The first entry in an ongoing series where we talk about music and travel. Perhaps nowhere else in the world boasts the musical diversity of Colombia. Recently, it attracted renowned videographer Vincent Moon and Lula Cruz to the country for a trek around, which turned into a feature film, Esperando el Tsunami (Waiting for the Tsunami). Not to mention a high-visibility visit by Barack Obama (and correspondingly high-visibility scandal with the Secret Service) to Cartagena de Indes. Along with Rio, Cartagena [...]
Alright so I have a bit of a confession to make. Today I bought my first album in a long, long time. How long? Let's put it this way, the last CD I purchased was Sum 412s Does This Look Infected? For those of you that know the album (and it's a beauty), that thing was released during the awkward formative years of middle school.....well for me at least. I try to support the artists best I can by going to their shows and buying their merch, but that can only go so far. So I made a [...]
Summer vibes from 12-3 Recordings! About: Emmerson is one productive dj, besides releasing solo material and unleashing his monster collab project with homie Daniel Klauser, he’s taken the time to produce one solid two track ep for us, due to popular demand. Well constructed tracks, both tropical with a UK touch, Emmerson gives us two dance floor tracks to be used often. Crispy ambiance and a great bounce defines the two songs, and showcases Emmersons skills as a producer. Keep your eyes on this one, you’ll be hearing more from [...]
wenn ich hometapes schreibe, meine ich hometapes. es gibt kaum ein anderes label, das sich aktuell und zugleich genre untreu und traditionell gibt. eine eierlegende wollmilchsau sozusagen. auch mit the carribbean gilt es auf eine band aufmerksam zu machen, die sich einerseits dem vergleich mit den labelkollegen entzieht und andererseits allem modernen diametral entgegensteht. und doch betreiben sie keine aufbackstube, sondern suchen sich ganz eigene wege. die drei protagonisten sind allesamt in begrenztem zeitlichen umfang mit tagesjobs beschäftigt, vom anwalt über den lehrer bis hin zum bibliothekar. für das musik machen bleibt dennoch genügend raum. nicht [...]
Grupo Vocal Desandann - Guédé Nibo ( buy ) (1999) Sometimes I'm just fed up with news images. Especially when such a tragedy hits. You get saturated by pictures and videos on TV, in the web, in your papers... It really looks like, as Rev Gary Davis used to sing, death don't have no mercy in this land. This beautiful song by a vocal ensemble of Haitian singers from Cuba (there's a huge Haitian community there) is dedicated to the day of the dead, on november 1st. Guédé Nibo is a spirit [...]
Now that the "Eight Days of Hometapes" MP3 celebration is over it's time to dive head-first into a holiday hangover, right? Well, not quite. There's still a lot of high-science fudge to be made and eaten; presents to be wrapped; more fudge to be made and eaten and then maybe even more presents ... I just wish there could be a new, free MP3 waiting for me at the beginning of every day. Why does it have to end? While I ask myself this question The Carribean 's "Christmastime is [...]
I meant to drape this little bit of tinsel a long time ago, but I'm space-y as Kevin this time of year and vulnerable to long bouts of eating, drinking and overall indulging. For instance, last night Penny and I indulged in a metric ton of taco chips and watched movies. Normally I'd stop eating at some point but HEY, IT'S THE HOLIDAYS. Hometapes know, perhaps more than anyone, that Christmas only comes but once a year, and must be celebrated to the utmost. Hence the creation of the Eight Days Of Hometapes series, eight Christmas/holiday tunes by [...]
You could win a copy of Morrissey's new CD Years of Refusal at Muruch ! I'm sorry I told you, because I really want to win it myself. Still reeling from that bout of the flu? The photo of Iggy Pop at To Die By Your Side will make you feel better, and Iggy's covers of "Louie Louie" and "Pablo Picasso" will do even more. Harry at Tha Bomb Shelter says Doves are [...]
Toronto – One of my pet peeves about watching movies is when actors pretend to be a musicians but aren't actually playing their instruments. I know this is a ridiculous thing to get upset about, but I can’t help it. There’s just something about it that destroys the illusion. All of a sudden I realize that it’s all a fake, and I’m just along for the ride. I know that everything I’m watching on the tube is fabricated, but this is where my suspension of reality really gets shattered. Every artist is a [...]
The Note Books series features musicians discussing their literary side. Past contributors have included John Darnielle , John Vanderslice , and many others. In its review of the Caribbean's new album, Populations (out today), Pitchfork described the band's songwriting that "maps a world caught between childhood imagination and adult drudgery, where you can be a secret agent one minute and stuck in a dead-end job the next." The band (and its music) is smart and literate, the musical equivalent of a Stewart O'Nan [...]

Benjai, “Wine To The Side” MP3
All over the world right now multi-generational shops of women are ordering feathers, sequins and spandex from China, preparing costumes for Karnaval/Carnaval/Carnival cruising season. In those sewing rooms they're probably setting stitching pace against the sounds of the flood of Soca chunes being recorded and released in anticipation of this year's parties and parades. This [...]

Trinidad!
As I stepped out of my building in Toronto, immediately a sub zero wind cut through every layer of clothing on my body one question hit my mind with profound urgency: what the fuck am I doing here? I went to Trinidad this winter.
