I guess you could say I have been inspired by good old David Hyman. Saw two posts of his this weekend and it made me crave for some good hip hop. When I say good, I mean the old school variety and as a result I have been playing a lot of my older hip hop albums this weekend. I find it amazing how great a lot of them still sound, and it makes me wish more records like them were being made. My to...

They're the whitest black rappers, the blackest white rappers or the most in between race rappers as defined within the far too superficial confines of the vernacular we use to discuss such issues allows -- actually Brother Ali takes that prize, but let's move on. They're ruthless and unstoppable on the mic with a heavy handed sense of humor and flows that are immediately recognizable for their...

I know we covered these guys a few days ago (see here -- I happen to think I did a fine job with that one if I don't say so myself), but since announcing that the album would be produced entirely by Aesop Rock, FELT has sent out the cover art and let people know who the record is going to pay tribute to. It's Rosie Perez. Man, these guys are sweeping B-List actresses like they were last year's...

I worked in the MTV library for about four years and I never came across this. It must have turned up recently, I don't know. Of course it's a rubbish video, more a home movie really*, but they never wanted to make promos from what I can remember. A contractual obligation perhaps? Maurice Deebank looks like Phil King though, which would date it later...any ideas, or are you all too young. Or no...

A while ago I'd had enough of hearing the hushed whispers in which Felt's name was always mentioned and succumbed to an All Music Guide review that rapturously praised 1986's Forever Breathes the Lonely Word as "almost too perfect a pop masterpiece". All the mooning over the record may have had a suggestive effect on me, because I did love it, partly for the oft-mentioned "shimmer" of the guita...

Posessed of the saddest ever of all guitar riffs, this is perhaps the most beautiful song on the Purple Collection (if not the whole of recorded sound). I especially get chills at the part at the end when Lawrence says, "I need you!" and a girl's voice comes in very faintly with a countermelody that lasts throughout the verse. So, so sublime. Just beyond all rational reason. Maurice Deebank is ...
