[Audio Stream] Listen to Curren$y's - The Stoned...
Didn’t even know this was out ‘til I saw it in the Rdio new releases section. It’s actually really, really good. The album title fits perfectly for this vibey, woozy but still soulful head music. Think if Pharcyde smoked up with Cypress Hill and you’re getting close. Check it out on Rdio if this soundcloud promo preview player gets take down. [soundcloud player via...

The return of 'real' hip-hop? Joey Bada$$...
With all the swag and hipster rap out now, hip-hop has clearly gone in another direction since its beloved (by old fogies like me) old school and ‘Golden Era’ periods. For all my fellow curmudgeon the friends who bemoan the lack of classic sounding rap nowadays, I’ve often said: “You know there’s probably a 16 year old kid in a basement somewhere who’s...

[New Music] Introducing Hello Phones - Get It...
Get It Together by Hello Phones This came to me via my submission inbox which, truth be told, I don’t check as often as I used to or should so it’s purely by luck that I even stumbled on this. As the official PR blur (below) says, musically NY co-ed duo, Hello Phones are a little all over the map, which from my point of view, is usually the kiss of death. The singer is also not...

[Video] Windall Documentary (Trailer)
When I went to see the Marley doc on Wednesday, they showed this trailer during the previews. Ironically, just a few days before that I had been deriding people who complained about wind turbines because they “spoiled their view” but this trailer made me re-think that comment and how wind power is implemented in general.

[Music Video] The Flaming Lips and Erykah Badu -...
Oh my lawd, this video might just completely overshadow this very odd but very cool cover of the Roberta Flack standard, “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” by oddball, Oklahoma City-based (go Thunder!) alternative rock group, The Flaming Lips and the equally oddball soul singer, Erykah Badu. I know the nude shots are actually of Badu’s sister, Nayrock but, after her last...
