What we say

Rating: ecstatic This record left our Clint feeling ecstatic.

Hello Clint here. Can I just say the word 'autumnal' in relation to that last record? Thanks. Right onto the new stuff. First up Why? on Anticon. This is the first solo record from the cLOUDDEAD/Reaching Quiet guy. Its hip hop but not as we know it. Comes across more like a meeting of minds between Ween, Neutral Milk Hotel, They Might Be Giants and early Beck. Its lo-fi, folky, quirky, odd, off kilter and all those other words.  The guy is a cocking genius.  And how on earth do you pronounce Oaklandazuluasylum??

About the humble CD:

The CD is essentially a small portable face mirror which has an extra feature of being able to play music (through a thing known as a CD player). These CD's are a modern invention hence them being all shiny and digital. They can hold about 80 minutes of music and apparently are indestructible as you can smear jam on them and they still play (not as nourishing as toast mind you but when you're hungry.....). They sound crystal clear and are tiny convenient things. They lack the charm and warmth of their old analogue counterparts but their portability, convenience and ease of being duplicated make them a perfect thing of a thing for most folks. Jewel cases are the worst thing ever though and they really need to stop.
