“Repent Ye; For The Upsetter Is at Hand!”
August 19, 2008 – 10:58 am
It shouldn’t have gone unnoticed that over time I’ve profiled a few records produced by legendary Dub producer Lee “Scratch” Perry in this space. I’ve also invoked his name on numerous occasions even when he wasn’t directly involved with creating the music under discussion. The frequency of his appearances in my writing is […]
Back to the Lab, With a Stereo to Grab
August 18, 2008 – 10:56 am
Anyone who read Friday’s post (and there are more than a few of you… thank you all for the comments) can imagine that my weekend wasn’t going to be a “happy” one. Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t mark the occasion of my mothers’ passing with hand-wringing, weeping and gnashing of teeth (she wouldn’t […]

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. […]
Lunch @ 45RPM’s
June 12, 2008 – 10:28 am
I closed out yesterday’s post with a surprise video clip from one of my favorite new Hip-Hop dudes of the year, Saint Louis, Missouri’s Black Spade. When I originally bigged up homeboy’s debut album To Serve With Love I likened my reaction to it to my reaction to hearing the Below the Heavens, the […]
