Some A list items to share…

Drexciya Research Lab bubbled up some essential reading with a Drexciya printerview from Groovesmag. Unleashing Storms Unto The World by Nick Phillips. A moodmatian slice follows:

Now, hell, there are so many different music groups, so many categories, so many styles. You’re always hearing something new, like somebody […]

After several inquiries, an online petition, a Facebook group and a couple phone calls to our various mobile devices, the staff of Moodmat has finally caved in to the public’s request and have issued forth our first attempt at a muxtape.
We here at Moodmat Sonic Research Facility realize that the demand has been great, and […]

Being down with the C30, C60, C90 Go junto, I must share my enthusiasm for Innersounds introduction of encoded mixtape sharing.
The kick off joint titled “Soulful Slowness” ranges through styles and sounds with analogous mood(mats). Along your way through the crowd, you’ll rub big shoulders with Earl Zero and Johnny Osbourne, […]

Dear Apple,
You have helped make podcasting mainstream. You have made it fairly easy to subscribe and download episodes. But when it comes to organizing them and synching with one’s iPod, you remind me of Microsoft.

Give us more options, and have them open to us for each individual podcast, not for every last one we listen […]

How that same program continues on, even as its main host, London Elektricity’s Tony Colman, takes the summer off to work on a new album.
Other artists on the Hospital roster have been filling in, and doing an excellent job. I know if it […]

The resonation began with a well chosen N.W.A. lyric for their blog post title and continued with a deliciously sarcastic quip, but that was just the lead in for the rest of the empassioned words flying out in a sermon by those “skeptic motherfuckers” from 20jazzfunkgreats.blogspot.com.
It is in part a denunciation of “the current crop […]

Now that Teep introduced that neat little radio.blog tool, I thought it was time to offer up that Father’s Day list my iPod dished up to me all random-like. Okay, I prodded and skipped a bit, but for the most part the motherlode was a shuffled hour of pure summer goodness.
Have a listen.
Father’s Day Motherlode […]

I’m so busted.
On the heels of our maiden playlist, “Point Blank,” I’ve got a lot of nerve diving in to a single genre so deeply. Especially when I had referred to it in terms of its supposed defectors, as if it were somehow irrelevant.
I’m not sure how I stumbled upon the Hospital Records podcast, but […]

Much like his saurian namesake, Diplo is plodding through popular culture with great mass and momentum. One of his latest contributions is “Mad Decent World Wide Radio”: part mix-show podcast, part anthropology feed. It’s found a happy home on my iPod.
“Mad Decent” is also the name of his new label, and even though I’m pretty […]
