Damian Lazarus - Moment {Get Physical}

Be on the lookout for Damian Lazarus' long-awaited album, Smoke The Monster Out, coming out on Get Physical later this year. He's one of the more innovative cats in the game so expect to hear a sound you've never heard before. If the album is anything like the first single, Moment, then it should be nothing short of great.

Mos Def - "Life In Marvelous Times"

Here is Mos Def's new single "Life In Marvelous Times" off his next album​ The Ecsta​tic (due out February 24, 2009). He is still one of my favorite MC's (not like there is much competition these days). Oh how I miss the days of real hip-hop, not the bullshit we hear now.




BONUS:
Here is a video I found of Mos Def performing another track of his new album called 'Auditorium' produced by the great Madlib.

Hot Chip - Transmission (Joy Division Cover)

Here is a new Joy Division cover by London-based hipster favorite Hot Chip. Apparently, members of New Order (who were also former members of Joy Division) asked Hot Chip to record the cover. I approve.

ummmm... but what if he got shot in the head????

Songs on iTunes No Longer Just 99 Cents

Apple has announced that it has reached an agreement with EMI, Sony, Universal and Warner to remove anticopying restrictions from the songs they sell on iTunes. That means users will be able to freely shift the songs they buy between their computers, iPods, phones and other digital devices. This is something I always HATED about iTunes. The bad news is that Apple will still charge 30 cents to change the format on songs previously purchased that have the restrictions.

To go along with that, Apple has allowed the labels to set their own prices for each song.

According to the New York Times:
"... a majority of songs will drop to 69 cents beginning in April, while the biggest hits and newest songs will go for $1.29, Others that are moderately popular will remain at 99 cents."
