A couple more singles from the charity shop rummage - America's Thievery Corporation and France's Etienne de Crecy. First up, Amercia's finest downtempo artists Thievery Corproation with a mix of their classic single "Lebanese Blonde". Rob Garza and Eric Hilton met at Eighteenth Street Lounge in May 1995. They were introduced by a mutual friend and proceeded to discuss their admiration for the work of Antonio Carlos Jobim and the 60's bossa sound. Weeks later, in a home studio, they began to work on the music that would launch Thievery Corporation. After several early 12" [...]
And the sun is beyond set, far below the horizon; but the lights are just hitting peak illumination. The second wind arrives in full force as the city comes alive. The sixtieth minute of bliss fades further into memory, time and space lose meaning. After happy hour ends the clock stops running and past nor future hold stock against the eternal present. Social lubrication eases the lingering loungers' focus from bar to dj booth, they dance as if no one is watching. No drink ever seems like its the last until you're halfway between the dancefloor and a friendly stranger's [...]
In a district that sleeps alone, save for your few back-pocket lobbyists sharing space under the covers, post-work social events are networking for some, but that seldom found chance to breathe for others . In a city bursting at its seams with political rhetoric, hot air, and founded upon agendas far deeper than hidden, it is not every night that one is able to find an hour away from "D.C." much less one which could be remotely defined as "happy." What a joy then to stumble across a lounge whose happy hour not only raises ones spirits, but soothes the [...]

i after e, except after c. Nothing new here in terms of recent releases, but I wanted to give you a couple of tracks that are truly just amazing. "Meu Destino" and "Until the Morning" both illustrate why Thievery Corporation are unparallel in the electronic/lounge realm. Listen to " Meu Destino " Listen to " Until the Morning "

Patrick Kelleher Genre: Pop From: Dublin, Ireland What I love most about writing this blog is the new music that I get introduced to, music that would otherwise pass me by. Music like that of Patrick Kelleher, who's so unknown that his myspace site has only had 1,429 profile views since it was set up in September 2007, he has less than [...]
So it's that day again....why not slowly make your way over to some great events around town. The National Mall in DC has some sweet performers for the Green Apple Festival including Talib Kweli, The Roots, and Thievery Corporation. OR maybe you would like to be indoors fo Greenland and Pranir at the Black Cat in DC or Mystery Palace, Grandchildren and DJ Heavy Flow at the Millcreek Tavern in Philly. mp3: Greenland - We Are Clipper Ships --> website --> buy mp3: Prabir & The Substitutes - [...]
A special stationary treat for you kids today, a guest post by good highlighter chum and chief hip hop head Jordy O, the Good Vibrations 2008 review, without further ado.... Good Vibrations 2008 started with a new venue and a fresh outfit. There was a good chance to check out a lot more festival get ups during the long walk from the entry point to the festival grounds. The hip hop heavy lineup was well represented in costume, especially from the lads. Amongst the girls, being hot was [...]
Because... My country's parliament was dissolved, signaling the beginning of a refreshingly brief election process that will end on 8th March. What's that you say, just a few weeks of nominating and campaigning? Hmm let's see... the alternative might be being subject to nine months of of piss-ugly placards, bitchy slanging ads and trite slogans. Nah. I like my democracy with hot water. Just nice. Massive Attack - Dissolved Girl (from Mezzanine ) Massive Attack would like to apologise for turning your wet dream into a dry hump. Emphasis [...]
"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.

. The "content" or meaning of the high-tech aesthetic had been a progressive ideal, optimistically conveying a future made better because of technology.

This one's a smidge on the twee side, but might be just the thing to get your juices flowing this Veteran's Day. There's some songs about drugs, some songs about celebrities, at least one song (track 16) by a band that I can't find any information about whatsoever, and, at about the halfway mark, a former president talking. Try not to let your client get distracted at that particular moment. (more...)
Aw snap, Missingtoof is off to Vegoose . You're coming too, right? You should! Remember how your boo always says y'all should go on spontaneous trips? Now's your chance, young lovers! Halloween-desert-Vegas-PLUR-fe st! This weekend brings the third yearly installment of Vegoose. The epic lineup includes Daft Punk , Rage Against the Machine , Iggy & The Stooges , M.I.A. , UNKLE , Thievery Corporation , Public Enemy , Cypress Hill , Ghostface Killah , Pharoahe Monch , Muse , The Shins and a grip [...]
Vegoose is kicking off this weekend but I'm not going. That is unless someone wants to buy me a ticket. And airfare and a hotel room, preferably the Venetian with a nice view, throw me some gambling money and cash for booze and so on. Don't really have the dough right now to fork out for that, and because I don't see any spontaneous acts of charity coming my way in the next 48 hours, all I can do is theorize what I would do if I was going. I looked up the lineup and boiled it all [...]
Scott Towler is a terminator like Arnold Schwarzenegger. Though you can't play him out as if his name was Sega. Call it what you want, Interlude, Intermezzo, Entr'acte, but they all mean the same thing. Sort of. Looking back at history and trying to decide when music became a part of stage (and in later years screen) is a difficult thing to trace. For one, we don't really honor history as much as we should with regard to the [...]
