Quest'anno abbiamo aspettato davvero fino all'ultimo minuto. Credo non volessimo ancora pensare al rituale delle classifiche di fine anno: c'erano troppe cose ancora da ascoltare, alla faccia di tutti quelli che hanno scritto che musicalmente è stato un 2012 mediocre. Invece scorro i titoli qui sotto e mi sembra ne esca una bella istantanea. Come ribadisco ogni volta, questi non sono "i migliori dischi dell'anno", ma soltanto quelli che ci hanno tenuto più compagnia, in radio e sul blog, nei mesi passati. Solo un'altra pagina del nostro diario fatto di canzoni, per ricordarci questi mesi ormai passati. Eccovi dunque [...]

Gluttony Is The New Black x That’s Deck Present: Best of 2012 Mix “Hey dude, so uh, I really like your blog…” “Thanks boo, I uh, think yours is pretty cool too…” Two blogs that have been exchanging tracks and tripping over each other’s posts in admiration all year long, finally decided to succumb to those urges, and give you all what you really want. That’s right, That’s Deck and GITNB got together to bring you a mix of everything that was exceptionally good in 2012. We [...]
It’s Friday, and we’re back with another installment of our regular roundup of downloadable MP3 goodness from around the web. This week there’s a track from proud 4AD signees Purity Ring, along with new work from Sun Kil Moon, LA Vampires, and the duo formerly known as Hype Williams. There's also an entire album from D'Eon, a fascinating John Cale remix, yet another cover of "Some Velvet Morning," and plenty more. In other words, there’s plenty of interesting sounds awaiting you after the jump, and since they won’t cost a penny or land you an RIAA lawsuit, as your attorneys [...]

The new ectoplasmic soul quasi-movement – of which Dean Blunt and Inga Copeland’s latest release in Hyperdub is an almost archetypical example - creates the soundtrack for that future the cyberpunk dreamers envisaged long ago, and which may yet come to pass as the machines leave us all physically stranded in a post-favela urban reticule, taking pot-shots at each other across the future-shell-shocked streets of the informal economy. They do this by sounding – apologies – exotic, harkening to the East which overlays Bladerunner’s Angelino bustle, creole, rough like bootleg mixtapes hot off some fast-food joint [...]
![[Listen] Dean Blunt & Inga Copeland: "Track 2"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4209503_lg.jpg)
Esta es una muy grata sorpresa para mi ya que no estaba tan enterado de que las mentes detras de Hype Williams estarian editando un nuevo album de estudio como Dean Blunt & Inga Copeland y si, puede que esta nota ya lleve varias semanas circulando por la red e incluso me parece que ya se filtro por completo "Black Is Beautiful" pero en lo personal, creo que esta es una de esas cosas de las cuales vale mucho la pena hablarles aunque ya hayan pasado varias semanas desde su aparicion. Pues bueno, esta dupla proveniente del Reino Unido acaba [...]
