Snag This: Five Tracks from MC Frontalot

Its been too long, dearies. So I bring some MC Frontalot, nerdcore rhymer. He has amazing beats and really unique lyrical content. The best part about Front is he posts his music on his site for free download.

Grab These: tracks from Gotan Project

Queremos Pas by Gotan Project
Santa Marian (Del Buen Ayre) by Gotan Project
Una Musica Brutal by Gotan Project
El Capitalismo Foraneo by Gotan Project

I honestly can't describe the Gotan Project other than slick. Perhaps a more chilled out and accessible Massive Attack. But with Latin roots maybe. Their music is often used on Nip/Tuck. These tracks are from La Revancha del Tango.

Back now.

I ain't dead, motherfuckers.

Ok. So I really really like mash ups. More than one should, probably. Mashuptown.com is where I have culled most of my collection.

Today's sampling. Q Unit. Queen plus 50 Cent equals crazy awesome. I hate 50. But this is just too good. It scares me a little. I wish I could tell you who mixed this.

Ten Tracks by the Clash

The album that changed me the most is the US version of the Clash's debut. In terms of punk, most people are quick to talk about just how amazing the Sex Pistols were and how much Never Mind the Bollocks....is an important record. While I agree it is a significant album, to me the Sex Pistols were more about aesthetics while the Clash's career, which has many albums and not one, has more weight. The Clash encompass an experimentation in music. It was just punk, but it was ska, reggae and dub too. I think I am more content with the Clash because their is a whole lot more to their catalog. The Pistols had their moment. And in some ways, they were more of a cultural phenom then technical musicians. The Sex Pistols live in the myth of Sid and Nancy. And the Clash is a reflection of the times in England. The racism, the lack of jobs, the living in run down houses. The Clash will always be the most important band to me. I may love Depeche Mode more in different ways, but I never forget how the Clash altered my being.

You should watch the Clash documentary Westway to the World. I think you might like it.
