Looks like you can get it at amazon.uk Also, did you see my rec for you on the samamidon post (based on sam's enthusiastic rec)? I agree with him -- "love/hate" by the-Dream. it's music for brooke maury.

E. & Bryan, thanks for the recommendations! I wish those albums were available for D/L on the Amazon MP3 site. Do you have a place to purchase them digitally?

i loved the mix brooke.

if i were to have my own alternate ending that followed my relationship patterns it would go like this (after wax tailor):

waren zevon – reconsider me
john cage – 4’33″
waren zevon – splendid isolation
wax tailor – que sera
waren zevon – reconsider me
waren zevon – reconsider me
wax tailor – que sera
waren zevon – splendid isolation

i’ve listened to the Hercules & Love Affair album about 5 times in a row today and it has booty shaking cred. Vocals powered by Antony — surprisingly effective. I confess — it’s a Pitchfork “best new music” tip off.

So, I’m listening to the Mary J. Blige album, and I realized that I’m liberally throwing around terms like “hip-hop” to describe artists like Mary J., Badu and even Wax Tailor. Mary J. and Badu could as well be described as R & B or part of the new soul movement (with people like Macy Gray, Angie Stone, etc.). But these artists tend to work with a lot of my fav. hip-hop artists like the Roots, Common, etc, so I think of them all as one big collective, which is probably wrong.

Also, Wax Tailor is often described as hip-hop, but that might be mis-classified as well. I guess the genre “hip-hop” is fairly loosely defined…

Okay, back to regularly scheduled programming.
