Re: 2008 so far.
wow thanks dubman, love this. gonna have a couple posts but here's a few i've been itching to discuss
steinski - what does it all mean? 1983 2006 Retrospective
Steinski is the guy who surprised everyone by dragging is fat, white, ad executive ass into tommy boy records to claim his first place prize for best hip hop mix. While not being ghetto, or even interested in the ghetto/gangsta/post-colonial aesthetic might keep him from seeming authentic, he shines by just being that guy who lives for block parties. The freedom from having to prove his street heritage gives him the leverage to mix in things like casablanca, bullwinkle, and even glenn gary glenn ross, on top of the standard james brown, sugar hill, fare. Some of it will sound dated but that only adds magnetude to the instant smile vector
A+
king khan & his shrines - The supreme genius of king khan
russ meyer films done bollywood style comes to mind, with some strange pseudo black occultism mixed in. That's the real feel of this album and king khan, going from pure schlock and smirk to something so authentic is truly genius. we'll see if it stands the test of time or if it is fated to be just another gimmick on an urban outfitters display table.
A-
