This track started going around on Wednesday (courtesy of Miss Jack Davey herself) and I can’t stop listening to it. Definitely a staple of my playlist this weekend. It features the dream collab of Blu & Jack Davey on a track by L.A.U.S.D. You can download the album sampler here for the upcoming record Curly Tops and Nautica Jackets (out 3/24) which includes iFeel.

Check it out below.

88-Keys Video premieres Monday 3/16

Friday, March 13th, 2009

Just caught a clip of 88-Keys’ video for Stay Up (Viagra) last night on MTV2, and it looks so good. 88-Keys and Kanye go all out with the old man makeup, and from what I’ve seen it looks hilarious. Good to see this record getting some airtime.

While we’re on the subject, I’ve had a little time now to let The Death Of Adam fully digest, and it has to go on my essential list. It’s one of those albums that is great the first time around, but keeps getting better with repeated listens. There’s just too much going on there to absorb it all on the first pass. Now go buy it already! For the record (bad pun), if Decon presses up some more vinyl, I’ll buy another copy. ;)

Anyway, the video for Stay Up looks like it’s getting a big blitz on Monday on MTV networks, and I’m sure it’ll be all over the web too. I don’t think MTV even shows videos anymore, so I would keep an eye on MTV2 or MTV Jams, MTV Hits, etc. MTV2 is running a special premiere sort of deal, so that’s probably the best bet.

88-Keys Mixtape

Monday, February 16th, 2009

Okay, so I was WAY late to the party on this one. I’m sure a lot of people have already heard this record, but consider this a PSA to anyone like me who missed it. Adam’s Case Files (free download at link), the prequel mixtape to 88-Keys’ full length The Death Of Adam is one of the most ridiculously amazing things I’ve heard in a long time.

Here’s the video that got me on track. Caught it on Subterranean on MTV2, of all places to get the scoop on a hip-hop video.

Anyway, this tape could have easily been put out as a record and have been legendary. Where else will you here Andrew Gold, Bonnie Raitt and Dr. Hook in the same mix with Kleeer and Carl Carlton? Check it out, and buy the record The Death Of Adam too. And visit 88-Keys’ blog while you’re at it. His love for PRL outshines even my fixation on Original Penguin.

So, yeah, late to the party. But at least I showed up, right?
