Kinda seems weird to be still talking about April, but the dudes over at the twitter just kept going and going all month, such that a summary of all the latest tunes and etc. requires careful analysis in multiple parts. So! Here it is.

April 16 New HEALTH tracks from their highly anticipated (by me) DISCO2 require use of my favourite emoticon, the crazy open mouthed smile guy :D... :D :D :D D :D :D D :D :D D :D :D D :D :D - RT @pitchforkmedia : New HEALTH track: "USA Boys", recorded in Trent Reznor's home studio http://bit.ly/dyLrih .

April 18 More HEALTH was to be had with a link posted to a bunch of old remixes in preparation for the aforementioned DISCO2 - old ass HEALTH remix collection to tide you over till DISCO2 drops June-wise http://bit.ly/2Kgb57

April 17 This was posted after the editorial team decided that any artist with a name like "GRIMES" would be certified bad-ass. Turns out someone should have read the rest of the description, where it goes on to compare GRIMES to adult-contemporary (love the name of that genre) singer-songwriter Jewel... Let that be a lesson to yall, kids: READ ENTIRE SENTENCES - careful RT @gorillavsbear: free LP from montreal's Claire Boucher, aka GRIMES. ghostly nite jewel-meets-paavoharju http://bit.ly/dxKdx8

April 17 How could I forget about 1-Speed Bike and his awesomely named bandcamp page 1-SpeedFukinBike. The album Pashto Translator Needed, which you can get there for free is... interesting / strange / bullocks / genius / terrible rambling garbage, but is worth a listen - 1-Speed Bike - Pashto Translator Needed. Weird shit album download http://1-speedfukinbike.bandcamp.com/

April 18 With its usual awesome abilities to FORESEE THE FUTURE, @sardless instructed followers to watch the Nocando / Busdriver duet, "Two Track Mind", which is the best part of Nocandos mostly excellent Jimmy The Lock, which we should review here at some point, but, well, you know... - @MCNocando - Two Track Mind ft. @busdriverr . The finest moment on Jimmy the Lock. http://youtu.be/12Yr6v7qkeg .

The next day, April 19, AlphaPup records, obviously seeing the awesome impact of the @sardless hype machine, essentially copied our tweet to their own followers. IF ONLY they had retweeted us, think of the riches (@alphapup boasts a small matter of 2,347 followers...) - HAY! sardless told everyone to watch this on Sunday! RT @ALPHAPUP: Watch: @MCNOCANDO "Two Track Mind" ft. Busdriver: http://ow.ly/1zvfb .

April 20 Another one of the f__king ten million mixtapes that makes its way through the @sardless digestive system to be passed on to the eager followers. I think this one was a bit crap, but oh well have a listen and see for yourself - DOWNLOAD: It's A Rap Presents: On Deck [mixtape] - http://www.itsaraprogo.com/?p=859

April 20 This Major Lazer video is... the fuckedist thing ever made. It is difficult to describe what is going on for most of this video and it is disturbing to say the least. Features semi-nude buxom goblin-faced lasses riding tiny bikes as well as Diplo dancing in a sweet shiny suit... Take a look for yourself! - Major Lazer "Keep it Going Louder" this is unpleasant http://vimeo.com/7652564

April 22 Inspired by the outstandingly excellent free Free Gucci mixtape (who is indeed now free, thanks to said mixtape /conjecture), Bird Peterson made Drankenstein, a mix of southern hip hop x Bird's favourite trance samples. While that combination on the face of it sounds disgusting, Drankenstein turns out 'effing good, managing to dispense with the cheesy edge usually found in both southern hip hop and trance - removing the generic beats present in the former while slowing down the trance to match the lyrics which results in an eerie sort of synthetic pipe-organ sound instead of the cheap unpleasantness usually associated with trance. The finest moment occurs when Bird takes this track that is mostly ENTIRELY about a guy wearing shades (so people can't tell what he is looking at), removes the ludicrous TV cop drama beats and replaces them with a chewed up sample of some trance to produce something that somehow ends up sounding more interesting than its constituent parts. The overall result means Drankenstein has a uniquesound, and is equal parts clever, listenable and BAD ASS - Potentially interesting: 15 tracks of southern hip hop remixes [courtesy of Mad Decent] http://maddecent.com/blog/drankenstein

April 23 First leak off of the highly anticipated (by me) and possibly not-really-real-or-even-going-to-happen Busdriver mixtape Computer Cooties, which was alluded to last month (see also here). Can you call a track released by the artist himself a leak? One for the philosophers perhaps..? Possibly! Regardless, "Man Baby" features production by the one and only Flying Lotus(!) and is an awfully awfully odd piece. Colour me interested - O... it is RT @Busdriverr 'MAN BABY/COMPUTER FACE/PURE BEING' off of 'COMPUTER COOTIES'. http://bit.ly/brXI4R

April 23 Diplo went to Cuba. Most people don't and can't do that. Read his highly lucid account courtesy of this post. Also, fuck that guy for living awesome, almost makes me wish i stayed in school - yes this is a really interesting read RT: @thedailyswarm: Diplo Goes to Cuba... http://bit.ly/aPixJs

26 April James Pants gives us new material in the latest Stones Throw podcast 59: James Pants - new originals & remixes. You have no reason not to have and have listened to this. It features bits and pieces from here and there, mixing up some other artists material such as some old Three 6 Mafia that almost everyone has had a go at by now, as well as stuff from his last album Seven Seals (see sardless review here), and just goes to show further how interesting this dudes shit is and why he bugs me so much all of the time with his lacklustre albums - RT @stonesthrow : Stones Throw Podcast 59: New Pants. All new work by James http://is.gd/bHkzk @STjamespants (for some reason his account doesn't exist any more. Hope Pants is OK...)

April 28 From the dudes that brought you Shut Up, Dude, comes a.. review of their mates mixtape, Fear of a Clear Channel Planet (BBU) which you can also have, although due to my poor linking / twitters spaz linking regime you might have had remove rogue closing parenthesis for it to work. These challenges aside, FOCCP is good. Particularly track 2, "BB Who?", although they do do some rhyming over Aqua's "Barbie Girl" in "Black n' Plastic" which does neither parties any favours. - RT @dasracist : We reviewed our homies @itsBBU new mixtape at XXL http://goo.gl/sqgZ (get the mixtape at http://foccp.com/ )

So this is just a small small sample off all of the fun had daily / weekly / monthly / yearly over at the bird. Other highlights included one of twitters finest twitterers and scholar, @RAEKWONICEWATER, getting a new MACBOOK PRO and requiring assistance to clear his "cookies" (his quotes, not mine) to view his Myspace (fuck everything about that was funny). Then there was @RealTalibKweli and his trip to Australia, where he saw drunk dudes being ejected from Qantas planes, then he got his laptop stolen during his time in Melbourne, then he got it back again, then he was still being pissy about it after it got returned (understandably), while all the while having his mates such as Questlove of The Roots providing incisive commentary. Then there was exclusive pictures of Gregg "Girl Talk" Gillis backstage rider that are both shocking and mind boggling, and bunch of other stuff that was cool. See you in June!

• Infinito 2017 - "Try again" (mp3 stream), produced by Blakk The 9th Mann from the upcoming album Outer Body Experience 9.0: Thinking the Unthinkable
• Various - Stilltown Vol. III (massive mp3 album).
• Kool Keith album covers, a critique on three.

April sure was a long month, in fact it was the longest April on record since 1962. April was long enough to prevent me from accurately recalling anything that happened musically as it all seems so long ago in the past. Records indicate me listening to (any enjoying) Infinito 2017 - We are Dark, Inspectah Deck - Manifesto and some old Public Enemy records. This month (May) in memory of the late Guru I intend to listen to every Gang Starr record.

Macron1 Presents: April, Foolz / Historys Greatest (sardless) Twits Part I

It is May - Happy May! That can mean only one thing. April was last month. And with months past, as is tradition around here, we trawl through the several billion gigawangs of hot musical information that passed through our @sardless twitter, distilling the deluge to its crystal essence, with the cream rising to the top, as it were.

April 1 The bros at @NoumenonBros are getting pumped to release their highly anticipated (by me) "Party Mathematics" EP (due 4/5), in the meantime have been drip feeding tracks off of it, hence this post. My dudes got new RT @NoumenonBros NEW SONG POSTED: ALGORESRHYTHM!!! CHECK IT OUT NOW http://bit.ly/9HReHh

April 1 There was that whole "Shut Up, Dude" mixtape from Das Racist thing that happened in April that everyone got all jazzed about (including sardless - review here). This is the point when we twitted about it and pointed to a link containing the whole thing for your consumptions! More awesome use of dude: Das Racist - Shut Up, Dude Mixtape: http://usershare.net/fawr9zq5fi1o [via @stereogum]

April 4 In which The Roots gave us a collection of Dilla instrumentals they just happened to have done, FOR FREE (obv. gettin paid way too much on Late Night w. Fallon - j/k). Interesting concept done interestingly: RT @gopisangha: a real good listen - RT @eastofla: New blog post: The Roots | Dilla Joints http://eastofla.com/?p=1375. Later in April (April 16), some clever dick mixed this into the Dice Raw | Dice Dilla Pregunta Mixtape, which is also a good listen: more mixtape lovin RT @questlove: RT @BiggerThanBlogN: Dice Raw | Dice Dilla Pregunta Mixtape: http://ow.ly/1zKqs

April 6 Mos Def mashup mixtape by the same dude who brought us the Jaydiohead Radiohead Jay-Z thing and Doublecheck Your Head Beastie Boys infinite-regress mixup of themselves with themselves. Oh, and turns out it this Mos Dub remix WAS a good idea: It is an idea. A good one? U DECIDE RT @largeheartedboy: Mos Dub remixes Mos Def with classic dub reggae tracks http://bit.ly/dy9rOf

April 7 Weirdly named Ja Prawn gave us their album for a listen, and you can have it too. What a time to be alive (it is weird shit though): electronic dance grooves w. synthy sludge? RT @sickoftheradio FRESHLY RELEASED ALBUM DOWNLOAD: Ja Prawns "Everybody" EP http://bit.ly/d3Pgf9

April 8 12 minute ++ Chemical Brothers brand new track. Did yall do this? Ooooooo RT @stereogum Start your day with a 12+ minute Chemical Bros track: "Escape Velocity" http://bit.ly/d8d6vg

April 11 This month we got not one but TWO disgusting music vidoes from ol' sardless favs HEALTH and M.I.A. The first of those: my dudes HEALTH scaring girlies RT @_HEALTH_: WE ARE WATER :: MUSIC VIDEO :: http://bit.ly/c05ZqD :: DIRECTED BY @ericwareheim. The second came on April 26, and features old lady boob+old man wang+exploding torso, all of which seems gratuitous and is backed by the very unexpectedly punk track from M.I.A.: video for that new MIA tune "Born Free" DRAMATIC RT @_M_I_A_ : OK NOT UMG FAULT! http://www.miauk.com/

April 12 Possibly of interest to the readership: All the hits from 80s movie dude John Hughes (The Breakfast Club, National Lampoon's European Vacation, Ferris Bueller etc etc etc etc every comedy to come out of that decade). OK! There is some 80s movie boolshitz in here get it quick. RT @thedailyswarm Download: 'The Music of John Hughes'... http://bit.ly/9DY7JK

April 12 Never been a fan of the xx or Notorious B.I.G., but Dead Wrong Intro (track 1 referred to in the post) makes both seem A-OKAY. Notorious B.I.G. has some ludicrous lyrics that manage to be both almost comically violent and homoerotic at the same time, while the xx seem to just sound creepy, like something bad happened and you need to feel guilty about it. Together: mildly humorous and eerie@sardless - on it, late: http://soundcloud.com/wait-what/sets/the-notorious-xx be sure to check out at least track 1

April 13 Swedish dudes Korallreven post 27 minute mix featuring Madlib and some others, is good. The duo says the mix is made up of songs that "make us feel the pure ecstasy of what in popular terms use to be called 'life'". Goddamn Swedes huh: mix by Sweden's Korallreven feat. Madlib, Pure Ecstasy, Toro y Moi, Teengirl Fantasy, Joy Orbison, http://bit.ly/ausulu [via GvsB]

April 13 This guy has shit loads of EPs and is CONSTANTLY promoting them on the twitter. The tags on the bandcamp page give an accurate summation of what is to be expected on these collections: "hip hop (real shit), Oxnard". Well mostly, not entirely sure what an Oxnard is (think its a place in California)... but if you hit that tag, you will be lead to yet another shit-ton of stuff, including The Sampler Pt. 2: Raw, Ruff & Rugged by Planet Ox, which is ____, so have fun with that: Check It - The Diverse Dialects EP - http://epsilonproject1.bandcamp.com/ Download album[s] @ name your price prices c/o @Audacityep

April 16 Multiple postings were made regarding the finding of and having of "Higher Vibrations", by Leonard Dstroy, on account of its awesomeness and in light of its generous free release. Later on in the month (April 30), Leonard informed us he will be releasing another freebie, "The LennySlitz Project", in May. Keep it coming, my dude. Higher Vibrations - Leonard Dstroy. Sounds like - Awesome. Get it 4 $0 @ http://leonarddstroy.bandcamp.com

Given the large quantity of material to be summarised and before this gets too tl;dr in length, we will conclude at the mid-April stage. Be sure to check back later in the month for PART II - The April sardless Continues...
