I sit here with fingers crossed (making it very difficult to type),
hoping that our special mix from Nicodemus & Osiris will arrive in
time for tonight's show. We'll be giving away tickets for their gig
this Friday night at 111 Minna nevertheless, as well as tickets for
Antibalas at the Justice League on Friday and Saturday.
New music this week includes the 2002 version of N.E.R.D's "In Search
Of...." due for release (again) on Virgin Records. The original
recording was scrapped, the group (the Neptunes) went back into the
studio and re-recorded each track with a live band, giving the album
a.......different flavor. In comparing the two, I find that I prefer
the bulk of the original disc, but a couple of tunes here benefit
from their re-working........"The Official Adventures Of Grandmaster
Flash" is a faithful re-creation of the music and turntable wizardry
that Flash is famous for. Classic tracks from the era alternate with
long jams featuring Flash cuttin' & scratchin' - the man can still
rock the party!.......There's also some amazing music from a
well-known German outfit whose debut album is about to hit the
streets, but I'll refrain from mentioning their name for now - it's
on the QT and very hush hush......
That's all the news for this week - ciao for now!
