Jonwayne threw us a jam from Cassette 2 , this one's featuring Zeroh.. so these are fresh joints from the wayniac's layer. More about the second tape release here. The sample on the beat to Passing Fancies is incredibly ill.]]> text/html 2013-04-23T17:54:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4910217/jonwayne-cool-runnings-feat-zeroh/
Jonwayne uploaded another track -"Cool Runnings"- off of his Cassette 2 yesterday, featuring the cool-tounged, Long Beach residing rapper, Zeroh . In case you needed it, (which you didn't), "Cool Runnings" is proof of Jon's mastery in beat production and spoken word. If you haven't heard of Jonwayne before, imagine J Dilla and Notorious B.I.G. had a white baby who grew up playing Nintendo 64 for at least 6 hours a day; alternatively, stream the track below- Buy Cassette 2 via Stones Throw Records See [...]]]> text/html 2013-04-05T19:18:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4873315/shy-boys-ride-julia/
Shy Boys // Ride / Julia So Im just going to spare myself the heartbreak and assume that the formation of Shy Boys is the final nail in the coffin as far as COOLRUNNINGS is concerned. If for whatever reason I am wrong please someone let me know. Shy Boys is the new project from lovable weirdo Brandon Biondo ( COOLRUNNINGS , Walsh ) along with vocalist Nichole McMinn. I knew that the project was something special when [...]]]> text/html 2013-03-12T06:34:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4827586/12-years-of-mixes/
I never got around to mentioning, but for anyone who looks at my mixes over at 8tracks , I finally got around to a "Best Of 20123 mix and put it up there, instead of the Opentape thing I had been doing for the last few years that I doubt anyone ever used. Here's the tracklist for 2012 : 01. Moses Gold - Powder and Blood 02. Grimes - Oblivion 03. Serengeti feat. Yoni Wolf - Geti Life 04. Sean Born - Pour Out Liquor 05.

Thanks to WTD for pointing out these new COOLRUNNINGS songs. Both these tracks are dark, sexy and fun in kind of a Sister of Mercy gothic-offshoot 80s kind of way. Even though it's a complete 180 from what I expected from COOLRUNNINGS, it's terribly fun.]]> text/html 2012-11-10T21:40:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4624551/coolrunningsforever/
Sons of Knoxville, COOLRUNNINGS, released two tracks. "Forever" and "No Imagination" do well to show the band's songwriting maturation over the years. Check out both tracks below.]]> text/html 2012-11-08T19:41:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4607378/fuzzy-freebies-349-free-downloads-of-the-day/

Considero que "Belewe" fue una excelente cancin que nos permiti ver otra faceta de la banda COOLRUNNINGS adems de la que se ve atiborrada de su bienintencionado garage rock para jvenes de odos sensibles. An as, hay gente que difiere de esto, ya sea porque no consideraron nada buena su produccin o tan sencillo como que odian los cambios. En una de sas igual y Brandon Biondo ley o escuch algo, porque para su nuevo sencillo llamado Forever , con un b-side de nombre " No Imagination ", retoman [...]]]> text/html 2012-09-09T21:37:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4497236/inkraakt-a-semana-em-resumothe-week-in-summary-kraak/

MP3: COOLRUNNINGS - Belewe If you've only kept up with COOLRUNNINGS through their A+ string of online releases (including last year's incredible album Dracula Is Only the Beginning), "Belewe" might come as a bit of a shock to you.

Cool Runnings, still fresh off the release of their debut Lp 'Dracula Is Only The Beginning', have just dropped a new track. There's not much to be known about the band excepting the fact their record was one of the little-known masterpieces of February and Belewe , which has a name that seems like nonsense but apparently is actually quite profound , is a great tune.]]> text/html 2012-09-06T04:00:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4497043/just-heard-coolrunnings-new-single-and-ep-in-the-works/
Bringing to mind the beat of a seductively melted Donna Summer cassette tape with brooding vocals, COOLRUNNINGS releases the harmonious new single "Belewe," from an upcoming untitled EP tentatively set for delivery come January 2013. Once a song-writing duo, COOLRUNNINGS amicably continues on as the pet solo project of Knoxville Tennessee man, Brandon Biondo.

Hoy vi cmo por primera vez se habl de Teen Daze en el blog mexicano lifeboxset, entendiendo por ello que Ben Wagner triunf en otros sitios como Stereogum o Gorilla vs. Bear. Una gran proeza si tomamos en cuenta la cantidad de bandas que se crean cada semana. Y ahora que escuchaba la nueva cancin de Coolrunnings , banda de Knoxville, Tennessee, me preguntaba para cundo podr ser que la veamos romper dicha barrera (yo no creo que tarden tanto; con su disco Dracula Is Only The Beginning se vieron bien mencionados en [...]]]> text/html 2012-09-04T18:52:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4493806/september-2012-mix/
Just as Norman Foster says of our need for cities in the opening of Urbanized , the thing that attracts me to new music is the surprise of the unexpected. I need it like pancakes need syrup. I'll listen to a new discovery over and over again until the desire in my head is quenched. This mix is somewhat of a follow up to July , with an unprecedented repeat of three artists. But it has a smoother, less retro feel, appropriate as vacations wrap up, students go back to the educational [...]]]> text/html 2012-08-24T10:05:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4466930/friday-mixtape-158-by-rencedout/

My coworkers are typically too annoyed by his voice for me to play him out loud, but ever since he floored me with a snarling performance of "Positive Jam" when opening for Les Savy Fav back in 2004 , Craig Finn's lyrics have been ones that I give my full and undivided attention to. One of my favorite Hold Steady lines is in "Multitude of Casualties": We heard the deacon's hopeful eulogy At least in dying you don't have to deal with new wave for a second time In reality, [...]]]> text/html 2012-06-22T14:45:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4345917/stream-coolrunnings-chrysalis/
I went to COOLRUNNINGS' Bandcamp page a few minutes ago to find the link to buy Dracula Is Only the Beginning on vinyl, but first saw that they'd posted a new track!
