OK so the Celtics win the championship. Badass right? We were all hoping for this except my cousin Adam, the Lakers fan, but even he isn't so sore because next year is the Lakers year. Let's look at the reactions of the Big 3 (all mostly paraphrased) Paul Pierce: "Blood Sweat and Tears" -- I saw clips of Pierce saying this a number of times...the first instance with 4 minutes left in the game when the starters got pulled, and then after the game is over, and then again in the locker room.

Yeah baby!!! For your papa, #16: Check out papa Walton...looks the exact same.

From the handclaps and soul harmonizing of opening track "Another Day", it's clear that this is not the Jamie Lidell of eight years ago. Lidell's first release in 2000, Muddlin' Gears, assaulted the listener with pastiche soundscapes of vocal and electronic experimentation. 2005's Multiply was a successful departure from the IDM frontiers explored on Muddlin' Gears, an album rooted in electro-tinged funk and R&B. On Jim, Lidell has moved further away from his early experimentations, embracing vintage R&B and soul music. Lidell voice soars over funky and restrained backing tracks, always the conscious center-piece of the [...]

So I returned to Tusk Saturday night, playing solo. I don't like DJing by myself for a few reasons. First and foremost, I start to fade pretty hard after about two and a half hours of mixing, at four I start feeling like a zombie. I saw a few of the same people from last week. Still a lot of bros, but things were a little bit more diverse. Until about 11:45 there was a gray-haired man in his late 40s sipping a glass of white wine and staring blankly at the flat-screen TV on the [...]

Download it for free on the Fool's Gold blog On the Seinfeld themed Mixtape About Nothing, mixed by Fool's Gold labelhead Nick Catchdubs, Washington, D.C.'s Wale drips with self-awareness. Samples from the television show are used throughout the mixtape, but never gratuitously, they set a surprisingly appropriate backdrop for Wale's rapid-fire non-sequitur vocal style. The production is handled nearly entirely by another D.C. native, Best Kept Secret. The influence of go-go music is found on most of the tracks, with rattling clavs and auxiliary percussion peppering soul-sample heavy hip-hop. The sources [...]

My new friend DJ Senile , a nice guy and talented DJ, invited me to join him and play some records at his Saturday night weekly at Tusk Lounge . The bar was in a condo community in Longmont, Colorado, otherwise known as the middle of fucking nowhere. The idea of the community is to be self-sustaining, in that no one ever has to leave and interact with people that are not of their exact demographic. There are restaurants and stores [...]

So, I just realized two days ago that the Boredoms are basically the best band in the world right now. Why did it take me so long to realize this? I don't know. but seadrum has me completely hooked. "You can have sounds echo with your brain, and it feels good. So rather than listening to music, it`s like having these sounds ringing inside your head, and yourself creating the music. Sound that`s [...]

Ok, that title is totally a joke. If it were a Rocky and Bullwinkle title, the second part would be: or What I Learned From Werner Herzog On Tour So lets do it. I'm just going to ramble here, you are welcome to not read this, or to take it with a big ass grain of salt, cause I'm going to just go out on a limb here and let it all hang out (AKA bullshit, question mark?). Also, the tone of this was at least partially [...]

(Embedding has been disabled for Audio Two's video, search for the Video Mix on Youtube) In 1987, Curtis Jackson III was 12 years old and living in Queens with his grandparents, following the murder of his mother. If his grandparents subscribed to cable television, he might have seen a music video for "Top Billin'", the surprise hit B-side from Audio Two's single "Make It Funky", on upstart music channel MTV. 1988 marked the launch of Yo! MTV Raps, broadcasting hip-hop into households across America, attaching visual significations to a burgeoning musical movement. It was also the year Curtis [...]

my friend wanted this song. maybe you do too? love yall -j

Last night I had a dream where I was participating in an episode of Law and Order. The case to be solved had to deal with Arthur Russell's death. The ace detective squad somehow decided that he didn't die of AIDS, but that he was murdered, and there were clues in his lyrics leading to the killer. "Hiding You Present From You" was somehow crucial to the plot development of the dream. I believe I was looking around a prison cell for clues while it played dramatically in the background. [...]
