roscoe umali featuring e-40 and j black - live it up

kc sent me this video for roscoe umali’s “live it up“, featuring e-40 and j-black. i like the titles in this video. there, i said it, i like titles. HUGE titles.

marco polo featuring masta ace - nostalgia

‘nostalgia’ is some of the best sounding stuff i’ve heard in a while. it’s off of marco polo’s release “Port Authority“. there’s also a music video and marco polo has a myspace profile. i listened to a few other tracks via the web and wasn’t interested in much else of what i heard. this guy’s website gets minus points for having an uncontrollable video on the loader page and music that instantly plays on the navigation page.

ps: is there anybody who doesn’t setup a myspace profile when they’ve got an album/movie/book/sex-video-related-news-story to sell?

mash-ups

one day i’m hoping to be clever enough to declare mash-ups dead. it’s not that they don’t sound good, i’m just sick of listening to them. “oh, was that van halen? on no wait, i hear prince…” i think if we get enough people saying it’s dead, we’ll stop making it, and it will go away.
