We're not going to write about that Kanye's-mullet-is-was-(can u believe at one time it was??)-hot-on-the-blogosphere bullshit right now. No way, Joesy. We're only mentioning it for the google hits. Yes, we can. You may or may not know about Santi White, better known as Santogold, as a part of the band Stiffed. In any case, on their pretty-much Punk Rock album entitled "Burned Again" are some really dope songs. The title track is crazy nice, but my favorite song is "Straight Jackers." Santi's lyrics are off the meteorology and the beat is tougher than leather. This music probably [...]

Santogold 's very charismatic frontlady (Santi White) is the [...]

Before Santi White turned Santogold she was in a makeshift punk-ish band called Stiffed , which had a pretty fair album, like cooler, old-school No Doubt business. If the band had some tenacity, they may have been able to resurrect the now-outdated sound of indie pop/punk/reggae from the 90's, but they ultimately disbanded for some reasons, which can't be limited to White hanging out with MIA and getting all alternative on everybody. When I played "Creator" on the radio last year people thought the CD player was broken, but it's that noise and rythm mixed with sensual [...]
The first time I heard Santi’s voice I was a fan and scooped up their sample EP Burned Again and their proper LP Burned Again for good measure. I caught up with her while her new band was recording their new EP and we talked about her recording with Darryl Jennifer of Bad Brains, stumbling into becoming a rock star, and convinced me that maybe I should get my kids a Quaker education.
