Just wanted to revive this long dead thread to say. The new Sage Francis album is killer. A Healthy Distrust on Epitaph records So far the highlights are the aforementioned Slow Down Gandhi and Sea Lion featuring Will Oldham Seriously some of the best stuff I've heard from this Paul...

dizzee would be the first to tell you how much he loved drum and bass/ jungle its all connected, and a lot of its really good so who cares what its called

I'm not quite sure what you mean, are you talking about the actual age of the tracks involved? Are you asking if they sound like the past or what we imagine the future to be? Personally I think the only way to find the future in music is to know the past. Grime for me sounds a lot like the...

true enough, but they don't really control the growing industry around mixtapes or pirate radio in the UK or live music performed in basements or the Internet as distribution there is a enough here to start something there is enough here to go with whats already going on if there is a...

no problem man I just figured it got lost in the shuffle your blog was a real inspiration got me into a lot of stuff I love now so yeah, no problem

not so much a bad teacher, as very little interesting material to teach we're moving into a post literate society its not a sad thing, just natural IMO more and more sub literate students get churned out by my countries education system every year a 9th grade primer from a hundred years...

well always have been a Leonard Cohen fan and he wrote poetry long before he ever started writing songs some of the stuff off of songs of leonard cohen and songs of love and hate would definitely fall under that mystical incantory tradition what I tend to think of as the lyric tradition...

I must confess that I don't get Brakhage His films convinced me that I wasn't cut out to be a director and change my major away from film. Although I do seem to remember liking Mothlight . I'm more thinking of films like the one where he refracts light through the bottom of an ashtray for an...

and what happened to Shark Major?

what did Riko do that landed him in jail, or what do they say he did?

Has anyone here heard Mosh yet? It just got leaked onto the interwebthingy yesterday. It is heavily, heavily political. I'm trying very hard to sort through my emotions about this, its Eminem making a very clear call to vote Bush out of office. Unfortunately his album drops on the 16 of...

I think I was thinking of songs like "Stan" and "Cleaning Out My Closet" as his ballads. You know, slow songs with some degree of sentimentality (well for him at least). I'm trying to make this cd precisely because I dislike him, and simultaneously admire his talent. I did a mix cd like this...

Eminem I'm looking to put together a mix cd of Eminem's best tracks, and I am looking for some input. The singles would be an obvious starting point, but I'm trying to get the best he's done. So mixtape tracks, collaborations, whatever. Here is what I know I'm going to put on it. My Name Is...

thanks for the suggestions umm thanks, that should do me as far as suggestions goes it'll take me awhile to just check these guys out one thing I got to be careful about is confusing my mental filing system with reality I tend to think of hip hop as the genre name in its entirety like rock...

I was thinking about this when I was driving around in my car today. My major quibble with a lot of this is (undie), is that it is classicist hiphop, meaning two turntables and a microphone. And then I'm thinking, "Wait you don't like something because its being true to its roots, thats a...

Well I'm fine talking to myself I forgot a few things Rhymesayers for me is a local thing, you know Atmosphere, Eyedea and Abilities, Brother Ali. Brother Ali is everything I like about underground hiphop. Shadows on the Sun reminds me a little of Solesides and a little bit of Killah...

I'm curious what you people think of this whole thing. Initially when I started listening to underground/indie hiphop I was pretty dismissive, since I've got my head adjusted I've become fairly interested. One guy I took an about face on was Sage Francis. The general consensus on ILM seems...

yeah this is definitely a good idea ever since k-punks comments box got closed I've felt like there wasn't any place for the blogging community to discuss, well ... whatever this is very cool thanks messirs woebot and k -punk
