  • Patrick Stump, Truant Wave: Fall Out Boy mastermind does an experimental r&b, concept EP. “Spotlight (Oh Nostalgia)” might make you cry. On “Cute Girls,” Stump gracefully moves from an MJ impression to a brazen Prince swipe. Perfect.
  • Stalley, Lincoln Way Nights (Intelligent Trunk Music): Stalley’s the first actually engaging, conventionally “lyrical” rapper in quite some time. Is there a single #hashtag rap on this thing? Boring at first, then, slowly but surely all you wanna listen to.
  • Hercules & Love Affair, Blue Songs: Queerer, blacker, and better than their debut. House LPs are supposed to be varied and moody, not front-to-back floor-fillers, alright? Do you also find Inner City’s Paradise inconsistent?! More about it here.
  • Mama’s Mustache, Next Level: Picks up where Sleepy Brown’s Mr. Brown left off. Imagine if Lil Will’s Better Days had actually gotten to stores and was some kind of game-changer. Fun, edifying, and completely ignored. Come on guys!
  • Mullyman, Mullyman Vs. The Machine: Mullyman blacks out on for an hour straight, Sonic the Hedgehogging his way through futuristic soul from producers DJ Booman and MBAHlievable, and even attacking G Dep’s “Special Delivery.” More about it here.
  • ***BONUS REISSUE PICK*** Nate Dogg, G-Funk Classics: Dr. Dre’s comeback features Skylar Grey and Akon. Meanwhile, Nate Dogg’s recovering from two strokes. Bet you didn’t even know Thump Records reissued Nate’s own little headphone masterpiece, did you?

  1. [...] Patrick Stump, Soul Punk: Apparently the new Coldplay record is their bold “pop” record, but like, fuck that. There’s not even something like “Moves like Jagger” on there. The dude from F.O.B. made the year’s sophisticated, unabashed pop album. Twice!!!! [...]
