I always thought I would never have the chance to talk about Limblifter on this blog, but a surprise in my inbox this morning has changed that completely. Through my teenage years, Limblifter was a band in constant rotation, and to this day remains an all-time favourite of mine, so much so that even the title of this blog is taken after a track off 20042s superb I/O . But this news goes back a little bit further than that: the band is seeing their self-titled debut - all the way from '96 - re-released on vinyl come this [...]

Half of this week's posts have been dedicated to non-Canadian artists, so I figure I ought to round out the week on this theme. Partly because, hey, why not? And partly because all I want to talk about right now is Bon Iver 's live session at AIR Studios. 4AD and Jagjaguwar came together to capture Justin Vernon away from his usual army of 11 musicians who normally flank him on stage, instead featuring Vernon and labelmate/fellow Wisconsinite S. Carey collaborating on stripped down, piano-only renditions of tracks from last year's Bon Iver [...]

I heard this first wayyyy back at the end of last Spring ( infact I name dropped it here ) but I never wondered why I didn't post it up. It's an interesting release from Bone Rock, with foundations very much in the purest of Hip Hop traditions (sampled loops and the touch of an MPC) with a kinda left field edge. STREAM/DOWNLOAD 'Ears' FROM BANDCAMP HERE Released on the Dropping Gems label which is very interesting in itself; they dropped a compilation not [...]

Very dope gem, found by the brothers at BamaLoveSou l. J Dilla & Phife...win win chemistry. Aw naw! As I was compiling gems for my A Tribe Called Quest tribute set tonight, I uncovered this 1999 Phife Dawg release. This jazzy Jay Dee produced gem appeared on a German release and was the B Side to Bend Ova, also produced by Jay Dee. Somehow, for whatever reason, this track didn't make it onto his album and now it's hard to find. Enjoy! - BamaLovesSoul [...]

Fridays 'round these parts typically see gobs of remixes. Today didn't seem right posting a "Friday Remixes," partly due to the fact that this entire weekend most people will be celebrating Christmas with family, friends and loved ones. I plan on doing the bulk of my shopping today and my procrastinating has taken me as far out as possible. No matter how hard I try to fight it every year, I fall into the same trap. Saturday will be full of football from morning till nighttime. I'm in the championship game of my fantasy league, so I'll be [...]
