RIP: guru - no time to play

guru feat dc lee & ronnie jordan - no time to play
[taken off the seminal hip hop/jazz album 'jazzmatazz', this album was definitely part of my soundtrack of 1993. check out this obit via mtv.com about his legacy and the strange letter for his fans he left behind.]

new video monday: taken by trees, tim mcgraw & faith hill, the concretes, jack penate, guru feat common

taken by trees - lost and found [link 2]
[fans of victoria bergsman (aka ex-concretes lead singer and the female voice behind "young ones" with peter bjorn & john) will be pleased to find that she's created this side project to tap into her mellow chanteuse side. it definitely works! the debut album open field is out now.]


tim mcgraw & faith hill - i need you [link 2]
[scoff at me all you want, but i've been in love with this song ever since i've seen the husband and wife perform this at fashion rocks last year. now as an official single, my cheeseball sentimental side still got a bit choked up when i saw this. oh well, you can deal!]


the concretes - oh boy [link 2]
[when lead singer victoria bergsman announced that she was leaving the swedish indie pop band last year, people wondered if the concretes would be able to continue. well, their current album hey trouble proves that life does go on just fine... definitely my favorite track off their album! thanks to ifmv for the tip!]


jack penate - torn on the platform [link 2]
[i've been seeing jack penate's name thrown around with wongie favorite kate nash and it turns out that this boy is just as quirky and individualistic as his labelmate.]


guru feat common - state of clarity
[gosh, i still remember the 1st jazzmatazz back in 1993! well, guru is back again with a whole new collaborative effort that features damien marley, caron wheeler, bobby valentino and even dionne farris. go and get jazzmatazz vol 4 now.]
