Graham Bond - The Magician

Monday Magick: Graham Bond – The Magician (Video)

July 28, 2014July 28, 2016 El KeterEsoterica

This week’s Monday Magick entry comes from an artist who made no secret of his fascination with the occult, Graham Bond. An early proponent of UK Jazz, R&B, Soul, and psychedelia, Bond was known for pioneering the use of the Hammond organ and Mellotron, introducing the world to talents like[…]

Busdriver – Colonize the Moon (Video)

July 28, 2014July 28, 2016 El KeterMusic

Rap weirdo Busdriver has been repping the underground Los Angeles avant-garde since the days of the storied Good Life Cafe. He seems to have really hit his stride over the last few years though as the Hellfyre Club crew (comprised of Nocando, Open Mike Eagle, milo, KAIL, and others) has[…]

Kasabian – bumblebeee (Video)

July 28, 2014July 28, 2016 El KeterMusic

We’ve been big supporters of UK rockers Kasabian here at Imageyenation since their “Clubfoot” single. “Vlad the Impaler” was another favorite for sure. Their most recent single “Eez-eh” was a little too “Indie-Dance” for my tastes. But they’re back to dropping the block rocking beats with their new one “bumblebeee”.[…]

The Drums – Magic Mountain (Video)

July 28, 2014July 28, 2016 El KeterMusic

I was looking for the video for “Magic Mountain”, the eerily etheric new single from Brooklyn based indie duo The Drums when I was preparing last week’s Monday Magick entry. At that time only the audio was available online though, so they didn’t get the nod. Within a few days[…]

Puma Suede Sneakers

Puma Suede Sneakers

July 21, 2014July 28, 2016 El KeterConsumerism

I recently took advantage of a sale happening on the Puma website to load up on several models of their classic Suede Sneaker. When the giant box with the Puma logo on it arrived at my door it contained the straight up Puma Suede in “high risk red” and “white”,[…]

Screamin' Jay Hawkins - I Put a Spell on You

Monday Magick: Screamin’ Jay Hawkins – I Put a Spell on You (Video)

July 21, 2014July 28, 2016 El KeterEsoterica

This week’s Monday Magick entry comes from the grandaddy of mixing black magic with music, Screamin’ Jay Hawkins. The 1956 single “I Put a Spell on You” put the Ohio-born Bluesman on the map, while his over the top performing style, complete with macabre props, set the stage for what[…]

Rich Nichols

Thank you, Rich… (In Memoriam)

July 18, 2014July 28, 2016 El KeterUncategorized

Yesterday I received the sad news that Rich Nichols, longtime manager of The Roots, impresario of the Okayplayer media empire, and mentor/friend to a whole Noah’s Ark of Hip-Hop, Soul, and Alternative acts, had passed away. As you may know, I was a part of the Okayplayer family for a[…]

Jeremiah Jae – The Heat (Video)

July 14, 2014July 28, 2016 El KeterMusic

Just in time for it to be hotasfuck out, Jeremiah Jae dropped this clip for “The Heat”. “The Heat” is the standout track from the Chitown emcee/producer’s ‘Good Times’ mixtape. Jeremiah Jae

Monday Magick: Dwight Twilley Band – Looking for the Magic (Video)

July 14, 2014July 28, 2016 El KeterEsoterica

Welcome to Monday Magick, a new feature here at Imageyenation. I plan to post a “popular” song that makes some allusion, whether straightforward or metaphoric, to magick, the supernatural, or occult, every Monday. This week’s entry is 1977’s “Looking for the Magic” from Tom Petty’s homeboys the Dwight Twilley Band.[…]

July 13, 2014July 28, 2016 El KeterMusic

Los Angeles based rapper The Koreatown Oddity is another emcee whose identity, that of former comedian and sometimes actor Dominique Purdy, is obscured by a mask. And while his appearance may be a little on the wild side, his music, in this case “Title Sequence”, the opening track from his[…]

NehruvianDOOM – Darkness (HBU) (Video)

July 13, 2014July 28, 2016 El KeterMusic

17 year old New York emcee Bishop Nehru gives us the first taste of his and MF DOOM’s upcoming NehruvianDOOM project via the new video for “Darkness (HBU)”. The track shines due in large part to the funky bassline, majestic horn loop, slick vocal samples, and snappy drum programming flipped[…]

Armand Hammer – The Rent is Too Damn High (Video)

July 3, 2014July 28, 2016 El KeterMusic

Identity-free emcee Billy Woods is easily one of the best rappers in the game right now. ‘Race Music’, his collaboration with Elucid as Armand Hammer continued the tradition of outstanding music released by he and his Backwoodz Studioz. “The Rent is Too Damn High”, where Woods and Elucid elucidate the[…]
