NYC TV

Although I can't get it at home, I enjoy watching NYC TV when I'm at work. Some of the programming is cool and they always show fun music videos. Tonight I caught TV on the Radio's "Wolf Like Me" and a Making the Video type joint for Beirut's "Scenic World". I'd never seen either video before and the TVOTR one is awesome. The Beirut video, eh. It's an enjoyable video, but if I was gonna rank these two, it'd catch the number 2 spot.

It's almost as fun as watching Jump Tomorrow.

Also,

If you haven't already, head here to download the new Talib/Madlib album. It's awesome, I implore you to listen to it.

J Dilla Jay Dee

Everyone out there should go and buy "The Shining", J Dilla's latest posthumous release. The more people that buy it, the more it makes up for me pirating it online. I gave my donation to the dilla fund via T Shirt purchase though, so I'm set. Anyways, this album has guest rhymes from Pharoahe Monch, Busta, Black Thought, Common, and some others, and all the beats are Dilla beats so you really aren't gonna go wrong.

It's also the Gza's 40th birthday today and the man is still swinging lyrical swords.



Good for him.


"Pool of Blood" feat. Jus Allah by the Gza

thanks for the heads up, talib

Okay, so Talib mentioned on his myspace blog that Mos Def is currently recording with Madlib. I don't know about you, but that makes me feel raunchy as hell in the pants. I love me some madlib, and I love me some mos def, so I'm hoping I'll love Moslib even more.

"Sex Freaks" by Jaylib ( J dilla with Madlib )

"Peeyano Keys" by MadVillian ( Metal Fingered Villian with Madlib )

"Six Days" remix feat. Mos Def by DJ Shadow ( Mos Def and DJ Shadow without Madlib )

So yeah, all these songs are awesome and listening to them now is going to be even nicer, because everytime I do, I'll get that little sparkle in my eye thinking about the forthcoming Mos Def / Madlib project.



Also,


I have been digging Page France for a little while now. I actually got into them at first when I heard their song "Jesus", but today I was listening to music on shuffle and another song by them came on. It has kind of a beatle-y piano line -not neccessarily a bad thing- and there's a cool intro with a really heavily distorted electric guitar over a super clean acoustic. Give it a listen.

aaaand lastly,
if Mr. Douchipster is going to recommend Björk's movie, (yeah that's right, I used the umlauts. Yeah those dots are called umlauts. whatup.) then I get to recommend her husband, Mr. Matthew Barney's movie Cremaster 3. I don't really even know how to explain it, it's so weird. It showed at the Guggenheim as part of an exhibit. It's honestly too artsy for me to really even get into, I didn't understand it, I just kinda thought everything looked cool. Oh and also I was an extra in the scene where Agnostic Front and Murphy's Law play. So ya know.


peace.
and fuck mudvayne.
