I returned to the Mary Anne Hobbs show this week to introduce Schoolboy Q to British radio audiences and implicitly encourage inebriated auto use via “Hands on the Wheel.” Thankfully, their definition of the Underground is vastly different from ours. Mass transit, always a good idea. Schoolboy and ASAP’s collabo has been getting burn on… Continue reading »

KDAY, Friday Night Live in ’85 ft. LL Cool, Bobby Jimmy & The Critters, and Rappinstein

All praise due to the Cut Chemist for ripping a cassette tape from a KDAY Friday Night Live, circa 1985. It starts with “Rock Box” and Toddy Tee’s “Batterram” and soars from there. Plus, guest spots from Rappinstein and LL during the time when “Rock the Bells” was a new single, not a festival featuring… Continue reading »

Son Raw: Swampton share their record collection

Son Raw’s Sunday morning mix is brought to you by Wheaties and Power Plant Kush Sometimes, in my more “lifted” moments I wonder if anyone who reads this site is actually interested in everything we post. Not every single post mind you but the gulf between my selection Douglas Martin music is wide indeed. As… Continue reading »

Son Raw: Chef & Pokes on Rinse.FM

Son Raw wonders how many blunts he needs to smoke to get a voice like Pokes Some laid back vibes for a laid back Saturday courtesy of Chef’s last Rinse.FM show. For those that don’t know, MC Sgt. Pokes has a voice so fit for radio that he could probably read the phone book over… Continue reading »

Son Raw: Plastician waxes nostalgic

Son Raw was going to slam that shitty Rusko X Cypress Hill song, but what’s the point? Jeff was a bit optimistic yesterday in describing Electronic Music’s current forward drive as there’s more than enough nostalgia for yesterday’s futurism to go around these days. Much like it’s ancestor Jungle, Dubstep evolved so ridiculously fast that… Continue reading »

Mix: Thom Yorke on the BBC 6

Had I known that Thom Yorke would celebrate the dawn of his 43rd year by spinning a two hour BBC set brimming with Badu and Madlib, Tony Starks instrumentals, Kevin Martin, PJ Harvey, and Autechre, I would probably have been an obnoxious Radiohead fan boy all along. Maybe I changed. Maybe Thom Yorke changed. Maybe… Continue reading »

Call Ins & Hobbs

For those of you who don’t diligently monitor the Mixcloud miasma (“normals”) Mary Anne Hobbs has been dropping more gems than Prodigy and Havoc robbing a gold mine without a wheelbarrow. I’m not sure what that last sentence means, but I intended it to mean, a lot. Needless semantic complications. Below, check four of the… Continue reading »

Radio Daze: Music Response w/ Mary Anne Hobbs (9/6/11)

About two weeks ago, Mary Anne Hobbs asked me if I had any interest in being a monthly contributor on her new Music Response program on XFM London. On general principle, I opt to never use Friends analogies, but the request reminded me of the episode where Chandler is trapped in an ATM vestibule with… Continue reading »
