Diplo is the man. If you had played me this track when I was 12, I would've said something along the lines of, "this shit is chron-bomb!" because "chron-bomb" was the highest level of achievement in my mind at that juncture.Dead Prez - Hip Hop (Diplo Remix)Sorry for the post and run...in my other life, I work at a school and due to the massive snow storm, there's no school and lots of fun to b...

Chala chaiyya, chaiyya...
Jean Yves LemoigneI loved Slumdog Millionaire. I'm not usually a fan of movies like that, where the guy gets the girl and everything works out, but this one was spectacular visually, and the romantic angle wasn't too over the top (I mean who DOESN'T obsess over their crushes from kindergarten?). But what really got me hooked, besides the Bollywood routine at the end of the film, was the score...

Boisenberry Jams...
I'm not as big a fan as my boy Rob, but I really enjoy a lot of A-Trak's work, plus he's the man (world-class DJ, dope producer, Kid Sister's boyfriend, brother of Chromeo's Dave1, head of Fool's Gold Records, Kanye's tour DJ, all around nice guy)...follow the link for his blog, it's phenomenal. Anyways, Busy P just leaked A-Trak's remix of the Sebastian Tellier jam "Kilometer," and in the wor...

When are fires ever friendly?
In addition to being a few days late with this video, I was a little late to the jamboree with Friendly Fires, but now I have seen the light. Upon first listen in the fall, they sounded like a band to pay attention to in the future, but also one that hadn't really put it together yet. Since everybody likes comparisons, the two I noted a few months back were "a not as BIG sounding Bloc Party" ...

HIGH-FIVE INAUGURATION!Funny or Die's Inauguration coverage-Inauguration was great. I’ve never been happier than I was on Tuesday around noontime. I’m working on a longer piece on my experience than this that I may put up here once I catch up on sleep and get over this nagging cold, but being on the Mall for Obama’s inauguration and that speech, far away as my friends and I were (Heavy D,

Wavves
I had a great analogy all planned out to describe the sound of Nathan William's Wavves, but then I read this on Destijl, who will be releasing Nathan's latest album, Wavvves in early February:"thanks to the eager bloggers, you may have already heard wavves. if you have not, we can say that few things are more annoying than reading a string of sound references. so how 'bout this : wavves are exe...
