Cicatriz E.S.P- The Mars Volta
Our Lips Are Sealed by Fun Boy Three.  I LOVE their original of it.  Lovely and SO true, the lyrics.
Silent Shout- The Knife
Lickupon by Viktor Vaughn
That Kind of Man- The Heavy
Just Cant Hate Enough-Sheer Terror
I Wayne - More Herbs

light as a feather-chick corea and return to forever(became obsessed after hearing the song "captain marvel" for the first time about a month ago, cd finally came via amzon..)

hymn of the seventh galaxy-return to forever(actually it's still shrinkrapped but I copped it at the same time as the above joint cuz it's supposed to be good too..we'll see)

skying-the horrors

En'A*FREE*Ka-solo album from Sa-Ra member Shafiq(if u don't dig Sa-Ra this cd prolly won't change your mind but if you're into the spaced out neo-fusion undergound cali funk soul shit like Georgia Ann Muldrow, madlib, etc. I say check it out.

Hollie Cook-self titled(copped this on a whim at this cool ass record store i get most of my stuff from. The cover looked interesting so i previewed it in the store. It was some blissed out roots and rock steady reggae beats with some patois-less singing on top. I can always go for a good reggae groove so I thought "what the hell' I'll get it". I go home and google shorty(a sista btw). Turns out she's like punk rock royalty. Her dad is Sex Pistol Paul Cook and she sang back up on some of the later stuff by the Slits. Ari Up even dubbed her "second singer". What's up with the AP feature on her already(lol)...



 

 

 

 

=  DaM-funk --- Toeachizown, cd 2 --- listening to this instrumental of heavy, electronic funk while riding down the street downtown at night is the definition of summer pleasure.

Dude, that Holly Cook stuff is tight!  Thanks for putting it out there.  Yo, how do you embed the YT posts up like you did here on the page? I tried it once but I forgot, thanks. 

 

And yeah I've been checking Shafiq Husain's stuff also (thanks YT) so if you're up that you may know Thundercat the bassist.  As a Sa-Ra fan I'm on it and as Brooke D'leau said, "Taz Arnold, the people want the album".  I've made a cd of tracks with Thundercat, Sahfiq &  Exile.  More tripped out Hip Hop instrumentals along the MadLib vibe.

 

Just got up on this singer Nikko Gray who's music is really sweet along the lines of Res, Esthero and J*DaVeY (still rocking the Boudoir Synema & Evil Christian Cop and some lost racks) .  Also checking out Little Dragon and The Black Keys. Those two are dope outside of the hipster hype, very impressive. 

 

I have nothing to complain about, almost too much stuff to listen to.  And yes I'm getting Watch The Throne today.

@ Daoud, glad I was able to share, word of mouth and good old fashion just discovering folks and taking a chance on somethin you never heard about b4 still works in the days of youtube and blogs and what not, as far as posting vids, all I did was click html on top of the reply box and I copyied and pasted the embed code from youtube. I'm sure there's prolly an easier way but that's what worked at the time....... if you get a chance to share that mix with Thundercat and company online I'd like to hear it...Niko grey sounds cool... I copped The Throne earlier today(i'm old school man, Itunes ain't even downloaded on my computer son!)  The joint is aiight. I dig the packaging design. Nothing on there completely sux and yes, cats brag about money, models and clothes but they say alot of other thought provoking stuff in between the lines if you take the time to listen. There's an Apache break on one song that reminds you of some nativetongue-ish ish, a RzA track and the bonus cuts got tracks by No ID and Pete Rock. No other mainstream artist is even going anywhere in the direction of stuff like that so I'll give them credit for that. I'm waiting for the cover art and further inspection of lyrical themes to fuel more Illuminati suspiscions...
