Damn - GIl Scott-Heron is gone

A serious loss to the music and social justice communities, let alone to the world in general. A definite trailblazer who will be missed greatly.



Emeralds - Candy Shoppe

Have been loving the record and only just found this mesmerising video:

Pacific Support Japan Benefit Compilation on DRAFT

Finally got the turntables and tape deck set up in my new house in Seattle, so am excited to listen to:

Pacific Support Comp. from Draft Records


"DRAFT is pleased to announce the release of Pacific Support, a benefit compilation created in support of the ongoing disaster relief efforts in Japan.  All proceeds will be donated to the Red Cross to help fund those efforts. The compilation consists of 13 unreleased tracks by experimental electronic musicians featuring: Rene Hell, Pulse Emitter, Keith Fullerton Whitman, Greg Davis, Matt Carlson, The North Sea, solo tracks by both members of the Caboladies: Carl Calm & Flowerman, Panabrite, Temporal Marauder, Golden Retriever, Brother Raven, and a duo project by Geoff Mullen & Sakiko Mori called Make a New Memory.

This compilation of soundscapes will take you into ethereal, liquid, haunting realms. Dust off your Walkman and throw down some cash for a great tape and a worthy cause.
