Mayer Hawthorne & The County - "Just Ain't Gonna Work Out"
Due to a weird set of coincidences I'd been home barely a couple of hours in the Tdot yesterday for the holidays and ended up reading about this song, which I had never heard of before today, twice in that time so I checked it out and dug it. And, since it's Stones Throw-affiliated, now I'm sharing it with you:
Mayer Hawthorne & The County - "Just Ain't Gonna Work Out" [direct mp3 link, right click and save as]
I wonder if this record is getting extra attention because of the (possibly) Kanye-inspired limited edition red heart-shaped 45 vinyl? No comment on if this song could apply to recent events in my own life though!

FREE MIXTAPES!!!
'Cos after all the er.... drama with DJ Drama, it's the new way: mixtapes that really are free and "for promotional use only."
DJ's Benja Styles & JDS pres. the What We Do (The Movie) mixtape feat Freeway. (more: the What We Do movie MySpace page)
Jus Ske My Mind is Playin' Tricks On Me - this was sent to me (and apparently others 'cos it was posted on a bunch of blogs already) and I asked who the f-ck this dude was. Apparently he's an NYC DJ but I've never heard of him and I've lived in the city for a while now. Anyway I was told he's down with my dude Mark Ronson so I decided to give him a pass and jump on the bandwagon too. Check this dude's website out as well: his sampling of other well-known websites is some real hip hop sh-t but he better watch himself 'cos he's looking like an easy target for copyright infringement suits.
Jimmie Reign Go Girl mixtape - the next Bay Area soul singer to blow after Keyshia Cole and Goapele? (d/l the artwork here | MySpace)
"Adult Swim"'s Chrome Children 2 featuring Aloe Blacc, MED, Percee P, Arabian Prince and production by Madlib, Oh No and Four Tet. (link via Stones Throw)
