Help me out with some questions.

In my opinion, Chance > Childish Gambino. I think you wrote a post about "Because the Internet" and kind of stated the album was a bit over the place. Where do you think Kendrick Lamar fits into this spectrum? I am asking because I have listened to all 3 (although to be honest I just got into checking Chance out this morning) and I'm trying to figure out if I can buy 1 album from these 3, which I should buy, or if I can buy 2, which I should buy. I actually saw Kendrick Lamar live but it didn't stick with me because it was a huge stadium and I only knew like two of his songs.

Also, seriously, how good is 1989? Is it worth a buy or a listen? (Right now I found Acidrap full length on youtube so I'm checking it out.)

I guess I am thinking about acquiring some new music, most of the "new' music I have bought lately has not been new to me, but just "I WANT TO HAVE THIS ON MY IPOD!"

The most new-to-me music I have bought recently would have to be Nicki Minaj's "Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded the Re-up" and I feel it's like, 50/50, even though I lovedloveloved Pink Friday.

Besides that I re-bought some Postal Service and Death Cab but both of these bands are so old to me that there is nothing novel, really, about having the music on my iPod now. Except that it's there, when I want it.

Since this is Pubski and therefore I can ramble, I'll add in: MUSICIANS WHOSE ALBUMS I HAVE REGRETTED BUYING

Gotta say it. Corinne Bailey Rae (the self-titled) man. Everything on that album annoys me.

A Best of Talking Heads album. I've found I have to be in the right mood for the talking heads - even though I totally believe David Byrne is brilliant, brilliant brililant.

The Blight and the Bloom by Two Gallants. Gotta admit it, I didn't realize it then, but I basically bought it to listen to it because of a guy I liked. Neither the crush on the guy or the album lasted.
