The Talking Heads – Air/Heaven [throwback]

Just pulled this record off the shelf and started really getting into it. This is widely considered a classic record, and rightfully so; the combination of David Byrne and Brian Eno is undeniably fantastic. Definitely give this a listen if you’ve never heard. And if you have, go ahead and refresh your memory. peace, -the [...]

The Flaming Lips – Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots Pt. 1 [throwback]

For the official video, check here. The embedding is disabled so I went ahead and posted this fan-vid. I’ve been on a big Flaming Lips kick after their latest album, Embryonic, which is one of my favourite albums this year. They also just released a cover version of Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon [...]

Throwback: David Bowie – Soul Love

David Bowie is one of the greatest musicians of all time. And in my opinion, he was never better than on his Ziggy Stardust album. There’s just so many different vibes and so many different sounds used. And Bowie really shines as a songwriter and arranger. Soul Love is one of my favourite tracks on [...]

Miles Davis – Blue in Green [throwback]

Today is the 50th Anniversery of one of my all-time favourite albums, Miles Davis’ Kind of Blue. 50 years. In order to help celebrate this masterpiece, landmark album, I’ve decided to post my favourite track, Blue in Green. Although it is still widely debated whether Davis wrote the song, or if it was Bill Evans, [...]

Throwback: Dexter Wansel – Life on Mars

Well, this is both a throwback of something ill from back in the day, and a heads up on a sample. Fans of Lupe should recognize this within the first 10 seconds. It changes up a lot right after that, but it’s definitely an ill track. And Dexter Wansel is a pretty influential artist in [...]

Throwback: Hardcore Gentlemen – Hardcore Gentlemen [video]

This year marks the 15 year anniversary of Brooklynati’s own The Hardcore Gentlemen’s hit single, Hardcore Gentlemen. In celebration of the anniversary, Brooklynati Public Access has decided to release the classic video in an attempt to bring back some shine to this legendary trio that paved the way for later Brooklynati resident stars, Tanya Morgan. [...]

Throwback: Donald Byrd – The Emperor

Off of his 3-track album Ethiopian Knights, this is just an awesome cut. I could only embed 30 seconds of it, but if you hit the link in the player, and head to imeem, you can stream the full track. It’s a 15+ minute funky jazz groove that’s well arranged, and jumps into some nice [...]

Throwback: Michael Jackson – Thriller

I know it’s a bit cliche already at this point. And I know that I’m not really delving deep into his discography to grab this one. But it’s the title track off of one of the best albums of all time, it’s got an incredible story to go with the video, and it’s just a [...]

Throwback: Minnie Riperton – Inside My Love

Minnie was an incredibly talented musician, and her influence will live on for a long time in the music of folks like ATCQ, Dilla, and tons of others. Check out the track, then hit the jump for a segment from an upcoming documentary, where Q-Tip talks about her music. peace, -the judge

Throwback: The Zombies – She’s Not There

More dopeness from back in the day. Its stuff like this that makes me want to just stop listening to anything new, and just dig through the oldies. Because there’s so many gems. But then, it’s stuff like all the stuff that I keep posting that reminds me that there’s a ton of amazing music [...]
