Nujabes - Metaphorical Music (2003)


This is one of my favourite hip hop albums, and I'm not just hyping it 'cause he died. The guest rappers aren't amazing but they do their part; where this album really shines is the beats. No one made beats as soulful and creative as this man did. It's sad that he's gone, he will be missed by many.

R.I.P. Jun Seba aka Nujabes: February 19, 1974 - February 26, 2010

Guided by Voices - Bee Thousand (1994)


An indie rock classic that has grown on me immensely since I first heard it. The songs here are quite short but they're so damn catchy that I love most of them now. It's REALLY lo-fi, I've heard black metal albums that sound better than this but in this case it works really well. Probably one of my favourite albums of the 90s.

Animal Collective - Feels (2005)


The song the guys were playing at the bar on Monday was Banshee Beat, and it's actually my favourite song on here. This sounds totally different from MPP, I'm pretty sure there's no electronics here at all. It's definitely...weird, but I love it and you seem to like freak folk so let's give it a shot.

Low - I Could Live in Hope


Considered a classic slowcore album. I have their whole discography downloaded, so if you like this and want more let me know.

Red House Painters - Red House Painters (Rollercoaster)


A remarkable album with some of my favorite material Mark Kozelek ever created. Katy Song is an absolute classic, and the rest of the tunes all have a lot to offer.

Sparklehorse - Good Morning Spider


This is the band of that guy who just died a little while ago. Really good stuff aside from a few forgettable songs.
