Headnodic - Red Line Radio Brick Records: 2011 Think about your favorite hip-hop albums that feature one producer and many rappers. Maybe it's one of Automator's mix albums. Or more recently maybe it's something like BK-One's joint with his RSE posse, or the Jazz Liberatorz – Clin d'Oeil . Whatever album you have in mind, chances are one thing reigns true: there is some semblance of consistency and flow from the album's start to finish. These types of albums are incredibly difficult to pull off because quite often the producer in [...]

I initially slept on this. but that doesn't mean that you should! Lunar Heights frontman, Jern Eye has teamed up with producer Headnodic (Crown City Rockers/Mighty Underdogs) to deliver their brand new collaborative EP, Infinity Gems , a six-track project that finds the duo attempting to recapture an era in hip-hop when each song was so finely crafted it could be considered a jewel. Headnodic handles all of Infinity Gem 's production work and Jern lays down the vocals in addition to guest artists [...]

Kristobalt n'a que quelques mois. C'est un projet solo ouvert artistiquement évoluant dans un univers sombre, énergique, sale et sexy. Projet très influencé par l'électro, le hip-hop, principalement sans renier les autres styles qui l'ont influencé puisque il joue aussi dans un groupe de métal original déguisé, où il est à la guitare ( La fin de la société ). Il préfère faire un remix qui détourne complètement le morceau quitte à ce que l'on le reconnaisse à peine au final. Croustibat ne peut rivaliser face aux quelques remixes et prod' ci-dessous. [...]
Attention backpackers: Your prayers have been answered! Start selling even more incense than you normally would or put in a few more hours at the bookstore, because you'll wanna save your pennies for this. In an effort to promote his upcoming LP, Escape To Mars , indie hip-hop darling and Blackalicious MC Gift Of Gab is teaming up with fellow underground mainstays Chali 2Na , Lyrics Born , and Mr. Lif for the Deadliest Catch [...]
The ever-missed John Peel used to theorise that any record with birdsong on it would probably be automatically good. (The title track of Bridget St. John 's Ask Me No Questions , which Peelie produced and released on his Dandelion label, even takes a break at the end for an interval of church bells and hand-picked birdsong clips from the BBC Archives). i sort of feel the same about records with the sound of barking dogs on. i will pretty much always listen to a track that features a dog [...]
L'Europe a peur. La libération de Julien Coupable réveille de mauvais souvenirs. Cet homme avait été arrêté en 2008 par les forces de sécurité antiterroristes de l'époque, puis relâché. Il était à ce moment-là soupçonné d'avoir organisé le sabotage de lignes de TGV. Il avait ensuite été relâché faute de preuves, ce qui avait amené la ministre de l'Intérieur Michèle Jésus-Marie à devoir démissionner. Julien Coupable était alors devenu l'icône de la rébellion d'ultra-gauche, et on avait vu sa photo orner des tee-shirts, des pancartes, etc. durant les émeutes de septembre 2009. [...]

Then: I remember DJ Ack having me check out the B-side of a new single by some white freestyle kid from Detroit that was a new Dre project. I had barely heard of him, the single "My Name Is", but flip that record over… Pink : Eminem - I just don't give a fuck (don lowed) Now: American Music Awards, Movies, Billboard Awards, Sex with Mariah Carey, Grammy Awards, Teen Choice, MTV… all that mess!!! Never would have seen all that coming back in the day. After a long hiatus the [...]
If you buy one album today - buy this. The bonus edition was released yesterday in the UK and Europe. The standard edition had only previously been available in the US - a tragedy, really. Check out the three main collaborators on the album art opposite, then brace yourself for the list of collabs on the album. Actually, I'm only going to mention a few else we'd be here all day so MF Doom, DJ Shadow and Fatboy Slim all make an appearance. Ouch this is really smoking the shit out my soundsystem as I write [...]
A little bit of something for everyone...- Orange Juice had their biggest hit with Rip It Up. They had a totally unique style and sound - love the squelchy bass.- Burns is a young up and comer from the UK who has just remixed Empire Of The Sun as well as SIART faves Late of The Pier. Disko is his debut single.- The Mighy Underdogs are Lateef the Truth Speaker and Gift Of Gab alongside Headnodic
The most user friendly album album Def Jux ever put out? I'll say. Singalongability? Check. Rhyme-that'd-impress-yer-gra n? Check. Beats plundered from far and wide? Check. Top notch guests? Most def a check. 'Droppin' Science Fiction' is the debut album from Blackalicious's Gift of Gab, Quannum head Lateef and Crown City Rockers member, producer Headnodic – collectively known as The Mighty Underdogs. Despite eclectic sample origins the album hangs together sonically like a neck and noose. 'Ill Vacation' and 'Science Fiction', the most unlikely of bedfellows, sit cheek by jowl the latter being a Brazilian holiday breezer and [...]

The Mighty Underdogs are a hip-hop "supergroup" composed of Lateef The Truth Speaker, Gift of Gab (from Blackaliscious), and producer Headnodic. Their tour made a stop in Madison, WI last week on February 2; naturally, I was there to cover the event. The Might Underdogs' debut album, Droppin' Science Fiction , is a funky, fun, and relaxed album from start to finish. Many of the tracks have a chilled-out party vibe, and save plenty of room for Lateef and gift of Gab to kick some socially conscious lyrics. Their concert was pretty much [...]
Alright, here it is… For awhile I watched wrestling. There I said it. Feels good to get it out there (try to imagine a sigh right now). Sure, when I was a kid wrestling was just in its uprising stage, but it was pretty good. Randy "The Macho Man" Savage, Brett "The Hitman" Heart, Greg "The Hammer" Valentine, Jimmy "The Superfly" Snuka, Paul "Mr. Wonderful" Orndorff… I really could go on & on. Saturday morning cartoons, primetime Saturday nights, giant plastic action figures. I mean come on now, those where the days, (imagine another sigh if you want). I grew [...]
Oakland/San Fran Bay Area- Fisherman's Wharf, Ocean Beach, North Beach, Chinatown, Alcatraz Ishland, The de Young Art Museum, The Oakland Swap Meet, Haight & Ashbury Street, Cal Berkley and The Golden Gate Bridge. Record highs 65-70+ everyday, not a cloud in the sky. Green Bay, WI Lambeau Field, a record amount of snowfall in December, a bitter cold January. So fridge, that last Thursday and Friday school got canceled. Due to the fact that temps with the wind chill dropped so low that School District Officials deemed it un safe. That's COLD! The [...]
The Decemberists – Always The Bridesmaid | Insound Vinyl | from the band Vinyl and more | at indie record stores This album was released digitally as a complete EP. The band also delivered it on vinyl as three 12"s. In classic Decemberists style, these music ranges from the chamber folk of "Valerie Plame" to the stripped down acoustic splendor of "Raincoat Song," while the melodies gallivant from sing-songy to indelible.
