Oakland legend Del the Funkee Homosapien swept in this week with a new tape, which he promises is the first in a trilogy of free tapes to be released this year. Entirely self-produced, and entirely dependent on P-Funk samples, West Coast Avengers finds Del doing lots of what he's always done: shouting out wack rappers, flowing capably over funk sampling beats and reflecting on life in the Bay. He sounds super comfortable here. Indeed, at times, his production and his lyrics sound too comfortable. Still, for those of us who are longstanding fans of Del - the hallucinogen [...]

It's been a really long time since we've done an update on this little playlist. This first song is about 6 years old now and it's a classic off Sufjan Stevens Illinoise . His whispery vocals float across the top of a wonderfully put together song. Steel strung guitar, a banjo plinking along in the background and some trumpet that has a great little refrain - it really is delightful. A slightly absurd word to use to describe music, granted, but spot on for this song. It's also nice to have something folksy on here, I think you'll agree. [...]
Del Tha Funky Homosapien " Hold Your Hand"
Bay-Area super group Hieroglyphics are back in a big way, releasing a new song "Reputation" in conjunction with a series of paintings inspired by the group from When Art Imitates Life (W.A.I.L .) - Hiero served as the guiding creative force behind the Hieroglyphics Legacy and Monument Series paintings. From music to art to clothing collaborations, and more, the legendary Hiero crew has certainly earned quite a "Reputation," and the aptly named song celebrates the Hiero legacy. This no-frills track is all about the flow; synthy guitar riffs and bare bones [...]

So you might have noticed things have slowed down a little. Plagued by technical issues, I'm prone to bug outs and stress levels that I can't deal with. But it seems like things are running smoothly, so Loose Ends, right? Right. Here we go. Halifax, Nova Scotia rapper over some Classified production. Classified 's production is always so on point.

Nostalgia FTW! There's something very old school about L.A. based rap duo Cool Catz. And it's wonderful. This is the [fake] YE-LID exclusive on how Cool Catz were formed. [Vanilla Ice enters the club. Sits down next to Del Tha Funky Homo Sapien.] Del: Holy shit, it's Vanilla Ice! Vanilla Ice: Yeah man, what's up? Del: What've you been up to in the past twenty years? VI: Y'know, just rap, beats, bitches. The usual. Been really working at my craft. [...]
Have you guys heard of the Pop's Bar in the Mission? Well, every 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month at Pop's Bar on 2800 24th St. in San Francisco, they host a thing called DIARY which is a nostalgic night of 90s emo and pop punk music. Including the likes of Sunny Day Real Estate, Death Cab for Cutie, Saves the Day, The Get Up Kids, Braid, Mineral, Planes Mistaken for Stars, Far and Texas Is the Reason . How freakin' cool is that? Anyway, tonight has our friends at ipickmynose [...]
The next few days are relatively calm for shows, but there are some QUALITY ones in the area that you might want to consider attending. Here in Baltimore the Ottobar has a great event with MC Lars, Entertainment System, Pash, and Club Scout. Down in DC the Black Cat has Cursive, Man Man, and Andrew Wright. Finally one of my all time favorites is playing Philly tonight. Del The Funky Homosapien will be performing at the First Unitarian Church with Mike Relm and Bukue One. Should be great! mp3: Del The [...]
Well, the Crystal Castles cancelled like primadonnas, the Rangers are playing badly, and tax day has come and gone, but no ACORN party crasher people were beaten senseless by TeaParty party people (at least, not as of my writing this), and we are back to trudging through our senseless and hopeless professional lives. But don't dispair! There are extracirricular activities involving music and stuff going on in Dallas this weekend. Hit the jump to find out the who, the what, the where, and links for tickets (if any). Thursday, April 16 [...]
Del just dropped a new album for free. It's called Funk Man (The Stimulus Package) and you can grab it at his website . Here's the video for the opening track. I've always been a big fan of Del's voice/flow/delivery, but sometimes he chooses really monotonous beats. Pretty sure this one samples a car horn. But shit, it's Del! And it's free! So I fux with it. PigeonsandPlanes
Here's some news I'm kicking myself for missing: Dinosaur Jr. signed with Jagjaguwar last week. Luckily I didn't miss the recent announcement of a tour. And the Dino boys will be stopping in Bloomington, Ind. - hometown of their new label. Which means I'll finally get to see the legend that is J. Mascis. I think I just peed myself a little. Dinosaur Jr. - Almost Ready Dinosaur Jr. (with Del Tha Funky Homosapien) - Missing Link [...]
Words By Landon A. Back when I was an angry young teen, I hung around the graff heads from school. You know these dudes: paint-stained shoes, unnecessarily, torn up fitteds, reeked like cigarettes/weed/cheap beer...yup, this was my crew. We'd spend most Saturdays driving around the city with our only friend with a driver's license, shoved up against subwoofers that only worked 1/3 of the time, making fun of emo kids at the local laser tag place and taking flicks of the previous nights work.

While we're all sitting down to eat, relax, and eventually fall asleep, I thought maybe you'd enjoy some tunes to help you nod off in style.
