Been waiting on this since THE DAY the ep dropped.
Can't come soon enough.

Come back to OKS! We need you in the Niners and A's threads.

Won't see me posted up in here every day like that old days but I'm going to try and come in a few times a month. This thread reminded me of how much music info I got from this place.

So glad the three songs from their original EP are on this album, cuz those are so my favorite mayer songs. Play "Do It" at a party and it's an instant smash.

Sooooo waiting on this album and KING

If not, you need to change that!

really hoping they can get something to pop from the new project cuz the music's so good

Its gonna be so jheri curly in the right way. And yeah..it would be cool if any of the songs accidentally became a hit. I'm still all up on Get You Home, but Do It or something else from the album is fine by me too.

The Tuxedo soundcloud page recently posted one of Mayer's old mixes of like skating rink tunes. Man it jams.

>mixes of like skating rink tunes. Man it jams.

thanks for the heads up...them shits BANG

And it's easily the dumbest idea I've ever heard of.

and its a shame, because i will pay mayer for anything i can buy digitally
but vinyl only?
ima steal it as soon as someone rips it
sorry.

you can preorder through itunes.

because i remember reading about the itunes preorder somewhere
but when you go to the ST site its only got that vinyl button up top

i mean, it will leak before that
but its still fun when one of your favorite artists drops on your b.day.

like he did for Jaded Inc
ive seen mayer maybe half a dozen times now, and the jaded show was probly the dopest

agreed. Jaded Inc live was far better than I anticipated. It was live AF.

they're doing several Tuxedo DJ sets
but im not holding my breath that they're going to do an actual performance
hope im wrong, but thats my gut feeling based on how theyve been promoting the DJ sets as "tuxedo shows" basically

"just ain't gonna work out" in my opinion.

It was really strong too, even in live settings last year on tour.

I can't remember if I pre-ordered this already or not. Looked through my email and cant find anything indicating I bought it, but I could've deleted the email.

Also looks like he announced some European tour dates: http://www.okayplayer.com/news/tuxedo-number-one-mp3.html

But it might be one that grows on me since it's a take on Ain't No Fun.
And I love Ain't No Fun... but the lyrics are abhorrent. You can't sing that shit around the kinds of women I be around. So something that jacks the melody with different lyrics might be kinda cool.

b/c I too LOVE that song. I need to replay it.

and we got more new stuff instead, but still glad to see its dropping soon.

too bad i won't be able to catch them live....

Super early leaks don't happen much these days. Someone fucked up royally.

I'm buying both tho.

Didn't see a post about it

It has more of a hip-hop sound to it, but doesn't give in to it. If you liked the first record there's no reason to skip on this one.

anyone check it?

>anyone check it?

*raises hand*

It isn't shocking. There aren't crazy turns or twists. It is about as I expected. This is good of course. Mayer does no wrong to me, but I don't know where I could go to out and hear any of this. Maybe Uptown Funk gave this thing some kind of 'lane' to roll in and be lightweight successful. Here's hoping. Add these to the catalog.

Jimaveli

Can you inbox me your sites/sources? It didn't come up on mine. I found it, but clearly there's something I need to be paying attention to that I'm not.

This, purity ring, toro y moi, father john misty

Pretty much all in the same week, wow

of these cats stand up to the studio musicians from the 70s and 80s that these guys draw inspiration from? I am asking the people that know guitar and keyboard work from back in the day.

Are they getting points for practing a form that has gone out of favor or can they hang with the folks from back in the day?

Or even Jordan vs Jason Richardson or something.

They have a great amount of talent, and the album cuts show a good B, B+ level musicianship to me. Since they didn't create the sound they use, they surely aren't going to get credit as being as innovative as a Loose Ends, Slave, Nile Rodgers, or anyone from the era they're reaching from. But I really can't judge them 100% until I see them live...I don't even know who the musicians are on this project. I wouldn't even be shocked if they used a few who were active in the 80's.

Mayer Hawthorne is absolute trash IMO.


Ol' DJ Haircut face ass CAC.

And it's everything I'd hoped it would be

>And it's everything I'd hoped it would be

thats good to hear.. not listening to any leak till my copy arrives tho

They got my $10 fo sho. That's was a given whether I got to hear it early or not.

I just couldn't wait

That mix is damn near as jamming as the album. I'm having a good time with both. Mayer basically does no wrong to me tho so don't sweat it.

I'm upset we're not talking about this album more. I haven't stopped listening to it since the day of the leak. Every few days I have a new favorite song. Started with "I Got U," then moved to "The Right Time," and now I'm on to "Roll Along." That stretch is too damn dope. I quickly fell into singing along with "Number One" even though I was hesitant about that cut when he first dropped it.

Yeah this is my favorite album of the early part of the year. But man, the rotation right now between this, Lupe, Joey, and D... fire.

i'm going the old school route with this album

that joint has my favorite music.

solid album. the right time probably my 2nd favorite track.
my pops would love this so i'll give it to him

http://www.npr.org/2015/02/22/387517135/first-listen-tuxedo-tuxedo?utm_medium=RSS&utm_campaign=music

I'm in there

I just wished this dropped during the summer.

>I just wished this dropped during the summer.

This negative degree weather just isn't right for listening to this album.

aside from when I'm by myself.
I played it with 3 friends while we were sitting around drinking on a Friday night before we went out.
Played it driving around with my girl.
Played it driving around with my homie.
Played a track on the radio show I co-host (we've also been playing the ep since it came out).

Every single time, people have demonstrated that they cannot resist grooving to this shit. It's so fucking good.

I can imagine the vanilla crowd you run with. Yikes.

that you have such trouble coming to terms with the fact that a whole bunch of people like something that you don't.

But here we are.

you made your point that you don't care for him above.
unless you're 13 years old, i can't figure out why you'd feel the need to come back in here just to throw snark.

.

i sent this and jaded to my pops recently
(i turned him on to mayer around the second album i think)
and somehow, he told me he liked jaded more
i was like huh, what?
I've got a sneaking suspicion he's telling me that just to seem hipper, because jaded is way outside his wheelhouse, esp, compared to Tux.

Tux grooves way better than Jaded Inc.

as i hypothesized above, he might just be going off the strength of the "I Ran" cover (i included it as a bonus track)
but i cant call it.

One, its a good album I can't get into right now cause I'm hurt in post-breakup mode

Two, all the folks raving about this, great, but if y'all the same enwurds critiquing D for "throwback" shit, you better lob that towards Jake and Mayer. This 80s funk and boogie with 2015 gear/tech veneer. It is. Don't critique one cause its 70s and not the other cause its 80s.

By the way as a critique for D and Tuxedo throwback is weak as shit.

Enjoy good / great music

Piece

D and Tux are both very referential to me, but in the best way
now some shit like Mark Ronson's new joint - thats not referential, thats just straight up derivative - big difference
but D and Mayer have both been extremely referential artists throughout their whole careers, not just these latest albums

but i see same heads in the D post, being loud and wrong about it being derivative, in here wetting their panties

Where do you (personally) draw the line between the two?
I haven't listened to Ronson's new project, I'm not really interested in it but since you called him out by name -- was Back to Black referential or derivative to you?

What about MH's earlier work like Strange Arrangement?

I know it when I see it
But no, I don't consider BTB or SA to be derivative
Basically those albums are clearly influenced by a certain sound, but the artist is still shining thru, being true to themselves, bringing a fresh flavor to it - still sounds original
The ronson/Bruno shit just sounds like a straight rip off tho IMO. There's nothing original in it.

I was contributing some of the derivative-ness of Bruno/Ronson to the fact that I'm not a fan. So I don't listen to him, or hear "his sound."

But your explanation makes complete sense and I agree with you dropped.

due to the average age of the boards

http://dewerelddraaitdoor.vara.nl/media/335106

and back up singers.

I still buy CD's, it would be nice for the collection you know.

http://www.amazon.com/Tuxedo/dp/B00QSED8JM/ref=sr_1_1_twi_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1425049139&sr=1-1&keywords=tuxedo+music

I guess this is the route I'm going to have to go as well.

bump

nm

But my only link is that Dam Funk DJd my boys wedding, but he said he's super hard to get in contact with. I DM'd him n got no response. But I don't have many connects within this circle

And damn, that would be so fucking ill to have Dam Funk dj your wedding.

>And damn, that would be so fucking ill to have Dam Funk dj
>your wedding.

on jams.

goddam this album is good.

The first track, lost lover, do anyone else hear
http://youtu.be/Z1It4rNbOCM

doo wa ditty in the melody?

I'll probably go into more detail, track by track in a later post.

but lolololololol @ "Number One". dogg. lol. when I figured out what they did I actually laughed.

>but lolololololol @ "Number One". dogg. lol. when I figured
>out what they did I actually laughed.
>

What am I missing?

I like that every song on here stays in boogie/I love you girl mode throughout the entire record.

There's no song that throws the tempo off or a sad song on the end of it...you can play it straight thru and never get your mood changed.

This doesn't happen often enough. Not all albums need variety.

I'm gonna grab this off the strength of all the love it's getting, but I have a question for you guys...


I was a big fan of A Strange Arrangement. I was on that as soon as it came out and played the hell out of it. Then when he dropped How Do You Do, I was extremely underwhelmed. A few decent songs, but mostly I felt like it just had no punch to it.

So I never grabbed his 3rd album, Where Does This Door Go? Did anybody here who was similarly let down by HDYD really enjoy WDTDG? Should I check it out?

it sounds nothing like throwback

here's a Youtube playlist

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrZjQ2mpa4Yc2bjQnBgnG1DVuNOaRxjjA

Corsican Rose is my favorite https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXBovF3L6xk

It really doesn't sound like the first two at all tho.

I'll speak in more depth on it later..

but yeah...this was needed.

Will definitely playing this in the summer.

The bass line on "Roll Along" is my fav shit right now.

Definitely feeling this.
Copped the CD at Zia.

Grooves on grooves.

This is straight crack.

Early contender for Album of the Year, for sure. Top 5 for sure.

I'm lounging around the house on Sunday afternoon and doing some chores and having this on the the background makes me wanna put on a suit and go to the club, like, RIGHT NOW.

I was trying to figure it out. It's great weekend cleaning music.

to low profile projects like this makes me mad as fuck...dude should've blown up after WDTDG?.. that record was pure excellence

Like a sirloin steak.



there's no need for this.

Looks like they just announced some new tour dates: http://tuxedofunk.com/

Judging by this video they just posted, I think these are going to be with a full band: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJmIi8psOXw

Also, not sure if you guys saw this article from a few weeks ago, but they're already working on the sequel: http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop-shop/6509640/mayer-hawthorne-jake-one-tuxedo-new-album-interview

looks to be a few more DJ sets mixed in there, but the NYC show is full Tux.....so fux ya!

also, i work for fucking billboard, i don't know how i missed the TUX2 news. derp.

Album would sound.
