I think I’ve finally got my linkthink flow resolved, so there should be a more consistent stream of delishish posts from here on out. For whatever glitchy reason, my recent taggage has gone un(re)published here, so I’m going to paste it in below just to throw all you loyal readers a bone or two. Plz […]
Read More →Pardon the lack of posting here. Between the start of the school year, the advent of a mobile Nico, and Firefox 3 totally messing up my ability to use del.icio.us (any tips?), I’ve been short on time for long posts and linkthink alike. Plenty soon come!

Read More →So, not only did Jamaica’s Usain Bolt (levitating below) set a world record in the men’s 100 meters, despite pulling up 20 meters early to celebrate and showboat… … but, in the women’s 100, Jamaican sprinters Shelly-Ann Fraser, Sherone Simpson, and Kerron Stewart made it a clean 1-2-3 sweep (technically, a 1-2-2, actually) — Lest […]
Read More →I received a CFP in my inbox today that served to rekindle several thoughts simmering in my head since Shadetek went babelfishing — Analysing the Musically Sensuous Society for Music Analysis Autumn Study Day University of Liverpool, School of Music 22 November 2008 For most listeners to music, sensuous affect is of primary, perhaps even […]
Read More →Off to the Cape for a week or 2 or so 4 some r&r w/ fam&friends. Blogging will be intermittent for a bit. Go outside! Here’s a sneak peek of our lil trio on a bon voyage —
Read More →Recent discussions spurred by Matt Shadetek and /Rupture quoting him feel like the culmination of a couple years of critical discourse, clumsy practice, and increasing interconnection between the two. I’m enheartened to see this kind of debate taking place and the number of insightful perspectives offered up, and I think it can only be good […]
Read More →Great bailes of fire! Watch Cabide DJ rock the sampler de fogo — Can you imagine how that machine would go over in Jamaica? If all works out in the forbidding world of international travel, Cabide will be touring the US this fall, including stops at such Boston-area bastions of Brazil as Club Lido and […]
Read More →It’s hard to believe, but Nico passed the 6 month mark a week ago. I’ve been working intermittently on a Nico Concreto followup charting the last few months (the latter half of ol’ girl’s life), and tho I’m not completely satisfied with what I’ve assembled, if I don’t share it soon she’ll have become (if […]
Read More →Reminiscent of Fiddy’s early breakout track, the mighty Macka Diamond — of you nuh ready fame — shakes down the dancehall pantheon to hilarious effect on her new jam “Robbery” — >> Macka Diamond, “Robbery” I esp appreciate the Junior Reid and Mavado bits. You may notice that the riddim propelling Macka D’s stealing spree […]
Read More →You may have heard of the Lincoln-Obama “street art” mashup (gone awry?) here in Boston. It’s a striking image. And the Warholian facsimile effect / color scheme and larger-than-lifeness of the series — plus that (supposedly) unauthorized eye-patch — make it all the more arresting. Charlie’s got plans for it (tonight) — and, from the […]
Read More →As long as we’re on the topic of “Arab Face” I’ve decided to dust off and finish up this post that’s long been sitting in my drafts folder. (It’s post #100, and I’ve recently published #400, if that’s any indication of how long it’s been on a backburner.) There are countless twisty, tangly stories of […]

Read More →Really enjoying the discussion on that sha3bi post — please help keep it going if ur so inclined. This post is mainly a way of bringing that discussion “to the top” but I might as well share a related find… It’s not embeddable, but this video mashup of a sha3bi song and a Shakira/Beyonce vid […]
Read More →wrt that mike davis piece i&i linkthink’d yesterday, my fren ben, who knows a thing or two about climate science, offers a (slightly) more upbeat, measured take — interesting. i admit that i’m surprised to hear that the London Society is ready to put the golden spike on the anthropocene. seems to me that geological […]
Read More →I’ve been trying to get around to posting about Miti Miti, and since Geko Jones (notably, while making reference to the duo) and others have been wondering aloud again about the practice of global gobbledicrunk, while Kevin’s translating salsa songs & whatnot, today seems as good a day as any. Primero, I need to thank […]

Read More →This week — tonight! — at Beat Research, we’re happy to have Brian Coleman in the house once again. Last time Brian came through, it was to pay tribute to Tim Haslett, and he rallied a whole bunch of DJs to the cause. Tonight Brian’s gonna keep the tribute rolling, and he’s invited several friends […]
Read More →I’ve been playing Mavado’s “Don’t Worry” just about every week at Beat Research recently, and the other day a pretty obvious mashup occurred to me. So I couldn’t resist slapping this one together, even if it means I may not be able to show my face in Cassava Piece for a while — Mavado + […]
