This Mixtape Monday i'm going on the self indulgent tip and posting a mix i just finished myself. Today's Mix is a follow up to a last years Sucker For Love Volume 1 . After a year of procrastinating and thinking about tunes that would make sense, it's finally done an hour and 20 mins of Love related jams covering everything from Hip Hop, Soul and Funk to New Jack, Garage and Disco and everything in between. I've also thrown in a few freeloads from the mix because you know i'm nice like that. Much Love to all the [...]
Auggie The 9th links up with Cadillac Duke for "New Edition", a pretty dope new record produced by Chicago's own Na$im Williams. Auggie slides into historical delusions of grandeur on this one, but we'll let it slide over Williams' hi-hats and next to Duke's attack on swagger jackers. Check it out the new release below.

It's summer time! Officially. Finally. And that means it's time to see some outdoor shows, some bands from your youth, and maybe even see one of the worst concept tours I can possibly imagine. Thursday, June 21 Van Hunt with Ren the Vinyl Archaeologist at The Independent You never know what you're going to hear [...]
Growing up, you have to do things that you don't want to do. Your parents usually tell you that it "builds character" (gotta love those arbitrary, don't question my authority excuses). What you don't know at the time is that anything and everything you do will later serve you in life. If you are a dude who was forced to play piano, you'll later use that skill to impress a ditzy chick and give her a three-finger arpeggio ifyaknowwhatimean. I'm here today to give you young'ns some insight, some... homework if you will. Learn the lyrics to pop songs, specifically [...]
Having been in a mutually-beneficial relationship for longer than most folks' marriages last, I've definitely done my fair share of simping. However, while flowers and chocolates are easy-ins for most [...]
![BJ The Chicago Kid - Pineapple Now-Laters [Album Review]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4130290_lg.jpg)
BJ The Chicago Kid : Listen . Twitter. iTunes. I purposefully took extra time to synthesize and produce the write up for this album. I wanted to ensure that that the caliber of work that your about to read only did the album as much justice as possible before you, my good people reading this, would listen to this incredible album for yourself. Funny thing about this album was it's timing; I remember standing outside the KPFK radio station after our "Love Chords" broadcast talking with [...]
Still good. BBD was helping out ABC, which made the production quality of their music way better. This song hit #1 on the " Hot Dance Club Songs ," when it was released in 1990.
We love New Edition , so when we heard that Brenmar would release his remix of their song "A Little Bit of Love" when he reached 4000 followers, we patiently waited for it's release. A few days ago he did just that and we now have this funky club tune with an R&B twist to share with you. New Edition might be the best thing Bobby Brown has ever done (and that's including Whitney Houston).

Messing around with the R&B pantheon, Brenmar has remixed New Edition’s 1985 jam "A Little Bit of Love." He stripped the beat down to a series of snaps and minimal thumps, then chopped up the ... read more

I bought this red leather jacket recently. Totally unwearable. Thought it was the best thing ever, but I haven't worn it once. It will just make me look like the Indian Michael Jackson. Not something that I think the girls of Sydney are ready for. MP3: Gravediggaz - Diary of a Madman MP3: Run DMC - Ghostbusters | Buy MP3: [...]

Johnny Gill claimed a record producer had leaked one of his new songs onto the internet. (He used to be in New Edition, but that's not important right now. Of course it's not important, it's 2011.) She has responded by suing him for defamation. Nut Gill reckons he's got the perfect defence - yeah, he said it, but it was on Twitter, so it doesn't count . He explained this to TMZ: Gill told our photog he thinks people should say what they want on Twitter, because otherwise "the courtrooms would be filled [...]
We Talk Musical Influences and Favorites with White Life As hopeless music lovers, musical etymology is always fascinating to us. Learning what made a certain work what it is always gives us a richer understanding and appreciation of someone's craft. The Wake - Pale Spectrer "Punk goes pop. It's fun and guilt slowly dissipates.
