SAFARi Sound: The Arabian Nights Mixtape

SAFARi Sound just dropped their latest pon di Soundcloud. Hottest Dancehall jawns and a gang of exclusives. Million Stylez hosts with Shirkhan and...

Dummy Mix 31: Walls
Recommended Listening / Mixtape
Shame on me for sleeping on Walls debut last year. Their latest, Coracle, hasn’t left the Samsung since I got the promo at The Lab a few months ago.
This is a mix they did in April of 2010 for Dummy Mag.
Kraut / Weirdo / Shoegazey music for any occasion.
To download the mix, you must learn.

Introducing Lytro
(photo taken from Petapixel)
Though I don’t now many photographers, I suspect most of them are tech nerds such as myself.
We have been hearing about a new camera system that allows you to “shoot first and focus later” for a few months now, but up until last week no one had seen the finished product. There have been a few photos of the camera in use, unfortunately looking...

All Music Loves 1991
Recommended Reading
My personal go to source for researching music new and old, All Music, posted their latest in the “Loves” series. With the amazing 4 LP reissue of Nirvana’s Nevermind celebrating the 20th anniversary (yeah, crazy) it only makes sense for them to cover such a triumphant year in all things music.
I was planning on having a list of my personal faves ready to...

WatchIce Hockey by Larry Cohen
Well with new responsibilities at work, I had to neglect MMM last week and this should have gone up then. Regardless, we are still here and this post is something to not skip over.
Larry Cohen, director of this fine short film, yours truly, and Ghostdad enjoyed a delicious vegan meal late last week and he announced to us the staff at Vimeo front paged Ice Hockey and...

Locrian: The Clearing
Recommended Listening / Black Metal
One of my favorite Black Metal bands right now, Locrian, has a new album coming out on Nov 1st! If you didn’t get last year’s The Crystal World, you are missing out on one of the best albums of the year and one of the best Black Metal records ever. How can something so scary be so pretty?
To pre-order The Clearing, you must learn.

Hifana: Half & Hanbun
DJ Nerdery
Stoked on the new Stokyo pressing from Japan’s very own Hifana. Half & Hanbun is another split sided Serato pressing this time with the scratch nerds in mind. One side offers the usual control tone and the other 16 different scratch loops for your bedroom shenanigans.
I know people… well A person that collects Serato pressings and this one comes in 3 different neon...

Cute Phones
This was just announced yesterday and I am kind of SUPER into it. I have had smart phones for years now and I know the extent of what American phones have in store for us (see Japan / S. Korea 4 years ago). Therefor, I don’t mind have something in the mid range department that allows most everything those phones can do, albeit a little slower or maybe without as much real estate to play...

Minimal Wave: Sympathy Nervous
Recommended Listening / Minimal Wave / Kraut
Speaking of Minimal Wave, this is one of the four new releases slated in the next month or so.
Sympathy Nervous is Japanese artist Yosihumi Niinuma.
The album pulls from early synth pioneers as much as it does push the sound (for the time). Unfortunately, his home with home made sequencers and all archives of his work were washed away during the...

Tokyo Rising with Pharrell
Recommended Watching
I have been meaning to post this for some time, but kept putting it off until I watched it completely.
The Palladium Boots sponsored video series follows Pharrell of The Neptunes / N.E.R.D. to Tokyo to meet with some of it’s iconic artists / designers / musicians post 3/11 disaster.
This is definitely fun to watch, but I can’t help but feel a little upset...

Needle Exchange 071: Anika
Recommended Listening / Post Punk
Stones Throw’s Anika seems to always come to New York and I always seem to miss her. We had her on Turntable Lab Radio earlier this year and I STILL MISSED HER!
Regardless of our paths not crossing I can still enjoy her from afar, with her self-titled Geoff Barrows produced album and mixtapes.
This is an all vinyl set from Anika for Self-Titled...

I wish all the Starbucks in the Houston area would adopt southern slang and use it in their adverts. Always on my grind.

Pretty excited about this. Go get some Takoyaki from my people and then get your record shopping handled.
Hoping to grab an early copy of some new Minimal Wave releases and wishing some of these labels have some exclusive stuff.

Random Thought
New Yorkers leaving a place are superior to those that are entering said place.
Think of this as you walk down the crowded stairs on the “correct” side and you are greeted by a wall of people with no regard to being cordial.
This is not an anti New York rant, it’s just a comment on social aptitude.
