oh man, this is gonna get out of control. totally deserving of all the hype he's about to get though

[CPK]

Channel Orange is the number one album on itunes as well. Glad for him and all his success. Well deserved.

[iamthehorn]

The Russian judge Quacked him.

Am I crazy or do I hear a little Stevie Wonder in some parts? 'Monks' most of all.

it's already bonus track time, feat. Tyler the Creator

So if Frank plays I'm thinking like a dead Weather spot from 2010 something like a pre pre headliner

[The Original Wolfman Jess]

I am giving this a listen at work today, pretty good so far I like his voice. Also yes Zapp I think there is a pretty strong Stevie Wonder influence.

I know there's a ton of buzz around him, but weren't Dead Weather like 8th or 10th on the bill or something? I think you're overshooting a bit there.

I mean he's playing the 5th biggest stage at Lolla this year.

I would love to see him get a late afternoon tent though or a night one on Tursday.

...now you're undershooting it. He would have played in those spots either in 2011 or this year. By next year, he's going to be absolutely huge.

So Which Stage? I admit it is a good album, and that high a review from pitchfork is going to give him a boost.

[iamthehorn]

Did Juggs just fall for a JBT?

Hell, by next weekend he is going to be absolutely huge.

[Homer J. Fong]

That wasn't a JBT. Step your game up, horn.

And yeah Jess, I'm thinking Which Stage, or tent closer. I mean, dude has blown up in a huge way since 2011 - Nostalgia, Ultra was big, and had one pretty major single with a couple other popular tracks, he's with OFWGKTA and gets a benefit from all their buzz, was featured on Watch The Throne, had a pretty major set/slot at Coachella this year, his coming out launched him into a new level of notoriety, and Channel Orange is getting lauded pretty much across the board. He's being hailed as the next in a line of Stevie, Marvin, Prince, D'Angelo. I expect that Channel Orange will be on most critics' top ten lists at year's end, and you'll see him get majorly recognized come Grammy time in the Spring.

I honestly wouldn't be shocked if he was in the top-ten of the lineup next year. Maybe he can pre-headline for Watch The Throne.

[iamthehorn]

I could definitely see him closing the Which. He's going to be touring with Coldplay and doing all those things people who are going to get super big do, BUT, I really see him doing Glastonbury and other Euro dates in June next year, not Bonnaroo.

Had to go and put that in my head. I'm blaming you for my letdown.

Same here. Juggs gets all the blame when this does not happen.

If, by chance, you’re waiting to buy a physical copy of Frank Ocean’s highly-acclaimed and much-buzzed about Channel Orange when it’s released next week, you will not find it at Target. Why? Well, it might, as Frank Ocean and his people seem to believe, have something to do with that whole falling in love with a dude thing. Target, however, suggests otherwise.


Reports the LA Times:

A Target statement, reported by MTV News, explained that “At Target, we focus on offering our guests a wide assortment of physical CDs, so our selection of new releases is dedicated to physical CDs rather than titles that are released digitally in advance of the street date.”

In addition, the statement refuted (Ocean’s manager’s) allusion in a since-deleted Tweet on Tuesday that the decision had anything to do with the musician’s sexuality.

“The claims made about Target’s decision to not carry the Frank Ocean album are absolutely false,” the statement said. “Target supports inclusivity and diversity in every aspect of our business. Our assortment decisions are based on a number of factors, including guest demand.

I don’t know, you’d think that a national retail chain would want to stock an album that is one of hottest online sellers of the year, right? But hey, what do I know.

He also got placed before this cd came out plus that's a this year fest. Next year if he is at roo he will be billed top 20 if not top 15

Frank Ocean>Jack White>Watch the Throne Saturday night Roo 13

Nice, I was kind of wondering where Tyler was on this album. Didn't like this track too much though, glad they left it out.
