you know, sometimes blogging about all the cultural, philosophical, artsy, and old dusty type shit i’m drawn to gets a bit heavy on the eyelids. thought today i’d link some music related stuff. first off: mastermix.org (via waxy) which offers up some fine, authentic, 1980’s mixes in mp3 format. think kiss f.m., grandmaster flash, herbie hancock, man parrish, etc. get em’ while they’re hot. been meaning to do this with my old w.k.c.r. stretch and bobbito tapes… but well… on to the next thing… for some close up history check out jayquan’s the foundation. he’s got some great tapes, but not available yet. for some more music check out the hype machine an aggregator of tracks posted on audio blogs. speaking of which…

here are some of the audio blogs i check out occasionally, almost all of this batch are soul/funk/hip-hop related…

soul sides “precise laser beam technique to touch something”
(the admiral turned me on to it.)

cocaine blunts. “hippa to da hoppa and ya just don’t stoppa”

ear fuzz “if ya head ain’t bobbin by now either you dead or a mannequin”

we eat so many shrimp “never put me in your box if ya shit eats tapes”

funky 16 corners “more props and stunts than bruce willis”

can i bring my gat? “wanna grab my dick, too lazy, hold it for me”

home of the groove “those that know not doze and it shows”

the naugahyde life “layback on the playback, evolve, rotate the gates”

freemotion “controlled by gamma light”

funk and soul “doo doo doo doo doo, that’s an audio daily double”

the rookie “make the head hurt, from the super duper leg work”

comboplates “casting shadows over the sun for fun”

aurgasm “phone is ringin, oh my god.”

moistworks “C’mon wit da c’mon git down wit da git down”

there are more, but that’s it for tonight. see ya.
