New Music: Tyler, The Creator “Goblin”

Posted by Serge On May - 12 - 2011

Tyler, The Creator “Goblin” 
Released by the XL label in a one-album deal, Goblin is the first widely accessible release from the Odd Future crew, an outlandish alternative hip-hop consortium that was the epitome of underground hip in 2011. With social networking, video sharing, and mixtapes as their tools, Odd Future‘s wild mix of skateboarding culture and scatological rhymes struck a chord with the right-click-and-save crowd, who will be relieved to know that the crew’s leader delivered his aboveground debut without any sign of outside influence. Parents and defenders of good taste should be just as horrified because “God damn I love bitches/Especially when they just suck dick and do dishes” (“Transylvania”) is the way Tyler, the Creator rolls, coming incorrectly in a ski mask, irresponsibly rapping about rape, and with suicidal tendencies: the mindset, not the band. It’s just as ugly as it sounds, and when Tyler tells listeners “this ain’t horrorcore,” it’s followed by an even more ridiculous claim that you can “dig deeper” for proof, but then comes a brilliant line like “She’s the one I’m thinking of when I am beating Richard up” (“Her”), or an incredibly infectious zombie anthem (“Sandwitches”), and suddenly, this Grand Guignol called Goblin lives up to the hype. Just like on his debut mixtape, Bastard, the rapper’s fictional therapist helps tie the tracks together for a decent overall flow, and Tyler’s production is as attractive as ever, contrasting his disgusting rhymes and gruff voice with subdued, sometimes serene beats that echo and creep. While the album is a revolutionary object in that such fantastic filth was born and flourished outside the corporate — and even indie — music industry, production is about the only thing to be objective about, as everything else is polarizing and preaching to the converted. Odd Future? Odd Freakshow is more like it, but if you’ve ever wondered what an inspired mash of Three 6 Mafia, Pharell Williams, and Kool Keith would sound like if they absolutely hated you, then Goblin is the sweet pain you crave.

 

Tyler, The Creator “Goblin” available at ATMV!

El Paso, Texas – All That Music & Video (ATMV), El Paso’s largest and most popular independently-owned music retailer has updated its brand name and logo.  This update reflects the latest changes in the marketplace and the evolution of the store’s identity in response to those changes, according to owner George Reynoso.  Founded in 1980 as Nostalgia Records and renamed Nostalgia Records & Tapes in 1985, the original names of the store represented how music was bought and sold at that time.  By the time a major name change and distinctive colorful new logo introduced All That Music in 1994, almost all music sales were in the CD format.

 

The next stage in the evolution of the store was a significant expansion of inventory to include new and used movies on DVD.   As video became a greater part of sales, it was added to the brand and logo in 2007 and All That Music & Video became the new identity.  Most recently, ATMV was remodeled and the vinyl LP section greatly expanded to accommodate a resurgence of interest in LPs among both younger and older consumers.  At the same time, ATMV began to focus more directly on the store’s importance as the go-to-store to find new, used and collectible vinyl LPs, CDs, and DVDs.  Just as vinyl LPs gave way to more advanced technologies, CDs and DVDs will soon be replaced and become more “collectible.”   Therefore, “Collector’s Marketplace” has been added to the All That Music & Video brand and re-designed logo in order to reflect the role that the store will play in the marketplace of the future.

 

All That Music & Video – “Collector’s Marketplace” is much more than just a store selling products that are available elsewhere.  It is a unique place to buy or sell the highest quality new, used and collectible vinyl LPs, CDs and DVDs, and find the latest pop culture posters and novelty items.

New Music: The Roots-”How I Got Over”

Posted by Serge On July - 3 - 2010

The Roots-”How I Got Over”

The not-very-hip-hop Dirty Projectors, Monsters of Folk, Patty Crash, and Joanna Newsom contribute one way or another to How I Got Over. Rest assured, the ninth studio album from the Late Night with Jimmy Fallon house band is very much its own, and skeptics should be reminded that hip-hop history is filled with figures as unlikely as Billy Squier (who probably did not bump into Run-D.M.C. backstage at The Alan Thicke Show). Very much in line with recent albums like Game Theory and Rising Down, neither of which was tailored for a good time, How I Got Over is the most subdued of the three. The blood doesn’t really get pumping until the fifth track. Up to that point, however, the band creates some of its most downcast and alluring material, covering solitude, self-destruction, and just about every planetary ill. It’s all vividly conveyed through pensive arrangements, sobering rhymes, spooky choruses, and even spookier backing vocals. Truck North, P.O.R.N., Dice Raw, and Blu make gripping contributions, but no one cuts to the chase quite like Black Thought, who can condense modern reality into one deftly delivered and commanding line, like “Got immunized for both flus, I’m still sick.” From there, the spirit lifts a little, though the songs are still deeply planted in realism. The title track is modern soul-blues that cooks, assisted by some serious singing from Black Thought and an inspiring chorus from Dice Raw. On “Now or Never,” Phonte’s dejection (“My role was cast before I even auditioned for it”) is tempered with Dice Raw‘s glints of determination. For good measure, or perhaps for the sake of a little balance, the back half also features a hardcore boast session between Thought, Peedi Peedi, and Truck North that cannot be disregarded. This is yet another Roots album that lends itself to repeated, beginning-to-end listening. It is gracefully and cleverly sequenced, from the way the tracks melt into each other to the way “Doin’ It Again” utilizes John Legend‘s anguished “Again” prior to transitioning into the subtly anthemic “The Fire,” which features a fresh collaboration with…John Legend.

The Roots new album “How I Got Over” is now available at All That Music & Video for only $13.99!
