Not really my bag but a decent listen nonetheless for those into more "backpack," underground sounds, check out The Purest Form album by the all-Asian, co-ed hip hop group Organic Thoughts. If you're into stuff like Dilated Peoples, Camp Lo, Digable Planets and Bahamadia, this might be right up your alley. Features collabos with Prince Po of Organized Konfusion and Large Professor on the excellent "World Renowned." Good lookin' to Lucy from Elemental for the hook-up once again. True School heads need to investigate this.
Speaking of the True School, the 2nd Annual International Beatbox Convention jumps off today and tomorrow at CBGB's in NYC hosted by hip hop legend Doug E. Fresh. Those outisde of New York may be able to watch the event online via CBGB's website here.
Another option for online shopping for 12" wax new and old via Vinyl Stitching.

And finally is this the new Roots single? It's got a bit of a Dirty, Dirty vibe which is unexpected: "Don't Say Nothin'" (mp3 link via hiphopsite.com)
