This is a track that J Rocc decided to pull out when he was Dee Jaying for a Dilla tribute. This is a new Doom track over Dilla’s “Phantom of the Synths” beat. Some of you might notice the “Phantom of the Synths” beat from Jay’s beat tape series. The Doom verse is really hard to make out, but the beat really isn’t. Lets all just hope that we get to hear more Doom x Dilla material because it sounds very promising.

One of the best band’s to emerge from the new wave of thrash renaissance that began a few years ago is Skeletonwitch. Their riffage is some of the grittiest and most addictive thrash that I’ve heard put to file, their trademark blackened, snarled vocal style is extremely refreshing, and not to forget that they just plain fucking rock! In this edition of the weekly videocast from our favorite online metal TV station, Metal Injection, Rob’s set is taken over by the jokesters from Skeletonwitch as they play their favorite music videos of all time, play some videos from their recent NYC show, and just perform a variety of other shenanigans. Watch the whole video from some great interviews, a super thashtastic live video of Skeletonwitch’s “Beneath the Permafrost”, and killer live videos from Pantera, Danzig, Immortal, Emperor, and more.

Video: Beirut play Letterman 2/6/09
Posted in Video with tags a sunday smile, beirut, david latterman, lebanon, live, mp3, the late show, zach condon on Monday, February 9, 2009 by Erik BurgThis past weekend had just been full of great videos. Whether it’s this one, TVOTR on SNL, or the grammys (which were surprisingly relevant this year!) you missed a lot if you weren’t paying attention this weekend. I haven’t gotten my hands a copy of the newest Beirut releases yet, but their performance on Letterman was an older track anyway, showing off one of their best: “A Sunday Smile” Enjoy!
Video: TV on the Radio play SNL 2/7/09
Posted in Video with tags dear science, golden age, live, saturday night live, snl, studio, tv on the radio on Monday, February 9, 2009 by Erik BurgSaturday Night Live, though lacking in the comedic department these days, have been wrangling in some impressive musical acts. Fleet Foxes recently played the historic show as well, so it’s nice to see SNL taking a more viewer friendly route when it comes to musical guests, instead of the semi-famous pop star deva route they usually go. Sorry, nobody tears up a picture of the pope in this cut, but TV On The Radio do play thier best tune off of the highly successful Dear Science, album. Enjoy!

Video: Bad Brains documentary preview & progress update

The legendary (and, from both a personal & public point of view, extremely influential) American hardcore-punk group Bad Brains have posted an update on a forthcoming as-of-yet untitled documentary they are planning for future release. The band is now in post-production for the film which is being directed by Mandy Stein and Ben Logan and traces the history of the band from their formation in Washington, D.C. in 1979 to the present day. However, they’re not done yet; in the rare case that you actually footage of the band from throughout their career, please contact the directors by emailing them to let them know. So far, the film is guaranteed to featured interviews with all four founding members, as well as from Henry Rollins, Minor Threat/Fugazi vocalist Ian MacKaye, ex-Minor Threat guitarist Lyle Preslar, ex-Cro-Mags vocalist Jon Joseph and guitarist Harley Flanagan, Murphy’s Law guitarist Jimmy Gestapo and Beastie Boys’ Adam Yauch, who produced the Bad Brain’s 2007 album, Build a Nation.
I wasn’t around for the hardcore renaissance that these guys propelled, but they have been as important to me as any band in contributing to my rejection of authority and my embrace of self-motivation. During my late teenage years, thee Bad Brains were my soundtrack, whether I was tooling with friends, jamming at a party, or chilling for a late night session; Bad Brains is music for an inspired life. This should be an amazing documentary and is very well deserved this late in their career. Anyone else excited for this? Anyone not know this band?.. well if not, shame, shame, shame on you! Keep a lookout here for a final release announcement.
