There are the essential albums that need to be in everyone's collection. There are the personal favorites, the ones that aren't highly acclaimed but still get played every once in a while. And then there are the albums that you stick in the back of your collection because you want to forget that you spent money on them. "Own It or Disown It" gives the writer the opportunity to look at such discarded albums and determine if they are diamonds in the rough or if they deserve to be used as mini-frisbees. [...]
![[Download] Pillowfight (Dan The Automator x Emily Wells) - "In The Afternoon"](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4165733_lg.jpg)
Deltron Event II isn't the only big project from super producer Dan The Automator this year. Automator has hooked up with singer/songwriter Emily Wells for a new collaborative project called Pillowfight which also features long time Automator collaborator Kid Koala on turntables. According to Wells' website , the group came together when Kid Koala and Wells met at the Calgary Folk Fest. Koala, a friend of Dan's knew he'd been working on a "passion project" and was hoping to find a female lyricist/vocalist. Emily went to San Francisco to [...]

Handsome Boy Modeling School ft. J-Live & Roisin Murphy - The Truth "You can't hide from the truth, Because the truth is all there is..." She speaks the truth!! Well another Pandora recommendation this track was. Because seriously, I have never heard of this duo before, I had seen the name Roisin Murphy in blogs but if you asked me yesterday who she was, I wouldn't be able to tell you. So for those of you who are on the same boat as me, I'm stealing a little from last.fm and giving [...]
It's a typically dope thing about hip-hop that one of its foremost architects — an old- and true-school icon who nurtured acts like De La Soul, cut the genre's standard bearer for concept albums, and, for better or worse, produced boom-bap's first comic interlude — will be manhandling the DJ booth at Good Life this Saturday at Fresh Produce's fourth anniversary party. I'm pretty sure that Beatles mastermind George Martin didn't spend much time spinning dusty 45s on London's underground rock scene... [...]
Take nothing but pictures, Leave nothing but footprints, Kill nothing but time. Throwback : Galt MacDermot - Coffee Cold (don lowed) -- Throwback : Handsome Boy Modeling School - The Truth (Feat. Roisin & J-Live) (don lowed)
Its been so long since I've thrown out some Reats & Bhymes you probably forgot I know anything about serving up a meal. Aint True tho. No, not vain, just wanting to share a good thing. I think it pisses God off when you walk by the colour purple in a field and don't notice it. No lie. When I was younger, one of the first TV shows I remember really liking was Get A Life. I think it just happened to be on at the time when I started to turn from "I'm a kid and I [...]

It started with a verse, each person just came and joined in, some are complete strangers, some only teenagers, all of us creators, we are the dreammakers, internationally transmitting through bandwidth, passin this bands passion so the masses can jam with us, all are invited to play, none are required to pay, let the virus spread, inspire heads, go pirate away, this is that free music, for people who need music, just listen and breathe to it. In case you haven't realized, our limits are quickly retreating. This video is another great example of artists coming [...]
The previews during Avatar yesterday looked mostly lame. However, the two below may be worth checking out when they are out. I've heard lots of good things about the new Robin Hood movie. Robin Hood (2010 Release) Clash of the Titans It's a very slow day. Have off for MLK and have been trying to upload more music on here, I'm having terrible problems with files over 6megs, which most music with good kbps will be well over double that... I'll try to work it out [...]
Handsome Boy Modelling School is a now defunct project, formerly comprised of Dan the Automator and Prince Paul. The two are real hip-hop heavyweights, so when my brother gave me the album 'White People' a few years ago now I was pretty excited. Curiously I was greeted by a rather strange skit on the first track, and more followed on the album too. I'll admit, perhaps with some feelings of guilt, that the skits were the first thing I liked on this album. Between my friends and brother, for years, they have been the 'running joke'. Anyway, an [...]

This song is a song that I've been listening to pretty consistently since about junior year of high school. It's technically by Handsome Boy Modeling School , but Cat Power (above) provides the buttery vocals that make this track great. Everything about this song is smoky and relaxed; the drums and bass are woven together so well that you start to wonder if they'll ever be able to stop. If the song doesn't hit the spot the first time, keep it around. I bet there'll be a time when it does. It makes me miss the days [...]

I normally TIVO through television advertisements, but last night I happened to catch Cat Power's version of David Bowie's " Space Oddity " for some car commercial. It's Cat Power at her finest; though I'm ready for her to change directions from her depressing monotone covers. I wouldn't mind seeing her do an album with Danger Mouse. They recently worked together on Beck's song " Orphans ". Hopefully they discussed working with one another down the road. Her hippest song to date is 2004's " I've Been Thinking " from the Handsome Boy Modeling School's [...]
Qu'est ce que j'apprends il y a une semaine en regardant le grand journal sur Canal+ !! ils annonçaient un nouvel album d' Anaïs pour le mois de novembre, vous l'avez deviné ce n'est pas cela le plus palpitant dans la nouvelle même si j'aime bien Anaïs. La chroniqueuse rajouta par la suite que ce dernier sera produit par Dan The Automator qui est, n'ayons pas peur des mots, mon producteur préféré (ex-æquo bien sûr avec pas mal d'autres pour ne pas faire de jaloux).

"Woody Allen was an auteur: he did his thing, and that particular thing was completely his own. That's what I decided to do with music. I want to create a director's role within music... have to be in control of the project I'm doing. I can create different kinds of musical worlds, but the artist needs the desire to go into that world.... Musically, there is no one who has the career I want. That's why I have to use film directors as a model." - Danger Mouse, "The DJ Auteur" in the New York Times Magazine, June [...]
