Artist: Gil Scott-Heron

Another year, another astonishing array of releases to get you through January to December. But where last year had some very clear cut winners across the board (from the likes of Arcade Fire, Kanye West and LCD Soundsystem), this year has not appeared so obvious. But, better late than never, Hotcakes brings you an eclectic list carefully decided by our five writers. Enjoy! 30. Givers - In Light 29. Balam Acab - Wander / Wonder 28. The Black Keys - El Camino 27. Gui Boratti - III [...]

I don't normally do a top ten for the year end past, but felt the need to just put on together. So click it below and feel free to tell me to bugger off. 1. Adele - 21 (iTunes) HERE (Amazon) HERE There is NO denying that this is the record of the year. However many records she may have sold this year it doesn't really matter, the fact is, this record is flawless from start to finish. The production, [...]

As the year winds down to a close and we look ahead to the promise of 2012, it's only fitting that we pause for a moment to remember several dance music artists who we lost in 2011. Some of these artists are well known, others aren't. No matter what their level of profile was at the time of their passing, all of these artists left a legacy of music for future generations to enjoy. Loleatta Holloway One of the most sampled voices in music history died on March 21 after slipping into a [...]

CLICK PICTURE TO VIEW FLYER I already knew this event is definitely special, but now seeing that Okayplayer gave their co-sign , there's definitely more than enough reasons for you to NOT miss this special show!

There will be special guests at this event who will be performing, and Yasiin Bey (pka Mos Def ) will be doing a tribute to the legendary and prolific poet! There's waaay [...]

In Things That Needed To Happen news... the prolific San Francisco mashup-crafter Wait What has brought the seamless talents you probably heard him exhibit on Notorious XX to Drake's Take Care title track, blending it together with the song it samples and interpolates, Gil Scott Heron and Jamie XX's collaborative "I'll Take Care of You." Wait What keeps Drake's verses intact, replacing Rihanna's hook section with Heron's vocals. "Take [...]

I'm sort of surprised it took this long for this remix to pop up, but here we have Wait What mashing up Drake and Jamie XX with Gil Scott-Heron. One track is off of Drakes, Take Care , and the other off of We're New Here from Gil Scott-Heron and Jamie XX. It's pretty much the perfect blend of both songs. Enjoy. Download: Gil Scott-Heron & Jamie XX vs. Drake - "Take Care of U" Wait What Remix

wait what - take care of u (drake vs gil scott heron & jamie xx) by wait what Remember when you heard "Take Care" for the first time and thought, why the hell is Rihanna on this? Well here you go. Nothing against Rihanna but she was basically an unnecessary addition to the song, probably to gain more widespread appeal and radio plays. wait what takes the song to what it could have (and I think should have been), leaving the hook to Gil Scott-Heron and keeping jamie xx's original production, bye [...]

As you kids seem to be quite receptive to the Michael Jackson vs. The Weeknd mash-up , it might not be too far of a stretch for you to like what mash-up expert, wait what , has got up his sleeve. From the maker of the This Is Real Life album and the Notorious xx project, here's a new mash full of relevance. Taking Gil Scott-Heron and Jamie xx 's "I'll Take Care of U" and Drake and Rihanna 's "Take Care," wait what [...]

Como siempre no es tarea fácil escoger lo mejor del año según nuestros colaboradores. Este año no fue la excepción. Pero aquí por fin está nuestro recuento 2011, con los álbumes más destacados del año de acuerdo al criterio de nuestro equipo. Desde hace varias temporadas que la elección de los mejores discos del año para el staff de Super 45 no resultaba tan consensuada. Por supuesto que siempre estaban los matices respecto a si cierto disco era o no un bluff, o si la animadversión contra los personajes era suficiente como para hundir sus respectivas [...]

As the end of the year approaches, it's time for us to look back at the past twelve months and decide what have been our favourite albums of the year. This time it hasn't been an easy task because let's face it, 2011 has definitely not been a great year for music, and personally, I [...]

It's safe to say that a majority of our readers are quite familiar with the musical history of Port Chester, New York's Capitol Theatre . Built in 1926 and designed by the architect Thomas W. Lamb, who also designed the United Palace Theater in Upper Manhattan, the theater may be most famous for hosting the Grateful Dead an astonishing 18 times during an 11-month period, but also saw just about every major and influential music act grace its stage from Pink Floyd, Traffic, Joe Cocker and Janis Joplin (who played her next-to-last show there) in the early 19702s to [...]

Jim James and co. cover the late Gil Scott-Heron at Madison Square Garden.

Wrapping up their winter tour dates, Kentucky rockers My Morning Jacket played one final show at New York's famed Madison Square Garden last week. The band has been known to play covers while on stage, and this show was no different. During their performance, the Louisville outfit played a cover of the late Gil Scott-Heron 's "The Bottle," as well as a cover of Bing Crosby's Christmas classic "I'll Be Home For Christmas," which was included on the band's holiday-themed iTunes session . The Bing Crosby classic also saw their opening act Band of Horses join [...]

La semana pasada My Morning Jacket se presentó en vivo y sorprendió en vivo con una versión del recientemente fallecido Gil Scott-Heron: "The Bottle" y además, muy acorde con la temporada, se aventuraron con un cover de Bing Crosby a "I'll Be Home For Christmas" (esta última canción está incluida en un EP que el grupo publicó como sesión especial para iTunes). Acá te dejamos el video de la actuación

Last week, My Morning Jacket played MSG and in the midst of their epic sprawl of a live show, the band unwrapped covers of Gil Scott-Heron's " The Bottle " and Bing Crosby's " I'll Be Home For Christmas ," a song they also handled on their latest iTunes Session EP. Band Of Horses, the opener, filled in as support for the latter. Check the live videos out down below. Read More...

Photo by Nate Slevin My Morning Jacket may not be on this year's list of best live acts , but they're still one of the best experiences on the circuit. Last week, the Kentucky rockers wrapped up their string of winter dates with a show at Madison Square Garden, and as usual their set was sprinkled with some killer covers (how usual? Check this guy's list out). First, Jim James & Co. served up a rendition of the late Gil Scott-Heron's "The Bottle". Remaining very faithful [...]

Creo que unos de los grandes ausentes en el conteo de los 150 tracks de 2011 fue My Morning Jacket pero pues, como les he venido diciendo: es practicamente imposible incluir toda la musica increible que fue apareciendo a lo largo de este año y en general eh, reunir en una minima lista anual todo lo que fue surgiendo en 12 meses es algo muy complicado. Pero bueno, como no inclui nada de su album "Circuital", el dia de hoy vengo a compartirles este cover que me acabo de su mas reciente presentacion en el Madison Square Garden hace un [...]
