I usually don’t make it a habit to run contests and such around here. But I’m making an exception this time because I think Port O’Brien’s newest, Threadbare , is an album deserving of reaching as many ears as possible.
With that, I can tell you I have five copies ...

It will be hard to listen to the new Souls of Mischief album, Montezuma’s Revenge (due out on Tuesday), without letting nostalgia cloud my vision. There was a time, in the mid 90s, when the Hieroglyphics site ruled my Internet habits. Mostly, I visited the Hiero Hoopla forum , eager ...

With the announcement of his own label, the release of a box set and a new album likely on the way soon, RJD2 has been wisely ramping up his online presence, cutting out the middle man and bringing goods to the people directly.
In his latest “Monday Madness” giveaway, RJ ...

Nick Andre has spent the past couple years working on the indie-electro duo City Light and touring with Her Space Holiday , but his background remains true to hip-hop. He’s a DJ/producer and co-founder of Slept On Records , having working closely with biggies from the Quannum and ...

It seemed like just a matter of time before Grizzly Bear’s precious Veckatimest was mined for sampling purposes. Unless I missed something, looks like Kidz in the Hall won the race to be first.
As part of a free EP coming out on Dec. 8 — Professional Leisure Tour — ...

From the previously discussed Blakroc project, which pairs the Black Keys with assorted hip-hop artists, the first leaked track has made its way around the Internets.
On the Vista features Mos Def rhyming over an intermittent wailing guitar line before he closes the track on some ...

Quarterbar , one-half of the excellent electronic/hip-hop duo Meanest Man Contest , has put together a new EP of beats culled from 2003-05. Straight vintage, I tell you.
The eight-track collection is called Sweet Burger Sandwich , and Sneakmove is hosting the whole damn thing – individual ...

In February, I posted a k-os video for the song 4 3 2 1 — a response to his friend Feist’s 1, 2, 3, 4 — and mentioned the album it comes from, Yes! , would be released in March. But no, Yes! didn’t come out in March.
Instead, it’ll be released on Tuesday in the ...

Between losing our iMac for a day (hard drive kicked the bucket) and Dreamhost acting wonky (again), everyone got a break from the blog today. Fear not: I’m back.
I’m catching up on this one, too: The Twilight Sad recorded a couple songs for a Laundromatinee - the sister session ...

Not that Modified will be hosting touring acts beyond December - we’ve been discussing that a little - but St. Vincent had outgrown the venue anyway. Her past two shows there, including a stop in May, were packed - shoulder-to-shoulder with mostly sweaty/excitable young males, all of ...

The 44th installment of I Used to Love H.E.R. , a series in which artists/bloggers/writers discuss their most essential or favorite hip-hop albums and songs, comes from singer Van Pierszalowski of Oakland-based indie-folk band Port O’Brien , which just wrapped up a seven-week tour in ...

Just a guess, but I’ve probably spilled more ink on Mayer Hawthorne than any other artist this year. I can’t help it - the modern Motown-style soul on his debut A Strange Arrangement is a refreshing change of pace, an album sure to elbow its way into my year-end favorites list. ...

If I were to take part in my own feature, I Used to Love H.E.R. , and write a little something about my favorite hip-hop album, the choice is pretty easy: Midnight Marauders by A Tribe Called Quest. At a time when I was devouring so much hip-hop, Midnight Marauders was the pinnacle, a ...

Though I foolishly overlooked Port O’Brien’s 2007 album All We Could Do Was Sing (I’m making up for that now), I’m happy to have spent plenty of time with this year’s excellent Threadbare .

The release of Blakroc – the hip-hop collaboration project of the Black Keys – will be released Nov. 27 (that’s Black Friday), and I get the feeling it’s going to be like a modern-day Judgment Night soundtrack, which really was a trailblazer (don’t laugh … I still have ...
