שבת שבוגי, ביטשז! והשבוע במוסף: נפרדים ממאותגרי הסולסיק, מבטלים את הדי-אר-אם, כותבים תסריט ביחד, ומורידים שירים חדשים של ברט אנדרסון, בלוק פארטי, סמוג, צופים בסרטים קצרים, קוראים ווב-קומיקס. אה, והולכים להופעה של שון לנון!
Next month sees the return of RJD2 with his first album for XL, The Third Hand, out on March 5. It marks a shift towards a poppier, commercial sound, yet still has enough of the quirkier beats that have made him one of hip-hop's most slept on producers. While 'Beyond The Beyond' features his trademark synth sounds, 'You Never Had It So Good' is a full-blown verse and chorus affair that while a

A year after laying the groundwork as DJ/producer for albums by Aceyalone ( Magnificent City ) and Soul Position ( Things Go Better with RJ and Al ), RJD2 get a little me-time in on his upcoming solo LP The Third Hand , his first release for XL Recordings (due out March 5). I've yet to hear the record in full (it's illegal and stuff to download albums prior to their release dates, you know), but it's been told through this here series of tubes that RJ sings on this album.

I previously have never seen this ad, possibly cause I was only 1 at the time. This is the 1984 Apple Macintosh commercial that was first shown during the SuperBowl. I watche it today at our training day for reps...which was super informational and I actually enjoyed it. There was a DE from Seattle named Kurt, whoop for the Northwest. Does the narrarators voice in this commercial sound very familiar? "For everything else theres Mastercard"...I think it's that guy. [...]

Nas claimed Hip Hop is Dead with the release of his latest album last year and it sounds like RJD2 agrees. He told Pitchfork back in September " I've gone rap free in 2006 " and he's making good on this promise with the release of his third album The Third Hand on March 5th. Once signed to esteemed independent hip hop label Def Jux, he is now with XL recordings and is about to release his poppiest album yet. It may horrify you, you may be repulsed [...]

One of the things you need to understand is that I don't "get" a lot of hip hop. That is to say, it's not traditionally my thing. But when I do happen to find some hip hop that I particularly enjoy (it happens more than I might let on), the album sticks with me for awhile. Back in 2004 I sorta fell in love with RJD2's album "You Never Had It So Good." Maybe it was the title, or maybe it was the unbelievably addictive beats, but "a revelation" is the way I choose to describe it. But [...]

I must admit, I`ve been on a little bit of a rampage with new music lately...I feel as though I have listened to about 20 new albums in the last 2 weeks...2006 was such a great year of music, and I have high hopes that 2007 will be strong as well. Yet I feel a little discouraged..Don`t get me wrong there are a lot of good albums that are coming out or have already been released this year that I enjoy. But deep down..I still havn`t found that " Golden Jem ", an album that is totally awesome from track [...]

Robar música, como les gusta llamarlo a las grandes disqueras, se ha convertido en algo totalmente banal. Basta encender una computadora, conectarse a Internet, dar un par de clicks y voilà. No sé, siento que esto lo quita mucho glamour al hecho. Para regresar actos criminales más tradicionales, aquí un par de ejemplos que glorifican nuestro amor a la música, al grado de estar dispuestos a hacer lo que sea por ella. "Bless me Father, [...]

It's been a while since I made a mixtape (about a year and a half) but this one's been in planning mode since last summer. But it's finally finished and up for your delectation. We've got ambient electronica, electro Remixes, hip hop, dubstep (including a dubstep version of Justin Timberlake's "My Love") and more. 16 songs, just over an hour - all ready to be burned on to a CD or your iPod. Thanks to Niall O Leary for passing on the Geoim track and Co for the production tips. Enjoy and let me know what you guyses [...]
Ghostwriter RJD2 Dead Ringer Definitive Jux : 2002 [ Listen ] [ Buy ] A ct II: In which the soul is laid bare. Talent and luck unmanned will take you pretty far in life ("... almost to the top!"), but nothing truly great is ever accomplished without a little planning. The viewer at home will undoubtedly recognize the contrasts evident in one of JT's end-of-the-year lists, and the 11th-hour job of yours truly. Groundwork for the former was laid weeks in advance; the [...]
RJD2, the hip-hop-inspired instrumentalist, has told Billboard that he'll be expanding his scope on his upcoming album, The Third Hand , due March 6 on XL Records. From the interview, it sounds like RJ's maturing in manners both positive and potentially cringe-inducing. On the plus side? "This record is all live, except the drums," he explains. "I wrote, played and engineered the whole thing, and it was a ton of work. I had to learn how to engineer things and mic things" as well as "finding what to buy, and how [...]

Due to the success of the Blue Walrus Christmas Mix (aka Blue Christmas), I've decided to start was is hopefully going to a fortnightly occassion of a new series of mixes named delightfully "Snazzy as Fuck" due to a resurgence of that phrase recently. As per the other mix, each song will be available individually [...]
Ramble John's back, and on next year's The Third Hand, the man behind Stereogum's favorite album in '04 is kicking the samples to the curb and going the self-recorded, live instrumentation route. But that's not the only switch for RJ;...
