Gunwings by Sapient Gunwings is a revisit of Sapient's 2010 album Barrels For Feathers. Each song is re-shaped to still resemble the original, yet reveals a new dimension.
Chicharones - Por Que? (Pork Eh?) by Camobear Records The Chicharones have wrapped up recording their upcoming album "Swine Flew" and to celebrate the fruits of their labors they decided to create and release the brand new absolutely free mixtape "Por Que (Pork, Eh?)". This time around Josh & Sleep were on tour with nothing but stolen mixtapes and work out jams to write to. A mash-up of classic and mainstream instrumentals, all re-imagined and re-written with the original Chicharones flavor.

Here's a look at the things I couldn't deal with during this crazy-busy week: Mick Harvey, Sketches from the Book Of The Dead This is the new solo album from the multi-instrumentalist and original Bad Seed. Harvey may not have the vocal presence of his pal Nick Cave, but the morbid songs, expert arrangements, and overall moodiness demonstrate why Harvey was the go-to guy in that group. Those
Sometimes, the best songs are not the newest songs. We all have at least one old song that we throw on constantly, even though it's outdated. Often times, some of these songs are even songs that never went mainstream, but should have. Well, we have thousands of these songs, that's why we do Throwback Thursdays. Once a week, we will bring you a glorious track that we just can't shake off. Whether it be a year, five years, or ten years old, we'll show you one dated song that will tickle your fancy. Do you have a dope [...]
[Audio clip: view full post to listen] Download: Daft Punk - Tron Legacy (End Titles) (Sander Kleinenberg Remix) I had eight hours to think about what I would tell you all today. It was my first warm day of the entire trip - 80 degrees at that! There was a rush of gratitude for the good weather balancing out the blizzards. I made it into Sacramento today - and it was a joyous return. Interestingly, the way from Folsom to Sacramento followed some of the same roads I took back in [...]
![Daily 2% – Chilled and Ready to Serve [Josh Martinez]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3306158_lg.jpg)
This is your Daily 2% – Chilled and Ready to Serve . We will try to bring you one "chill" track every day. This is for when you get home and you are trying to unwind.

We are just your milkmen and I'm here to make a delivery. Chill….. Today's delivery is brought to you by Josh Martinez [...]
Was looking for a good video of "The Opposite of Fair" and came across this. Enjoy.
Listening to the 2010 Canadian Rap Compilation from Brockway Entertainment I realized something: during the last couple months of '09 I somehow stockpiled a ton of Canadian hip hop in my "ToDo" list that I really need to get posted. Some of which happens to be on this here compilation. So, you can consider this post an intro to a month that shall be filled with a ton of Canadian hip hop from your truly. Whether you want it or not. However, back to the matter at hand. I believe this is the 3rd year [...]
All right, the Ack is off gallivanting around Montreal with all the fancy music biz swells at M For Montreal , and yes, that leaves me back in Halifax minding the cyber store. And it also happens to be Thursday, so that means one thing: videos. We've had a couple of jam-packed editions of Video Hits over the last couple of weeks, and I wanted to keep that going, but I'd also been hyped on Canadian hip hop after spending the last week with Ghettosocks new album on repeat . So, guess what you're getting [...]
After 5 years, the long awaited new album "Egadz is Dead" from EGADZ! is dropping September 15th. After establishing an amazing worldwide following to his first albums "Monotony" and "Shining Hours", EGADZ! proves why he is one of the most skilled and eclectic artists in the Electronic genre. Featuring his signature style of melodic, half acoustic, psychedelic electronica, EGADZ! creates another timeless album pushing the boundaries of the electronic hip hop beat and takes music where no one has ever taken it. "Egadz is Dead" is the final album from [...]
I'm not sure how things are where you hang your fashionable chapeau , but out here we earn every ounce of warm spring sunshine we get. I don't mean to be over-dramatic about it, because there are obviously places waaay worse off, but we have to endure some long, wet months in between our sunshine seasons. That said, once things do turn warm, which, thankfully, happens to be right about now, my musical yearnings are for sounds that are similarly bright and somewhat peppy. If you're the same, and you're not averse to some Canuckian hip [...]
So yesterday I'm in a local pizza place enjoying a slice of healthy lunch when mid-slice some lady comes in and asks the tiny, mustachioed gentleman at the counter if the guy who was working last night is in - she explains that she was "very drunk" last night and that she swore at the dude. She has come in to apologize to him. She then explains to tiny 'stache that she is "not like that at all", even though he barely speaks english and likely has zero idea what she is talking about. What does [...]
Wednesday, March 11, 2009 The international music, film, and interactive festival South by Southwest begins this weekend, but the music part invades nearly every venue in the city exactly one week from today. SXSW has long been known as an breakout opportunity for indie rock bands who want to get signed, noticed, or famous, but hasn't really been used to showcase hip hop acts until a few years ago. The genre has gradually gained in representation in the past few years, and the line up this year is an amazing one. [...]
My two favorite artists of early 2009 - Josh Martinez and Classified - just dropped their visual to the second single off Josh's ultra-magnetic album The World Famous Sex Buffet . Featuring Skratch Bastid along for the ride, "Going Back To Hali" is a potent ode to their home town of Halifax, Nova Scotia, which is somewhere in Canada where they probably smoke reeeally good. Either way, it's nice to see artists lighten up and actually have fun in their music videos. I shouldn't expect anything less [...]
Josh Martinez is someone I should have spoken on a while ago. Unlike a good majority of artists I learn about through blogs and word of mouth, this Portland-based musician was someone I had never heard mentioned. Ever. So, when I found him listed among the top Hip-Hop acts on the underrated M3Radio station, I was baffled upon further investigation. Aside from having a unique and diversified soundscape completely his own, a melodic combination of humor, sincerity and killer wit, his accolades make you ask, "Who the fuck is this guy, and why I haven't [...]
So, hello. Haven't seen you in awhile, and my host deleted my account once again...most likely due to inactivity...again. But I'm gonna change that. Yes, I can change. And just FYI: I don't do themes. Well, enough of the banter, here is today's playlist. First offz, I have a little Minus the Bear for you. This is the first track off their digital/tour-only acoustic EP, aptly titled "
Despite my affection for the most degenerate misogynistic hip-hop imaginable, I'm a serious fan of that Pigeon John and K-OS brand of rap music . In other words: shit that gets experimental but that maintains at least some sort of rhythm and composition. Eclectic Canadian Josh Martinez fits comfortably in this category. He's technically a rapper, but if broken down by increments his World Famous Sex Buffet likely has as much crooning as it does full-fledged rhymes. Furthermore, one can never be sure when he's [...]
