I bounced to the Stanislaus National Forest for some recreational activites... Just a few photos... Can't wait to get back... Maybe even drag the Honor Roll with me!
Souls of Mischief- "93 till Infinity" I'm ending this week(starting this weekend) with a few videos from Souls of Mischief/ Hieroglyphics... No, not just because, but for their underlying themes... Hieroglyphics- "You Never Knew" That's right- the blue sky, fresh air... that outdoor lifestyle that many of us in Northern California are accustomed to. I'm doing this, because I'm about to go backpacking this weekend. Yes, contrary to popular belief, I grew up fishing, scaling cliffs, and swimming in mountain lakes during the summer months. [...]
Everything But the Girl "Each and Everyone" and "Rollercoaster" (Live) Okay, I won't lie... I got up on this song not too long ago. I've always been a fan of Everything But the Girl, Ben Watt remixes and al that, just never went in hella deep on past albums. When I was crate diggin' a few months back, I came up on this record. This is my $h!t... The video above is the live version of this ... Oh yeah, and its officially of Summer here in the States. Yessss. -Trackadeezy

Anyone that truly knows my musical inclinations knows that DJ Quik is in my Top 5 of artists of all time. So the fact that I am on the same bill with him has me JUICED. The one thing that I can say about him is that he has always been ahead of the curve, able to do what others in his genre could never think of doing. Back in middle school I remember watching PBS right before Reading Rainbow was about to come on, when all of a sudden "Quik's Groove III" [...]
KANYE WEST "PARANOID" feat: RIHANNA Dir: NABIL from nabil elderkin on Vimeo . Thumbs up for Rihanna.
Amp Live Feat. K.Flay Trackademcks J. Sonic Live at The Uptown It's rare that the sun moon and stars align in favor of Oakland's nightlife, BUT it happens this FRIDAY! If you haven't been to Downtown Oakland, you might not know that there has been a whole new crop of bars popping up, as well as the historic Fox Theater , making the blocks around the corner from Oaksterdam the new East Bay destination. As if that wasn't enough, its going to be First [...]
Swing Out Sister- "Twilight World" I have to thank my mom for the lovefest about to take place... As a kid in the 80s, I really only listened to what my mom listened to- Wham!, Sade, Tears For Fears, Basia, and of course Swing Out Sister. These were groups I loved way before I could name a hip-hop group. About as close as it got to hip-hop in my house was Bob James' "Take Me to the Mardi Gras" or the KING OF R&B's best album "Don't Be Cruel"... Swing Out [...]
San Ilya- "Bellisimo" This song was on a Revlon comercial a few years back. There are some dope songs on the record, "Bliss" and "All For Melody" being my favorites.
Radiohead- "Climbing Up the Walls" (Fila Brazillia Remix) I just saw Radiohead's tour documentary, Meeting People is Easy , again yesterday. Crazy. Sold out areas, everyone singing every word. Here's one of my favorite Radiohead remixes from the OK Computer era, courtesy of Fila Brazillia. Cheers! - Trackadeezy
It's going down tonight at the legendary Fillmore in SF! I'm excited because I get the opportunity to rock with the Pharcyde- all four of them! Its crazy because this group has achieved what many groups only aspire to... crafting a hip-hop "standard" . For real though, this song is on "Happy Birthday" status (and I'm not talking about the Birfday Song ...). An with that said, here's one of my Pharcyde favorites... "She Said" (Jay Dee Remix) See yall [...]
Little Dragon is a dope group. I think I told yall that before. I like dope groups. And occasionally I'm fortunate enough to be able to remix them. Download: Little Dragon- "After The Rain" (Trackademicks Remix) Yessss. -Trackademicks
Last week I got a chance to sit down with Christina Li of SF Station and talk about, well, myself (not in the akward, "annoying date" way though, hahaha...) Check It Out!
What up! It's been a minute, but yes, I still made it! Allow me to reintroduce myself... my name is Trackademicks! Yes, your favorite cyberhood Honor Roller. Today's update comes via Twitter (Read from the bottom up) Be sure to order your copy from Turntable Lab Today! Yesssss.
