The second single from Common’s new album The Dreamer, The Believer due out November 22. It seems like Common has come full circle and is working again with Chicago producer No I.D., who worked on a some of his earlier releases. Maybe I am the only one, but I just wish he would take it back a little further and start rapping with the squeal in his voice again. Remember those days in hip hop history, when everybody had to have a little gimmick in their flow (Ala Das Efx)?
I hosted the DOOM show when he was out here not so long ago. We were told we had to clear the stage area when DOOM came, and we couldn’t look him in the eye or talk to him unless he talked to us. It was like he was Prince, but not nearly as famous.
I thought it would be really funny if I came out on stage earlier wearing a mask and pretend to be a DOOMPOSTER. So I went up to Oxford St and bought this feathery sequenced butterfly mask and came out on stage like “Yo this is DOOM, I lost my old mask in customs, this is my new look, son”. Don’t think anybody else found it that amusing.
Anyways, DJ Naiki plays a set of DOOM tracks mixed with the original samples. Listen for all that Madvillain, King Geedorah, Metal Face goodness.
Also we get raunchy with The Tongue. Talking about his new mixtape – Sex Tape.

Got a taste for something a little heavier? London producer/DJ Joker has been out here, drinking chai tea, hitting the gym with A-Trak and playing table tennis with Benga. Besides that he also been doing a bit of DJing on the musical traveling circus Parklife. Here is a mix to get you hyped for the remanding cities on the tour – Brisbane, Adelaide and Sydney.

Oi blood! This weeks show was heavy. London Producer/DJ genius, Joker takes time out from hitting the gym with Benga and A-Trak to play a mix for our show. Out here for Parklife, Joker totally killed it in Melbourne and Perth. Tonight he gave us a taste of what you may expect from him in Brisbane, Adelaide and Sydney.
In addition, we are joined by Burn City’s 360. Just ahead of the release of his album ‘Flying & Falling’, we talked a little about the release, battling close friend Anecdote and the rapper tag phenomenon.
Also lots of music… This is a show not to be listened to on shitty laptop speakers. Hook it up to a system and play it loud.

Can you tell that Julia is also an architect? Her photos have a wonderful way of highlighting the patterns in man made structures. Earlier this year, when she was traveling Asia, she took a bunch of pictures, which she will be exhibiting at Darlie Laundromatic. It launches Wednesday, September 28 at 6pm with nibbles. If you are part of our Sydney audience, I recommend heading along, not only for the photos, but for Darlie Laundromatic’s mini hotdogs, cheap drinks and the rock ‘n’ roll laundromat thing it has going.
I first heard this one on Kate Jinx’s awesome movie show on FBi Radio, Too Much. I miss Kate. She was once my cubical buddy. Ummm… meaning we shared a work cubicle space. Durrr!
I meant to put these up a while ago. These are drunken photos by Emma mostly of Sonny, Anya and I striking a few poses at FBi’s Winter Prom in July. It was a cracking good party, taking it’s inspiration from all those American TV proms rather than your own daggy formals. Though I was actually king at my formal, it was a chance to do it all again and correct everything that was awkward and horrible at your high school formal. It was amazingly decorated, everybody looked so good and indie cover band – Fan Fixion – weren’t terrible either. In my dreams, this is everything I imagined the Stolen Records Gala Ball to be.
BTW: Emma and Anya are dressed by Dear Pluto, Shantan is mostly wearing stuff from Harajuku Thrift shops, while Sonny is dressed strictly via Five Finger Discount.
Maybe a little overboard with the strings, but this is my understated pick from the Cole World – The Sideline Story album. Listen to the lyrics on this one. In addition, here is a mixtape joint that I have highly esteemed for sometime.
Has this kind of music got a name? I heard Mike call it post-dubstep-chill-wave. Will I get laughed out of the next music bloggers convention if I repeat that term? Either way, I am rather partial to this sort of thing. Hugo Frederick is a 23 year old from Melbourne that makes beats on his computer. You can get more his stuff on his soundcloud.
