We specialize in helping bands and musicians release their art on vinyl. This June, we will be releasing Grand Hallway’s latest, “Winter Creatures” Pre-order the vinyl LP ( purchase includes [...]

My favorite albums of 2010
Posted in audio, music, tagged bestof, music on December 23, 2010 | 2 Comments »
Here are my favorite albums of 2010. In all cases, these are the albums I spent the most time with. Sure most of these are on other lists as well, and many of you are hip to how good the Kanye, Big Boi and Deerhunter albums are, but go ahead and spend a little time [...]
Fang Island – Fang Island Album Review
Posted in audio, music, tagged audio, music on August 11, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Fang Island are 5 piece out of New York, by way of Rhode Island. Zack Bolotin turned me on to them, and I can’t thank him enough. Fang Island describes their sound as “a bunch of friends high-fiving each other”. I have also heard it described as “triumphant rock”. Both labels are certainly appropriate. This [...]
Big Boi Sir Lucious Left Foot The Son of Chico Dusty Album Review
Posted in audio, music, tagged audio, music on August 2, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Ahhh Yes. A hip-hop album that captures the listener and keeps them engaged for the entire album. Yup, that’s right. Just throw this on and listen to the end, then repeat. Big Boi’s first solo release is catchy, arty and most of all fun. Great snappy beats with an emphasis on the low end married [...]
Nas and Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley – Distant Relatives Album Review
Posted in audio, music, tagged audio, mp3, music on June 11, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Nas and Damian have put together a fantastic, collaborative, concept album about Africa -the continent that both artists point to as their ancestral and cultural homeland. “Distant Relatives” is a great album, which blends elements of reggae and hip-hop to create a polished, foot-tapping, hybrid sound. Proceeds from album sales will help fund schools that [...]
Brand New Heavies – Heavy Rhyme Experience Vol. 1
Posted in audio, music, tagged audio, music on March 1, 2010 | 1 Comment »
I have been meaning to finish up this blog post for some time, and with the recent tragic news concerning Guru, I wanted to get this out today. Listen to the MP3s, leave a comment if you are so inclined and send some positive vibes Guru’s way. I have two college friends to thank for [...]
Spoon – Transference Album Review
Posted in audio, music, tagged audio, music on January 21, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
With Spoon’s seventh album, this Austin-based band departs from their previous release, “Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga” by limiting the layered sound and accompanying horns that contributed to its greatness. “Transference” retains Spoon’s signature piano and stabbing guitars but casts this sound in a more understated context. At times this album feels like you are [...]

The Get Busy Committee – Uzi Does It Album Review
Posted in audio, music, tagged audio, music on October 27, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I received an email about three weeks ago from a friend with the following message: Your new favorite album has arrived. You’re welcome. In his email, he also included a link to download the album as an MP3. We have a pretty similar taste in music, and furthermore, he is quite passionate about what he [...]
Mos Def – The Ecstatic Album Review
Posted in audio, music, tagged audio, music on October 24, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Finally Dante delivers. If you are a fan of Black Star or Mos’s first album, “Black on Both Sides”, then you owe it to yourself to give this a listen. “The New Danger” and “True Magic” just didn’t do it for me. Sorry Mos. The Ecstatic on the other hand is great. The beats are [...]
