Vinyl Me Please Essentials

[Joe Mac]

nnn

When I hear world rap for whatever reason it makes me think of Rubberbandits - Horse Outside

Fuck Your Mitsubishi I’ve got a horse outside!

Please, we've had aotm from people that have done so much worse.

To be fair they didn't know van Morrison was that way yet

John Mayer though I'm going to stay defending

 

[LordKel]

Troubadour or Dusty Foot Philosopher would be amazing.

Is K'naan's stuff on vinyl?

I love this song

Idk...its a stretch that it would be considered essential, but it's the first thing that popped in my head when thinking World rap

Would be great since it goes for $250-$500. I can't justify buying it but I've thought about it many times.

If the Electronic pick is Cut Copy's "In Ghost Colours" I will....wait for the wider repress a month or two later.

 

[Ericj32]

So #100 is world rap. Is that even a genre?

Yes, and it will be Rett Fra Hjertet, the debut album from Norway's Karpe.

Ha, no I've tried a few of their music videos at the time they were all the rage and I think my brain couldn't comprehend what was going on. The closest thing to sensory overload I've had.

They put on a weirdly sexual live show. Like, I mean the time I saw them, there wasn't a lot of clothing on the people on-stage.

 

[duke86fan]

i'm actually of all things... kinda hoping that the may ROTM is a new release

because porter robinsons new album (nurture) is coming out in april


and if VMP is doing that as an ROTM i'm staying and picking it up immediately because the singles for this album are goddamn AMAZING (even if they are standard happy EDM)

(also if it is post as many anime gifs as possible)

Talking About These Times With Cut Copy this probably doesn't mean anything, right?

I’m thinking The Knife- Silent Shout would make a better contender for the electronic album. 15th anniversary and could use a reissue. I think they’ve done a Fever Ray exclusive too maybe?

3.5 years ago so definitely means nothing

You can get that album on vinyl for $76 shipped on discogs.

The cheapest cut copy - in ghost colours on discogs is $375. I would gladly pay $76 at this point.

but thats dance music only in the way that LCD soundsystem is.. its basically just post punk with synths... and its part of a specific older scene thats faded out and doesn't have as much influence on modern electronic

Definitely think that Silent Shout is the most likely given the track record. But there's not much to work on with the clues.

 

[yukbon]

Yeah, this is odd. What's considered world? So far I've only got M.I.A. from Sri Lanka as "essential", unless they start counting the UK.

Orishas () and MC Solaar () came to mind.

Ana Tijoux is worth checking out:

Isn't the only clue: "electronic"?

Eh I guess I'm carried away because LCD soundsystem was basically just post punk and I guess I assumed all DFA stuff was like that

Speaking of DFA, Hercules and Love Affair self titled needs a reissue too. Kinda surprised it hasn’t gotten one over the years. It’s a damn near classic and the song Blind is iconic.
