Nicolas Jaar

http://www.xlr8r.com/podcast/2011/02/nicolas-jaar Not a massive fan of Nicolas Jaar but this mix is good and has an exceptional mix of Wendy Rene "After Laughter Comes Tears"

Janelle Monáe

I can't stop listening to Outkast and anything Outkast orientated at the moment I caught Janelle Monáe at Glastonbury and I think she's pretty hot!

I'd never heard this blackalicious tune but it was from an Xmas Target ad.

The Soul Of Nigger Charlie - Main Theme

Not sure if I've posted this before or not, anyway, It is tremendous and worth a repost if my memory has indeed failed me,

Hey guys, me and my housemate, mostly my housemate have started working as agents for getting live music here in Ho chi Minh. What I need from you guys s who are the best artists you have seen live in terms of rocking a crowd, especially, who would be good at rocking a crowd  even if the crowd werent familiar with them. can you help me out with this? You guys are pretty much experts here, so who that you have seen, however small or big could rock saigon?

Rahsaan Roland Kirk - I Say A Little Prayer - Live 1969

This guy is great, pretty crazy dude. I've got a bunch of his albums. This is a live version of his version of Say a Little Prayer which is fantastic. Bassist is going pretty nuts as well.

He plays a lot of nose flute, but not in this song. Which is exactly what it sounds like - a flute shoved up his nose... It's usually what you're hearing when you hear that flute interchanged with odd guttural vocal melodies like in that Harold Alexander track you posted the other week Jody (you know, the one that's off Cut chemist Rare Quations).


That Young Rascals track is great btw. Have you listened to much else they've done? How is it? Worth checking out?

Psy - Gangnam style

Is this as massive in the UK as it is everywhere else? It should be....

KID KOALA 12 bit Blues Cardboard Hand Powered Record Player Kit

For vinyl junkies and people whop like gimmicks. I'm both, so I bought one straight away. The music is dope too!

Groovin - The Young Rascals

Song My dad used to play alot, or well at least played it alot one sunny afternoon when I was a kid, its on the Expendables which sparked an old memory. I always assumed they were black..

This Song went off at the festival...

Amor se Escribe Con "H" Xhelazz ft Hate

This was playing in a shop I went into in Barcelona.

Khrysis

A name I'd always been aware of but never consciously considered. Due to the fact that I've been listening to a lot of Little Brother recently I decided to check out some more of his production and read a bit more about him. Firstly it was cool finding out how many tracks he produced that I like that I didn't know were him.. apart from having my favourite beat on the Minstrel Show which is no mean feat on an album mostly produced by 9th, he did Da Grind from Long Hot Summer, a whole bunch of tracks for Sean P, Kaze, Jean Grae.. and of course I'm finding some other cool stuff that I never heard before:

 
 That's off the Away Team album "National Anthem" that he produced all of.. I need to get that.

  I don't know who the fuck Cesar Comanche is.
 I would have thought a guy called Edgar Allen Floe would be a nerdy white guy. Turns out it's a nerdy black guy.
