Album Covers in Action

I never did post this when it first premiered on the net, but it's so fresh that it still deserves some play. Jay-Z teams with Rhapsody to recreate his album covers in honor of the release of his latest effort, Blueprint 3 which you can catch my thoughts on over at the home base!

Wax Poetics: If You Don't Know, Now You Do!

If you love music get this magazine! The next issue will be a tribute to the King of Pop himself. Now you may be thinking, can there really be anymore said about the man? If Wax Po's past tribute issues (James Brown, J Dilla) are any indication, this should be something unlike that which has ever been seen.

Mayer Hawthorne! He's coming to town...

Could there really be a better place for Mayer Hawthorne to stand in front of? I think not! Delivering his own modern brand of Northern Soul and burning down stages across the country, if you are in PDX this Friday be sure to catch him at Jimmy Maks! And cop that album, A Strange Arrangement in stores now on Stones Throw records.


A great slow burner, sounds crisp and crackly on wax - LOVE IT!


The lead single, I regret not getting that heart shaped 12" now! Enjoy the tune and peep the Dam Funk cameo at 2:09 stealing Mr. Hawthorne's girl.

Macklemore is Back!

Many thanks to OFS for hipping me to this! Macklemore was one of the first Seattle artists I ever heard and The Language of My World still gets play to this day. Glad to see he is making new music again! Enjoy the above video and peep out this other leak all about The Town.
