^ Philly represent!

Big fan of their last album. They were supposed to play a show here opening for the Walkmen a few weeks ago, but it ended up being canceled. All good, though, because now they're headlining two shows at a smaller venue next month.

Saw these guys recently:

If anybody is in Charlotte, Saint Paul, or Philly in March, go check out City & Colour. Granted, he's playing with pink so that's a downer, but I'm going to stay for his set then duck out. Saw him in Richmond over summer, and he's definitely my favorite artist.

Two of the better mixtapes this year:

From Freddie Gibbs's Baby Face Killa (Gary, Indiana)
"BFK" prod. M-80
From IamSu!'s Suzy Six Speed (Richmond, Cali)
"All I Rep" prod. Kuya Beats, IamSu!

Word, that's some good ish. I dig Freddie Gibbs.

And this year is the 20th anniversary of UGK's debut album. Here's a little mini documentary featuring various artists.

Might have to go back and listen to some Ridin' Dirty. Hell of an album.

my favourite mix:
Nicolas Jaar - Essential Mix (NO BBC Edit)

http://soundcloud.com/clownandsunset/csp06-nicolas-jaar-essential

nice. getting rid of pete fucking tong on the essential mix is a great thing. He is so annoying.

this is perhaps a little too instagramy but whatevs, I like the vibe it emanates. Those Scandis sure know how to come up with nostalgia-infused pop

 

Phenomenal stuff from Nicolas Jaar. Hadn't heard that one before.

Great DJ mixes from FACT magazine and Resident Advisor
