The Black Keys Announce New Album, Tour Dates
A million garage-rock fans pumped their fists in unison and smoked a cigarette as endlessly cool blues-rock duo The Black Keys announced that they will be releasing their sixth studio album this May. Entitled Brothers, this album comes as a follow-up to their hip-hop collaboration album Blakroc, which is a favorite around the Axiom. Apparently, […]
First Show over, Weezy too Hott to handle
After much obsessing, running around, and song editing, the BreakBeat Axiom Radio show went on the air yesterday (or perhaps today, depending on where you put midnight to 1 am). The entire day was plagued by technical issues (Murphy’s Law for the win), ever since I started editing Q-tip’s Won’t Trade for radio use. I’m […]
Reflection Eternal Video Preview!
So by now, EVERYONE should be hyped about the new Reflection Eternal album that’s been years in the waiting (for me anyway). The adroit team of MC Talib Kweli and producer Hi-Tek are reuniting, finally, to lay down some serious hip-hop magic, and they’ve just released a preview video. Check it out: It’s saying a […]
The Roots Announce the 2010 Picnic Lineup
As if the cheese-steaks weren’t reason enough to trek down to Philly, the icon of cool use of punctuation, ?uestlove, has announced the lineup for the third annual Roots Picnic Hometown Festival, which includes Nneka, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Mayer Hawthorne, the Very Best, Tuneyards, Das Racist, Bajah and the Dry Eye Crew, Pattern Is Movement, […]
Good grief! DJ Danger Mouse is Back.
Well folks, time to grab an extra pair of underwear because it looks like DJ Danger Mouse, a.k.a. Brian Burton, a.k.a. the musical genius behind the iconic Jay-Z/Beatles mash-up The Grey Album, and the production half of Gnarls Barkley has released something new to blow our collective minds. This time, Danger Mouse has collaborated with […]
Nyle “Let The Beat Build” Video
Easy T sent me this video (courtesy of her main man, Kool Keith) and it seemed worth sharing, so here it is (apparently I was living under a rock and missed this): The artist, Nyle Emerson, did this during his senior year at NYU for a school project. It’s amazing what a $2,000 NYU grant, […]
The Sound of That Funky Drummer: DJ Funktual explains samples
Ever since the Sugar Hill Gang released Rapper’s Delight in 1979, the first popular single to feature sampling (they sampled Good Times by Chic), artists have been dusting off that vinyl to snag hooks, beats, drops, and whatever else can give their sound some of that old school flavor. It should come as no surprise […]
Justin Bieber, the Anti-Christ
There are many ideas of how the end of days will play out: an anti-Christ will appear and throw the world in chaos, starting a war that will kill everyone; nuclear holocaust; a cast of angels will come down and purge the wicked with flaming swords and those terrifying spike balls on chains; Gozer the […]
George Clinton and Parliament-Funkadelic at House of Blues Boston
George Clinton and PFunk will be playing at the House of Blues tomorrow, February 19. I don’t think I even have to write a description of this group, who are essentially the musical forefathers of everything cool from the last 30 years. But in case you are unfamiliar with the group: Forget George Clinton’s rainbow hair and […]
True.
“And what gift of America to the rest of the world is actually most appreciated by the rest of the world? It is African-American jazz and its offshoots. What is my definition of jazz? ‘Safe sex of the highest order.’” – Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.
New Erykah Badu single is Awesome, features Baby Alien.
This is a little late, but perpetually cool human being Erykah Badu has released the video for her second single off the upcoming New Amerykah, Part II: Return of the Ankh. Entitled “Jump in the Air (Stay There)”, the song features my current least-favorite, but globally embraced MC Lil’ Wayne. Both the song and the […]
Wu-Tang Clan Meets the Beatles: Why Not?
Tom Caruana, producer extraordinaire and big boss of the uber-hip Tea Sea Records, just released his latest project: a remix album featuring acapella rhymes from the Wu-Tang Clan layered over novel beats that sample Beatles songs. (Props to Dan and Rachel for the head’s up!) Entitled Wu-Tang vs. The Beatles: Enter the Magical Mystery Chamber, the album […]
People Under the Stairs at the Middle East!
Following quickly on the heels of Wale and friends, L.A.’s premier underground hip-hop duo, People Under the Stairs (also known as PUTS), will be performing at the Middle East in Central Sq tomorrow. Honestly, I’m not sure how these guys have managed to stay “underground”. The two-some, composed of Thes One and Double K, have […]
Will Wale’s Openers Steal my Heart?
Alright, so I already posted about Wale playing at Harper’s here. What I failed to mention in that post, however, is how great I think the openers will be. I’ve spent part of today checking out the three acts that will precede my man Wale, and they seem dope enough to switch my alliances. I […]
