Temperature's Rising...

Thanks to these dudes, who introduced me to Ta'raach. He's now made a Lovelution sorta solution and has an album coming out this Tuesday (1/30). It's called The Fevers on the Sound In Color label, I think. If you missed him at The FADER 43 party (reacap still to follow, i think) he's got an electric soul sound in the vein of Platinum Pied Pipers, J Dilla, and Sa-Ra. It's like sweet rasberries with a pinch of 9-volt battery. And I mean that in a good way. Before I go any further, check here for a better explaination along with other good artists, or listen to the songs below...

Ta'raach - Big Bang Theory (mp3)
Ta'raach - The Look (mp3)
Ta'raach - Liberation Lullaby (mp3)

Do It

"In January 2007, several news sources reported that Timbaland was alleged to have plagiarized several elements (both motifs and samples) in the song "Do It" on the 2006 album Loose by Nelly Furtado without giving credit or compensation... more"

Was peeped on the story here.
It's nothing new. Hopefully "Tempest" will get some mad scrilla though.

New Yamamoto Song

The Human Being can actually be the one to credit for this find, but Yamamoto has got a new song up on their Myspace. I want to fly away in a bubble now. Thank you.

Stevie B

Before I put this off any longer, I must say... Stevie B is going to make a comeback. That's right. A comeback. My little prognostication is that it won't be as good as say Mark Wahlberg's comback with Boogie Nights & The Big Hit (dood, i thought those were good), but it'll be a comback nonetheless. I'm serious man, the guy had hits. I mean, look at that hair. And how could you deny songs like these?

Stevie B - Spring Love (mp3)
Stevie B - Because I Love You (mp3)

You can hear the 2007 version of Spring Love featuring Pitbull on Mr. B's Myspace, but I honestly like the old one better.

"In The Good" from We Are The Ones (We've Been Waiting For)

Damn, I don't check my Myspace messages all that often and I slept on this Visionaries release...

VISIONARIES


Buy It

Ohmagah

Weirdest shit ever...

I was pumping gas for my boo the other day and she only likes to get 20 bucks of gas at a time. I actually didn't know that information prior to pumping the thing. It just past twenty as she yelped for me to stop the gas. It stopped at 23. There's more...

I did a bit of driving today running some errands, but got backed up and was running late. It was 2:30 when traffic suddenly stopped. The car in front of me had a Chicago Bulls bumper sticker with Michael Jordan's numer 23 on it. I mean really. Who drives around with a Chicago Bulls bumper sticker in California? There's more...

I saw another bumper sticker the other day too. This one was a Lakers bumper sticker. The car actually had 2 of them. They said, "Threepeat" on them. Coincidence? I think not.

What the hell is this all about? It's about the number 23 man. It'll happen. It'll appear in your life. I'm not kidding dood. I'm scared.

NO RADIO SHOW TODAY.....

Sorry, no show today. Pre-empted by UCI sports.

Also, if you went to the FADER 43 issue release... recap to follow.

k-os

"I am trying to be unapologetic about the rules I break. Most revolutionary art ends up provoking classic ideals and it is these same classic ideals that become prisons if they go unchallenged." -k-os



The new album is called ATLANTIS-Hymns for Disco and I can't find a place of purchase anywhere. Maybe k-os made somebody mad? Maybe he's being held down by the man? Maybe he ate a high-powered record mogul's kid's playdough and made the kid cry? Maybe the album is invisible? Maybe it's a secret? Maybe you have to buy a secret chip and insert it into your butt and the album will come out? Maybe I should stop.

Here are two of his older songs.

K-Os - Man I Used To Be (mp3) i like the end acoustic part of this one
K-Os - Superstar Pt. Zero (mp3)

*UPDATE: The album is out in the U.S. on February 20th. Yeah!

List

I like Rizoh's Top 106 Rap songs of 2006 on About.com here. Oh so nice. Seriously.

But maybe you're like, "Man, lists are so last year." But if there is one more list you were really hoping to find, but couldn't... try here. Call me crazy, but the "Top Three Rejected Ideas To Promote Fat Joe's Single 'Make It Rain'" intrigue me. Speaking of, not really, what is that one Los Angeles church mentioned in the Vietnamese Telephone Ministry? Dang, it's on the tip of my tongue. If only I had a list.

What, you don't get it? Me either, but somehow... I like it!
