Aphex Twin Gets Mashed Up

Aphex Twin returned to our headphones via an inspired Andy Samberg/Mahmoud Ahmadinejad affair. If you need another flavor of Richard James in your mouth -- uh, gross -- trip-hop to 100dbs's place, where the man that brought you The Argyle...  CONTINUE READING APHEX TWIN GETS MASHED UP»

Nas Explains Album Title To White Girl

Nas was planning to call his new album Nigga, then decided to cut to the chase. And we thought Charlie Rose dropping Diddy was awkward. If you weren't aware of the controversy, this video of Nas and an uncomfortable Vegas...  CONTINUE READING NAS EXPLAINS ALBUM TITLE TO WHITE GIRL»

Hip Hop Charts: If (Sum(O) >= Oodles) Then...

How can you have mad knowledge, science, or Professor without mad charts? Via Fimoculous, "rap represented in mathematical charts and graphs" does what it says on the tin, taking half-remembered or fully-loved snippets out of context and turning them into...  CONTINUE READING HIP HOP CHARTS: IF (SUM(O) >= OODLES) THEN...»

Take our ink-stained hands and join us at the OldStand, where Jon McMillan goes to remind everyone what an honest-to-goodness music magazine is supposed to look like. Lots of Huey Lewis (and the News) news lately, so let's go back...
