What's hot for this weekend on the San Diego acid jazz scene? I'll be
visiting from 8/9 - 8/14. Tips on where to go or at least a resource to
check out either online or hard copy would be greatly appreciated.
Also, has anyone seen a magazine called "Revolutions"? It's about internet
dance music but it covers some hip hop, international, electronica and other
genres. The premiere issue included two CDs. One was an eleven track mix
disc from Thievery Corp. The other was a sampler of eight tracks talked
about in the magazine AND an internet toolkit. A monthly subscription is
$20 US and includes a sampler CD per issue PLUS the net CD.
The magazine believes in getting music off the net and putting it into your
PC, an MP3 player or just burning a disc. They give you internet sites to
put together a full CD each month. They even provide the jewel box artwork.
Based on the first issue, it's worth checking out.
I bought some of the featured/reviewed discs to check out:
LTJ Bukem - Journey Inwards
Femi Kuti - Shoki, Shoki
Slum Village - Fantastic, Vol. 1
Jurassic 5 - Quality Control
Dilated Peoples - The Platform
The Thievery disc was definitely nice.
Couldn't really get into the J5, maybe it will grow on me later. The rest
of the lot is hittin'. Still need to get Gilles Peterson and Francois K.
Anyone checked out Jill Scott? She is coming out of the Roots camp and her
CD is NICE!
It's been a while since I've posted, hope this isn't old news. Peace.
Thanks for any San Diego feedback. I especially want to catch DJ Greyboy,
Fattburger and any LOCAL act I wouldn't ordinarily see on the east coast.
