Great turnout last night! Hope you guys enjoyed Mezzanine. I've been trying to make sure we have a variety of albums, so maybe we'll do some more electronic ones in the future. But for next week: This week's album:Remain in LightTalking HeadsNew wave/Worldbeat/Post-punk/Funk/Experimental rock
Remain in Light is the fourth studio album by American new wave band Talking Heads, released on October 8, 1980, on Sire Records. It was recorded at locations in the Bahamas and the United States between July and August 1980 and was produced by the quartet's long-time collaborator Brian Eno. The album peaked at number 19 on the Billboard 200 in the US and at number 21 on the UK Albums Chart. The record was certified Gold in the US and in Canada during the 1980s.
The members of Talking Heads wanted to make an album that dispelled notions of frontman and chief lyricist David Byrne leading a back-up band. They decided to experiment with African polyrhythms and, with Eno, recorded the instrumental tracks as a series of samples and loops, a novel idea at the time. Additional musicians were frequently used throughout the studio sessions. The lyric writing process slowed Remain in Light 's progress, but was concluded after Byrne drew inspiration from academic literature on Africa. The artwork for the album's cover was crafted with the help of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's computers and designing company M&Co. Following the album's completion, Talking Heads expanded to nine members for promotional concerts.
Remain in Light was widely acclaimed by critics. Praise centred on its cohesive merging of disparate genres and sonic experimentation. The record has been featured in several publications' lists of the best albums of the 1980s and the best albums of all time, and it is often considered Talking Heads' magnum opus.

This week's album:FlockaveliWaka Flocka FlameTrap/Gangsta rap
Flockaveli is the debut studio album by American rapper Waka Flocka Flame. It was released on October 5, 2010, by 1017 Brick Squad Records, Warner Bros. Records and Asylum Records. The album is titled after the Italian political theorist Machiavelli, and was inspired by American rapper Tupac Shakur, whose final stage name and pseudonym before his death was Makaveli. Recording sessions took place at Next Level Studios in Houston, Texas, Nightbird Studios in Los Angeles, California and S-Line Ent. in Atlanta, Georgia.
Upon its release, Flockaveli received generally positive reviews from music critics, who complimented its musical intensity, brazen lyrics, and gangsta rap ethos. The album debuted at number 6 on the US Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 37,000 copies in the United States. As of August 15, 2011, the album has sold 285,000 copies in the United States. Note that I have a festival to work next week, so I won't be hosting this one. Arthur's gonna take care of the festivities instead. Be nice yo
