Reissues at Random, Vol. 80: Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons/Jake Holmes
February 6, 2009 – 10:30 am
When I likened Dent May to Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons in yesterday’s post about mood-altering music it reminded me of something about the vocal group…Though mostly known for motivational chestnuts like “Walk Like a Man” and “Big Girls Don’t Cry” the New Jersey-based foursome released at least one LP that was far more […]
You Can Describe People, Places and Things…Simply Unpack Your Adjectives
February 5, 2009 – 10:30 am
Somehow I managed to submerge myself in P.O.S.’s outstanding new LP Never Better—with its dystopian, Beyond Thunderdome view of mid-economic-collapse America—without getting bummed out, despite the fact that my own life is in a fiduciary tailspin. I figure it must be his rebellious indignance, sensitive optimism and self-motivational stance—not to mention his witty wordplay—that […]

Mixtapes I Don’t Hate: 100dBs and DJ Mekalek
August 11, 2008 – 11:00 am
Yeah, it’s another one. And no, when I started this “Mixtapes I Don’t Hate” shit I never thought it would become this regular of a feature. But the sheer profuseness of original, diverse “mixtape” projects hitting the scene seems to me like a fantastic indicator of just how healthy Hip-Hop is as an […]
Cool’s NOT Defined By Blog Updates?
July 29, 2008 – 11:11 am
It wasn’t billed as a mixtape like those profiled yesterday but Columbus, Ohio-based emcee/producer Blueprint’s Blueprint vs. Funkadelic project from earlier this Summer might as well have been one. Its underlying concept, building tracks on samples from Funkadelic songs, bordered on the sort of mashup-style shenanigans mixtapes are often made of these days. […]
