May I present you a new video from one of the great white norths best. I don't mean Canada.

Rythem is Rythem - The Strings of Life

The Strings of Life the definitive classic cut of House Music. It has everything that makes House Music great. In this Youtube video from FigFilm, Derrick May (AKA Rythem is Rythem) describes how he struck a cord with "The Strings of Life."



"... The mistake is that I did it to begin with, that was the mistake."'




Thanks for making the mistake.

Art is Beautiful, So is Life

I just finished China China Mieville's book The City and the City. Its a great mystery, and it raises philosophical questions. That's one of the things I love about art. When you look at a painting, read a book, or listen to a tune and it reaches into your head and flicks a switch. That point at which the metaphor and craft kick it together and fire a sequence of neurons that leaves you looking at the world in a whole new way.

Some times education works the same way those series of neurons fire and you wind up looking at art a new way. Charles Mudede, a writer for The Stranger does just that for me in his latest Slog post.

If nothing else I am going to use this as an opportunity to post a YouTube of "The Strings of Life." A house classic and anthem of unforgettable magnitude.

Om Mangalam- Kambakkt Ishq

This movie looks whack, but the song is pretty off the hook.

Looks Dope

The Avett Brothers

The Avett Brothers put on one of the best live shows I've seen in the last few years and I see a lot of shows for my job. They should be one of the top Country acts but Country radio being what it is, they'll have to plow their way without support from big radio. Check them out and show them some love. The easily deserve it.

I am so getting this tomorrow!

This is just about the hottest thing ever. I saw a copy in my local gamestop and didn't pick it up. However, After watching this video and reading a couple of reviews on Amazon, I simply must rock it sooner rather then later.

Keep it locked for an indepth review, later.

Bit of tea with that?

British ryhmeslinger Kano brings a bit of hybrid track with "Hustler." Its one part British hip-hop, and two parts American Gangster Rap. I loved the video for "Huster's" play on gangster rap videos. You'll notice they are making music not drugs. There is also an interesting parallel in the videos use of drug business metaphors and the lyrical content of the song which seem to come together into an overall critique of the music industry. It's almost Mos Def like.

Its high grade dope, and these rhymes are addictive.
