Community New music / recommendations

The Cure have played – and livestreamed – their new album in its entirety yesterday, and it was a great show


they also played a whole other set right after.

Great album.

less of a music tip – but a youtube channel recommendation: Arte uploads a lot of concerts up on youtube, I believe for generally a year (I assume due to some rights limitations)


check it out, they feature a vast array of genres

This popped into my Youtube random play when a video i was watching ended and damn, i was just thinking about this song the other day at work.
I did think it was older than 5 years though so there must be a couple of earlier songs i heard before then. I'll have to go digging.



edit: thinking about it, i think it was a "gentleman rapper" that did another similar track. Now i'm intrigued and need to find out.

New Aphex Twin compilation (I think? — I never heard of this release before, nor do any of the song "titles" ring any bells)


also: what a cover!
