[New Mixtape] Sammy Adams x Jayceeoh – Into The Wild: The Pre-Album
Sam Adams – Into The Wild by freshnewtracks | Alt. download link: hulkshare
Sammy Adams was in the vanguard of this D.I.Y. hip-hop movement when he dropped his ‘controversial’ Boston Boy EP. Now I wonder if he looks at Mac Miller and thinks, “That shoulda been me??!”
[MP3] Vaccination – La Lascivious / I’m With The Others

Some cool ‘post-punk’ style music vaguely in the vein of Joy Division to my ears (or read their rambling self description):
“Vaccination met at the frst gig in February 2010. Proposal – We’re a band / it’s art. We invent new songs at each performance. Making up the band are a Crowleyian neo-folk duo, Yo Majesty‘s beat maker, Portuguese space-rock royalty, a banker (now fired) and a counterculturalist / fantasist.
Rotor City urban energy conflagrates along konkrete autobahns. The acoustic instruments get drowned out by the preacher man’s megaphone. A machine takes the role of the shaman’s drum – we play to beats that we program into our smartphones on the bus. We seek to meet with the ghosts of former selves and find the primeval electro-magnetic release. Alienated rocklaimations in English as a foreign language. Errors honoured as intentions and framed in the edit. An unapologetic, unironic embrace of both the abandonment of basic rock’n’roll and the contrary glee of avant garde anti-cliches. Pollution with melodies. Kraut Nouveau. The mixolydian mode. Pretentiousness. Lack of shame. Some bands never get any further than the rehearsal room so it seemed like a good plan to skip that stage and get a gig. Like walking over a minefield, hoping for the best. We deal in pain….”

Posting this because the excellent lead track (a Monkees cover??) was recorded by my good friends, Paul Kehayas and former Grapes of Wrath front man, Kevin Kane. More details HERE.

“In typical fashion, Bekay presents his annual year in review. From music, entertainment, sports, politics and even Mayan prophecy, Bekay breaks down all noteworthy f-ckery that ensued this past year over the Slaughterhouse‘s “Back On The Scene” instrumental, produced by M-Phazes.”
But where’s Skillz‘s version??!
