In 1995 I used to get home from school at 315 and watch Yo MTV Raps and Rap City. Those were the days when I wore Tommy Hillfiger shirts and dreamed of doing a collab with Wu Tang Clan–still waiting on that one by the way. Here are a few videos that bring me back to those days….
Okkervil River is joining the likes of 50 Cent and Green Lanturn with the release of their most recent (and I think first) mix tape. The 9 track mix is available for free on the band’s website. I’ll be listening to this on my journey to visit the fam, especially “Listening to Otis Redding at Home During Christmas.” Now go and cop this free shit! Then go get Stage Names…. my vote for 2007 album of the year…….stop jocking that Panda Bear record…..yes you…..it was dope, but this was better.
Another great “mix tape”……..
There’s really nothing better than an early morning walk……ok maybe a few things. Anyhow, I often walk around with my ipod and get lost in the music. ”Early Morning Wanderings” by Chris Joss is the perfect song to zone out to while absording the beauty of a fall morning.
Frrrrrrr. Step in this shit and check out a bonus video from Chris Joss. And if you’re feeling his shit, then support that shit…..Chris Joss’ Myspace Page
This is simply an amazing song by an artist that really deserves some shine. His name is A.A. Bondy and he’s creating relevant folk music that should occupy a few megabytes on your ipod. Enjoy this SHIT!
