Album of the year? Just might be.

Here's a neat little video featuring Leigh J McClosky, the artist behind the album artwork.

And here are two of my favorite tracks off of this fantastic album:
Flying Lotus - Do The Astral Plane
Flying Lotus - Galaxy in Janaki

Wanderings

Here's the latest song from Portland, OR based Spirituals, who's self titled first album drops this summer. I posted their epic Caribou remix a while back. They've got the most exciting new sound I've heard in a while. Their myspace has some great remixes on it as well.

Spirituals - Wanderings
Spirituals - City With Soul

Cool Out

Here are a few great songs to chill to. Great for hanging around the house, reading, working, thinking, and mellowing out after a crazy night. I recommend looking deeper into all of these artist's catalogs.

Moebius & Plank - Misi Cacadou
Rhythm & Sound with Cornel Campbell - King In My Empire
Sly & The Revolutionaries - L.S.D.
L.V. feat. Dandelion - CCTV
King Midas Sound - Waiting For You
James Ferraro - Untitled

Meth

This song is amazing. We're doing two rap posts in a row. :o

Charizma & Peanut Butter Wolf - Methods

& if you can appreciate skateboarding filmed with 16 millimeter cameras...

Sunshine In My Life

California MC Doey Rock shares the mic with Raekwon for a feel good joint to start your week/month off right.
