heavy eyelids

a little soundtrack for a quiet Sunday evening. A break from our hectic, debauchery-filled schedule and usual subject matter. A little something to relax and vibe to. Old and new tunes weaving into each other.

B.O.B - Lovelier Than You

He's enjoyed a well-deserved surge in popularity recently. Bobby Ray is a breath of fresh air for hip-hop, and anything I say is just rehashing what other blogs and magazines have mentioned before. He has the swagger, the songwriting ability and the talent of a modern day Andre 3000, and will probably blow the fuck up pretty soon, if there is any justice in this world. This is a soft ballad, quite unlike his usual shit, but that just shows his versatility, in my opinion. Dope stuff.

Eek-A-Mouse- Bitty Bong Bong (Ganja Smuggling)

Early early, Sunday morning, it was a big ganja smuggling. A classic reggae tune to add to your collection.

The Cowsills- Hair

1969 counter-culture anthem. Say what?

Malajube- Pâte Filo (Fissure)

For the long-time readers of the blog (and most Montrealers), the name Malajube should seem pretty familiar. They are an awesome francophone quartet out of Montreal, who've released two fantastic albums that I recommend, even if you don't speak french. Give it a listen, I'm pretty sure you'll love it. Indie rock at its best.

Lunice- Perpetual Leisure

Local boy Lunice, one of the few Montrealers chosen to be in the recently finished Red Bull Music Academy, is a rising star. He's part of the LuckyMe fam (Hudson Mohawke's label) and part of the Turbo Crunk crew (I'm pretty sure I've seen him DJ before). The dude is like a futuristic instrumental hip-hop/bass music prodigy. His beats are spacey sonic odysseys, the sonic equivalent of hot-boxing a spaceship. I've included a link to his myspace, because you know I love supporting that local talent. Ya diggg.

DJ Static- Mr Fantastic

Probably the only time you'll ever catch us posting breakbeats on this blog. I am not a b-boy, nor do I enjoy backpacker stuff like Cal, but this song is fuckin' grooooovy.

We'll get back to the usual content tomorrow.

'Evening, all.
