dusty fingertips – Page 42 – I have too many records and not enough time…

Chali 2na – “Gadget Go Go”

A new track from Jurassic 5’s signature voice (in my opinion) is here for your approval. Check it out:

The track is produced by Rusko and will be featured on a forthcoming Chali 2na solo album. So you’ve got that going for you. Which is nice.

EDIT (5/17 8pm): I’m not trying to say that Akil, Zaakir, and/or Mark 7even aren’t great rappers, and that Jurassic 5 isn’t a fantastic group effort (including the amazing talents of DJ Nu-Mark and the one and only Cut Chemist)… but when you hear them on record, whose voice stands out? I mean, come on… That’s all I meant about “signature voice.” Settle down.

My theme song!

William DeVaughn – Be Thankful for What You’ve Got Edit by Onur Engin

Of course, I picked the original up on vinyl a looooong time ago, but this edit I found by Onur Engin is pretty amazing! What a great way to start a Sunday!

Mark Ronson – “Circuit Breaker”

I will let the video speak for itself. Digging the stabbing in time with the music. I miss the Legend of Zelda, but this is some instant classic stuff from Ronson. New album due out in September.

Random Song Of The Day

Jack White – “Speedboat Chase”

Nope, it’s not that Jack White. I found this cut on some random website, and listened to it thinking it was some weird solo effort by The White Stripes frontman/Loretta Lynn producer/Raconteurs co-conspiritor/Dead Weather drummer.

It is very obviously not by him.

This is some disco-funk ish right here. Dig it. Happy Friday!

Talib Kweli + Hi-Tek are Reflection Eternal – “Strangers (Paranoid)”

“Train Of Thought” is a classic record. Classic.

It has been 10 years since Reflection Eternal put out a new full length album. 10 years.

So, to say that a new album from the duo of Talib Kweli and Hi-Tek is anticipated is an understatement. But, as their YouTube channel shows us, our patience is going to be rewarded with another great album. The video above is just one of the new songs that are headed our way next week, when “Revolutions Per Minute” drops (May 18th).
