I hope you’ve all had a good week? Still, Friday now, so whatever the excuse it is time to let go and do what you do when you’re not doing what you’re otherwise normally doing. I think you get the message. So, track of the week time. This artist is, to me, the epitome of alternative emceeing and alternative hip-hop. His style is pretty much like no other. I’m referring to Aesop Rock, and in particular the track Daylight…

Have you seen the film The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou? Well you should have. Definitely one of my favourite films anyway, and stars the mighty Bill Murray. But… it also features a lot of acoustic music with singing in Portuguese. That was Seu Jorge, he played the part of Pelé dos Santos in The Life Aquatic, the ship’s safety man, but mainly all he did in the film was sing songs. But the special thing about these songs was the fact he was … [read more]
Trying to keep within the current cultural themes, and seeing as the Germans are doing such a splendid job hosting the World Cup, this weeks’ track is from a German hip-hop producer… Comfort Fit.

This week has been a strange one, mainly due to my World Cup induced sleep deprevation, but yet here we are, Friday again! This week the track is from someone I've already recently talked about, but this is a different track to the two I previously put up for download…

I've come to the conclusion that the reason I haven't been giving you 'new' tracks as my Track of the Week is because when I discover a new track or artist, I tend to make a separate blog entry about them – then it doesn't feel right making the track of the week a track by an artist I only mentioned a few days previously. God, I'm so damn considerate. Anyway, another classic track for you this week…
Aim – Cold Water Music

I'm sure you've all heard enough about my current time restraints, so I wont bore you, other than to say this weeks Track of the Week is once again not a new track. However, as I'm sure you are all aware, not new doesn't ever mean not good – alas this week's track is a belter…
Xploding Plastix – Donca Matic

Haven't had much chance to listen to new music this week, working up quite a backlog! Damn puppy! So aside from things I've already recommended recently (Gotye, DangerDoom, Broadway Project, Nostalgia 77), there isn't much else – hence, I'm digging in to the old classic vault once more.
This weeks track is from a two-some that I don't think I hear enough about; Ratatat. The track in question is Everest, from the self-titled 2004 album.

Decided to go for another not-so-new track this week…

I've heard a few different covers of Seven Nation Army, but when I first heard this version (on a mix-tape) my jaw nearly hit the floor. I instantly knew it was Alice Russell on … [read more]
This is the first of my weekly entries that will be known as "Track of the Week". Basically each Friday I will post my favourite and/or most played track of the week. Sometimes it might be an old track, other times it might be new – either way, it will just be my favourite track of the last week. Who knows, maybe every once in a while it will be a track you've never heard before and will change your life forever! Or something … [read more]
