(apologies, there doesn’t appear to be a domino emoticon)

Are you trying to make this the 'balloon' of 2020? Because I'm in.

just want to share and spread the good vibes - anything else is a bonus

DOMINO!!! 🀄️🀄️🀄️🀄️🀄️

fun thread!

Just popping in to say I really really love this. thanks!

somebody asked me about the language in the song. is it Martinique patois? I don't detect. even a hint of French in there

Deej put me onto this and I am obsessed

yeah cool song!

dl, I certainly can't claim to understand all of it, but lots of it is in (patois-ed) English

yeah, only the first lines of the verses sound like they **might** be French patois - not that I understand any of it.

I guess the correct term is Martiniquan Creole.

bumping this coz i want to see something new and fresh on top of SNA

my Shine poll not cutting it for you breastcrawl?

nope, neither do Springsteen, New Order, Smashing Pumpkins, Biden and the Obituary thread.

to name just a few

they’re all fine on their own, but to see them clotted together like that is very depressing

ILM just wants to go back to the basics

i’m gonna take you to your comfort zone!

This is nice and needs a thread bump

timely

You don't like What's Going On breastcrawl ?

where did I say anything about What’s Going On?? it’s a great album that I listened to a lot at one point in my life, a long time ago. I might have put it on (so to speak) once or twice in the past decade and I have no inclination whatsoever to continuously have it at the front of my mind to gauge all the new (to me) music I’m listening to against. what would be the fucking point of that?
this apparently bottomless obsession with the various reshufflings of a very limited set of albums (or definition of what is relevant music even) is extremely tiresome - ILM at its worst.

I think the most demoralizing ILM occurrence lately was that BOC v. BOC poll, harmlessly frivolous in itself but it got like 140 votes! I had no idea the borad had become a place for silent lurkers to click on polls to that extent

for me it was the hostile takeover of the Best Album on My Favourite Albums Of... polls last year. the 70s ones were fun, diverse, and inclusive, but after that they became gradually more policed and by the time we got to the 90s all the fun had been sucked out of the whole thing. it was like opening a door and suddenly realising you are very much in the wrong room, an unwelcoming fiefdom.

(but if anything, the number of votes only increased iirc)

but this in not why I made this thread!
it's for celebrating stuff like this:

Lijay x Kriss TDD x T-Will TDD • Copilote

in is

Thanks. I prefer to use my limited music listening time for new or at least new to me stuff.

I love Copilote but it's a bit cheeky that they've included a text message noise on every bar. Very distracting

a little doggie told me to post this one here (or was it all a dream?):

Man, Martinique just quietly churns out dark, minimalist hip hop banger sand I'm here for it:

Maureen - Tic

"Tic" is great. such a cool sound they got going on there!

an older Maureen:

and this pre-Domino Domino:

Nacho x Jahlys • Gang

These are all so great. But I keep going back to BB Compte, the way it betrays its Afro-trap rootings by ramping up the drums right towards the end

new Maureen:

reposting from the rolling dancehall thread:

Currently enjoying some Shatta, a new mostly francophone afro dancehall hybrid genre. Don’t know much more than what I already said yet, lol, but here’s a jam.
