Atmosphere - When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold

OK, I suck at writing reviews but I'm pretty bored and I'm gona have a shot. Anyway, heres Atmosphere's 5th studio album 'When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold' and it was worth the 3 year wait. Like the Slug we know, most, if not all the songs are narratives but still personal. It's pretty obvious that he loves telling stories, but he takes it up a step further by actually publishing a children's book with this album lol . As for Ant, I really haven't heard him speak, I don't know if I don't watch enough of there interviews or videos but every time I look at him I always imagined him as a mute lol. Anyway his production is still on key with Slug, I've also noticed that he uses the synths a fair bit with some of the songs, I never imagine synths with Slug but I enjoy it, it shows that they've really come far from the 'boom bap' and soul influences . Whats even better is that they don't saturate the album with it and stay true to their roots. What also surprises me is that Slug even sings, yes sings in a couple of the chrouses. Besides the songs with the heavy synths, comparing this album to the last release, it's a lot more chill IMO. You know what else surprises me? after a several hours listening to this album I can't believe how much I can relate to some of the songs, but not 'directly' if you what mean. One thing no doubt is that this is my new favourite album of 2008 and will mos def' be on my top 10 and the end of the year, treat this shit now.

The Roots - Birthday Girl ft. Patrick Stump and Sasha Grey

I never liked Fallout Boy or Patrick Stump, but since he produced Little Weapon for Lupe Fiasco, I've gained some degree of respect for him. Anyway heres The Roots new single Birthday Girl, the chick in the video is Sasha Grey, if you don't know her Google her up and watch her vids, shes up for anything lol.

Portishead - Third

When I woke up today and looked out the window, there was an abundance of grey clouds. It only got worst when I found out there was no milk for my bowl of crunchy nut or cheese for my tomato and cheese toast. I was forced to eat stale donuts, stale donuts were stale. Starting a shit day ahead of me I proceeded read the daily news and play some background noise. I kinda got sick of Murs and The Maccabees in the morning so I looked through my download folders and I noticed 'Portishead'.



Hmmm, I don't really know much about Portishead, they're poms and that they've been in the scene since mid 90's and their new album, Third, is their 1st one in a decade. After reading the news, I finally noticed what was being played on iTunes, shit was immense. I wiki'd Portishead and learnt that they're primarily a trip hop band and were responsible for it's growth. Yeh I listen to Massive Attack but not enough for me to say that I know trip hop. After another listen through the album, I'm confident to say that trip hop should sound like this. Even though it was a cold and cloudy day, listening to this dark, emotional, modern, moody and raw album made me enjoy a cloudy and cold day. It also made me wanna go to England and enjoy it's shitty cold and cloudy weather, providing I'm listening to Portishead. Anyway, I'm getting carried away, even though this album made a shitty day somehow enjoyable, I'm still hungry.

The Presets - Apocalypso

I know I'm late, shut up.

Crisp sounds, semi-comatose vocals and wailing synths, the Presets we know and love. With the pounding 'My People' as a club staple in the last couple of months, the expectations for the next single surely wouldn't be as good as the last. And it's not lol, but the new single, 'This Boy's In Love' is sorta on par, sorta, but no doubt its a killer song and will make an impact. More doesn't always mean it's better, The Presets knew this and layered the songs more subtly. If this was gona get any criticism, it would be the lyrics as they feel the same throughout the album, but who cares with beats like this. And I'll admit Apocalypso isn't as fluid as Beams, but it's evident that this is a more complete album. If you're a fan of the lads this will be a musical orgasm. The 1st quarter hasn't even finished yet and no doubt this will be in everyones top 10 for best album of the year.

Hookah table

NO, not a table to put your hookah on or a table to put your hooker on. Back in the days, having a session on the gill (thats what people call hookah over here) was the cool thing to do, now I realised how overrated it really was. But now looking at this table makes me wanna re-live those memories without knocking it over and having burn marks on floor from the coal. Costing around $600 - $800 you can build and customize your table with radiata pine and whatevs as I have done bellow
