yo, humanity sucks. i agree. hope you're doing well. let's connect over IG or something. all i do is complain about humanity lmao

let's bring last.fm back, it can be 2009 all over again!

yo lets be best friend

The new Chance was meh... Some amazing tracks early on but the album was kind of not for me and that makes me sad.

Hey! Sorry for the super late reply on your comment! But yeah, I'm back on Tumblr! Here's my url: zora-joe.tumblr.com I'll follow you back! :)

You absolutely should start scrobbling again. How else will I be able to stalk your listening habits in real time?!

first comment on your page for 2015, YES

you should try hitting them up more, man. you were always a cool dude to talk about music with. and haha, yeah music tastes evolve just like people do. it's weird. and really? ah man well at least you tried, gotta give yourself credit for that. i say you go into rap MF Doom style, with a mask and disguise your voice. no one will even know...

dude where have you been?

I'm digging your Tumblr, btw. Following! Also, I didn't there was a new world's end girlfriend EP, but now I'm totally stoked.

Man it's weird looking at my older comments here now, I basically hate kpop now hahaha. Also, I swear I'm totally behind when it comes to j-indies, I mainly only listen to the bands I discovered years ago, and only download the new stuff they put out. Any new stuff out there I should totally be getting down on? Of course I still LOVE Japanese indie and wanna get more into it again, so I'm definitely interested in your proposal.

Hey, interesting charts and combinations of artists, you seem to have really cool taste in music. :)

Hey buddy. Always loved your diverse charts. Any album suggestions for me?

that's a good ass list. to be honest, i haven't listened to St. Vincent all that much. need to get on that. you don't listen to Kendrick Lamar, huh? and actually...i didn't think i'd say this, but the new Common is fucking good. came back with a vengeance, especially after the trainwreck that was UMC. No I.D. produced the whole thing, one of the most unheralded producers ever. and yeah, speak of disappointments haha. i still have faith in Lupe, unlike some people. and i know what you mean. i just realized what a daunting library i have, with all the untouched music i haven't given attention. trying to do that right meow

Yeah, G-Dragon has gotten a bit of a bad rap for plagiarism with one song, but generally he's really talented when it comes to composing and performing music. You should hear his falsetto in this song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9bCmdeFxjg

well that's definitely good to hear. i was kind of MIA on lastfm recently, but i think all the good music (like you said) that came out this year helped. and man, that's horrible. sorry to hear that, college game stressful. (i don't actually say that in life, but why do i say that a lot on here). and yeah don't rush production, it'll come to you at the most random of times. and definitely. what are your favorite releases?

Btw Desmond is such an awesome and manly name.

That being said... there's a lot of fuck yous and whatnot thrown around in k-rap. But most people who say stuff like that stick to Epik High's popular releases and... not much else at all really. Your page is my new ranting space.

Yeah, it's totally weird, Epik High are pioneers of modern Korean hip-hop, not pop. I hate it when people say Korea makes rap listenable. I actually listen to more Korean rap than hip-hop music in general, but I don't get the people who only appreciate that specific nation's hip-hop. It's really odd. I guess it's an image thing/not being able to understand the words works for people who aren't into rude or riskué lyrics.

Yozoh <3 There's a lot of average kpop out there - so much of it is just copying what other people did that sold well in an attempt to do the same. It's usually more about good songs than good albums - Abracadabra by Brown Eyed Girls and TRICK by SNSD are examples of some of the best pop songs to ever have existed imho :D BIGBANG is probably the only group that is constantly putting out the best pop music with every song released, they're the best.

Totally. The image is a part of the kpop aesthetic - it's an inescapable part of being a fan of the genre and/or its artists. Since it's such a big part of it it often overrides the music itself, for sure, which is bad. But getting into everything else that makes Korean music and music in general what it is is a lot of the fun and a big part of being a fan. For a lot of people, anyway. Being a big fan of Tablo, BIGBANG, 2NE1 etc, I also enjoy reblogging images of them on Tumblr, watching videos of them messing around etc. Pretty typical kpop fandom stuff, but the listening to the music itself is always the most enjoyable part of being a fan. Ramble ramble.

nah i love kpop sorry for the false hope

"Music you have in common includes Brand New, Epik High, ART-SCHOOL, Childish Gambino and TOKiMONSTA." this is the best shit i've ever seen

oh man, my boy Desmond! what's up man, how you been? i'm doing good, just trying kick school's ass while discovering some new music every once in awhile. not as often as usual though. how's the music production coming?

Thats word, I didnt really pick up hip hop HARD till I was 11-12 myself. Yeah my parents were mainly classic rock, folk, blues, and the early days of metal, some oldies as well. Heard Jazz and stuff like that around friends and their family. Haha I am very lucky. Not only does she have good tastes shes ALSO a sports fan and we like the same teams as well (Packers and Celtics) not to mention can watch pro wrestling together as well haha, on top of all that shes beautiful, strong, smart black woman with a great sense of humor. I never lose sight of that blessing. I went through a lot of shitty ones before her. My ex before her hacked my AIM and lastfm and thats the least she did haha. You'll find her though, just gotta keep your heart and mind open. The right one will open up your soul to them as well and thats when you know.. And thanks man, very appreciated.

Yeah man same here, I think hating is lame, pointless, in my eyes: a wasted emotion. I don't like a lot of shit, but I don't waste my energy on it. I just wish em the best and keep it moving. Yeah I try and keep it eclectic too, I grew up that way but hip hop takes up most of my listening nowadays. Especially when I'm at home (since thats the only place I scrobble). My fiancee has a very eclectic tastes she puts me onto a lot of shit, even shit i don't think she realizes she does lol.. Love that girl. Exactly, never enough always a good thing to have haha.

Nice eclectic taste man, not familiar with em all but the ones I do I feel the eclecticism here. Seem like a chill dude in your about me as well. Hows everything?

Thanks for the music suggestion!! I'm all about Astronautalis's recent album, but when I finally saturate myself with it, Burial will be the next thing I check out. :) And film is DEFINITELY not a worthless thing to pursue! I also looove psychological thrillers and horror! I don't know why I do, because I scare easily, but it's so fun to be scared while watching a movie. (It's the going to bed afterwards that is rough, haha!) My brother is a real movie buff, & always talks about how it's all about the talent of directors, that directors are the ones who can pull amazing things out of actors. On facebook, he doesn't put down movie titles he likes, but directors. And thank you for the kind compliments! :) I don't do much art myself anymore; I kind of became disenchanted with photography because mine was starting to look like everyone else's. Ah well, maybe I just need a break!

thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanks

lol, thanks, i've been getting an influx of people commenting on them recently!

haha shit is hard. and hmm. Section.80, Returnof4Eva, Oneirology, Bon Iver. i would say as an album it'd be Oneirology, even though I don't listen to it all that often.

Hahaha, I feel you on the friends situation. As we speak, my roommate is blasting pop hits from like, two years ago..... A lot of my friends are into dubstep now, too, and I'm just kind of "meh" about it. Also, I read in your bio that you want to get into directing! That is super awesome! What kind of movies do you like and/or what kind of movies would you like to make? I had this big plan about going to PNCA in Portland to study photography, but that's kind of on the back burner right now.

Aww, thank you! I have a hard time finding people with similar music tastes to me... since I listen to a little bit of everything, I usually have at least one thing in common with a person, but we seem to have a bit more than that! :) I love your charts, too! I'd definitely suggest Astronautalis if you haven't listened to him before (my absolute favorite musician of all time!) - my hip-hop rec! He actually just released a new album tonight - one of the songs features Tegan from Tegan and Sara! And I'd also recommend OGRE YOU ASSHOLE's album AlphaBeta vs. Lambda for some ridiculously catchy songs my Japanese rec!) Sorry, I know you didn't specifically ask for recommendations, but I thought you might like them! Have a nice day!

that's sweet man. i haven't taken a class, although i probably should haha. i fucked with FL Studio for awhile, but it's hard to learn. good luck with it dude

haha yeah, it had a lot more momentum a few months though. i haven't listened to nearly as much new music since then. like at all haha. how's the producing coming?

oh shit, new Slow Club? that's my shit. and my 21st, oh shit. and yeah man, i posted it on my blog even haha. i liked it. i say 8.25. a lot of people don't like the electronic influences, but i did. you listen?

ah man, i see. we've all been there. that's good it's getting on track too; eager to hear something in the near future of yours. and yeah Krit was surprising really good. i'm not a big Southern rap fan, but his stuff was great. but good luck man, hope you end finding what you're looking for.

my boy Desmond, how you been?

nothing much man, i haven't been on here lately as much either. and damn, i can't create Spotify invitations yet. i got mine from here though: https://www.spotify.com/us/sprite/. hopefully it works for you./ and alright man, tell me when you're up and running. you could make some posts on my blog, you're more than welcome to. and haha, i can't thank you more enough. her music is almost as beautiful as she is.

Heh ok, maybe you've changed your ava :-p

Check out Jun Togawa after you're done with SR./TJ. It takes a while to get used to her- but it is so rewarding. Just start with her debut "Tamahime Sama" and work your way from there. There's a tonne of material but the solo work is the most accesable to start with.

thanks man! at least someone appreciates my work..no one dl's any shit off of my blog anymore lol. and damn, dling that. i just got spotify, really excited. you want an invite? i got lucky. like 60% of all music free streaming and best of all it scrobbles. i found 2 songs from Emmy there i've never heard too. ever hear "Big Water"? "The Catch"?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZqpgUZEdRJ0 :)

i definitely do, like all the time. i've only listened to like 20% of my library and i have 100+ bookmarked artists to check out. i was telling someone it's kind of depressing knowing i'll never listen to every song i want to in my lifetime probably -_-

hahah, mine would be different because i would just ask her to marry me. since that would include all of the above? then i would remind her our babies ethnicity would be awesome

One of the first times I really appreciated music was when I watched Kiki's Delivery Service by Miyazaki. I was old enough to understand what was going on (I watched Totoro before but he scared the shit out of me) and see how connecting the atmosphere to music really immersed you into the world that was being shown. The Final Fantasy series was what got me into VG music, Uematsu is a freaking genius. Spangle Call Lilli Line (SCLL for short) is so great, my faves by them are Sea and Cast a Spell on Her, both from the album PURPLE.
