Records I gotz to pick up in 2007?
What up Ell Jay - I'm looking for your help. See, I'm signed up for the Turntable Lab NYC newsletter right? And they send out amazing suggestions for new stuff, and old stuff to listen to. I'm kind of embarrassed that I'm Just Now listening to hearing Gil Scott-Heron. I've heard it sampled, looped, chopped, quoted - but The Revolution Will Not Be Televised is...everything.
Their latest newsletter also turned me onto Darando's Let My People Go. And again - it's got me wondering what I've been doing with my ears? Why have I bothered wasting one second listening to anything but music this good!?!
So what else might I have missed, Ell Jay? It's time to expand my musical horizons again. I go through this about every two years.
2001 - Female singer/songwriters: Patty Griffin, Beth Orton, Lucinda Williams
2003 - Catching up with Indie Rock/ Discovering downtempo: Magnetic Fields, Neutral Milk Hotel, Ben Watt's Buzzin' Fly stuff, Massive Attack
2005 - House Music - Tony Humphries, Little Louie Vega, more Ben Watt and deep house stuff like that
2007 - ?!? Funk/Soul/Old School Hip Hop?
Can you guys give me some suggestions? What to put on while I walk through the cold city? What to spin while I cook up some dinner for my lovely wife? What to cut with some dope homemade beats? What to listen to in the (rental) car? What to wake up to? What to make love to? What to throw on and invite you and some friends over for pasta?
What are your favorite records? Looking forward to hearing your answers.
