You should check out Anthony Fantano's theneedledrop videos. He's by far the greatest music/album critic on YouTube and he's a legend to pair with Nardwuar- eightbitsamurai I wonder if you know him?

this his review of Acid Rap

this is his review of Because the Internet

Test out any band or album on his channel, I bet he's got something on 'em, from any genre. He focuses on hip-hop and rap though. watching his critique has taught me a lot about music and appreciation, and he's super well-spoken.

Yes, I have. Although I believe my favorite video of his is the one where Death Grips broke up.

It's like listening to your drunk ex call you and leave a 10 minute voicemail.

Also, ref, fuck STN MTN/Kauai, just check out Royalty. Also free.

Word, you guys are great. I assume I can't download any of these things direct to iTunes (aka onto an iPhone or iDevice) though? Those are my main/only listening apparatuses, and although it's not technically true, I encourage you to treat me as though I do not really have a computer. [1]

[1] I have a laptop. It has no disk drive. It has no iTunes. It will die soon. I bought an iPad to replace it. Foolish me, believing that a tablet could replace a computer - for me, personally, it cannot. So the laptop is going to last until it dies, but I won't have another for a bit, I'm afraid.

Aww, shit. There...might be a deluxe version of Royalty that you can download from iTunes on your iPad?

Just checked, there isn't. Same with Acid Rap.

This is literally the one instance where getting free shit is actually screwing you over.

I can cope, and see what I can finagle between the laptop and YouTube. Thanks!
