All things considered, when scanning the list there aren't really too many surprises, considering that this is the same awards show that had Jethro Tull beating out Metallica and Steely Dan beating out everyone a few years back. It wasn't out of line to figure Amy Winehouse to win a bunch of awards...and she did. Everyone knew Kanye West would lose the big one but still win a few...and he did. And everyone knows that when the voting committee thinks of rock, they still think of Bruce Springsteen. This year's award [...]
made my day rudy got his comeuppance in florida. never had much love for the man: i hated his bullying way when he was da mayor, and was deeply offended by all his 9/11 self-promotion and marketing. turning time square into a mall just isn't my idea of vision or leadership. the hubris and the profound ignorance that drove his florida-centric strategy are symptomatic of a delusional, pathological view of the world that fortunately for america, and the world, became roadkill on i-4 last night. public enemy [...]

All three of these tracks deserve their own write up, but I have ADD which means I have to do everything impulsively. So now you get.. Three different tracks and three different emotions to go along with them. The Public Enemy track is off their 2007 release and is one of those feel good tracks. Makes you want to go and do some shit right quick. Then you have Devin The Dude with Snoop and Andre talking about the rap game being hard work. The whole song sounds like an exhale and while it's [...]

"I don't think the future is only about the musicians of the now," Cobain replies. "The future is also inhabited by the past; it is about past messages coinciding with future technologies to bring profound truth. What you can't see is what we believe in.

Public Enemy - How You Sell Soul To A Soulless People Who Sold Their Soul Did you notice that this post wasn't tagged _outrage ? The reason is that the 10th album from PE, marking their 20th Anniversary, is a true return to form. The face (and voices) of PE return, but the Shocklee Brothers are absent. And I'm afraid to say that they aren't terribly missed. (Quite, Homey) ' Urbanscore ' takeover production duties. G Wiz and Amani [...]

Last night found me trying to think of something for today's OSM, and generally drawing a blank. I was also haphazardly jotting some notes down about Friday night's Feist show at the Cunard Centre for a show review (which I haven't done), when I remembered an interesting tidbit from the evening that set me on my way. After Chester's banjo maestro Old Man Luedecke had warmed up the crowd with a nice set of songs, we were waiting patiently as the stage was prepped for Feist. Whilst that was going on, the usual pre-show generic rock was playing, and as [...]

I think there's a general consensus about town that Kanye West's latest album, Graduation , is consistent with the high calibre of his previous two efforts. Although, (in my humble opinion of course) it sags a little in the middle, I am in agreement with the prevailing reaction. But look, we all know that Kanye's work relies heavily on samples (not that I'm complaining like) , so here's a comprehensive breakdown of tracks that make up this great record. MP3: Elton John - Someone Saved My Life Tonight [...]
YouTube: Brother Theodore Gottlieb Rages On - Brother Theodore's biography Remember the rage you felt when that guy that cut you off in the car? How about that time you waited sick in the doctor's office for hours after your scheduled appointment or when you were stood-up for that highly anticipated hot date? Anger is the rawest of emotions, but when channeled correctly, it can get things done. For example, I once had an architecture teacher that would ask to see my renderings, give it a quick look, then tear it [...]

on the heels of dave's post about the limited edition jay-z blue magic pack, i thought i'd thow up the sample track used in the featured song, "roc boys"...it's called "make the road by walking" by menahan street band , a collaborative effort from members of the dap-kings, el michels affair & the budos band...excactly...also, in keeping with the american gangster theme, i'm posting the track that rolled with the film's closing credits...great movie by the way; crazy story, good music, solid performances & a ton of recognizable faces to make it even more interesting [...]
This past week in one of our extremely intellectual conversations, the Ack dropped a Radio Raheem reference. If you don't know who Radio Raheem is without consulting Dr. Google, you need to do me a favour, close out this browser and go rent Do The Right Thing . Seriously, although Spike Lee can be a bit of wang at times, this movie is fantastic. It was, is, and will forever be one of my favorite movies, and Radio Raheem is one of the movie's main characters. So, today's jams are my two favorite songs associated with the movie. [...]

Tueurs instrumentaux, guitares de terreur avec 808, merde inconditionnelle. Les rues hurlent "BOO-YAA !". Nous écoutons le battement et [...]

. Tarantino is the first white filmmaker to forge a career based on disreputable, underclass taste - the movie culture that black urban youth were raised on and affectionately viewed as their own. Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill owe their inspiration to '70s blaxploitation movies - a Hollywood trend that catered to the domestic fragmentation that occurred in America after '60s political dissent, responding specifically to the social conflagrations of riots and rebellions that shifted the tax base and demographic make up of most U.S. cities. (Abandoned urban movie houses were blighted, left to feature the kind [...]

NY critic, musician Tonight I went to a roundtable discussion involving John Rockwell, former New York Times music critic; Alex Ross , current New Yorker classical music critic; and Linda Ronstadt, who needs no introduction. The mean age of the audience was at least 40. It was like "Inside the Actors Studio," but for music, and marginally less patronizing. All three commentators were enlightening, but I went to see Ross. Recently, he's become my main writing influence. [...]
"Those are weirdo dogs. Only a weirdo would like a dog like that." -- Tom on Spike's preference for hut dogs "Let me get this straight, you saw Patton Oswald, and it was good?" -- Tom, wrapping his head around Ryan in Miami's first live comedy experience "Wait a minute. There's somebody playing tambourine in a Christian rock group?" -- Tom on Bonnie's suprising role in On Purpose "Some people might think the entire movie's a blooper reel." -- Tom on The Cannonball Run material that precedes [...]
