Why Black Holes Defy logic: The defining feature of a black hole is the appearance of an event horizon- a boundary in space time of which matter and light can only pass inwards towards the mass of the Black hole  ?

Hip Hop Hump Day- Mobb Deep

Mobb Deep has some of the dirtiest grimiest beats, along with raw lyrical talent I have ever heard. Havoc and Prodigy outta Queens, NY  are def among the top of my all time hip hop favs. I have always been a fan of hard ass underground hip hop from the East Coast. Artists such as Gangstarr, M.O.P. Wu, Freddie Foxxx, Screwball, and basically anyone that DJ Premier produced beats for. Which is kinda funny me being born a bottom of the Middle Class "Average Joe" white boy from a pretty Wonderbread West Los Angeles. I can definitely hear the similarities in quality hip hop and Electro, which has led me to using the phrase many times that Electro is the "New" hip hop.

Mobb Deep- Survival of The Fittest

Mobb Deep- Eye for an Eye

Mobb Deep- Right Back at You

Mobb Deep- Still Shinin

Blonde Redhead

Brothers Amedeo Pace, Simone Pace, and Kazu Makino are the Indie Rock/ Dream Pop group known as Blonde Redhead. Kazu Makino (Pic above) is lead singer and does Most of the vocals. I think Dream pop best describes their sound. Her Voice can only be described as *Dreamy* The brothers Pace laying down Smooth Melodic Guitar writhes, and her vocals make for them to be one of my favorite bands on this planet. I literally discovered them on the car ride to Coachella 2007. I think by one Jeremy $$$$$$ I had to basically sprint over to catch their set due to to scheduling conflicts but i am pretty damn glad i did. They played just as the hot ass sun was starting to set, and beautiful back drop of the Coachella valley Gliscened. Her voice was perfect, the timing was perfect, which made for them to be in my top 3 performers that year along with.. Bjork, Interpol, and Mstrkrft=  4 not 3. I was never very good at math. They have been around since 1993, and have recorded a half dozen plus 1 albums. They are set to drop their 8th "Penny Sparkle" to be released Sept. 13 in the UK and Sept. 14 here in the States. Cant wait! And! Note to Self: Back to LA  November 16th @ The Music Box.  =)  Enjoy.....

GANGSTARR

So this will be the first edition of my new installment cleverly titled "HiP HoP HumP Day" !!! I have to start with my favorite Hip Hop duo of all time... GANGSTARR. Guru Keith Elam and Curtis Martin aka DJ Premier dropped their first of 6 albums in 1989 Titled "No more Mr. Nice Guy and their last album in 2003 Titled "The Ownerz." I didn't catch on to them until Smokin Grooves 1997 when i witnessed the musically inspiring show of my early life. I was just starting to get real into Hip Hop. When these dudes came out with a smoke filled backdrop as well as arena (The Universal Hollywood amphitheatre) the stench or delightful (whicheveryouprefer) smell of Marijuana laced across the entire crowd, Gurus Raw monotone flow ripping over Premiers amazing distinctive beats, it was love at first listen. They rocked the stage for about an hour, and over the course of that hour, M.O.P. Came out onto the stage with huge water guns (had to have been Super Soaker 500s at least) spraying them as far as the first row behind the pit, myself and the 2 other friends i was with sneaking down to the 3rd row of the lower section, with a swift maneuver right by the not even caring security guard who was more into the show then anything else, Cypress Hill coming out with a 40 foot Buddha behind them throwing joints into the crowd, and me kissing my first girl --- That last part is not true, But it was that good of a show! The lineup also included Canibus coming out standing next to a HUGE Lion, Busta Rhymes and Spliff Star putting on a pants dropping performance. Literally. And Mya's Sexy ass. It was a complete night. Something I'm sure we talked of for the immediate days to come, And still to this date. Gangstarr ignited a fire inside of me that i am now using to gain a true direction with my life. Not only did they turn me on to How Conscious Creative flows and Razor sharp masterful Beats made hip hop the importance that it has become in my life, but they showed me how amazing the joy of Music can make you feel! Unfortunately they departed on poor terms which was pretty heart breaking to me, as well as to their true fans I'm sure. Not recording another album together after 2003. Guru continued to record albums/tracks while premier continued to produce beats. Keith the Guru Elam passed away losing his long time battle to Cancer April 2010 at the young age of 48. Which was somewhat devastating news to me. Despite the way they left each other, I know for a FACT that deep down they still had a lot of love, and respect for each other. As I have recently come to learn "Friends vs. BI" one of their recorded tracks off their 1997 album Moment of Truth, just doesn't work. Gifted Unlimited Rhymes Universal and his long time friend, and partner will always be a source of inspiration and never forgotten by one Casey Smith. Enjoy.....

Gangstarr- Mass Appeal

Crystal Castles 2

Crystal Castles are fucking RAD. I definitely am proud to admit that i caught on to CCs pretty early on. I was informed of their amazingness by a past friend, Back when they were very UPnCOMING. Blame fucking Canada. Alice Glass aka Alice Practice and Cool Ethan Kath are known for known for their chaotic live shows and their melancholic lo-fi home productions." Says their WIkipedia (so cool) his cruel beats along with her incredible voice and lyrics layered together are fucking inspirational. I write this as i am listening to their 2nd LP titled Crystal Castles 2 which was worth every penny i spent. I read that Ethan Kath DJ/Producer/Sound extraordinaire made this album in "Various Places" Including, a church in Iceland (The coolest Super Mario 3 world) a self built cabin in northern Ontario, an abandoned convenience store garage in Detroit, and in Paul Epworth aka PHONES studio, in London.

Siriusmo

Siriusmo straight outta Germany, which has become a strong hold of ELECTRO DJ extraordinaires starting with D.I.M then onto THE MAN Mr. Alex Ridha Aka Boys Noize, and his Dance floor terror squad: Starting with heavy hitters Les Petits Pilous (Previously posted) and upN comers, Housemeister, Shadow Dancer, and of course the man of the hour Sirusmo. All of which whom are a part of his self titled record label Boys Noize Records. I had heard a few tracks of his in the past, but when i heard his track "Einmalln Der Woche Schreien" (Which according to my German friend Sophia translates to something like "To scream once in a week") I knew he was on the brink of blowing up.

Gonna keep it pretty simple here with BHB. Music I love period!
Les Petits Pilous were one of the first Electro acts I caught onto, when the forever powerful strike in the form of an Electro Bolt In late 05' Early 06' struck me silly. They just put out their new EP Titled BIELLE, Which I just purchased via www.beatport.com. Ill share the headliner track appropriately self titled "BIELLE" which is just a taste of how incredible the EP is, along with a few other favs.

Les Petits Pilous- BIELLE (Full 320 Glory)

Les Petits Pilous- Wake Up

Les Petits Pilous- Nice Bird

The best track on the EP in my opinion is "GOOG" which will blow the roof off any dance floor . You thought "Wake up" was big? Head on over to beatport and pick it up. GOTTAAAA get these guys out to L.A. LONGGGG Overdue@! Be Easy - Casey
