23 years ago today was the first time I saw Saul Williams live, accompanied by a full band at a club in the Gastown district of Vancouver. It was also the day Tool released  Lateralus, which I first listened to with my discman, absolutely baked off my gourd in the back alley behind the club. One of my absolute favourite days of 2001!
First episode of Sample Mining is up now! If you're interested, follow, share, rate and be sure to answer the poll after each episode!

I select a sample each week and use that to tell a story about the background or history of the music or artist in some way.

Big Firesale will be happening in the next few days. Be on the lookout for great N&G deals

Pitchfork sure is giving out a lot of BNM these days.

Didn’t used to be even one a week. You’d be lucky to have one a month. There’s two on the front page right now.

This is a meritocracy. Everyone gets a gold star for showing up

Eh, it's about as common as it's been the last 6-7 years. They frequency might have increased, but they're also reviewing a lot more stuff than they used to. And there's quite a few BNM designations these days, but the average rating is a lot lower. Nowhere near as many 9+ ratings as there used to be. It's a wider net graded at a higher curve, it seems like.
You can stream the new Kishi Bashi album, which isn't out till August 23rd rn, for like 12 more hours if you are a member of Joyful Noise VIP (5 bucks a month)!

My initial reaction was, wow, he's really channeling ELO here, and then I read the description, and they reference inspiration from ELO :) .
I know I will probably get flamed for this post but the new Kings of Leon is really good. Definitely their best in a long time.
Why did I chose U.N.K.L.E.'s "PSYENCE FICTION" album for the N&G AoTM? And what are some original sample sources? Read all about it here:
