First song is “Don’t Want To Know” by the John Martyn who passed away this last Thursday. In memory, Jason Bentley played “Don’t Want To Know” on KCRW Thursday morning and that was my introduction to the song.

First song is “Any Fun” by Coconut Records which, aside from being a great song, would seem to beg this question- why do so many movie stars want to be rock stars and so many rock stars want to be movie stars? In Jason Schwartzman’s case, it really could have gone either way. Schwartzman started his music and [...] Read More…

First song is Mos Def‘s brand new track, “Quiet Dog”. It’s the second single from his upcoming album, The Ecstatic. I really just like Mos Def’s vibe. Not only does he flow over whatever beat he’s on with ease and edge, but his lyrical abilities combined with his distinctive sounding voice really separate him from [...] Read More…

First song is a new, leaked track from Prince, the 2008 Coachella headliner and the artist formerly known as “the artist formerly known as Prince”. It’s called “Colonized Mind” and it kind of sounds to me like a cross between Tom Petty and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. That might just be me. New album is [...] Read More…

First song is Pocketknife’s remix of Jose Gonzalez’ “Storm”. It was originally available almost a year ago on UGHH.com- and I’m not really sure why since that’s a hip hop site- but the song was just released on iTunes a couple of days ago as the b-side to a Jose Gonzalez single. It’s a great remix… I’d [...] Read More…

Adrian Quesada and Ocote Soul Sounds now have two amazing albums- the most recent and El Nino Y El Sol (2006). “The Grand Elixir” is the first track off of The Alchemist Manifesto. Second track is from another one of my favorite albums of 2008. The song [...] Read More…
