Monday night; as I sit in my apartment I consume a sleeve of saltine crackers without fear, Fantastic Four on mute washes numbly over me from the corning of the room...plot-line virtually lost in my mind (can 'monsters' really find love? A man engulfed in flames seems be arguing this very question with a talking piece of Earth's crust). I listen to a leak of the new UNKLE, which as of track six sounds like half ass Oasis sans British accents drunk on sparkling apple juice....Summer nights.

Sometimes music is better off fleeting, purely hedonistic...enjoyable. Take Flying Lotus, west coast beatsmith (great nephew of Alice Coltrane) who 'got made' recording the interval tracks on Adult Swim's late night cartoon programming. This year he released his second full length Los Angeles and it has monopolized my headphones since June. Electronica mixed with citar, jazz, and space noise samplings, this album means nothing to me, and it is absolutely badass.
