DJ Vadim




This is my favorite song from the Soundcatcher album, which is incredible. He uses unique samples like frogs and other cool stuff.

Madlib



He is also Quasimoto.

Back To Mine Series

Back To Mine is: "a personal collection for after-hours grooving". Artists have put together compilations of their favorite songs to chill out to. These are a few.


I think everyone should create their own Back To Mine compilation. Go ahead, do it, it's fun. A wise guy once told me, "Give slow jams a chance."

My favorite is the Everything But The Girl collection; below is the full mix...


The Road

I haven't seen the movie yet but the book is amazing.

Radiohead



Radiohead is a cool band. They make original, epic music. Thom Yorke
is the man! These are the major releases by Radiohead





They did a few collaborations with other artists but my favorite is Rabbit In Your Headlights from DJ Shadow & James Lavelle's UNKLE album called Psyence Fiction.







Radiohead puts on a great show. I saw them at the White River Amphitheater on the In Rainbows tour. IT WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST CONCERTS I'VE EVER SEEN. It looked a lot like this



Here are some other Radiohead videos.






Mos Def



He is the artist who created one of my top 5 songs ever.


His first solo album Black On Both Sides was excellent.

The New Danger was aight.The Ecstatic, his most recent release is better than The New Danger but its no Black On Both Sides.
He did a collaboration with Talib Kweli.It was called Black Star and it is one of the best albums EVER.Here is a cool Black Star video.




We all know that making good music is cool. When one makes good movies too, that is super cool. Some of my favorite Mos Def movies are A Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy.
Many people might consider the movie Brown Sugar to be a bad movie but I think it's F'ing cool.Now Jack Black isn't for everyone but this movie is still cool.
