Boo Radley (Bruises Badly), neé Luke Kirkland, once proud resident of our fair city, now reppin hard in Santa Fe, just sent us a new blazingly hot track.

Last night, Madonna, along with Leonard Cohen and John "I think the next song I write will be about the U.S.A." Mellencamp were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Remember that bitching rock record Madonna kicked out a few years back? What was it called? "Erotica" I think. And who can forget that killer guitar solo she did on "Vogue". What a rock legend. To commemorate the first lady

"Fade To Static: Listening to the Radio" is a short film directed by Tyrone Tanous. Not only is it a really neat film but it also features cameos by x-440r'er DJ Steak (aka the original DJ Pink Sweatshirt), Iann Robinson (fmrly of

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pB41vU3ypPU Whistle made "Buggin'" 22 years ago, and it's still fresh from the oven! I'd never seen the video before. It's a real mind-blower. If I knew the first thing about blogger I'd make it so you don't have to click the link, but I don't, so you have to click it. The guy in the jamz shorts and fur cap reminds me of TD.

Big Digits' third release, SMOKE MACHINES IN LAZERVISION, is now a year old. This time seems as good as any to finally organize some of the tracks and isolate some acappellas. Here's 7 songs I still had on my laptop: Big Digits - "Waste of Time" (acappella) [140 bpm] Big Digits - "World Iz Yourz" (acappella) [191 bpm] Big Digits - "Cocoon Lagoon" (acappella) [132 bpm] Big Digits - "

Tibetan Jam of the Summer 2007

The man to the left was THE hottest act of the summer in Lhasa. His VCD-- the preferred format for music in Tibet, with videos accompanying each song-- features none of the convenient English subtitling of the other hot acts of Summer '07, like Drigung's "Pleasant Song", Pema'z's "Dream Lover", or Phurbu T. Namgyal's "Love Story", so I have no idea what his name is, or what the songs are about,
