--- - |- el guincho at gorilla vs. booze 2008Many were pretty bummed about El Guincho's recent tour cancellation, and rightfully so; the guy hasn't played many shows here in the states, and his one-man tribal baile carnival live show is indeed pretty rad. Next best thing, then: our friend Cristian from Barcelona cd-r label Discos Compulsivos/LUV LUV sent over El Guincho's rare (not to mention,...

--- - |- Here's a new Animal Collective song, performed live on Saturday at the Pitchfork Music Festival. Not my favorite new jam of theirs -- that would be "Brother Sport" -- but "Lion in a Coma" will likely appear on the band's next LP (which, according to Avey Tare, definitely won't be coming this year): EDIT: AC also played a tripped-out psychedelic version of Panda Bear's "Comfy...

--- - |- Finally saw The Wackness this weekend, and while it was only a slightly above average film with a couple of really solid performances -- namely, Olivia Thirlby and Josh Peck -- it was definitely elevated by the classic hip-hop soundtrack, and it ultimately ended up resonating with me because of the basic premise and era (seventeen-year-old kid comes of age in the summer of '94, says "...

--- - |- I received the disarmingly lovely debut LP from Denton's Fight Bite over the weekend, and I haven't been able to turn it off since. I was already fond of their hauntingly sad "Swissex Lover," but as I drove around last night listening to Emerald Eyes with the windows down, I was reminded of the feeling I had the first time I heard Beach House's debut nearly two years ago. Jeff Louis L...

--- - |- I've been waiting impatiently for this for the last month, and now that it's finally here, it doesn't disappoint. Head over to Stones Throw's brand new web store (still in beta, so don't mind the bugs) to cop the digital Sniperlite 12", featuring two lost, unheard Dilla/Ghost/Doom joints from their 2005-6 recording sessions. And since the two songs "are taken from two sequential songs...

--- - |- This should make all of those "santogold = m.i.a." detractors' heads explode. Santi and Maya teamed up with Radioclit (and Gorilla Zoe, and some elephants I think) to record a track called "Get It Up," which eventually made its way on to Top Ranking. You can stream it now here.************************************************elsewhere:On a completely unrelated note, it's been a minute ...

--- - |- Just a friendly reminder that the Hieroglyphics crew performs tomorrow (Friday) night at Dallas' own Granada Theater. Hope you can make it. Souls of Mischief will be in the building, hopefully with some new jams from their highly anticipated upcoming Prince Paul-produced record in tow. I used to watch this video on Rap City every day after school back in the day: mp3:souls of m...

Listen at Mad Decent space, then order Top Ranking: A Diplo Dub here, because based on what I've heard so far, this thing is ridiculous. EDIT: Here's the mp3, courtesy of the Fader:mp3:Santogold x Diplo...

--- - |- Cleveland's Kid Cudi is the latest in the impressive line of dudes releasing free mixtapes these days (e.g., the Cool Kids, Wale, Izza Kizza, PRGz, etc.), and after a few cursory listens, his A Kid Named Cudi might be my favorite of that bunch. It finally dropped last night, and here are a few highlights: Cudi deftly rides one of Dilla's weirdest beats on "Cudi Get," and on "The Praye...
