Mr Fuzzy's Shag Tag!

2010-03-23T06:10:00.001-07:00

Mr Fuzzy, himself-Mephistophilus; published quite an eclectic Shag Tag slideshow on youtube of all the fyne "female" celebrity skin that he fantasizes about. His collection of " Women I'd love to shag and chill with", are a timeless assortment of pictures that were tastefully selected and correlated, accompanied by Portishead's Glory Box to add just enough subtle hints of sexuality and set the whole thesis for the video. I mean it is so artistically kinky that you'd have to be retarded not to appreciate this video....

How many celebrities in this vid do you know?

I'm an 80's baby and can only claim about a handful.

If i told you things i did before

told you how i used to be

would you go along with someone like me

if you knew my story word for word

had all of my history

would you go along with someone like me

i did before and had my share

it didn't lead nowhere

i would go along with someone like you

it doesn't matter what you did

who you were hanging with

we could stick around and see this night through

and we don't care about the young folks

talkin' 'bout the young style

and we don't care about the old folks

talkin' 'bout the old style too

and we don't care about their own faults

talkin' 'bout our own style

all we care 'bout is talking

talking only me and you

usually when things has gone this far

people tend to disappear

no one will surprise me unless you do

i can tell there's something goin' on

hours seems to disappear

everyone is leaving i'm still with you

it doesn't matter what we do

where we are going too

we can stick around and see this night through

and we don't care about the young folks

talkin' 'bout the young style

and we don't care about the old folks

talkin' 'bout the old style too

and we don't care about their own faults

talkin' 'bout our own style

all we care 'bout is talking

talking only me and you

and we don't care about the young folks

talkin' 'bout the young style

and we don't care about the old folks

talkin' 'bout the old style too

and we don't care about their own faults

talkin' 'bout our own style

all we care 'bout is talking

talking only me and you

talking only me and you

talking only me and you

talking only me and you

The First Act In the Tall Tales of Bunny Rabbit...

2010-01-03T02:31:00.001-07:00

ATTN: My Dear Readers -

I just found this awesome music video that was just released in November '09.

It's called Rio Grande, by female rapper Bunny Rabbit (aka Melisa Rincon). Bunny Rabbit is a female rapper straight out of Brooklyn, NY that collaborates and is produced by her partner Black Cracker (aka Celena Glenn), who also DJ's for CocoRosie. Together they released her debut album in 2007 "Lovers & Crypts", the first act in the Tall Tales of Bunny Rabbit.

Supposedly, the release of "Lovers and Crypts" symbolized the marriage between MC Bunny Rabbit & DJ Black Cracker.

. The video and sound of Rio Grande is 100% Trip-Hop, groovy, and dark as all hell. I LOVE IT!! She sounds like a little girl on a school playground singing "Ring Around the Rosie", rhyming naughty and explicit hip-hop lyrics. Of course while being accompanied by some sick acid bass beats.

I've heard her style referred to as, "midnight freestyle nursery rhymes" on her CD Universe Discography.

The video was directed by War Hologram (aka Crunc Tesla). It not only kept my attention but gave me that satisfying, dirty, groove feeling that most of us yearn for.

The 2010 Top 5 Trip-Hop Trendsetters

2010-01-01T09:22:00.004-07:00

OK, so instead of writing a typical top 10 list of 2009; I figured I'd select/ foretell the top 5 Trip-Hop/ Downtempo trendsetting and ground-breaking artists of 2010. I swear that the 5 artists listed below will give us all something to look forward to for the next year. I put some long hard thought into it, and I derived this list based on the fact that these musicians like to give us something to talk about. Whether they're controversial, ground-breaking, or making a comeback- these Trendsetters are going to set the pace for all other trip-hop contenders.

First and foremost We all must tip our hat off to our beautiful blonde brit, Alice Russell.

She just released a music video for the single Let Us Be Loving of her latest album "Pot Of Gold"

It's not very often that Alice puts out music videos for her singles. I've only seen two; Hurry On Now, and Let Us Be Loving.

I didn't really care for Hurry On Now as a video. However, I am totally sprung on the song, and love it to death; I just think whoever directed the video was in a rush or something. The video could've been sweet, because the synopsis and basic idea was just as endearing as the lyrics. For her latest video, Let Us Be Loving, I think that she realized that video killed the radio star.

Here's a slideshow of her on stage live at the Big Chill 2009, where she performed along side Emiliana Torrini, & Lamb, just to name a few....

Her song, lyrics, and voice are phenomenal!

Alice Russell Let Us Be Loving from "Pot of Gold"

I can't wait for her new music video, Turn & Run, to hit the WorldWideWeb!

It shouldn't be any surprise to anyone that I still think of Zero 7 as a heavy-hitter and trip-hop trendsetter.

Since the release of Yeah Ghost in September '09, Henry Binns and Sam Hardaker have received bad reveiews all around from critics like http://www.musicomh.com/albums/zero-7-3_0809.htm . However I haven't given up on their creative abilities yet.

I was invited to download this song for free on myspace and I fell in love with it immediately. "Swing" sang by Binki Shapiro, on Yeah Ghost has the same fantastic, dreamy inducing feeling that we normally expect from Zero 7.

This is a live performance of "Swing".

Sam & Henry's next album is a guaranteed success, because this one received horrible reviews. I guess people don't think they put enough effort into it. And I guess I agree since I could only identify with one track.

And Let's not forget the forefathers: Portishead who have been so busy collaborating with Massive Attack on Heligoland, and still had time to record for Amnesty International...

This track is definitely a different musical approach for Portishead, but Beth's vocals somehow pulls it off. The single is only 99 cents to download, and it benefits International Human Rights...

You can't beat that right???!!!!!!

Download Chase the Tear NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sneaker Pimps founding member, Chris Corner aka I AM X, has been whipping up all sorts of dark, mysterious music that will make you go bump in the night. His latest single with Imogen Heap, My Secret Friend,

was released in October '09 is available on his website, Boutique IAMX

http://www.boutiqueiamx.eu/

This single is off of IAMX's third studio album, Kingdom of Welcome Addiction. The music video is a total trip as well. In a recent interview with IAMX he described Kingdom of Welcome Addiction as being "like Disney World but with lipstick, cynicism and wit". postwave.gr interview with IAMX.

I really shouldn't even need to list number one! We all know Massive Attack is doing nothing BUT trendsetting. Especially with there very anticipated album, Heligoland that is going to be released in less than 6 weeks. The whole underground, electronic, trip-hop world is going to have a field day.

The Queen Of Trip-Hop is "Keeping Secrets"

2009-12-28T03:39:00.002-07:00

What is up with Skye Edwards second solo album, "Keeping Secrets"?

Is Skye trying to keep her new album a secret on purpose??

Her MYSPACE (http://www.myspace.com/myskyesite) says."Go to the top and throw them down one by one", & I have no insight to tell you WTF that means.

Anyways, It was released in the Fall of '09 and still can't be found in many stores. The only place where you can buy the album that I know is on Itunes (http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/keeping-secrets/id335944397).

She started writing songs for the album with Steve Gordon at the start of her 2006 Mind How You Go tour. Apparently, Skye's previous record label, Karova went out of business, so she released the album under her own label, Skyewards.

The tracklist has collaborations by many talented, such as Daniel Lanois, the former U2 producer; and Ivor Guest who produced the latest Grace Jones album.

Track list:

01-I Believe (4:51)

02-Boo Hoo (5:04)

03-Not Broken (4:39)

04-The Shape I'm In (3:36)

05-Monsters Demons (5:50)

06-Clock To Stop (3:54)

07-Almost Killed Me (3:54)

08-Wrong Alright (4:02)

09-Maybe To Spain (4:34)

10-Exhale (4:49)

Here is the music video for her latest single called "I Believe" that was directed by Fatima and produced by Veronica Saez @ Annex Films.

Despite the reviews that I've read so far, I think that Skye's music video for her latest single is quite authentic, fresh, and emotionally charged (like usual) . Not to mention chill and sultry as ever.

But, does anyone know why she isn't being represented by a label? I think that its a personal choice that she's made. I also think that Skye Edwards is a Heavy Hitter, and Legend in the Trip-Hop genre. I Believe in you Skye.

Massive Attack, "Paradise Circus" featuring Hope Sandoval

2009-12-15T11:31:00.003-07:00

Massive Attack just released the music video for the new single from the anticipated forthcoming album, Heligoland.

The Album will be released on February 8th, 2010. Here's the track listing
1. Pray For Rain ( Featuring Tunde Adebimpe)
2. Babel ( Featuring Martina Topley- Bird)
3. Splitting the Atom ( Featuring Robert del Naja/ Grant Marshall/ Horace Andy)
4. Girl I Love You ( Featuring Horace Andy)
5. Psyche ( Featuring Martina Topley- Bird)
6. Flat of the Blade ( Featuring Guy Garvey)
7. Paradise Circus ( Featuring Hope Sandoval)
8. Rush Minute ( Featuring Robert del Naja)
9. Saturday Come Slow ( Featuring Damon Albarn)
10. Atlas ( Featuring Robert del Naja)

The Music Video is completely uncensored and I love Massive Attack for that.

The video is narrated by this old lady that's discussing her sexual experimentation with prostitution, when she discovered how much she loves to have sex for the camera.

The rest of the video contains REAL CLIPS from her 1970's sex video.

Now put all of this together with a track behind it featuring Hope Sandoval's Sultry voice and you have an immediate masterpiece.

The Latest and Hottest Trip-Hop Music Videos!!!

2009-12-12T17:18:00.000-07:00

Here's my latest infatuations that I've found from our most respected trip-hop artists:::

Chase The Tear.... The first single with Amnesty International for Portishead's fourth album set for release as early as the fall of 2010.

Chase The Tear

Portishead | MySpace Music Videos

Although this track is a little upbeat for what I'm used to from Portishead. The lyrics and overall feel of it gives me the same mellow, slightly morbid feeling that Portishead is famous for. I'm sure I'll be one of the first to be the anticapated album.

Me & Armini- the latest video from Emiliana Torrini's fifth album released in September, '08 also titled, "Me & Armini".

I like this track because it shows how truly versatile and creative Emiliana Torrini is. I'm not sure if it's her voice or the eerie innocent beauty of her face. I just love her faint accent when she sings and the morbid undertones that she produces so successfully, over, and over, and over again.

Hurry On Now, from Alice Russell's "Under the Munka Moon"released in 2006

Ok in the UK Alice Russell is considered R & B, but I'm pretty sure the first time I ever heard of her was on Morcheeba's "Back to Mine" Album, which I totally fell in love with. So I consider her to be somewhat Trip-Hop,
This single is very laid back, down-tempo, and totally satisfying. I wish she would've had some help on the production, and direction of the video. However, for such a talented singer, like Alice Russell, her soul- voice and chill grooves surpasses the video.

An Interview from Tricky about his Latest Album, "Knowles West Boy"

His eighth album released in the US .September '08

This Man is on his way to yet another awesome breakthrough. With the release of this album, and the anticipated work with Massive Attack, Tricky will continue to be the Pioneer and the Prince of Trip-Hop as we know him.
