This is one of those mega music posts - we've got 7 free tracks to share with you in this one! All of these tracks have a hip-hop base, but have been remixed, re-imagined and mashed up for your listening pleasure. Not all of these are brand new tunes - some have been floating around the web for a while, but I was just saving these up for just such a post as this. Enjoy the beats! First up, we've got the Conquistadors remix of 'Stuntin Like [...]

Today was the Sydney opening of Notorious, the biopic film about the life of hip hop star Notorious B.I.G., and I would most definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys rap music. Now for those of you who do not have a great knowledge of Hip Hop, and its history, it will give you a good insight into his background, the whole East coast vs West Coast war. It was a Hollywood film, so Biggie was portrayed as a good guy, and I am sure there was more to his beef with Tupac as described, but hey it made [...]

Funny but if you'd told us a few years back that Hip House would return, and what's more we'd love it, we might not have held your preminition in high regards. But now it seems like it might be the only way to really save artists like The Game and 50 Cent . Anyone who was feeling the DJ Wool remix we posted up a couple of days back will no doubt bug off this little Electro House rub of How We Do [...]

Spacey, soothing tune from the trumpeter's 70's Jazz Funk masterpiece Conquistador . Maynard Ferguson - Mister Mellow

OK well the third installment is upon us. Lots of dope stuff coming through over at the dj site too. Especially gobs of dope long mixes. Perfect for bathroom breaks or when you need to holler at a shorty. I hope everyone has found the links to the right from the most recent to start checking them out and rating them so I know which ones to put up on Fridays a little better. Anyway this week we got a real dope remix of Stuntin Like My Daddy (if nothing else it has a great use of "MUDDA [...]
Seriously, we've posted a few Sesame Street videos on Ugly Talented but this one just takes the piss. Not only have we got futureshocker Herbie Hancock schooling the kids on a $20,000 sampler but he also plays out with an electro version of the show's theme tune. Also look out for a young Tatyana Ali from The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Aah, but that's not all folks, check out this video of Herbie showing off his toys to Quincy Jones. Billy Paul [...]
If you guys are interested in reading even more about Fun Fun Fun Fest then I suggest jumping over to the Austin Sound. My review and pictures are there along with the same from Doug Freeman. There's even some commentary from a few of the local artists that were in attendance. It's seriously good stuff. Perhaps you can even check it out as you listen to the amazingly tasty EP that I have today. Enjoy. Please visit the site for more commentary and downloadable songs.

OK, yeah. So it's been a little more than a week since I posted here. Some of that is my fault and some of that is the fault of Independence Day along with the fact that I'm completely swamped with regular work-stuff and also busy trying to be relatively social. So, in the interest of giving away a bunch of stuff please enjoy these utterly free MP3s and look for more posts later this week when I've not been awake 20 out of every 24 hour period.

Anonymity is a concept that many artists revel in. While it applies primarily in the form of authors like Thomas Pynchon or J.D. Salinger, musicians can also be examples of this sociological preference. Jandek is arguably the most concise example of an "outsider musician", a musician who prefers no press and works in forms of singular seclusion. Artists like these primarily tend to be more respected among rational circles considering that these musicians have built dedicated fan bases through their music alone and not through over-publicized press or cynical media outlets. While The Conquistadors take too many promo [...]
