It's dangerous to go alone! Take this.

Which item mentioned in Aesop Rock's catalog are you taking on a quest?

...maybe more gauze?

Out of curiosity…

How many people here are diagnosed with BPD? Since my recent diagnosis I’ve been fascinated with the connection between artists like Aes, Eyedea, Sage, and Slug to BPD and imagine it’s a huge chunk of the fan base.

Edit: As pointed out by someone in the comments BPD is a very narrow window for what I’m trying to ask- all neurodivergence’s is a lot closer to what I’m trying to ask- thoughI feel I can narrow it down more after I do more research. I apologize for my lack of specifics before posting.

Praise for Spirit Guide

One thing that brings me back to Spirit Guide a lot is (aside from dope beats), the ideas and phrases he's saying are accessible... but they're also about very unique places, people, or the woo-woo world.

So instead of finishing a song saying "no clue what that was about", or "okay I understand it all", it's more like: I know roughly 50% about what that was about... but I have never heard people use these images / words in lyrics before.

Like "Nescafe washing down a snake on a stick."

It's easy to understand. But the imagery is awesome and incredibly localized to that place in the world... it's just not the types of things I've ever encountered. Such a fun album. Pizza Alley is 50% lyrics I have to look up, yet I get the overall vibe quickly. Holy Waterfall is my fav on that album.

A missing None Shall Pass remix

So, this is gonna be super vague. But for some years, when you searched None Shall Pass remix on YouTube, it would typically be one of the first 2 results. I do not remember the name, but I do remember ​there was a very pleasing pitch adjustment and a panning to the beginning of the chorus. It was up for a long time, and now I can't find it.

Thanks in advance, and also drop your favorite remixes of the track if you want.

It emerged from our bathroom ceiling over 24 hours

Forgive me, but this is truly not not what I planned to encounter today…

We live in a condo and it emerged from the ceiling of our small bathroom over a short time span. I’m not actually sure whether it’s electrical wiring that looks biological or a fairytale-esque magic mushroom or something far more sinister.

If anyone could please look at the attached images and let me know what on earth I’m looking at or even the general category of such a thing I would greatly appreciate it!

Anyone ever crafted an album from features and B-sides?

Update 2: I'll leave this available for download for a bit longer

If you're looking for the B-sides and Rarities vol 1-3, you can find them on this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/aesoprock/s/5nD04qLQtj

If you'd like to download the album I curated (Death Perception) which contains some of the B-sides and some newer tracks, you can get it here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vblMcPB3KovceaeuZmDfSiaO-eH7kdM4/view?usp=drivesdk

Note: if the link above is inaccessible, comment on this post and I'll provide you with a new link

Update 1: well this hasn't received positive reception at all. 1/4 of the votes are downvotes.

I took the time to curate the tracks, find the best quality mp3s I could get, edit all the metadata, create a custom album cover, put them into an order that flows while telling a story of death and self reflection with great collabs and great beats from producers like madlib, RJD2, and blockhead

This sub has become pictures of pigeons and mushrooms, which I am tired of seeing, fuck that

I'll leave the link for download up until Monday night then I'll inactivate it and delete the post

Peace

I know we all have playlists from various streaming sites, but just wondering if you've put together a cohesive collection that plays like an album?

I did just that.. I call it the Curated Gems series with the first entry being called Death Perception (14 tracks, ~58 min runtime)

The tracks are mostly in chronological order by release date, from 2003 - 2015, with Welcome Home Warrior capping it off. It consists of mostly features with some B-sides mixed in

I am happy with how it turned out and will likely make more - I'll share them if you show interest. I'm sure the no fun police amongst us will have a problem with it but that's fine. I enjoyed crafting it

All file metadata updated and verification of no malicious tags

Link to download a zip of the mp3s from Google Drive:

Spotted in the wild

Saw this while stopped at a light in Seattle. Ignore the dog in the mirror. First time seeing something of his in the wild

Does anyone know if RSE has a warranty or anything?

I got my first turntable and records about a month ago. I have a brand new AT-LP60X, and ordered fresh records from RSE. The records got here, and my copy of Spirit World Field Guide skips. I feel like that shouldn't be happening, as everything in my setup is brand-new. Might it be possible that I can get a refund or a new copy from RSE? Thought it would be worth it to ask around here first before I go anywhere else with this.

Thanks.
