Fourteenth! Damn! These threads have been chock full of great music from the beginning. Listening to your links is one of the highlights of my week. (Last week's thread.)

I came across a ton of music this week, including one day when I spent roughly nine hours listening to UK grime. Had lots of reading and work and so forth to get through, which lent itself to musical exploration.

I posted here about a bluesy Bon Iver side project -- album's called Grownass Man and represents a completely different side of Justin Vernon.

For something older and somewhat different, how about Magic Sam's West Side Soul? Attached: a classic.

PS: the new Black Angels was very interesting, Indicud was vaguely disappointing but not a bad album, and I saw Iron & Wine last night. His new album was really, really good.

ButterflyEffect:

Primarily Destroyer, specifically his albums Rubies and Kaputt. This song in particular blows my mind every time, it seems like such a genuine stream of consciousness thrown over some ambient/disco inspired music. It's got this weird feeling of being unclean to it.

Last night I may or may not have spent a good hour listening to DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince, which I am not ashamed at all to admit.
