I was in the states this past month and spent time listening to spanish-language radio (I like nortenos ..). It seemed like the norteno genre has changed in the past year or two. There was lot of stuff with a faster tempo that all sounded synthesized, but still (artificial) tubas for bass...

Am I the only one around here who cares about this? Anyway it was lovely in many ways to see GS take out the Mavs. Beautiful. Too bad the Nugs lost, but really just waiting for Houston to beat Utah that last time. Hope it happens this year.

Dangerous.

Recently on the hiphop breaking news thread Dart made a comment to the effect of: between artists A, B, and C, even without listening to any of the work of C, I can be confident that A and B are superior, just because they are BETTER than artists working in the style of C. I found this very...

I've been loving his stuff recently---bought some best of compilations etc & enjoying a lot. It's so playful & (may I say) smart, and he sounds like he's having much fun, unlike lots of rappers out there... It's hard to figure out what to get though. Looking around I felt like I did when first...

I know nothing at all about this scene but have been interested in finding out more for awhile. What is worth hearing and what isn't? Does anyone know anythign about this?

Tokyo's first all dubstep party (as far as I know). Never been down the club but hopefully the system will be OK. Here is the info. Tokyo posse come out! --------------- Oni-step - JUJU in dubstep night!!!! ---NarcoHz Record Release Party--- @HEAVY SICK ZERO (Nakano-Tokyo)...

So how is it? I thought someone would have had something to say by now. Cant find it in Japan as far as I know so I am curious to hear how people view the record ..

Anyone going down for this? Last time I saw Boredoms they were still called that, also at Liquid Room. A very very annoying show if memory serves. I'm going to give them another try though (esp since I got an invite).

Anyone going down for this thing (besides me)?? Basic summary: Mighty Crown 15th Anniversary ------- Mighty Crown Bass Odyssey Massive B Tony Matterhorn Busy Signal [etc?] Club Citta Kawasaki 5/20 5000 yen advance --------- Pricey, but it should be hype. I bought my tickets. Already up to...

Hope noone minds my posting yet another one of these catchall threads, but this seemed to be the (a) missing link here. I'm really feeling Busy Signal on Bad English now, also Stick Up (esp Idonia "Kingfish"), also still **Badman Forward**. Have to say I wasn't too excited by the new Sizzla...

Recently Jace/Rupture posted some mp3s on his blog of an Angolan music called kuduro. They're down now but here is his description: -------- if you need labels, it sounds vaguely like fast Brazilian reggaeton, except it's African (with all the local polyglot plurality that implies), and more...

Jeff Chang posted the following on his blog in a discussion of Sizzla's signing to Dame Dash. ------------------------- And now everyone is supposedly talking about roots again. But forgive me, because this is my sound, but I gotta say this: I Wayne is not the real thing, Jah Cure can't tour...

More from Pitchfork, this time on Afrirampo, a band from my new home town. :) http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/record-reviews/a/afrirampo/kore-ga-mayaku-da.shtml Sounds (slightly) interesting if a little played-out already. I find Tzadik interesting as an entity. As an old Japanese noise head I...

Lots of Texas stuff coming out recently and soon. Slim Thug a little while ago, next month Bun B and also Paul Wall. I liked the Slim Thug quite well despite a few weak tracks ... people's unhappiness about the Neptunes production wasn't shared by me completely, though Three Kings probably was...
