Ed Wong at Sandbox Automatic is a huge reason why Soul Sides exists: back in the day, I need a place to park my websites and he graciously offered me his server and extra bandwidth and from that, Soul Sides was able to become a reality. So I am very, very grateful to Ed for that largesse and I recently sat down with him for a chat about the state of hip-hop retail, the death of vinyl (or perhap...

Soulrocket just made me aware of the fact that Jurassic 5 are no longer with us (as a group... mind ya).Which gave me an ideal idea for a cover post: Their version of Baden Powell's ??Canto de Ossanha??.SO cool of them to cover this tune!The original is here:(Does anybody have the Elis Regina/Toots Thieleman version? Mine is copy-protected :P)

In a similar vein as Rawkiddo's "Where Do You Mog?", I present "Where Do You Rock?".Har har, I kill me. Oh, and I am DIGGING Jurassic 5, Quality Control anyways. I had never really listened to them till about a month ago - how is that? Funkalicious! (ps - I will tag my posts however I like, yo!)

Blair has asked Thursday become Hip-Hop Night on the MOG. Fine. Only the real true shit allowed. No damned poseurs dancing around pools with more gold on than a slave hole. Which means Jurassic 5 will have to be in the house. Stand back.What's Golden, from "Power in Numbers (2004)"Freedom, from "Feedback (2006)", live on the Henry Rollins Show

Some J5 just shuffled up on the playlist, and I remembered that Thursday night is hip-hop night. I have yet to participate, but this song seemed like a fitting opportunity

These guys have originality, even throwing in a little old school contribution from Big Daddy Kane...I know it's old, but I feel it......

Cpunks,Just when I had the universe neatly categorized and tucked into this three ring binder in my office, I thought about a curve ball. Instincts. Huh? Where do they fit in? How can I find the connection between instincts and music...? I quote from all knowing Wikipedia:"Instinct provides a response to external stimuli, which moves an organism to action, unless overridden by intelligence, whi...

In case you're late, "Jurassic 5 broke up":http://mog.com/MrFrost/blog_post/54579 about two months ago. But dry your tears, two projects from ex J5 members have been announced, Pitchfork reports.Lead emcee Chali 2na has an album in the works titled Fish Outta Water. The oft delayed and long awaited album has been "just around the corner" for over a year. A single titled "Dont Stop" from the alb...

Just thought I'd throw in some J5.Is it me or is turntablism dying out?I love the Neptunes, but I think it may be their fault. partially.This song is the reason i love Hip Hop, it's crazy to think it's nearly ten years old.

Hoooollllleeeeeeee crap, J5 has done it again.Like Jurassic 5 had ANYTHING to prove in the first place (long since proofed the equation that hip hop can be stunningly innovative and entertaining without swerving into topics of violence, sexism and pimping) their new album is yet another that will enter into the list of respectable classics. It's hard to believe that this is only the third full...

IF you ever have a chance to see Jurassic 5 in concert do so. 3 Songs into the show I already penciled it into my top 3 shows I been too. These guys never cease to amazing me. They had sharp deleivery that you could hear clearly. A nice set & they also did the songs in entirety, unlike some other rap shows. Chali 2na kept the crowd hype all night as the performed songs from all their records. M...
