Back on the Air

I dumped Audioblog.com because it wouldn't allow anyone to actually download the tunes. (What is an audioblog if you can't cop?) I've also gotten better at ripping from vinyl, which will supplement the mostly (BBCentric) internet radio download format I've started here. Don't expect much in way of organization or theme. (and 4 the RIAA busters: For educational and cultural purposes only)

We'll start today with the test download that worked, a bomb from Jneiro Jarel's debut LP _Three Piece Puzzle_ on Holland's US talent thief of a record label Kindred Spirits (home of LA's Build and Ark, NYC's Heavy, Chicago's Peven Everett, Digable Planets - and Dutch crooner Benny Sings). Jarel was "found" in Houston by PE Bomb Squad pilot Hank Shocklee, after opening for everyone from Special Ed to the Pharcyde. But his time with Black Lilly and work with Rich Medina led to collaborations with Sonar Kollektiv, Lizz Fields, Fertile Ground... even a new tasty remix to Recloose's "Dust." The LP will have you remembering why you loved all those "golden age" hip-hop groups.

You can find the LP at most good shops. His exclusive (1997-2001) CD is available here.
