The Turkey is done and I am back. Sorry I havent posted in a while, but I got some serious meat coming at that CPU and we shall kick off my return with 2 music reviews.

embryonic_cover1st up a new album from the Flaming Lips! These cats do weird right. This album is all over the place, I dare you to name all the sounds that are going on during this record. Embryonic is the name of the new record, and yes there are guests, MGMT is on 1 track and Karen O is on 3 tracks. In fact the track “I Can Be A Frog” featuring Karen O has a great call response thing going where Wayne Coyne calls out an animal and Karen O imitates the sound that animal would make, her bear and tiger noises are on point. I love this record, its full of great audio, and the replay factor is super high, I am always finding sounds I did not hear on previous listenings.

blakroc7752nd up is the new project by the Black Keys and produced by non other than ex best friend of Jay-Z Damon Dash (Stacy Dash’s cousin). This is a Hip Hop album where the Black Keys take a back seat on lyrics and make awesome music for some of today’s best MC’s. Who is spitting on this record? RZA, Mos Def, Q-Tip, Raekwon, Pharaoh Monch, MOP, hell the opening track is ODB and Ludacris. If you are a fan of Hip Hop and want an album that is true to the form of the culture than this collaboration album is for you. Oh the name of this album is Blakroc and there is a video trailer that goes with this album located on their website. http://www.blakroc.com/

Both albums get 3 1/2 Meats, yummy…..

    Blokroc is on perma-play on my ipod. God I miss ODB. It’s funny I never saw the similarities is his and Luda’s styles before. Absolutely perfect combo.
