SXSW
New Zealand doin it big at SXSW 2010
The madness has officially begun…everyone and their dog are currently on a RSVP rampage for the chaos that is going to be SXSW 2010. However, before I go into hibernation to prepare for my 14hr flight across the Pacific next week, I’m going to highlight some of the dopest acts out from NZ that are [...]
SXSW 2009: U-N-I
U-N-I – Hollywood Hiatus [Audio clip: view full post to listen] There is no doubting that the West Coast is going through what can only be called a rap revolution lately. The West Coast gangsta rap that we know of is pretty much dead–with Snoop Dog focusing on family life, and Suge Knight getting knocked out [...]
SXSW Preview: BLK JKS
BLK JKS – Lakeside [Audio clip: view full post to listen] When many people think of Africa, the stereotypical images abound: tribal music, mud huts, grass skirts and conflict dominate our images of the continent. However, Africa has been leading the modern music revolution for a hot minute now, from the Afrobeat stylings of Fela [...]
N.E.R.D. Complete SXSW Set, Tour Dates
N.E.R.D. Complete SXSW Set (ZShare, Zip) From what I hear, N.E.R.D. killed it at South By Southwest this year. But for all of us who weren’t able to make their Texas set, here is a decent (not great) quality rip of their entire set (via OKP). N.E.R.D is currently on a promotional tour across [...]
Random Ish, Thursday, March 13th, 2008
Barack Obama – The First Hip-Hop President? Well, more like the first Hip-Hop nominee, cause I don’t think he’ll ever get elected, but this is a good look. (from Ian) Speaking of the presidential race, please don’t fall for Hillary’s “experience” line that she’s using against Obama. Unless experience means leading Easter egg hunts. Oh, [...]

SINGLE REVIEW: “HUFF + PUFF” by Just A Band
This joint right here is real sexy-like. Your body will automatically go into autopilot: your head will start boppin’, and you’ll break into a soulful yet swingin’ two-step (think of the Robert Palmer video girls…on speed). The very beginning of the song reminds me of Supernature-era Goldfrapp with heavy synths keys, some la-la-las, and a [...]
