Mr. Blumenberg

they just released their new album … and I can’t stop listening to it — the third(!) time in repeat mode (since 10:38cet): The Herbaliser «Same As It Never Was». Soul and Jazz and Hip Hop — Soul in the year 2008.

While doing my work I can’t stop clapping my hands.

Ben, this for you.

last night I cleaned my download folder and stumbled about a DJ mix by Volfoniq (#024), Member of the RadioDadio Dub Collective …

… and realized it’s much easier to get their great mixes via the podcast function of iTunes:

Advanced → Subscribe to Podcast → paste in the podcast address url

Life can be so easy.

aarrrggghhh, i was right in mind to go to bed but couldn’t go w/o checking out his latest tip: Beach House 2008 (Deepindub Mix) at deepindub — initially triggered w/

«[…] Track of the day week month year […] Hermetico – Al Siguiente Verano»

: for direct listening and/or download of this particularly hot track you have to go and visit das kraftfuttermischwerk.

… without buying at iTunes Music Shop – I thought about doin’ it, mmariam asked for it today – here it is! my sources – where I get my dope:
