Found a couple of decent songs this year, bought an assload of albums that were mostly enjoyable and some that sucked so bad I gave them to tramps and kids in the street.
But picked up one Saturday that hasn't left the CD player since, and is without doubt my fav of 2004 by a country mile.
"Storms Are Brewing" - Blade.
UK hiphop. He's been around for years, didn't really pay attention until his album "The Unknown" with Mark B. Since then have gotten into Rodney P, Skinnyman, Lewis Parker & that whole London Posse stuff.
And Storms are Brewing is the finest hiphop I've heard in a looong time, certainly the best thing this year.
Furious rhyming skills and absolute storming beats. No comparision to anything else.
Worth buying just to hear Grazzhoppa's scratching on "Reflection" and the insane string-quartet rhythm on "Pop Idol"
If you're into hiphop of any description, seek out "Storms Are Brewing", Blade.
You won't regret it.

Bubblegum by The Mark Lanegan Band is still my fave of the year. The Feel Bad Album of the summer...
Anyway, bringing the topic back onto subject..
Never really been in the whole British Hip Hop scene, find the accents grate after a while. I'll give this a go though because I've heard a lot of good things about Mark B and Blade.
Just hope there's some tracks on Winmx to download.

My album of 2004 is Van Halen _ Best Of Both Worlds, if "Best Of" albums count.
Otherwise there has been nothing interesting.
Probably because I'm too poor to afford albums.

Heh, I love Mark B & Blade, The Unknown is one of my favourite hip hip albums actually and ever since I discovered it I've frantically been trying to find something else they've done (and only managed to uncovered a few EPs).
Shall check this out I think, I remember seeing Blade on Never Mind the Buzzcocks, putting a phat human beat box behind all the songs he had to re-enact (even where there were none before).
The Skinnyman album is cool, check out Falling Down by Jehst, it's also rather brilliant.

Ta for the recommendation - I shall check it out. I too like 'You Don't See the Signs'
As for my current Album of 2004, it'd have to be Kanye West - The College Dropout.

can I have your copy?
Yeah that's ok, some tool from Feeder remixed it and stuck cheesy ROCK guitars all over it though.
If you even slightly like that song, go get "Storms Are Brewing"
Even my missus loves it and copied it.

Good stuff.
