Blur: Fool's Day

Damon Albarn, one of the genius monsters behind The Gorillaz teams back up with Blur after a seven year hiatus to drop some fire for the third-annual Record Store Day...obviously they were sold out instantly and most of these ended up on eBay...I heard they were going for up to 200 Euros, since only 1,000 of them were printed...

R.I.P. Guru (Gangstarr)

This morning I woke up to a devastating text message...One of my all time favorite emcees/lyricists had past away...what a way to start 4/20...I knew he had been in a coma but I heard that he had come out of it...unfortunately there seems some drama brewing with MC Solar, in regards to his control over who was able to visit Guru while he was in the hospital...and Solar released a letter, which to me personally seems like a load of crap (below)...May he rest in peace, above the clouds...my prayers and condolences go out to his family and DJ Premier...

I, Guru, am writing this letter to my fans, friends and loved ones around the world. I have had a long battle with cancer and have succumbed to the disease. I have suffered with this illness for over a year. I have exhausted all medical options. I have a non-profit organization called Each One Counts dedicated to carrying on my charitable work on behalf of abused and disadvantaged children from around the world and also to educate and research a cure for this terrible disease that took my life. I write this with tears in my eyes, not of sorrow but of joy for what a wonderful life I have enjoyed and how many great people I have had the pleasure of meeting.

My loyal best friend, partner and brother, Solar, has been at my side through it all and has been made my health proxy by myself on all matters relating to myself. He has been with me by my side on my many hospital stays, operations, doctors visits and stayed with me at my home and cared for me when I could not care for myself. Solar and his family is my family and I love them dearly and I expect my family, friends, and fans to respect that, regardless to anybody’s feelings on the matter. It is my wish that counts. This being said I am survived by the love of my life, my sun KC, who I trust will be looked after by Solar and his family as their own. Any awards or tributes should be accepted, organized approved by Solar on behalf myself and my son until he is of age to except on his own.

I do not wish my ex-DJ to have anything to do with my name likeness, events tributes etc. connected in anyway to my situation including any use of my name or circumstance for any reason and I have instructed my lawyers to enforce this. I had nothing to do with him in life for over 7 years and want nothing to do with him in death. Solar has my life story and is well informed on my family situation, as well as the real reason for separating from my ex-DJ. As the sole founder of GangStarr, I am very proud of what GangStarr has meant to the music world and fans. I equally am proud of my Jazzmatazz series and as the father of Hip-Hop/Jazz. I am most proud of my leadership and pioneering efforts on Jazzmatazz 4 for reinvigorating the Hip-Hop/Jazz genre in a time when music quality has reached an all time low. Solar and I have toured in places that I have never been before with GangStarr or Jazzmatatazz and we gained a reputation for being the best on the planet at Hip-Hop/Jazz, as well as the biggest and most influential Hip-Hop/Jazz record with Jazzmatazz 4 of the decade to now. The work I have done with Solar represents a legacy far beyond its time. And we as a team were not afraid to push the envelope. To me this is what true artists do! As men of honor we stood tall in the face of small mindedness, greed, and ignorance. As we fought for music and integrity at the cost of not earning millions and for this I will always be happy and proud, and would like to thank the million fans who have seen us perform over the years from all over the world. The work I have done with Solar represents a legacy far beyond its time and is my most creative and experimental to date. I hope that our music will receive the attention it deserves as it is some of the best work I have done and represents some of the best years of my life.

Gotan Project: Tango 3.0 release

I've been really looking forward to this album for a while now...sooo as you can see (pic below) I actually buy the albums...please support REAL music!! I'm kind of upset that when I got the physical album, I realized that some of the songs/remixes that I saw on iTunes were not on the album...usually it's the other way around--more incentives to purchase the actual album...anyways, enjoy the video for La Gloria...love the fact that they actually have Victor Hugo Morales, famous soccer announcer saying "GOOOOOOOOOTAN", instead of "GOOOOOOOOL"...I posted two of my other favorites from the album (Peligro & Mil Millones), but the whole album is phenomenal!! Note: Mil Millones' first couple of seconds are really low so wait a sec for the song start...
