Wednesday, October 29th, 2008Ok, this post might be a little biased considering I do have a slight (ok, maybe huge) crush on Taylor McFerrin, however it doesn’t make his side project, The Cell Theory any less reputable. I got to catch them over the summer in Prospect Park and it was awesome. Having live drums and [...]
The Beat Doctor
Monday, October 13th, 2008There is nothing that I could say that would do justice to Depth’s rework of Antonio Carlos Jobim’s “Aguas De Marcos”. As an avid fan of Bossa Nova, this song hit the spot. Depth has said his music is about “living life, love, and longing”, and citing “folk, pre-fusion spiritual jazz, African high [...]
Martina Topley-Bird at the Les Creatives Festival
Wednesday, October 8th, 2008Time permitting, I would love to take the hour long trip to Geneva to check out Martina Topley-Bird at the Les Creatives Festival in November. Topley-Bird first crashed onto the music scene in 1995 on Tricky’s “Maxinquaye”, creating quite a stir amongst the then pop-conservatives. On her sophomore album “The Blue God”, released [...]
Micachu
Wednesday, September 17th, 2008So I’m totally in love with Micachu and The Shapes “Golden Phone” track that Vibes and Stuff had on his September mixtape. London continues to be a hotbed for music right now, and this young lady proves it. It’s definitely an acquired taste, with funky off-kilter sounds, but it’s a great listen. [...]
Daedelus
Saturday, July 12th, 2008I have always appreciated Daedelus, but sometimes his music is filled with too many blips and bleeps for me. I can take it in small doses. However his new album Love To Make Music To, while still spotted with the occasional avant-garde track, is full of some remarkably upbeat tunes that I am [...]
Flying Lotus ft. Dolly
Monday, May 19th, 2008Don’t know how I missed this one…some of the best from Flying Lotus in awhile. The song features Dolly, which apparently is the combination of Flying Lotus and Ahu, so I’m not sure why it’s labeled as Flying Lotus ft. Dolly. Whatever, I’m going to stop thinking too much about this and let [...]
The Dodos: ‘Visitor’ March 18th
Saturday, February 9th, 2008San Francisico band The Dodos sophomore album is being released via French Kiss Records, and is already picking up some good publicity. With appearances all over the country including SXSW, I’m sure we will be hearing more of them in the months to come. I have yet to see them live, but have [...]
