My guess is Boston would have rather had the Lakers/Kings pick than Brooklyn's. Would the Cavs have said no had the Celtics put in the other pick?

Lanquidity is interesting so far - the title track sounds like a band just barely staying on the rails for 8 minutes. listening to "Where Pathways Meet" right now. It's atypical that a bandleader feels no obligation to provide a resolution of tension as Sun Ra does here; this is a credit to him.

other thoughts on your list, icon:
-what happened to Sam Cooke's live album at the Harlem Square Club? I remember you loved that one
-I never really got Ascension, but haven't given it a listen in several years. maybe it's time
-is Atlantis the best way into Sun Ra?
-Clifford Brown & Max Roach may be the greatest jazz album of all time, so glad to see Roach represented here (even if I haven't heard this one)

His boiler room set in Mumbai was quite good, looking forward to the show! jealous that you got to see Kode9 along with him.

In other news, Pitchfork just released a top albums of the '60s list. Here's the top five:
1) The Velvet Underground - The Velvet Underground & Nico
2) The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds
3) John Coltrane - A Love Supreme
4) The Beatles - The Beatles
5) Nina Simone - Wild is the Wind

full list here: http://pitchfork.com/features/lists-and-guides/the-200-best-albums-of-the-1960s/

What do you guys think? Some initial takeaways: #1 is probably correct, Abbey Road is the best Beatles album, and the biggest snubs from the top 20 are Astral Weeks, Giant Steps, and Os Mutantes' self-titled.

Let's not try to overshadow Jimmy Eat World now they were doing it up before Brand New was even a thought

JEW is great. You can pretty easily "get" the middle on the first listen, for instance

apologies for the bad comparison, that was the first more mainstream pop punk band i could think of

lol there is a track called "play crack the sky" which would be a great mastodon reference if it hadn't come out in 2003

Fav track so far is "sic transit gloria" but that will probably change

first impressions are positive! there's more to unpack than with a band like jimmy eat world

Bill Simmons once put a 5-year moratorium on any complaining about a team's performance after a championship. This would go double for a team like the Cubs. If you had told me in April 2016 that we would win the WS guaranteed in exchange for 10 subsequent seasons of 100 losses, I'd take it in a heartbeat.

But I'd feel really disappointed if Milwaukee or St. Louis takes the division this year. Am I spoiled?

I can get into good pop punk, so Deja will be my starting point (edit: on "sic transit gloria" now. I fuck with this)

just saw that topic raving about Science Fiction too

Get so chummy with Putin that they both actually get rid of all the nukes for real? Not even sure that would do it but it's a start.

I wouldn't even want that. China's got em too. Reduction yes

My rough top 5 so far this year, in some order:

Jay Som - Everybody Works
Varg - Nordic Flora Series Pt. 3: Gore-Tex City
Oddisee - The Iceberg
Bing & Ruth - No Home of the Mind
Vince Staples - Big Fish Theory

I've been listening to a lot of kyuss/deftones/early qotsa recently - does anyone have recs for similar artists? the more contemporary the better

Also, been gone for a while - does the aim chat still work or did we transition to something else?

Trump's presence in the White House alone is divisive in a way that I think hurts this country - he could revert back to single-payer and I'd still think we'd be better off without him.

I hadn't heard of Sammus - gotta look into her (any songs in particular?)

i really like:
Azealia Banks
Missy Elliott
Tink
Ladybug from Digable Planets

Neneh Cherry's "Buffalo Stance" made a strong impression on me but I haven't listened to her beyond that song
