It's been happening for a long time, but there's a sudden and notable increase. Also, it's also an excuse to talk about three albums that might've otherwise gone undiscussed. Also, fuck off.
This is the kind of thinking that has given us 8 million grammys for past-their-prime veterans. This is the Supernatural thinking, the Two Against Nature thinking, the Herbie Hancock Joni Mitchell tribute album thinking. Throw this thinking in the trash.
This is true, but the rap touring circuit has literally never been healthier. This guy's been touring heavily and steadily for the past two years. You'd think he'd pick somethings up by now.
I made the mistake of reading Lindsay's review before writing mine. I have a very high opinion of myself as a critic, but she is the motherfucking best.

It's Waxahatchee. I'm pretty sure she's the only person ever to get AOTW three times. Would probably be Young Thug if his release schedule wasn't so chaotic.
Murphy was talking that shit, tho not directly about the Rapture, back when LCD were first active, too. I loved it. I interviewed him when Sound of Silver was coming out, and he was like, "These bands like Bloc Party are so nice to us, and I just want to DESTROY them."
If any of these guys get huge, you won't have to; they'll find you. Other than that: Maybe Ugly God? If you feel like it? There's nothing you urgently have to check out.
