Tom Waits doesn't often collaborate with others, but word got out that he wanted to work with Tricky. The Bristol producer who pioneered trip hop with Massive Attack in the 90's and who is set to release a new solo album next month, was told by Island Records founder Chris Blackwell that Waits likes his music and would like to meet with him in San Francisco. Tricky told the press:
"I can't imagine what will come out of it, but I know it'd be a brand new type of... MORE

'Cause this is just too hot to be tolerated under the covers. Yup. I've been enjoying the hell out of Tricky's new album (review to come soon) lately yum yum. Among the tracks, one can find a cover of Kylie Minogue's Slow. And it's hot. Layers of sexual vibes falling over you with no mercy or remorse. Best enjoyed loud. Mind the hotness! Original for measure (WARNING! Kylie Minogue and -mostly male- models rolling around on beach towels): Post dedica... MORE

It's been 5 years since his last release, but Tricky is preparing to work his downtempo magic on the music scene again, finally! The British producer was a household name in the 90's: he collaborated on the first 2 Massive Attack albums and created the definitive trip-hop album, Maxinquaye. His new LP, Knowle West Boy was largely self-produced, with additional production and mixing by Switch! It was recorded in L.A. and London and will be released in the UK on July 7. ... MORE

Tricky used to be a kingpin of UK electronica, mastering his chops on the mic with Massive Attack and then releasing his own music, starting with Maxinquaye in '95. Now he's got his own label, Brown Punk, which he formed with Chris Blackwell (of Island Records and Bob Marley fame) and an album of fresh tunes on the way. The new album is called Knowle West Boy, named after the Bristol hood he grew up in, and features production collaboration with Switch (Kala's producer).... MORE

The new Mog chat room has been a great addition to the Mogosphere. I've had some fun convos with other Moggers like GoodMusicOnly, Horse, Muttermieli, Mike, FlowerPower and everyone's favorite Britt. I thought this song title was a good one for this post! Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be too many people in there the last bunch of times I've popped in. Most of my trusteds don't seem to frequent the chat room. I guess most people are too busy to spend much time ther... MORE

I got a nice MOGmail about the shoes that have been my avatar for some time now, so I thought I'd share a little about them. After all, they are my default concert shoes, and always make nice conversation starters. (I know, I'm talking about shoes. I'm officially running out of content.) Back in '99, our family of four (Melissa was pregnant with Josh) was living in Longmont, about 15 miles northeast of Boulder. I was slogging away in roughly the same job I hold now, as... MORE

The other day driving in the car, Nate was playing a mix CD with a song on it that sounded familiar to me. I said it reminded me of a song I used to listen to when I was younger on the City of Industry cassette tape soundtrack (yeah, THAT long ago). WELL....it was the same song and I'm so happy to have found it again. Overcome by Tricky...just made me happy even though it was like..almost creepy. I would play the two song cassette over and over again. I liked songs like t... MORE

Just been updating my blog and I've finally gotten round to reveiwing one of the best British covers ever - Tricky's take on Public Enemy's Black Steel In The Hour Of Chaos. Truly awesome & imho, better than the original.....

I am not one much for a cover song. I get stuck on an original artist's interpretation. Plus, in Alaska it seems some bands only reside to covers in order to make it. However, I have to admit that Tricky's version of Black Steel is an exception. Just wondering if any else out there has had a similar experience where a cover song is done better by another band. Better yet, do you enjoy this version by Tricky?
