Friday Finds: Foreign Beggars / Brother Ali / Constrobuz
The end of another week! So, what do I have for you within this inaugural edition of Friday Finds? Well, check this exclusive studio footage from Foreign Beggars, arguably the best UK hip-hop group around today. What you’re seeing is a sneak peak, via their Dented Records Studios in London, from their upcoming album, United Colours of Beggattron – due out in October. By the sounds of things it should be a pretty heavy record indeed, and I wouldn’t expect anything less from Foreign … [read more]

Track Of The Week: Exile – The Sound Is God
As I write these words I realise more and more that the title of this piece should have just been Album Of The Week. I’m talking bout the new release by Exile called Radio. Out recently on Plug Research, this masterful instrumental hip-hop album strikes a chord on many, many levels. I first heard Exile‘s work via his track In The Night 22 from 2007′s From L.A. With Love compilation – I was totally addicted to the track and am still greatly … [read more]

Track of the Week
What can I say about this past week? Well between long days and long train journeys, this blog took the back-seat. But, in the words of Yazz; the only way is up! Just needed to get into the swing of this new routine – I have a track of the week for you though. One track I have been listening to loads recently is Peach, Plum, Pear, from Joanna Newsom‘s 2004 album The Milk-Eyed Mender (it’s better than the version found on Walnut … [read more]

Track of the Week
Friday already?! Sorry for the total lack of posts this week, including the heinous crime of missing Sunday’s Unearthing MySpace Gems – promise I wont do it again. Anyway, how about TM Juke‘s new album Forward?! Heard it yet? It’s really good, although it took me two listens to arrive at that blunt conclusion. It’s different from Maps From The Wilderness but maintains the Juke funky style. Alice Russell features on one track again, but this new album also sees guest appearances from … [read more]

Track of the Week
The weekend is upon us all once more and I have for you my track of the week. Being in Australia can often mean we get certain things a little later than the rest of the western world, one such thing being the new Doctor Who series – and I mean the one with Christopher Eccleston! Anyway I think it is class, but one thing I think they should have done is use Orbital‘s version of the Doctor Who theme tune – missed opportunity! … [read more]

Track of the Week
Today’s track of the week (or tracks of the week) comes from an album I got just a week ago, and it is easily a nomination for album of the year, as far as I am concerned. Some have described it as romantic electronica, and don’t be fooled, it is far from being as cheesy as it already sounds! I’m talking about Daedelus and his latest album Denies The Day’s Demise. Released this year on Ninja Tune, it really is 15 tracks of pure … [read more]

Track of the Week
Today’s track of the week is from a UK hip-hop album that dropped in 2002. The fella that produced the album has now actually moved to America, but more on that in a bit. UK hip-hop is a funny old thing, lots of different sounds and interests, but sadly it quite often goes unnoticed by the masses – which is fine for all those “keep it underground” kinda folks, but sometimes it would be nicer for the deserving artists to get a bit more attention. … [read more]

Track of the Week
Today I thought I’d share an indie pop/folk track from the latest Regina Spektor album Begin To Hope. I actually heard the track Samson absolutely ages ago, and I love it, but… I only recently checked out this album. It’s like falling in love all over again. First Samson and now Fidelity – although it is worth mentioning that the whole album is strong and another fav of mine is On The Radio – but for you today…

Track of the Week
Been another quiet week, and for that I am sorry, so I’ll try and give you plenty of value for your money(!) today. Just really want to start by reiterating an urgent plea from the mother of a very poorly little fella in the UK…
7 year old Keiton Knight was initially diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia, but very recently that has sadly turned into Acute Myeloidblastic Leukaemia and now he must have a Bone marrow Transplant. Time is running out for Keiton and … [read more]
