but he's got a great flow and makes some nice tunes. |

Listening to a new Parquet Courts album this morning. I'm pretty slow about deciding whether or not I like new material from bands I love but it sounds alright so far. If anyone hasn't heard them they should get hold of Light Up Gold and have a listen because it's really, really good definitely one of my favourite records of the last couple of years. Also there's a new Phantom Band album out that I haven't heard yet so that's something to look forward to. |

It can be a teeny bit incoherent at times just because each track throws so much into the blender, but I really like that about it and just let the madness of it all wash over me. The last tune I was listening to as I came to work went from relaxed bleepiness to chiptune to thrash metal (with a soupcon of drum and bass) to prog techno within five minutes; which is awesome obviously. |

Random question from the depths of my mp3 collection: who knew that Moby did an Industrial album? And that it was fucking awesome with awesome sauce? Obviously I did as I went to see him when he toured it years ago but you might not and so I'm telling you because today's listen reminded me how fucking awesome it is. Anyway, this is it here: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_Rights_(album) That's When I Reach For My Revolver is the closest the album has to a single so listen to that first but the whole thing is excellent. |

He played 'revolver' and a few others from that album, dance stuff like 'Feeling so real' and prior things like 'Go' and even '2000', which was intense and kinda scary. Had a full band on stage and two live drummers. Was actually a great gig. |

Though I say that as someone who liked his dance stuff and this album; anyone who came to it knowing only stuff like 'Feeling So Real' would've had their mind blown (and likely hated it obviously). I'd love to hear 1000 live, that would be awesome. Like the soundtrack from Club Doom its utterly ridiculous but still excellent and memorable from my youth. |
