Hey Moggers. I've got a poll for you. I want to know what type of music your parents listened to. My parents were big fans of all things pop in the seventies. They liked disco, country, rock and whatever there was on the radio at that time. They didn't seem to be tied down to any one style. They just loved pop music. Some artists include: Sister Sledge, Pink Floyd, Hank Williams Jr, Bee...

I just wanted to point out if you haven't been there you should check out the "Tweenet list":http://www.twee.net/bands/indexcomplete.html of Indiepop and all things Twee. It's a massive resource for me as this is one of my fave groupings of music. I've probably acquired a track or album by at least 10-20% of the artists on this list. From time to time I'll waste a week trying to find music o...

So for those of you in the know, i have recently been delving into the world of hip-hop with lots of stuff by Common, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Jay-Z, Consequence, MF Doom, and the like. What i was lacking however was some solid, or really any, knowledge at all about the early days of hip-hop, and then came along Big Apple Rappin'. Not only is it released by one of my two favorite labels for compil...

Somehow it has become an average standard during the years that the continuous mix-CD’s are tracked, so that you can step forward or backward each song. This Parisian label with its CD including their tracks and remixes mostly doesn’t give a shit to this habit. There will only be a 74 minutes long audio track in the Hi-Fi, if we start to play the album. This is quite a unique way to communicat

VA - Nighttime Lovers, Vol. 6 [2007] Nighttime Lovers are mighty big groovers -- thanks to a fantastic selection of rare club cuts from the 80s! As with previous volumes, the cuts here go way past the obvious -- no over-reissued singles, nor too-poppy soul songs -- just tight-grooving numbers that show that there's plenty still to discover in the 80s soul scene! Instrumentation is heavy on keyb...
