No one has shaped my view of music more than James Yancey. He challenged our idea of music and pushed us towards a more progressive and creative appreciation of hip hop. He died six years ago, but the music lives on in his wake. This project is dedicated to the life and memory of the one and only J Dilla. -L'Orange DOWNLOAD "Still Spinning" ON BANDCAMP CLICK HERE L'Orange: Twitter • Facebook • Bandcamp [...]

There's nothing wrong with the idea of a tribute concert from Amy Winehouse. There's nothing wrong with staging it to raise money for the uh, you know, that charity thing. But surely people have learned by now that the way to destroy an event is to oversell it before it's organised? THE Amy Winehouse tribute concert later this year is taking shape. [...] Mitch is talking to TV companies about airing the show and is considering making it pay-per-view, so it makes as much cash as possible. [A source said] "Big [...]
Illuminous3 - Grown Illuminous 3 - Nothing Really Matters Illuminous 3 - Montessori Freez, Mavin MC and Franz Diego drop the latest project called "Montessori" and it was made to capture the times and memories that we all shared together attending Seward Montessori Elementary school in South Minneapolis.

So there was this thing on facebook today where I was asked to find out the number one song from the week I was born. I already knew the answer, because it's ALWAYS been a song related to my birthdate. My parents had pretty decent taste in music, and I've always credited our drives to [...]

Sorry for the rather late start today, but Skip, my factotum, is here to put up the outside lights, and I am periodically called outside to check progress and to see if everything is in the right place then when the spotlight blew I had to go to the store to buy another one and some new garlands for the fence. Last year there was enough garland to span the fence but it seems to have disappeared over the summer. My artificial tree, the ugliest scrub pine you ever saw, is now up in the dining room. Over the summer, [...]
Here's another QuESt cut, "The Memories" produced by Mt.Eden. QuESt's upcoming project Fear Not Failure drops early 2012.
Steely Dan : Barrytown [ purchase ] As a parent, many of life's best and most potent memories will involve one's children. There are, of course, the milestones: births and birthdays, first steps, first days at school, holidays, graduations, weddings etc. And there will be random events or just the vibe of a certain age which resonates stronger than that of other ages. My only child, a son who now is 17, has given me a truckload of such memories, all of them [...]
Sileas : Beating Harps [ purchase ] Beating Harps, the song and the album, came out in 1987. That was a very important year for me. For the last six months of the year, I was on temporary lay-off from my job. Knowing that I would be called back, I decided to live on the unemployment, while seeing if I could make an opening for myself in the music business. To do this, I decided to identify some non-profit organizations in New York City that were involved in music, and offer [...]

Earlier in the month we bought you the news that Cloud Nothings are set to release a brand new record early next year. Attack On Memory is produced by Steve Albini and the first taster from the LP, No Future No Past, is already sounding like one of the strongest tracks of the year. Now the band have released a free mixtape full of the songs that inspired the rec0rd. Here's what Baldi from the band had to say about it; "While I [...]
Isley Brothers: If You Were There [purchase] On one of my trips to Charleston, South Carolina I stopped off at a store to buy an album I wasn't really familiar with: the Isley Brothers 3 + 3. It became a soundtrack for that sunny weekend spent on the beach, in fine restaurants, among good friends and relatives. Every time I got in my car, I played the CD ...which kicks off with 5 and half minutes of their huge 1973 hit "That Lady, Pt 1 & 2". Big memories? Not [...]
The King is dead, long live the Queen: This week marks the 20th anniversary of the death of Freddie Mercury, Queen frontman and rock mega-idol.
By surfing one of our favorite blogs , we have come to find out that disco diva Andrea True Connection , who is most famous for her song " More, More, More " has passed away. The cause of death was not released. She is one of the few adult film stars that made it into the Billboard top 10. Sad news. Her song "More, More, More" was covered by Rachel Stevens and Bananarama. Also it was used as a sample for the Len hit song "Steal My Sunshine." [...]
Joe Jackson : (It's a) Big World [ purchase ] My middle brother and I were rivals for much of our childhood. We shared a bedroom, which sometimes helped but often hurt. We are almost exactly two years apart in age, with his birthday in late August and mine in early September. Usually, that at least wasn't an issue. But there was one year when one of our birthday presents were both late. We didn't even get it until January 25 of the following year, and then we had to share [...]
Streets and backyards are covered with brown oak leaves, recent victims of the last three days of winds. Pine needles in the front yard cover the lawn and garden. My world is drab and messy. Today Miss Gracie is six years old. After I finish here, we have to go to Agway for dog food so she'll get to pick a couple of gifts and a treat or two. Gracie won't think this too special as it happens almost every time we go to Agway. Dogs are meant to be spoiled. I sent out my Thanksgiving [...]
