It's 3:00AM on Sunday, here's a bunch of tunage I don't feel like blogging individually.
Bjork - "Earth Intruders"
[audio:earth_intruders.mp3]
This was is one of the much anticipated Timbaland productions and like most things with this much hype behind them...it's not as great as we thought it'd be. I really feel like Bjork needs to give ole Mark Bell or Nelle Hooper a call because her latest stuff needs ...

When DJ Shadow released ENDTRODUCING in 1996 it revolutionized the American trip-hop movement and helped firmly place his label Mo' Wax on the map. Just over ten years later, producer/engineer Amon Tobin has done the same with FOLEY ROOM, an album that explores 'found sound' as successfully DJ Shadow has in the past.
The concept of THE FOLEY ROOM is simple. In film, when engineers want to ...

10. Kayne West GRADUATION

What happened to rave? What happened to the Chemical Brothers? They're both alive and well. They sent us a post card called "Electronic Battle Weapon" from their extended vacation. You can find it at their MySpace.
It's cool enough, but would work better in a DJ set than on it does on it's own. Stereogum had this to say about it: "Great track, ...

London or New York. Where will the next fad band come from? As the Fallout Boy would have you believe, this isn't a scene any more, it's an arms race. Which continent will put as many accessory bands into the top of the charts as possible? You know, those bands that everyone says they love because they hear a few singles or see a ...

I'm a bit floored. I haven't heard music this good in a long time. For those of you who thought white-girl soul began and ended with Joss Stone, you were wrong. Adele performs tenderly nuanced vocal performances that evokes emotions like no one has for a long time. The press has been comparing her to Eykah Badu and Jill Scott but I'll go a ...

So yesterday we told you Slayer was performing Jimmy Kimmel. Spank Rock performed on the same stage last week. Spank rock. Slayer.
Someone on Kimmel's staff is a fucking genius.
Anyways, if you aren't already into Spank Rock, you need to be, before they do something that ruins all their credibility like produce a Lily Allen record or show up doing the ACT ...

One of my favorite artists of 2004 was Kenna, who had a much publicized dispute with his label about the lack of promotion of his record NEW SACRED COW. The Ethiopian-born, friend of Chad Hugo (The Neptunes), has returned with a new record entitled MAKE SURE THEY SEE MY FACE THIS TIME. The title refers to the dispute with his former label after he claimed they ...
