Spin Sugar Spin....

Time to check the latest soundwaves emanating from the underwater lair....

Kano - Sometimes ... from the album Home Sweet Home. Nice smooth british garage (garridge)... less brash than Dizzee, more street than The Streets

K'Naan - The Dusty Foot Philosopher. Hip hop from Toronto with some world influence. Got a squeaky voice like Eminem, but he can't help that. Detroit doesn't look so tough compared to Somalia.

The Clientele - Strange Geometry. British indie pop... Since K Got Over Me is a good track to check out. Think....The Shins * Simon and Garfunkel. It shimmers in the sun, especially in these lazy days.

Public Enemy - Rebirth of a Nation. Chuck D is still bringing it hard. The voice combined with the heavy low end instrumentals hit like slugs to the chest of a kevlar vest. The new album feels sorta dated... still calling for revolutions... rising up against the powers that be. But despite the distorted guitars... it would take less than a nation of millions to hold this one back. Flava Flav will never change though.... I think if i ever made a movie about the end of the world, Flava Flav would be the only one left, and he'd just be rambling like a crazy person.

Hey yo, check one two. Yeah, thats right! Flava Flav... tellin it like it is from the beginning of time until the apocalypse. you know what i'm sayin'? You feel me? There ain't no one left but Flava flav... you know what i'm sayin? Yeah thats right! I look around, and I ain't see nothin. You feel me? Yeahhhh boyyyyyyeeeee.
