Do you like music? Well this one is a call to action. A temporal mix that hopefully reads more timeless than momentary. A sort of "Music Now!" demand in line with the standout Frightened Rabbit track off their Sings The Greys debut. I always seem to end up with a bunch of late 60s tracks, and the ones on this mix seem to be especially central to the overall gesture. Almost as a challenge to myself after having an argument with a friend on the quality of 80s music, and realizing how few products of the [...]

Another year, another month, another Smorg. Was really missing the old underground radio station WHPK when I made this, so it ended up having one of those old lo-fi-radio-station-recorded-t o-cassette feels to them. I dig it, and I hope that you good people do as well. Tracklist and DL link up under the blouse. Rite on. *PBBT!'S SMORGASBORD JANUARY 2011 [ DOWNLOAD ]
Alright, I made a comment about Qwel earlier, one of my favorite underground emcees from my high school days, and it got a positive response from Derrik. Qwel was one of the emcees in Typical Cats from Chicago. Their first self titled album was one of those albums that shaped my opinions on music from that point on. Jazzy beats, three completely different and unique emcees, and an album that you can listen to from front to back without skipping a fucking track. It's the kind of album that you listen to once and pick out [...]

Last time I did a post full of old underground hip-hop songs, part of the reason was just to bring some of my personal favorites to the surface so they didn't get lost in my iTunes ocean that's constantly overflowing with new music. To my surprise, it was very well received. Cool. Do it again, right? Right. Here we go. If you missed Round 1, click here . Sidenote: I'm trying fileden on a few of these songs. Hoping Hype M picks it up. Also hoping it works. Amplive vs. Radiohead [...]

When an angsty jazz band jumps four aspiring rappers in an alleyway, you get Typical Cats. Gone are the pulsating bass-lines and blipping synths of today's rap music; instead, each of their songs incorporate a looped jazz piano line over a hip-hop drum beat - and the results are undeniably cool. The members of typical cats aren't you're typical rappers, as their style is feels more like slam poetry (see "Qwelloquiallisms) and as if they are freestyling. These cats will undoubtedly make you purr. Meeow. Typical Cats - Qweloquiallisms [...]
