Looking for something sufficiently dark to play as you prepare yourself for Halloween? If so, look no further than It's Not How Far You Fall, It's The Way You Land , the second album by UK group Soulsavers . The album took Rich Machin and Ian Glover, the nucleus of Soulsavers, and Mark Lanegan (who's worked with Screaming Trees , Queens Of The Stone Age and Isabel Campbell ) three years to produce. In that time, the trio produced ten tracks that are part rock and roll, part electronica, and part [...]

Here's a statement from from the trip-hop/electro king, himself: "Brown Punk represents a positive movement where you find intellectuals mixing with the working class, rock mixing with reggae and indie mixing with emo." Learn more about Brown Punk here at the label's official site. Some artists Tricky has already lined up include The Dirty, The Gospel, First Blood, Engine, Face & Laid Blak. I have high hopes for this one. What about you? MP3: Tricky - Anti Histamine (feat. PJ Harvey)
All electronic music today. Artists on this post start out "high-brow" and get progressively stupider. Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking stupid music, but I don't think anyone is every going to call Tricky "silly dance music." Inversely speaking, no one is every going to claim that Apollo 440's 'Stop The Rock' was a deep and meaningful song.

I knew it was a serious situation when Hype Machine and elbo.ws had no Chill Rob G tracks! Get this man some props already! Chill Rob G 's career began in his home Jersey City, New Jersey when met the established Mark The 45 King and the pair began recording. The material they produced received radio love from DJ Red Alert which peaked interest at the (ill-fated) Wild Pitch Records label. Chill Rob G was quickly signed the first 123 single, 'Dope Rhymes' (b/w 'Chillin") was released: [...]
"i use to believe for years that there were cameras surrounding me. that my life felt like a movie -- in the ways life could change, all those different people, tragedies, traumas, beautiful experiences were things to learn from and that the ten thousand feelings that could take over only ever meant one thing.. it wasn't a movie, it was real. there was always just a good soundtrack" [...]

Bristol-Hop For many people the nearest they ever get to Bristol is hurtling past on the M4 or M5. I, however, regard Bristol with rather more fondness. For a start I lived in Gloucestershire for a few years and Bristol was a short drive down the motorway. Apart from Gloucester Guildhall Arts Centre (and at a pinch the Leisure Centre) Bristol was the best place to go and [...]
I tried to throw together some songs with either "glory" or "hour" in the title (with a little Jem thrown in for good measure). Martine Sexton ~ Glory Bound (one of my all-time favs) Serena Ryder ~ Stay for an Hour (nice pipes) Branches ~ Sixteen Hours to Georgia (alt-country-rock-ish) Public Enemy ~ Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos (a classic) Tricky ~ Black Steel (cover of above) Jem ~ 24 (cinematic) Julius [...]
i got into trip hop a few years ago by accident. i'm sure if it hadn't happened this way i would have discovered it eventually. i think we were in dr. freud's in manitowoc. b's birthday was coming up so i just grabbed a couple of new releases that looked cool, album art, liner notes, aura. one was lamb's first cd and one was maxinquaye by tricky. the present didn't go over that well. they remained unplayed for quite a while until i adopted them for myself. however, several years and several [...]
Dear friends, Before she became the electro Lady T-Rex we all know and love, cooing " Ooh la la " in the soundtracks of car commercials, Alison Goldfrapp had a distinctly cool, Alpine vibe. I want to steal Alison Goldfrapp's sweet, sweet blouse Song to seek: Pumpkin (feat. Alison Goldfrapp) /Tricky (mp3) Alison Goldfrapp lends her voice to this ditty from Tricky's [...]
There is something in the air that is getting to all of us.
There are Girlfriend Tracks where you and your girl smoke trees at lunch at your resort off the Almalfi Coast. There are Girlfriend Tracks where you and your girl get pissy in the club. There are Girlfriend Tracks where you and your girl roast marshmallows at night on a camping trip. Then there are the Girlfriend Tracks where you and your girl went to a wedding, then a concert, then a club, then a bar, then an afterparty. You stumble into the crib at five o' seven in the morning just in time to catch that "what the fuck [...]

"i joke all the time," she confesses, "to stop feeling the sadness." unbeknownst to one another, britpop artists portishead & tricky both sampled music from isaac hayes 1970's track "ike's rap ii". back in 1995, there was a silly controversy over the belief of trip-hop plagiarism and a game of who sampled first. when it came down to it, tricky's "hell is around the corner" was physically recorded before anyone had the chance to hear portishead's original written creation of "glory [...]
This is the other side of my Big Headphone Beats coin. A warm bath to relax in, a hammock to dream in, a dark shadowed corner to hide in. These are the beats I love most, the bass lines that live in my skin, all attached to memory: -flying down pch by myself at midnight, racing [...]

Complètement zappé ce morceau. Et puis sans raison apparente, écoute en boucle, à la fois maladive et jouissive. Comme pour beaucoup d'artistes aux débuts fracassants, les premiers disques de Tricky m'ont passioné, les suivants intéressé, les derniers ennuyé. En 1999, juste avant de se faire virer d'une major et paradoxalement faire une musique plus convenue, le schizophrène Adrian Thaws fit un
Back in my early teen years, my step-mother bought me a subscription to Spin magazine on her daughter’s recommendation. It was a blessing, and not because my mother hated it so much. Living in small-town nowhere allowed little exposure to the alternative music I so loved, and Spin was one of my windows into that world. I cringe to think that were I an adolescent now, M2 and Spin [...]

richard prince last night i met up with josh to check out a new monday night party, and, um, it wasn't that good. so we ended up walking around trying to find a place to duck in for a drink. walked by beauty bar , and as i glanced in the window i was greeted with the sight of two enormous fake boobs. after heading inside (how could we not?) apparently adult film star gina lynn was doing some kind of [...]
