Rare Earth

Rare Earth is an American rock band affiliated with Motown's Rare Earth record label (which was named after the band), who prospered in 1970-1972. Although not the first white band signed to Motown, Rare Earth was the first big hit-making act signed by Motown that consisted only of white members.

In other words, Wikipedia, these soulful light skinned brothas ROCK! Check out their two biggest hits: Get Ready and I Just Want to Celebrate

Blackalicious

So, evidently, there was only 3 posts in all of July. Well, that's going to change for this month ...



Blazing Arrow, title track from the duo's second official album, above. Below, my personal favorite track from the album, Make You Feel That Way; the horns in this song are fire.

DJ Krust

An English Drum & Bass Producer (which is a genre not unlike but very much separate from dubstep and electronic). Also, not to be confused with DJ Krush (see post below)

For more magic from Saul Williams in the raw unadulterated essence that is talent unrestricted by the guidelines set forth from a people no longer in touch with the reality they live in please view his performance of "Coded Language" live from Def Jam Poetry below:

Watermelon Man - The Herbie Hancock Group

DJ Krush

Killer Producer. Can't help but love this beat and/or rap right here. Mr. Lif (a la Def Jux Records) is the featured vocalist here

Adele - Hometown Glory & Chasing Pavements

Adele had a great hit this year with Rolling in the Deep from her album 21. Her last album had a few gems aswell, including the one above titled Hometown Glory. She may also be remembered for her run on MTV's TRL show with the song Chasing Pavements.

Tab Benoit - Shelter Me

That's a sexy lookin man.

Woodkid - Iron

This musician was the director Katy Pery's Teenage Dream music video. After a few listens, this song should be enough to forgive him.

It's amazing when a such a sad song is made to sound so ethereal and pleasing; that seems to be the bread an butter of the delightfully weird sister-duo Cocorosie.

Top 5 Deadliest Drops

This is number 1 on NPR's "Top 5 Deadliest Drops of 2010"

"A drop is the moment in a dance track when tension is released and the beat kicks in. Great drops create overbearing drama. They're built for the unabashed and uninhibited, releasing the enormous energy accrued during a song's progression."
