The Roots – A’Plenty

I’ve brought up The Roots in the past when I was lucky enough to attend a show here in Chicago. Last night I happened upon an old video of Black Thought freestyling in what looks like an alley with ?uestlove, as always, maintaining the beat and direction.  Brings me way back to see them doing [...]

Sigur Ros – Always Good

I wanted to post Gobbledigook, but it’s borderline not safe for work and I know how you kiddies like to check ATS at work.  There’s nothing sexy in it but if your boss is a square, he/she might have problems with the nakeys running through the woods. So instead we get to watch the video [...]

Big L, 1995 Rhyme Session

Sadly, Big L’s name isn’t quite as big as it could have been. No, not Biggie, Big Pun, or LL Cool J; although he, too, died way to early. Don’t worry, ladies are still loving cool James – and sporting some fresh threads from his Sears clothing line. Big L was a New York rapper [...]

Listening Party: Animal Collective – Merriweather Post Pavillion

If you recall last week’s Hump Day Threesome, I posted a track that is supposedly from the new Animal Collective album, Merriweather Post Pavilion.  Thanks to Muzzle of Bees and WMSE 91.7, I’ll have an opportunity to confirm if I was correct linking the song to the new album or not. The music blog and [...]

Hump Day Threesome Volume 10

(Hopefully) every Wednesday, I plan on sharing three songs that have had some recent, frequent air-time in my daily playlist. Might be a new album, maybe a one hit wonder or perhaps a revisited classic…whatever the reason, it’s fresh. Feel free to post reactions in the comment section. Sorry about skipping out on ATS and [...]

MTV MUSIC – Fiona Apple – Not About Love

ATS is a huge fan of this little sex-pot Fiona Apple, and as you already know, we think Zack kicks ass. There is something entertaining about a man with a huge ass beard singing a woman’s part. The video is insistent on auto-play so you can catch it after the jump
