Er, back to what I was gonna say . . . Lately I've been a bit Reznor-obsessed, because dammit, someone has finally done it - he's completely fucked with the music industry. And it's a guy my age, who in real life is a pasty-faced former band geek just like me. Trent's so cool, and he's ubiquitous. If you look, he's by-god everywhere. And I can put him i... MORE

El-P is one of the most amazing rap producer right now. Oh yes, I'm aware that this isn't rocket science for most people who are into modern rap and that he is a controversial figure for a lot of hip hop head who don't recognize Def Jux (El-P's label) as a true hip hop label. But, there is always a but, how could anyone describe his sound otherwise ? El-P, even if he transforms his music with much electronic elements and doesn't respect the traditionnel structure of any ra... MORE

I've finally taken the time to listen to I'll Sleep When You're Dead. This is a disk that I have found I can't get the full impact from in my car stereo. I needed to actually throw my headphones into the PC and listen to the tracks multiple times. 'Dear Sirs' is just crazy, the imagery that it invokes is amazing. Dig El-P and Cage going back and forth on 'Habeas Corpses,' they kill it! This is not that disposable hip-hop with built-in dances and/or big name producers... MORE

Cassettes Wont Listen from Nobody's Moving fame has remixed a track for El-P featuring Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails titled "Flyentology". This is off El-P's new album "I'll sleep when you're dead", which is being released tomorrow (or today if you're on the east coast).

You have those moments where reality seems to be fading and things seem to be colliding for no reasons. Moments of introspection lead to connections lead you back to randomness. Then you pick up a book and all of a sudden, you realize that maybe your thoughts have been thought before. Or you listen to a song and you get the same connection. It is beyond the pedal pushed and makes you push pedals till petal pushing because bikes in the city at least let you know you are... MORE

I just heard El-P's new album, "I'll Sleep When You're Dead" and can I just say, GODDAMMIT!!! Did have to take three months to get the best hip-hop album of the year? El-P has cultivated a reputation for diggin his heels in on left field and making a point of never ever leaving that little hip-hop niche of superintelligent verbose backpacking rap that he's cut out for himself and the Def Jux crew. In a way it must be nice to be free to do whatever the hell you want becau... MORE

El-P For all those that think the artform of hip hop is dead, here's proof that it is alive and well. El-P has some how taken the apocalpse is near production techniques of Public Enemy's Bomb Squad and Radiohead's experimention, threw it in a pot, pissed in it, stirred it up and poured out some beautifully ugly music. The entire album is a hip hop 'Back to the Future' with beats rooted in that good old New York boom bap, mixed with beats that make you want to smack you... MORE

Hello, my fellow moggers. It seems like I've run out of music-writing steam. I am still listening to a considerable amount of stuff, but I'm in one of those writing ruts. I don't know what to say or how to say it. And often I can't hold my patience for long enough to write about one thing, as I want to get onto the next.Oh well, for my sake I should be writing about music again soon. Until then, I recommend this new El-P track which, as the song title makes evident, is som... MORE

God Damn. I just wrote the biggest post about how amazing El-P's relativley new CD "I'll Sleep When You're Dead" is, but it got deleted because I'm an idiot. But what I will let you know is that it is one of the most original, energetic Hip Hop albums out in the last few years, and his live show is unbelievable. I guess in a few words that was the summary of my post. But now you must check them out for yourself to understand what I really meant to say. Maybe it's for t... MORE

I LOVE CASSETTES WON'T LISTEN. I posted a song a few weeks ago called To Have A Crush. This was my introduction to Cassettes Won't Listen. Then I heard his remix of Midlake's Young Bride.....and now this. A remix of EL'P's Flyentology. Fans of NIN will also love this since Trent is playing a big part here. I haven't heard the original but this remix is really really really good!!!!! One thing is for sure........I am not ending your party with this one.

I haven't seen anyone post this yet, if it has been, i apologize for the repeat. OOOOPS!!!! WRONG ALBUM COVER!! so sorry! i am having sooooo much trouble with mog today!
