<blockquote><p>Joss’s crisp and clean songs have a throwback feel and could easily be
mistaken for some loungin’ oldies but goodies from the ‘60s and ‘70s,
but his technical trickery keeps him firmly in the future. He seems to
be inventing new hybrids by sampling different vocal textures and
playing with tempos and styles that are supposed to be disparate.
“Atomic Tape,” for example, melds rockabilly guitar warbles, hip-hop
scratches, sitar riffs and samples of sneering young voices. And it all
seems to make sense.<br /></p></blockquote><p>- <a href="http://chicago.metromix.com/music/cd_review/chris-joss-teraphonic-overdubs/304807/content">Chris Joss, &#39;Teraphonic Overdubs&#39;</a>, Metromix Chicago, 02.11.08</p><p><span style="font-size: 1.25em;"><strong>Last.fm recommended</strong></span> (we&#39;re going to go back a couple weeks since I missed last week): <a href="http://www.camera-obscura.net/">Camera Obscura</a>, <a href="http://www.thenoisettes.com/">The Noisettes</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lil%27_Mo">Lil&#39; Mo</a>, <a href="http://www.rappersiknow.com/index.php/2007/02/13/mick-boogie-little-brother-and-justus-for-all/">Mick Boogie &amp; Little Brother</a>, <a href="http://www.menomena.com/">Menomena</a>, and</p>

<blockquote><p> From their forthcoming <em>Totally Flossed Out</em>, &quot;Black Mags&quot; starts
with a deep, slowed-down voice like the one on another album track,
&quot;Gold and Pagers&quot; (which itself opens like Fabolous&#39; &quot;Diamonds&quot;). Here
the Cool Kids rap laconically about their bicycle, managing to tie in
&quot;MacGyver&quot; and further the Pack comparison with a shout-out to Nike. As
usual, the beats are laid-back and streamlined, the bass burbling.<br /></p></blockquote><p>- <a href="http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/download/43004-the-cool-kids-black-mags-and-what-it-iz-stream">Pitchfork Forkcast</a>, Pitchfork, 05.17.07</p><p><span style="font-size: 1.25em;"><strong>Song of the Week:</strong></span></p>

 <div>Burial&#39;s dominance of my last.fm charts the last few weeks has brought lots of artists with jazz somewhere in their name to my recommendations. From the jazztroniks to the kyoto jazz massives, it&#39;s the return of the downtempo and the introduction of the dubstep, y&#39;all. This particular track is a little more ambient and muzak-like to be a regular in my music rotation but I like it enough. <a href="http://www.compost-rec.com/sections/labels/cpt_arti/kyoto.php3">Compost Records</a> has the scoop on them.<br /><br />The charts:<br /><table class="barChart chartWithQuilt artistChart" id="table_431150005" style="height: 150px; width: 250px"><tbody><tr>

Aaliyah was my own personal focus this week. Kanye West came through because of his <a href="http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2007/08/kanye_west_meets_takashi_murak.html">relationship</a> <a href="http://www.prohiphop.com/2007/09/kanye-west-brin.html">with</a> <a href="http://therapup.rawkus.com/2007/11/video-kanye-west-good-morning.html">Murakami</a> and my visit to the exhibit. Bjork was the fly home soundtrack from Vegas. <br /><br />Also, I&#39;m finding that I didn&#39;t give The Polyphonic Spree&#39;s <a href="http://thefragilearmy.blogspot.com/">The Fragile Army</a> and Justice&#39;s <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E2%80%A0_%28album%29">Cross</a> enough love in 2007 so I&#39;m making up for it in 2008. I&#39;ve always been a Spree fan but that Justice album sounds better and better with each listen. It&#39;s fun but it&#39;s also deep and complex and has one of the most unique (yet still listenable) electronic/dance music sounds in recent years. That duo is a step forward.<br /><br />My top track of the week was &quot;Untitled&quot; by Burial but the truth is, there are 4 untitled tracks across his two albums so I&#39;ll leave you with the #2 joint of the week (since the cut I really want to post, Shawty Lo&#39;s They Know, won&#39;t upload), &quot;Good Life&quot; by Mr. West. Good Morning.<br />
