Jedi Mind Tricks - 12" Heavy Metal Kings.
You like mosh and hophop, go see them. I know I'll be bruised on October 1st and 2nd.

That was a tease. I had to get my Amber Probe EP out of my "Cardboard Safe".
I'm hoping that I'll get my new JMT LP in mail tomorrow.

Tribe Called Quest: Low End Theory
<img src="http://image.allmusic.com/00/amg/cov200/drf700/f744/f74467tjqej.jpg">
Wonder if jazz lovers would get into this with all the jazz samples or if most would just cast it aside because its hip-hop?

How about Jazzmatazz? Vol 2 is my favorite. With that in mind, I'm reaching for Madlib, Shades of Blue.

Kids I know who love HipHop HATE Jazz.

You members ever heard Planet Rock by Jason Moran on the Bandwagon? Jazz covering HipHop? Ut-ohhhhhh. I need to go get his new album.

Never heard that versoin of Planet Rock, but that Madlib is quite good. I may have to pull that out real soon myself.

Did I read that correctly? If so, I agree completely. I cannot stand his other stuff. Yesterday's New Quintet? No thanks. I do love the track he produced such as Critical by Zion I. I think one or 2 on Living Legend. Have you heard any of Lootpack?
-
Shades of Blue is the only thing I've heard from him. I like it a bunch, but just never have gotten around to anything else.
Not real up on my hip-hop these days, mostly tend to old stuff and teh occasional newer record that makes it onto my radar...so any directions ya wanna point in are always welcome.

I was going thru your taste of music, but decide to say fcuk it after about 5 posts. I found some hiphop thread so decided to post instead. So if you and anyone else is interested...
What's the deal with Handsome Family? Any good?
-
Handsome Family is something a little diferent. They've got a sorta Country/Americana/Folk vibe musically with a rather dark lyrical bent. They're a husband and wife duo, she does the lyrics, they work together on the instrumentation and he sings. Used to based in Chicago, but moved out west somewhere. I'm a big fan, and a couple others around here are too.
They can tend to get a bit stuck in their rut...not a ton of variation from record to record. But, if you like their sound, nothing that's gonna deter you since they don't have a lotta competition for their particular brand of gothic country. So, going back to the same well is pretty much ok with me considering they lack much company around that particular well.
Through the Trees is probably the one that would be good to start with. Their 2006 release is pretty good, but I'd rank it behind a couple other things, including Twilight and Singing Bones as well.

I bought a CD!!!!!! shiney, shiney, jainimo likes shiney
Right now,
Jason Moran - Artist in Residence
He took a different approach this time. For some reason he reminds me of Ron Miles. I guess cuz he just does his own stuff without soptlights.

Roxy Music - Manifesto. Gotta love this trash. Why is it that I get laid every time I play RM? :confused5: :idea: :nonod:
Heavy D - Living Large.

Brett & Rennie are hella talented, never far from my player. Just be prepared to go in search of a funeral to cheer yourself up after a listen.

Not my favorite English Beat, but I like 'em all enough that they get played from time to time. This one does strike a nice middle ground between the polish of Special Beat Service and the energy of I Just Can't Stop It.

I cannot believe that I missed 666th post. Man, I'm still a big kid.
I just got off of work and stoped by a store. 50% off of vinyls on sale. Picked up some pretty good stuff, 4 LPs, 1 12" single, 1 CD and a couple of promoes for $38. Mostly hiphop and 180gram of the Amazing Nina Simone for $6!!!
Not going out tonight since I'm preparing myself for the Great American Beer Festival next week.

This record has been waiting for the right moment to be listened to. And last night was the night. House to myself and good red wine.
An expensive audiophool recording of Muddy Waters. Disc 2 was recorded live in Chicago in 1969 and Boy was that double disc worth the money. Absolute bliss.
Peace

Aaahhh, the busy time is over.The last few weeks have seemed like an unpleasant blur and it is, with a degree of gratitude, that I settle in for a weekend of rest and relaxation and tunes...

Damn fine start, I'd say. Mezzanine is a solid album. Over here the subject of the evening is Toccata--200 years of German Organ Music. Bram Beekman plays the De Rijckere organ of the Oostkerk in Middleburg, The Netherlands

...pretty heavy stuff that will, at times, tax your sub.Lovely...

Nice, I downloaded that album, its good stuff.
Now I'm listneing to
Múm - Dusk Log
Just started it it, listening to Kostryzn, such a good track.
-
Love Mum...but never have heard that EP.
How's it compare to their other stuff?
-
a bit hip hop/funk on this evening,
too short - the Ghetto
lakeside - fantastic voyage
ronnie hudson - west coast pop lock
then probably the nightmares on wax lp (in a space outta sound)
and robbie williams - what we did last summer dvd
and then, when i need my daily impulse of jazz, probably one of my blue note label records and dave brubeck, that will do me some good too.
