tuesdaytuesdaytuesday! get IN THE MIX and dig on some of b3sci’s fav happenin and not long past cuts. also, shouts to monica for being the only person i know to ever capture a mascot ritual in action! not all of us can be so lucky!
this week’s ‘IN THE MIX’ features, “Friday in Paris,” a new track from The Strange Boys’ forthcoming Be Brave LP which drops monday next week. we’ve also got another favorite cut from The Soft Packs’ self-titled debut, in addition to a new gem from Starless and Bible Black, a UK based group on Chicago’s Locust Music label.
what up, world? it’s new music tuesday! pass the pizza! “deadbeat” is new from ny guitar combo a place to bury strangers. the song RIPS and is our favorite from the just released “exploding head” LP. the title of “the best”, a new collaboration between lil’ wayne, kanye west, t.i. and jhey-z, is likely a bit of an overstatement; as we’re sort of “lukewarm” about the song. and despite his verse being what 6 bars?, tip (and it ain’t even close) is still on top form and again EASILY wins this collab. our man in the d, mayer hawthorne, released his debut LP “a strange arrangement” last month. the silky smooth “shiny and new” shines as one of many highlights on the record.
tuesday morning? young buck is fuckin amped! “lord have mercy” features the outlaws and puts mr ten a key up on a smooth as shit, buttery beat. (where buck right belongs) shouts to wyatt! hudson mohawke, freshly inked to warp records, resurrects the rotting r&b corpse of turn of the millennium timbo provocateur tweet. hudmo 2009’s “oooops!” with a pulsing electro beat and some killer synth flourishes. lastly, 20 years into game de la soul continue to school mc’s half their ages. “la la la” again proves de la in top form; flowing effortlessly over a beat that is both complimentary and compelling.
it’s a new music blowout! everything must go! everything! here are three tunes we’re really feeling here at b3sci HQ. the hickey underworld comes to us straight outta belgium with some seriously killer RIFFS, get back honky cat! second, “pretty brown eyes” by r&b power plant amerie, the song features trey songz and pretty much owns anything on the latest mariah/mary j boring albums. and last, we’re not exactly sure what the fuck washed out is but we’re pretty sure we have it in deep rotation! september 17, 2009, don’t player hate, participate.
