(When the site crashed in March and I thought I lost everything, this ended up being the only post I really lost… Unfortunately, because of that, I will leave you with the songs only…)

First song is the brand new Peter, Bjorn, and John track “Nothing To Worry About” due in March/April on their upcoming album Living Thing. Apparently, Kanye West leaked the track to the world after the Stockholm based crew personally sent it to him. PBJ backed the world’s most narcissistic hip hop solo act (and yes, that is saying a lot) during at least one live show in Sweden. Kanye also recorded a remix of the trio’s hit, “Young Folks” (click the picture-link below). So what’s the deal with this strange relationship? It’s like hearing Jay-Z and Chris Martin are not only friends but their actually playing on the same bill. Oh wait, that is happening. Jay Z supporting Cold Play makes about as much sense as hotchickswithdouchebags.com. It’s funny when you think about it but in reality it’s just weird that it even exists. What may shed a little light on the situation is this- “Nothing To Worry About” has a hint of Kanye’s style in it. Obviously, Peter and the other two are fans of Kanye West, they’re influenced by him, even making a song they think he will like (since they sent it to him first) and they love the fact that he’s paying attention to them really into them as well.

Second song is “Make The Road By Walking” by the Menahan Street Band. I kept hearing the song on KCRW, I found it on their myspace and on the Weiss’s blog, and now I can’t stop playing it. It’s kind of cinematic, it’s funky, it’s got great horn arrangements, it’s melodic and sweet… You get the point, I like this one a lot. I’m definitely going to look into this more and then maybe I’ll update this post…

Third song is brand new Souls Of Mischief, it’s “Tour Stories”, the single off the upcoming album (produced by Prince Paul?). I can’t believe 93′ Til Infinity was 16 years ago. And they really do tour A LOT. I’ve probably seen Hiero (with some of or all of Souls) more than any other crew. But that’s also because Del is on every festival bill ever.

Fourth song is “Misterio Stereo” by Curumin. The Brazil based, Spanish/Japanese musician’s album JapanPopShow came out in October of 2008 on Quannum Records. Chief Xcel of Blackalicious discovered Curumin’s first album, Achados e Perdidos, while on tour in Brazil. JapanPopShow features label-mates Gift of Gab and Lateef on one of the tracks, “Kyoto” and a couple of other Brazilian artists whose names I don’t recognize… Definitely check the song, album, and myspace out.
