I downloaded this Mos Def track last month , and it is finally cycling up into my ipod listening. I have been enjoying it and figured I would share. Dig it. Downloadable: "Quiet Dog" (box.net mp3) And yes, if you are white you should already like Mos Def. This fact is well documented... here . Downtown Recordings is here . Amazon MP3 page is here . eMusic page is here . Excuse Me, This is the Yah Mos Def by [...]
As I was looking the new releases for this week, a thought happened to cross my mind: Are people more inclined to actually buying music if there isn't an overabundance of albums to choose from week after week?

The YMD (formerly known as Yah Mos Def ) are gonna release Excuse Me, This Is Yah Mos Def early next year. Now, this MAY be changed to Excuse Me, This Is The YMD , but I'm just guessing. Listen: "New Direction" (box.net mp3) Hey, anyone sampling Bikini Kill and Minor Threat have got my vote, and with a song title like "Jive Like Jehu," one can only hope for a feedbacky sampling of Drive Like Jehu .
