CONSUMERISM! WOOOOO! To be honest it's nice to get gifts. So to make your life easier, here is a portion of the list I sent to Santa. I wanted to ask him for the new Portishead album but even some things are out of Mr. Claus' control. So in no particular order (but feel free to chip in to get me the last item ;-) ). Also, as a little gift is a new Outkast tune, Da Art of Storytellin' (Part 4). [...]

kompakt's pop ambient 2008 The warm and fuzzy new Pop Ambient compilation from Kompakt has been in constant rotation around here as of late, and if it ever decides to get cold here in TX, I can foresee it turning into a staple for late-night listening this winter. The whole thing is outstanding, with great new tracks coming from The Field , Thomas Felhmann , and others, but this stunning atmospheric gem from Klimek is my favorite at the moment. Immediately [...]

Look out, it's the rap post. You knew this day was coming -- and if you're not interested in downloading today's tracks because of an extreme aversion to rap music, profanity, or what-else-have-you, then I promise you can return on Monday to music that includes singing and so forth and is generally good. But for today, we're finally going to take a bit of a look (through my eyes at least) at rap. I've never really been a fan. I think I was in 2nd grade when MC Hammer was having huge hits with [...]

Scott Towler has returned from licking his wounds over ABC's refusal to grant him an interview regarding their "Go Green" c ampaign. He is now reasonably convinced that licking one's own wounds is rather pointless and slightly weird. America loves rappers turned actors. It makes sense in theory. Good rappers are usually born performers and by nature exude a confidence and swagger that would translate well to the screen. Besides, most rappers are liars anyhow (or did you think that every [...]
If I haven't stated this point clearly, let me be explicit: Pop culture is not about rules. Pop spits in the face of rules. It breaks classical standards of art, it violates societal standards. It's rude, it steals, it thumbs its nose at you. But if it works it works. If you like it, that's all that matters. For example, some people think sampling is a cheap trick. They might suggest that a producer who builds a track on other artists' samples, especially if they haven't been compensated for this borrowing, [...]
COOL SHIT ALERT! Saturday night at Philabuster's home court (ie: Medusa Lounge), the dudes from Bleached Black are presenting what projects to be one of the best nights of your entire year. Yes, the $3 PBR and shot specials will get you pissy. Yes, the Mongorock will get you shake-shakin' it. And yes, the staff/ownership of Medusa is hands-down the sexiest bunch of cocktailers in the tri-state area. On top of all that, you get the live US debut performance of Japanese hush-tronica outfit Colette Columbirch (pic'd). The 'Stamps home office has been resonating pretty [...]

Yesterday it was Ocean's Thirteen , today it's a soundtrack of an entirely different sort. Many of you might know Andre 3000 as half of the group OutKast .

Now in its second season, Class of 3000 includes Andre 3000 playing the role of Sunny Bridges, a music teacher at the fictional Westley School for the Performing Arts.
