A few weeks ago international pop sensation, Orisha Sound, connected with Jamaica’s, Sizzla Kalonji to create the single “Embrace it”. Since the song was leaked to the media and general public it has gotten great reviews and is already on heavy radio rotation. Wanting to capitalize on the momentum, producer, Shel K immediately invested in a video which was shot and edited by Terminal 4 (based in Jamaica).

If you have been reading what we have to say for a while, you might have run across some Carter Tanton around here. His 2011 album,  Freeclouds , was one that we posted three or four singles from, and yet I never got around to getting a copy, despite my enjoyment of each song I heard from it. That oversight on my part aside, Tanton is back with a new album and a new moniker he's recording under. Now going by Luxury Liners, Tanton's new album is entitled  They're Flowers , which is slated for release on April [...]

Sasha Lord presides over Connecticut Avenue, NW these days, transforming the popular pizza joint, Comet Ping Pong , into a prized music venue at night. Ping-pong tables disappear and the music gear takes over for an intimate venue setting. The talent that has come through Comet under Lord's rule has been impressive, not only booking out-of-state bands before they are widely known, Lord also generously gives the stage to only the best of DC's local bands and such will be the case Friday night.

NOW this may sound stupid, but in these days of misleading band names such as Egyptian Hip-Hop, Retribution Gospel Choir and Manchester Orchestra, I was genuinely surprised on hearing them that The Creole Choir of Cuba was actually a choir. But Santiman's opener Preludio blasts away that notion - this is choral work. There is a strong Caribbean influence, an answer to Africa's Ladysmith Black Mambazo, but this is not the Buena Vista Social Club-style vibe I had expected. Now there are upbeat tracks here, but the overall effect of the LP is weighed down by the [...]

One of the mouse traps in my bedroom has disappeared. I did a cursory hunt last night when I was going to bed, but I didn't find it. My guess is the occupant scratched and pushed and moved it, but that's just a guess, a good guess though as past occupants also managed to move it. Their exertions used to wake me up. The missing trap has to be near the bookcase on which I had been setting them (if you call putting in peanut butter setting them). Later, when it gets lighter, I'll do a better hunt. [...]
