musical rush
There's been a mad musical rush in February, so far. It's almost as if I'm behind and need to do a little catching up. What makes it even better, however, is that I'm hoping this is the way that the year turns out, because 2003 was a little limp. Check it:
- There's the radio blogging thing that's hit everyone in full force....from Prime, Karsh, S-Train, Buccho, and myself, there's a musical cornucopia going on in the oh fresh. I'm waiting for a couple of more music-centric people to join in on the Radio Blog train, because there's lots out there.
- S-Train, a while back, had mentioned the 1997 recording of H.O.T.E.P. on his Blog Radio. As I'm sitting here listening to it at work, I'm waiting for Gloria and Emilio Estevan to walk through the door with him and jam right here in the middle of the joint. I like it, really I do.
- Then S-Train mentions Feed The Cat, and it's on Amazon backorder. After hearing the one joint on his Radio Blog, I had to pick it up.
- Seek just came through the mail, so now I'm all geeked out over that CD.
- Gldnspce and I are feeling Jason Mraz. Again, the pot is getting full.
- I got a copy of The Grey Album and I was demanded that I review that pronto.
- Then, I started listening to Kanye and now I'm in complete agreement with Magic Negro that this is indeed dope. I would be remiss if I didn't review it this week.
With a total of 6 CDs to review, I think I'm in overload heaven. In which order should I review these? Anything else I forgot, people? Bring it on!

» Nasty Radio from Life With Buccho
For the last two days I've been enjoying what may be the best radio blog mix I've ever heard besides EJ's Jukebox (variety is the spice of life). My man, Mike has a nice selection, including some tunes I were... [Read More]

I'd do dangermouse as well - I don't even know where to start with it so *I'm* remiss, to borrow your perfect term, to touch it as well. Love to see what you have to say.

I just wrote a review of Kanye myself, which might be the main reason I come out of hiatus a little earlier than I expected. No one will care what I think of this CD in a few weeks.

Grey album rocks. If you're into that disc you should check out "Listening is Easy Vol. 1" by DJ Z-Trip. (www.djztrip.com) The disc was never released but you can find it through his web site forum or if you can't find it, maybe I'll stick it up on my blog. Let me know if you have trouble. Although not 100% hiphop, he mixes groups like AC/DC with Aguilera, DMC with Madonna, etc.

I finally picked up the Maroon 5 album. The jury is still out on it but I'm liking most of it.
