The weather has been really wack lately, so here are some good tracks to listen to when its...

Raining: Wu-Tang for sure...

snow (skiing da powdaaaa)

It's been a while since I last posted; since then I have come across a few albums that have brought me crazy amounts of joy. The first and most significant discovery is Jimi Hendrix's new posthumous album, which features 12 unreleased tracks. Some are different versions of other Jimi songs, some are completely new or studio versions of songs that were only found in raw form beforehand. All are awesome. Listening to this truly brings me back to my early years when all I listened to was classic rock, which feels fucking awesome.

here are a few tracks, I recommend y'all grab this whole album though if you are a Jimi fan!

Jimi Hendrix - Valleys of Neptune







Next up is John Butler Trio's new album, April Uprising. I find this album is quite different from other JBT albums, but it is definitely tight, I like it.









Broken Bells - a relatively new band as far as I know, I am really digging this self-titled album. They are playing at the Commodore sometime in May too!







that is all for now, enjoy the sunshine

It's been a while since I posted, so naturally I have accumulated some really sick tracks over that time period. Now I share

ACEYALONE and RJD2: Magnificent City. The combination of Ace's unique style and RJD2's unreal production and creative genius make for one sick ass album. Youtube doesn't do these tracks justice, you need full stereo higher bitrate sound and some good headphones!







XPLODING PLASTIX: A trip-hoppy, acid-jazzy blend of music from the minds of two Norwegians. Again, the production is really good so you will want to download them to really enjoy it

I AM SERIOUSLY TRIPPING ON THIS SONG...grab some high quality headphones...and i suggest you download the song in mp3 format to get the full depth of the audio.

Morcheeba at its finest.






SHPONGLE - the staple in psychedelic music



I highly recommend that you download this entire album in high quality if you like this stuff...its an experience unlike anything else

VICENTE AMIGO - straight up, this is the craziest guitar playing I have ever seen, of any kind. sit back and try to keep your jaw up.



BONOBO - chill trip-hop with some really cool sounds.





CODE NAME: SCORPION - a combination of Abstract Rude, Prevail (of Swollen Members), and Moka Only. this is a badass sounding song.



BLISS N ESO - an awesome hip-hop group from Australia. You really have to listen to what these guys are saying, they spit the truth.



this song is probably their most well known, for good reasons.

DAMIAN MARLEY: I was lucky enough to see him play live in both Whistler and Vancouver during the Olympics. If you saw him too, you know how amazing he is. If you didn't, you should be jealous.





FELT: this is what you get when you combine Murs and Slug (of Atmosphere) on the mic, and Aesop Rock on the beats. listen to this first track LOUD!



this one is produced by Slug, I believe.



MORCHEEBA: trip-hoppy, bluesy, I dont know what the fuck to call it, its awesome though. They have a crazy diversity of sounds.





thats all for now! enjoy

Hello all, welcome to the first post on my fancy new music blog. I realized it would be a grand idea if i could have all the dope tracks I find in one place on the net, rather than throwing them on facebook!

Basically, I will just be posting up songs that I think everyone should hear, or genre-specific things. There will a variety of music; hip hop, trip hop, progressive rock, electronic, blues, psychedelic, reggae...whatever is good.

I'll start it off with some stuff I discovered today.

First up: RJD2. I definitely recognized some tracks off this album, but never knew the artist. I got two words for it: fuckin killer.







UP NEXT: COMMON MARKET. They are a Seattle based hip-hop duo. Chill beats, amazing production, tight rhymes, everything you would want.





LAST BUT NOT LEAST: THEM CROOKED VULTURES. Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age), John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin), Dave Grohl (Nirvana). Nuff said.
