Even though he was on a Wild US tour this January, Mimosa still managed to compile a fire breathing mix. With an almost soothing intro, I was caught off guard by the intensity that was brought to my speakers. Dropping primarily new bass heavy tracks, with a solid remix of Ni**as in Paris, Mimosa clearly [...]

"You moved in slow degrees/A sudden memory/You're a Leonard Cohen song" - Better Than Ezra, "Under You" "But I was caught, like a fleeting thought / Stuck inside Leonard Cohen's mind" - Mercury Rev, "A Drop In Time" "Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld / So I can sigh eternally" - Nirvana, "Pennyroyal Tea" It's almost unbelievable now to think that we almost never heard Leonard Cohen , the singer. A well-regarded poet from the late [...]

Nadastrom vs Heartbreak - Church [ mp3 SoundCloud] a forgotten heavyweight gem Nadastrom and Heartbreak VS James Blake and Nina Simone

Two Lids, 2011. Welcome back campers. Here are some tidy sensory blips for the benefit of your imagination, and future generations. I seem to be finding new music more and more through movies and TV these days, so here are some of those selections. Aloe Blacc - I Need A Dollar - The theme song, for the now cancelled HBO show How To Make it In America otherwise known as the Vice Magazine show. Hoagy Carmichael - Stardust [...]

Hello again. First things first, Merry Christmas. This time of year is traditionally when everyone gets together, eats too much, drinks too much and ends up arguing over who does the washing up (among other things) and I thought it might be a good distraction for me and maybe for you to have something else to do. As it was last year, the songs over the next twelve days will not be particularly festive. This is mostly because I'm a grumpy git, but also because I have yet to hear any christmas songs that I have genuinely enjoyed. [...]

The Hidden Words - "Dis" . These many months later , Hidden Words are preparing to release Free Thyself from the Fetters of the World , their debut. This is still a Bahá'í folk enterprise; still a band that includes two-thirds of the Unicorns. I remain perplexed by the goals of the project, or at least by its choice of methodology. I remain disappointed that these songs - sung in English, French and Spanish - communicate so little. Verses from the Báb, set to guitars, viola, Jamie Thompson's suitcase percussion. Alden Penner is one of the country's most [...]

Nina Simone - "Mississippi Goddam" The stage is set with tents. A safe space for women. A First-Aid tent. A kitchen tent. A lending library. A logistics tent. Some tents need to be transparent. They extend into the audience. The seats that are under tents still must be sold. Christmas lights. A church tower to the side. A meeting place in the middle. A cloudy drizzle, constantly falling. Low, tepid drumming. Scattered painted bristol board. A dancer, with a whispy waistband, prances by holding a piece of cardboard. A [...]

The Nina Simone tracks from the verve remixed compilations are popular cocktail party requests especially See Lion Woman, Troubleman, Sinnerman, Look of Love, Feelin' Good and Gimme Some. Her remixed and reimagined album has some decent tracks as well including DJ Logic's remix of Obeah Woman and the remix of Ain't Got No Life made popular by the Hair Musical.
Eariler tonight, courtesy of my friend Sarah Cake, I saw the documentary on New York photographer Bill Cunningham, which is only just showing now in cinemas in Australia. What an accomplished and focussed man he is! The end of 2011 approaches and I'm quietly pleased. It has been a busy year and looking at the amount of annual leave I've racked up, not a very fun year. So bring on 2012 I say! The suppose end of days year should be a blast! And who knows, I might even USE some leave and have a bloody break. [...]

Sometimes there is a playlist involved, occasionally we'll have a guest, but most of the time it's just me. The rest is up to you, our friends and readers! Fire up your media player of choice and share the first five random track of your shuffle in the comments. The Five: I hear that my little town—Newtown, CT—has made [...]
When Nina Simone sang "To Be Young Black and Gifted", she inspired the civil rights anthem of the 1970's. The lyrics were simple, yet the empowering nature of the message resonated with a Black... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]

Its always a special occasion when we drop a sick-nasty-wobbly-wobblefest on our TBE peeps. Super-obvi today will be no exception. Rest assured, your worldwide dub dealer has got your fix... So, get that change of cloths and that extra pair of undies ready. The BASS is back. I figured the picture fit in nicely with Halloween steadily approaching. Just don't stare too long. Side note: I like my bass swollen, not my women. For more jams or by any of these artists use the 'tags' links at the bottom of the post! Follow [...]
