Jeremiah Jae ‘Bad Jokes’ (.ZIP) Chicago-bred Flying Lotus protégé Jeremiah Jae dropped one of my favorite albums of 2012 in ‘Raw Money Raps’ on FlyLo’s Brainfeeder Records. He’s back, alongside his Black Jungle Squad partners, with ‘Bad Jokes’, a free mixtape/EP to celebrate his signing to Warp Records. Jae drops[…]
Irrational Games and series creator Ken Levine have finally dropped some of that long-awaited, much-ballyhooed ‘BioShock: Infinite’ DLC. And instead of hitting the PS3, downloading the ‘Clash in the Clouds’ files to my console, and getting my first person shooter on, I’m here, posting the trailer for you to see.[…]
So RJD2 just dropped “Her Majesty’s Socialist Request”, the first single from his forthcoming 5th LP ‘More Is Than Isn’t’, via Soundcloud. It’s a banger. Very much in his signature style. But I feel like it subtly nods to the current Trap trend, while still keeping shit Prog-Rock-y. You can[…]
I don’t know what’s more impressive about veteran Brownsville emcee KA’s “Off the Record”; that he was able to reference so many groups and records on the track, or the record collection he flips through in the tune’s accompanying video? “Off the Record” is from dude’s recently released third solo[…]
Got a package in the mail today from TeeFury containing my most recent score; a double purchase of Lovecraftian splendor in the form of their “Obey Cthulhu” and “Forbidden Books are Fun!” tees! These are far from my only purchases from the purveyor of original pop-culture tees which are not[…]
Speaking of the dearly departed Ms. Winehouse, the wavering lilt of Hiatus Kaiyote vocalist Nai Palm definitely shares a few thing in common with her druggy croon. When Giant Step sent me the re-release of the Melbourne, Australia-bred crew’s album ‘Tawk Tomahawk’ I was blown away by the LP exclusive[…]
Shenandoah Valley-bred, New Orleans-based chanteuse Carsie Blanton gets her tough talkin’ diva on in a big way in the new video for her tune “Backbone”. Musically the soulful ditty with jazzy overtones strikes a note akin to early Amy Winehouse, Feist, the likes of CocoRosie, or maybe even Regina Spektor.[…]
Last Monday I walked into my local T-Mobile store and told the girl behind the counter to talk me into upgrading my phone. I’d spent the last few months reviewing phones and at this point was still torn between the Samsung Galaxy 4, the Samsung Note 2, the HTC One,[…]
I’ve had “Addiction”, a tru-skool Electro jam from Manchester-based producer Krystal Klear and vocalist Jenna G, in my Disco folder since March. For some reason they only just got around to making a video for it, and it appears to have been shot in Niko’s neighborhood from ‘Grand Theft Auto:[…]
My first reaction to this “Mobb Dizzle” video from 16-year-old upstart Bishop Nehru wasn’t “oh, shit more young dude throwback Rap” but “is this motherfucker wearing a pair of Shawn Kemp Reebok Kamikaze’s?” Seriously, I had a pair of those shits back in the day and this video has done[…]
I get a distinct “James Bond opening credits theme” vibe from Downtempo duo Goldfrapp’s new super-symphonic, super-cinematic single “Drew”. The black & white video, replete with erotic imagery and still-frame style images (which was directed by Lisa Gunning) on the other hand is giving off an eu-de-Anton Corbijn. “Drew” is[…]
Dog Days 2013 Deep House Mix by El Keter Ben Tzadik on Mixcloud It’s been so hot during these dog days of Summer that I threw y’all a bone by way of some bonus tracks on this extra-long-playing Dog Days Deep House Mix! The majority of the tracks this[…]
