GOOD MUSIC II

My GOOD MUSIC installments will be done a little differently than those of TSO. I will mostly be writing reviews of albums, and occasionally singles, but I wont be providing you with a link to download them. Just know that only quality music will be posted here, and I highly recommend that you download the music by your own means.

LP by Discovery

LP is a stunning electro-pop collab between Wes Miles of Ra Ra Riot and Rostam Batmanglij of Vampire Weekend, with a contribution from Vampire Weekend's Ezra Koenig. The album has a powerful opening three tracks with "Orange Shirt," "Osaka Loop Line," and "Can You Discover?" and Discovery makes excellent use of tempo change to transfer between sections of the songs. The talent from Vampire Weekend is what drew me to this album. The melodies on the keyboard by Batmanglij are sweet and creative, and in my opinion, make most of the songs, and Koenig plus auto-tune equals some catchy electro tunes to make for a fun, innovative summer soundtrack. Track listing below, with asterisks indicating standout tracks.

a Tribute to The King

At the risk of sounding cliche, it's absolutely true that all good things must come to an end. While we may never forget the controversy that seemed to follow him, it is an irrefutable fact that Michael Jackson is one of the greatest musicians who ever lived. The effects of his music cast ripples throughout not only the United States, but the entire world, and he was truly a world celebrity. From the fast-paced melody of Thriller to the calming serenade of Human Nature, Michael produced songs for all of us. This post is pretty short. Quite frankly, not enough can be said of the man with the white glove. As far as his music goes, look around. You'll find it. Michael's death affected us all, whether you choose to admit it or not, and in the grand scheme of things, we were all really blessed to have lived during the reign of the legendary King of Pop.


Rest In Peace Michael.

Sincerely,
The Supreme Society
