Shuffle Songs, Vol. 8 — All of That Shuffling is Making Me Sick

April 2, 2009 – 10:30 am
There are a number of reasons why I may have woken up this morning feeling sick…The late-night walk in the rain I took yesterday could have been a factor.

Hexes’ and Eche’s

December 4, 2008 – 10:30 am
A full week of December is nearly over, which means the end of 2008 is nigh. The tail end of any year is typically kinda slow music-wise. The usual flood of releases is reduced to a trickle. People in “the industry” increasingly take time off for the holidays. Folks like me […]

He’s also one of a handful of artists who’s returned to this space with some amount of frequency over the ensuing eighteen months. The reasons I’ve paid him such conspicuous attention […]

No Refund, Exchange Only

October 15, 2008 – 10:30 am
I confess, I’m confused as to the current status of Carolinian Hip-Hop crew Little Brother. They’re a group I’ve long championed.
