The Walkmen: While I Shovel The Snow

The Walkmen stay winning.

Miguel: All I Want Is You

Man, I slept big time on this song in that it came out last year. But damn! This track bangs ridiculous -produced by Salaam Remi so you already know.

Better late than never.

No wonder it had to be flipped here for a Fugees remix. The track is too slick to ignore...

Radiohead Drops

Radiohead's The King Of Limbs can be heard in it's entirety here.

It's compact at eight songs deep and runs at a concise 37 minutes.

DJ Premier

Primo elaborates on 38 of his "classics". I wouldn't necessarily call all of the tracks he speaks on classics but they do include the ones you'd expect. There are definitely tracks that are left out that I think are no brainers (list is too long) but I don't think Primo really had the input. I could be wrong.

But still,

Essential

The Black Keys on NPR's Fresh Air

I'm a little late getting to this interview with Black Keys but it's a great conversation with some very insightful and funny stuff. The tour story from early on in their career is hilarious. Terry Gross is a fantastic interviewer as usual, probably the best at what she does.

The Bamboo Brothers: Beyond The Sensation

Heard this premiered on Real Late w/ Pete Rosenberg some time back. Glad to see Kurious still doing his thing.

Track courtesy of the mighty Pete Rock. He kicks the last verse on the final cut but we don't get it here. A PR banger nonetheless.

A J-Dilla Birthday

"J.Dilla: Still Shining"

The Dopeness Son!

I don't have anything from The Homeboy Sandman. I've seen stuff written about him but never really read them and probably never will. But this cut is serious. He causes much damage on this scorcher of a track - absolutely love the horn loop.
