Grey Filastine is a specialist in counter-hegemonic brown sound, world's only luddite laptopist, on a mission to jam their signal with electronic music of direct expression, as urban element and anti-globalization. His newest album LOOT combines electronic, dubstep, ethnic percussion, world & more. Please check him out.
It's music like this that has made 'Gaze' a genre. I'm still not completely sure what that means but be careful, these sounds are melodically hypnotic, especially if you're driving a long distance. You don't even have to close your eyes for your mind to find the horizon. Download their new North Dorm EP for Free HeRe.

Come to find out the Heath Bros. have been sampled quite a lot. Still, I'm consistently reminded of how good a hip hop album Illmatic is, def in it ly my top 10, more on that l8r.
This band has impressed me for some time now. I first heard the track Sleepers in 2009 and it became a a dreamy theme song for some happy travels in Europe that summer and it never wanted to leave the playlist. After hearing more soul soothing geographies, I'm convinced these guys are tuning into something good. Norse Horse, not a strange looking individual who imitates both a horse and a scandinavian but some rather talented musicians out of California.

I listen to way too much music to not utilize this blogspot. I created for purposes of sharing what I hear with others so here it goes- my first post.
Guilty Pleasure v.0.27 - BMX (Ready to Fly) by the Papers. It's the closing credit sequence music from the film BMX Bandits (1983). Not the 80's spin off band- the BMX Bandits (like Save Ferris) but rather the 80's Australian film from which they stole their name. It's awesome. If you liked Rad (1986) watch BMX Bandits. Nicole Kidman's first film so she's not famous yet. I don't know anything about the band, The Papers. I think this was a one hit wonder made specifically for the film. If it even was a hit. It should be. Hopefully at least in Australia. This song caught my attention as a kid. I rediscovered it at 27 and heard a similar pop nostalgic goodness in it. Kinda like what you get when you hear an old, familiar Flock of Seagulls or Pet Shop Boys song you've forgotten on the radio.
I can't explain why I like it but I do. Thank you John Nash and Chris Eggleton! Here's the song with some highlights from the film. Enjoy!
