New TEAMS!
New BADBADNOTGOOD album dropped yesterday. They make it a point to mention that no one involved in the album was over the age of 21. While that may immediately turn some people off (I can just imagine some of the desperately cool noise-passing-as-music that claim may conjure up for some people), this album, like their last, and their Odd Future Sessions, are impressively sophisticated. This track is a cover of Kanye’s Flashing Lights. Check it out. The album is FREE (with an option to donate).
The new collab between Chrome Sparks and Steffaloo in “So Far 2 Go” is so good we couldn’t resist posting the pair’s collaborative efforts for the millionth time. Arguably their best yet, this new track is a bundle of sweet, joyful bliss delivered in the form of funky bass lines, layered synth melodies, playful percussion, and of course the sultry vocal stylings of Steffaloo. Plus, the intro and outro are brilliant. You can find this superb new jam via Portals’ new mixtape Mixtape #3: SXSW SAMPLER over at Bandcamp.

Azad who? I don’t know but after listening to this track I’m certainly going to find out. Here is Azad Right rapping over the intro from The XX’s album. Apparently he’s got a mixtape available for free download, too.
Have to give Perennial Plate credit for this one. This is a song that they used for a Taste of Vietnam video (brilliant video by the way). The song is called Tempura Soul and is by Fuka Vicente. I found it on the album Payback presents G.I. Funk: 14 Vietnam Wartime Funky Club Hits.

Picked this album up at the record store the other day. I heard of these guys from re-mix work by J.Rocc (this track and the whole KSB remix album is great). The band is Kashmere Stage Band (a high school band!!) and the album is But Still Burning. This song, Angel, in particular grabbed me.
What an absolutely beautiful story. Here is a excerpt from today’s Democracy Now! podcast.
(From the StoryCorps site) Brooklynites Danny, an OTB clerk, and Annie, a nurse, remember their life together—from their first date to Danny’s final days with terminal cancer. This remarkable couple personifies the eloquence, grace, and poetry that can be found in the voices of every day people if we take the time to listen.
