Brooklyn-based Astro Nautico graced us this week with an EP from label co-founder Paul Jones titled Broken Arrow . Jones wastes no time getting way out there, as opening track "Bad Haircut" is a stuttering, lurching Nintendo-crunk affair, pairing 8-bit influenced synths with heavy handclaps and thick, meaty bass taking the listener for a dark, dangerous hike through dark, foggy future-beats territory right out of the gate. "Broken Arrow" and "Y" keep things on the dark and strange tip, with menacing subs and twisted, broken footwork rhythms. Then, "Supermax" de-constructs and re-constructs a track by the late [...]

Do we British sound too posh for the Blues?
Former Manfred Mann vocalist resurfaces as a bluesman If you lost track of Paul Jones after he sang Manfred Mann's seminal British Invasion hits ("Do Wah Diddy," "Pretty Flamingo," "Sha La La"), or if you failed to reconnect with his lengthy tenure in the UK-based Blues Band, you're in for a surprise. The husky R&B voice he brought to Mann's early works has weathered lightly, and nineteen albums into his side gig as a bluesman (his main occupations have been actor and radio host) he's returning to U.S. shores on reissue giant Collectors' Choice's [...]

Today Wayne Sutton and Ginny Skalski from MyNC.com and 30threads.com stopped by to talk about their websites and how citizen journalism works. The talk was streamed live on 30threads.com [...]

After a month long sojourn in rural New Jersey (holla, Freehold!), I'm back to the old blogamawhosits world, and frankly I'm feeling a little left behind. That internet moves fast, I tell ya, and you have to be on top of the latest meme or you'll seem, you know, UNcool. So I spent the whole day today catching up on blogs, news, sudden underground phenomenons, and sarcastic nasty commentaries - and finally I discovered what I've really been missing. THIS: Speaking of minds renewed, how [...]
