TRP: Three months old, 100 posts young. Thanks to all our readers for all the hitz and downloads (and the comments, nasty and nice, we like em all!). Now lets open them presents.
Yuksek - Sorry [alt link]
Something else French in English, hip and naaaasty.
Gilberto Gil & Jorge Ben - Taj Mahal [alt link]
My (and Rod Stewart's) favorite Tropicalia song (thanks Hunto!)
Stardust - Music Sound Better With You, video by Michel Gondry (YouTube)
So Solid Screw -21 Seconds [alt link]
One of my favorite Grime tracks, this goes back to Summer '01. Did you see me on the video? Ho, no. Doin it real big this week with 2step and the GAYRage. If you like this stuff drop a comment and I'll do a big garage post.
DC Snipers - Note to Self [alt link]
And now to end with something completely different. This is that hot new NJ shit, seems to me that DC snipers are the coolest band in the Garden State right now. Mixing Flipper, Gang of Four, and, uh, murder, these guys have crafted an epic masterpiece of sludge and fuck on their debut full-length, Missile Sunset (buy it here). It came out about a year ago but has only been heard I think in small circles.. another gift from Hunto but I heard it first on the WFMU cherry blossom clinic over the summer (in fact, you can listen to a live set the Snipers did for that fine program at FMU archives). Definitely keep this on yr radar.
No Last.Fm right now, its doing a poor job of hiding how much blink ive listened to this week
