I haven't been able to put both ears inside my headphones for weeks, and right now I can actually feel the sounds pouring out of them into my chest filling it up. I feel bad for people with shitty headphones, that's like thunder without rumble, waffles without syrup, titties without nipples. Not feeling shit. Which reminds me of another song I've been meaning to post. So this week has been all teeth, and next week I'm getting out, going out, getting after it. Savoring the taste. As your friend, and attorney, I'm advising you to place your headphones on full [...]
loden - "offusive behavior" (download) 2011 is shaping up to be a good year for Circle Into Square Records . With the recently released Memory Man record from Big Spider's Back getting lots of praise, and now Loden 's Burning Man Stage Hand (out 7/26), Circle Into Square is proving itself as a label you need to be paying attention to. Loden has produced songs for Busdriver and K-the-i??? and I'm sure he'll be even [...]
Warren Britt (not pictured) contributed to Willie Green and Nasa/Adam Warlock's Law and Order mixtape with "Pardon Me". Warren Britt - Pardon Me On Dec. 8th, the battle for New York's hip-hop underground begins. Law & Order pits Willie Green (Super Chron Flight Brothers, Reks, Cannibal Ox) against Nasa a.k.a. Adam Warlock (owner - Uncommon Records) in a clash between two of indie-rap's best producers. Tracklist x Download after the jump [...]
K-the-I??? featuring NoCanDo "Trading Places" One of the more fascinating things about this song is the way K-the-I??? and NoCanDo are both venting frustrations and speaking their mind, but in a way that seems like they're holding back slightly, not out of weakness, but out of tact. It's not passive aggression, but rather words carefully designed to hit precise targets, and call into question "frenemies" who have given them reason to feel suspicious, bitter, or confused. The track feels tightly wound from the start, but by the time the sample loop kicks in, there's a distinct [...]
Whittling down this week's tracks to just ten was almost agonising. So much so, that I may be forced to do a mid-week post featuring another ten (I haven't decided yet). For the time being, here are the best ten (Oh yeah, by the way... Barack Obama!!): As a ravenous meat eater it's a little perverse that I love Beatnik Filmstars' 'Animal Crackers' , with it's declarations of "All you animal farmers are going straight to hell". It sounds like a lovely little Indie song on the surface but the lyrics are [...]
You know I'm all about that willfully obscure, fucking bizarre crazy shit. K-The-I??? is basically Saul Williams if Saul Williams could actually flow and didn't take himself so goddamn seriously. K's beats are insane. The rhyming is flowing on some stream-of-collective-unconscio usness tip, and often totally off the beat in ways that makes the songs ride the line between beautiful noise and that's-just-irritating-cacapho ny. He raps like someone just hit him in the head with a brick. You have to learn how to listen to it. It was the same with early P.E.-the first time I [...]
