Songs for Sunday

by Mark Jackson on February 21st, 2010

I was going to post the new flylo track simply because it is a new flylo track, but then I thought, “do people really want to listen to this on a Sunday?” For people like me that answer would be yes, but not everybody listens to spaced out electronica on the reg. So here’s some [...]

New Broken Social Scene – “World Sick”

by Mark Jackson on February 19th, 2010

Broken Social Scene are putting out a new album in May called Forgiveness Rock Record, and “World Sick” is the first song that’s been released from it. Head over to their MySpace to download the track and check their tour dates. p.s. sorry for the downtime, my brother hosts the site and he let the [...]

New Lupe Fiasco – “What U Want”

by Mark Jackson on February 10th, 2010

FINALLY! Some fresh, new, and apparently confirmed material off LASERS, his upcoming album that is yet to see a release date, although it shouldn’t be long. The most obvious things to say are that 1) it’s very chill, and 2) Lupe SINGS! Download: Lupe Fiasco – “What U Want” / Mediafire Will keep you updated [...]

Four Tet – “Circling”, “She Just Likes To Fight”

by Mark Jackson on February 10th, 2010

These couple tracks are off his latest album There Is Love In You, which just came out in January. Very peaceful.

old Saint Etienne – “Been So Long”

by Mark Jackson on February 9th, 2010

I felt guilty making a post with no music, so here’s a Saint Etienne track that should make you put you in a good Tuesday mood, whatever that is.

MPthrees: Squirrelhouse – “All That Shit”, “Jolene”

by Mark Jackson on February 5th, 2010

I was a bit pessimistic when the drum beat kicked in on this first song ’cause we’ve all heard it a million times over, but it builds. Hold on if you can because once it gets into the second track you can really start to understand what these guys are trying to do. The songs [...]

The Radio Dept. – Clinging to a Scheme

by Mark Jackson on February 5th, 2010

The band’s upcoming album Clinging to a Scheme will be their first in four years, although there is some confusion as to why it’s been so long… according to Wikipedia, the album was planned to be released in September 2008 but for some reason it was delayed after an EP was released a few months [...]

Freddie Cruger

by Mark Jackson on February 3rd, 2010

Closing out a trio of hip-hop posts, we have ourselves a fine, and I mean fine, piece of  jazz/hip-hop/r&b. Just Chillin’ In The Spot is a 2008 album from Freddie Cruger aka Red Astaire, an old-school rapper, and it’s as wholesome, crafty, and listenable as they come. Think back to the last old school hip-hop [...]

CunninLynguists – Strange Journey Vol. 2

by Mark Jackson on January 31st, 2010

Welcome to the world of real hip-hop, if you haven’t been here before. CunninLynguists are a trio who formed about 10 years ago, and since then they’ve been putting out albums of really high quality, and there’s no sign of slowing. Their seventh and eighth albums were released last year, and both are pretty damn [...]

Soundbombing II

by Mark Jackson on January 28th, 2010

Sorry for not posting for a while. I’ve been listening to a bunch of older stuff recently, mainly hip-hop, so expect more of this kind of stuff to come shortly. To start, here’s one of the more popular tracks off Soundbombing II, an album released by Rawkus Records in 1999. It features a really long [...]
