So good:
Check out this incredible mashup of Tame Impala's Elephant and Kanye West's Black Skinhead by producer Nate Belasco. It's really great.
Lou Reed reviews Yeezus
The best review I've read of Kanye West's great new album Yeezus is an impassioned piece by none other than Lou Reed. A feature on a great new site The Talkhouse, which has musical artists reviewing other musical artists.
It's a fantastic, honest read, and says a lot about how I also feel about Kanye's latest.
Here are a few of my favourite observations:
"There are moments of supreme beauty and greatness on this record, and then some of it is the same old shit. But the guy really, really, really is talented."
"Very often, he'll have this very monotonous section going and then, suddenly —"BAP! BAP! BAP! BAP!""
"It's like farting."
"At so many points in this album, the music breaks into this melody, and it's glorious — I mean, glorious."
