Special (slightly) Indie Pop Edition
While in Boston:
- "Fell In Love With A Girl"
- Ivy league hip hop (!)
- Is Massachusetts ready to elect a Black governor? It could be Deval Patrick's time if MA governor Mitt Romney runs for the GOP presidential nomination in 2008 as expected and/or his approval ratings continue to drop.
Speaking of the The White Stripes though, does anyone else think their new single "Blue Orchid" (which is being blogged about in the indie world as much as Kanye's "Diamonds" is in the hip hop one) sounds like the Scissor Sisters?
Unisex Salon - the best blending of The Strokes and No Doubt that you never thought you'd want to hear produced by Strokes boardsman, Gordon Raphael.
"Have you ever wanted to be a famous dj but you sucked at scratching?"
from the polo fleece to THE JESUS PIECE...
"Keyra Augustina has the hottest ass in the entire world...."
"Be is not a classic album"
Demofay Vol. 1 - the first album by Curse the Darkness, a group featuring David of the Sleep Not Work blog . A lttle too left and backpack-y for me but peep game if the more extreme sounding Def Juxx ish your thing.
BTW, peep the back cover of the Eric B & Rakim's Paid in Full album for a photo of the orginal 50 cent, a Ft. Greene, Brooklyn stick-up kid and street legend named Kelvin Martin, who inspired Curtis Jackson to take on the moniker for his rap career and name his first album Get Rich or Die Tryin'. He's the small cat in the bottom right hand corner with the red adidas baseball hat on....
