A fantastic documentary about music and copywrite laws. It can be found on Pitchfork TV.

I heard this song today for what could easily be the millionth time since it came out last year. It was a massive radio and club hit and by now most people are a over it. But every time I hear it I get chills over Lil Mama’s part. So I’m wondering, where the heck IS Lil Mama?
Her performance on this track is one of the best I’ve ever heard in hip-hop. Her ultra-tight syncopations against the beat and her street ‘I don’t give a F$%&!’ attitude are perfectly executed. So why is she not on the top of the R&B and Pop charts?
Here’s the track. Let me know what you think before someone makes me take it down. It’s a good way to kick off the weekend.

I know, I know, but soft rock hits from the 70’s have such a warm sound. Even the CD’s sound like vinyl. This is a great collection. I recommend it to anyone who is not only into music, but also into audio. If you make records you need to give this a listen.
If you like your electronic music with and equal blend of jazz then you will love Koop’s 2006 release, Koop Island.
