(Post Title Here)

Gaaaaaaahhhhh... holiday party... pain...



DKD are a Marvel Team-Up of Broken Beat superheroes consisting of Dego, Kaidi Tatham and Daz-I-Kue... that's right, 4Hero vs. Bugz In The Attic. So I don't think I need to give you the hard sell on this one. Let's just get to the biznazz...

DKD - Natty Head (ysi)

Urrrrrrrrgh...

Ticklin' the little bittie ivories...

Didn't do a very good job of getting many posts up last week, did I? But you can stop yer bellyachin', 'cause here's one now...



Yeah, it's probably not that cool to like professional piano nugget Jamie Cullum, but hey... I like him, all like 3 feet of him. And that's mostly because of his cover versions, believe it or not. There's no ironic hipster bullshit angle to 'em, and in fact (especially in the case of his more recent version of Rihanna's "Don't Stop The Music") some of them actually improve upon the originals by stripping down the usually crap chart pop over-production and exposing that hey, this really is a well-written song. Or something...

Jamie Cullum - Frontin' (ysi)

Okay, I'll try to do better the rest of this week, but I gives no guarantees. Busy busy busy...

What did YOU invent? Oh, right. Nothing.

Dang, it's been tough getting something up this week. But here we go, finally...



I won't pretend to know anything more about Cartola except for the fact that he's one of the folks they say invented Samba... which is, I'd say, pretty significant. Also, there's something weird going on with dude's nose. It kinda freaks me out. But the cuica helps me get past it. Loves me some cuica...

Cartola - Aconteceu (ysi)

And here's some cool old video...



I imagine I shall see you all again on Friday and I will now say "good day" to you...

Hullabaloo 2: Yuletide Boogaloo

Ho ho ho, pimps and hoes! It's time for the long-awaited sequel to the least-awaited Holiday mix ever. Tracklist withheld for the time being because it's more fun that way...

File Under: Jus' Good Shit.

Genres are becoming more and more meaningless in Dance music these days, especially right out at the front edge of fonkay...



You know the drill by now... when Gilles Peterson's Brownswood label releases something new, you're gonna hear about it here before too damn long. This one, as you might guess with your smart little brain, focuses more on the electronic side of all things Gilles... the Dubstep/2-Step/House/D & B stew that has been brewing in the UK for a while now. The genre lines are being blurred in a most delicious manner (Does that sound gay? Yeah, that sounds pretty gay...) lately and of course my man(crush) and his imprint are all over that shit. Exhibit A: This great little jammy by Eliphino, a producer so new he's still got a day job...

Eliphino - Let Me Love You Forever (ysi)

But for realsies... how do you categorize that? House? Broken Beats? Garage? Beats the shit outta me... but really all that matters is ME LIKEY! Have a great weekend, kids...

"I have had it with these muthafuckin' samurai on this muthafuckin' plane!"

Speaking of all-around good ideas...



Afro Samurai was a pretty badass concept right from the git-go. An anime series about a samurai brotha, hell-bent for revenge and voiced by Samuel L. Jackson and soundtracked by The RZA? Fuck and yes! His sword is the one with "Bad Motherfucker" engraved on it...

The RZA - Certified Samurai (ft. Talib Kweli, Lil Free & Suga Bang) (ysi)

Here's the trailer... it'll probably make you wanna see it...



Tomorrow, once again... not C & C Music Factory.

Just doin' tha do, y'all

Once again at Tonegents, we are staying super hip... HIP-HOUSE THAT IS! GET GET GET - GET BUSY! GET GET GET - GET BUSY!



Psyche! No Mr. Lee today. I know, I know... a cruel taunt. But hey, if he was the king of Hip-House (and let's just say he was, otherwise my whole segue is facacta), then perhaps Betty Boo was the queen? Well... you know... if there was a single person in the entire world who actually gave enough of a shit to make such distinctions. Nope, Hip-House will not go down as the greatest of House music's many offshoots, and rightly so. But I've always liked this album, so suck on this...

Hey DJ / I Can't Dance (To That Music You're Playing) (ysi)

Tomorrow... not C & C Music Factory!
