My playlist for this week features an artist I've only just discovered, the new LP from Snoop Dogg, an eclectic mix from Spin Magazine and Jenny Lewis among others. See here:
- Fleet Foxes - Helplessness Blues
- David Dondero - Simple Love
- Digable Planets - Beyond The Spectrum : The Creamy Spy Chronicles
- Josh Rouse - Under Cold Blue Stars
- Radiohead - Hail To The Thief
- VA - Spin Magazine, April 2011

- Snoop Dogg - Doggumentary
- De La Soul
- Nas
- Drive-By Truckers
- Best Coast
- Steve Tannen
This week’s track is from the latest Drive-By Truckers album, Go-Go Boots. It’s about a police officer whose life has gone to hell. Thrown off the force for a bad temper and nerves, he’s a one time abused child, unemployed divorced alcoholic stalking his ex-wife.
Feel good track of the year!
There’s a driving bass line and drum track with the scream of some nice lead guitars under some raw vocals. It’s great storytelling and a great performance. Hope you like it. The album as a whole is really interesting. The vocal duties are shared by at least three members of the band, including a female, so it has an eclectic feel while being roughly cohesive. Check it out.

That's me for the week people. Shouts to my homegirl @Hay2theley who has asked me to impart my knowledge of the old school to her. I knew there was a reason I read all those books/watched all those movies/bought all those albums/painted all those pieces/did all those turtles.
Respect. Peace out. In the name of Herc, Bam and Flash, yes ya'll.
