Shuffle Songs, Vol. 6 — Change (From One Song to Another) You Can Believe In

January 29, 2009 – 10:30 am
The new for 2009 shit is stacking up and I’m still trying to get caught up on some 2008 standouts that I may have neglected. Which is why you’ll find a slept-on release by a Cali space-cadet from last Fall, new records from a Left Coast “alternative” Hip-Hop originator, a boy/girl Synth-Punk duo and an […]

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 […]

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 […]
