back

So, someone asked for the new B.I.G. album. I looked at the track list, and honestly, there isn't anything on "Greatest Hits" that you'd want that isn't on the two albums he released around the time he was alive.

The Notorious B.I.G. - "Ready To Die" (1994)

The Notorious B.I.G. - "Life After Death" (2CDs) (1997)

If you already have those, "Blue Eyes Meets Bed Stuy," is a good, extravagant, mashup of Frank Sinatra and Frank Wallace. Most of the tracks are actually right on--its equally savage and cringeworthy to hear Biggie over twinkling piano. What can I say, I like it.

screw cochella

The sad truth is that none of us are going to Cochella. Yes, I know, it was fun to talk about for a little, but it just isn't happening. The San Francisco ≠ Indio part of the equation and the $700 trip total just didn't work out.

GOOD NEWS. Rock The Bells (SF, Aug. 18) is going to kill it.

Peep this lineup

It's not clear who is playing where outside of NY; but yea, DOOM, Murs, The Roots, Ghost + Wu Tang, etc.

pbs + various

El-P - "I'll Sleep When You're Dead"



Modest Mouse - "We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank"


Boards of Canada - "Music Has the Right to Children"



MC Solaar - "Prose Combat"
