Okay, I've missed the last three days. Normally I would back-date the posts so it looks like I posted a new song every, single, bloody day. But I'm lazy. The songs:
Links Open in New Windows
Gregory Isaacs - Rock On
Martha Reeves and The Vandellas - Easily Persuaded
Clipse - Ultimate Flow
The Tracks
Rock On - My favourite reggae song. Ever. I like it even better than any Bob Marley song.
Easily Persuaded - A massive-sounding soul stomp about wanting "yer man" back. Great soul vocal on this track.
Ultimate Flow - Many rappers talk about how they aren't happy, but few can deliver such pathos in a single line: All the money in the world, and I aint fulfilled. It doesn't sound like much on paper, but when the beat drops behind him and Liva mutters it after an whole 70 minutes of unrelenting braggery, it means a lot. The beat is beautiful, the chorus is catchy. It's one of my most played hip-hop songs.
The Warning
I've really been enjoying this blog and it's an awesome way to share the songs, news, links and opinions that I need to get off my chest and share with my friends. But I want to concentrate heavily in the next month and a half on writing songs and shooting photos. And, ironically, this blog is starting to interfere with my search-for-new-music time. I just don't know how much longer I can spend between 15 - 60 minutes a day updating this site.
