BROKEN BELLS-HIGH ROAD VIDEO

Broken Bells is artist–producer Danger Mouse and singer James Mercer (the shins). their debut single "The High Road" was made available as a free download on their official site. The self-titled debut album is due out in the U.S. on March 9, 2010. It leaked to file-sharing websites on December 22, 2009 but WEB SHERIFF is doing a great job of shutting shit down.

Anything Danger Mouse is involved in is worth a listen in my books. looking forward to hearing this project. For more info check out http://www.myspace.com/brokenbells

XMAS TOUR IS DONE!!!!! MERRY XMAS

Just got home from our XMAS TOUR throughout BC and Alberta. shit was awesome! cold as balls just about every where we went but it was worth it. We got to have some really good acts jump on for a few of the shows (Okay City, DJ Dopey, Subway, Dragon Fli Empire etc) and the crowds killed it every night! We even got some presents along the way. Hope you guys are ready for Sweatshop in the new year. As usual we'll be touring none stop but we're also set to release a grip of new material.

Huge thanks to everyone who came out to party with us and have a merry christmas, happy holidays and all that.

XMAS TOUR CONTINUES

Tour has been great so far. getting some work done dropping beats in the hotel before the shows. The shows themselves have been awesome. Grand Prairie was crazy. best crowd we've ever had come through. We went after and got some Guiness. It was like we were in a House of Pain video. Last night We played Edmonton. Hip hop is alive in Edmonton. I haven't done a "hip hop" night that was an actual hip hop night in years. really cool. Tonight we'll be in Lethbridge with Dj Dopey.

XMAS TOUR

Played Banff last night. it was cold as balls. people shouldn't be that cold.... its wrong. The show was great though. Deezuz drove in from Calgary and set things off. Then Okay City killed things before Kyp played some tracks off of the new album 12:12. really hype crowd. One dude drank a beer out of his shoe on stage when we finished. Banff is awesome. Jasper is tonight.

IN THE MEAN TIME, SOME OF YOU KNOW I HAVE A VERY BAD RECORD COLLECTING HABIT. OVER THE 12 YEAS OF HOARDING I HAVE COME ACROSS ALOT OF REALLY GOOD OLD SCHOOL SOUL XMAS MUSIC.
LIKE I POSTED EARLIER, I FEEL THERE IS DEF A LACK OF GOOD MUSIC TO BUMP OVER THE HOLIDAYS...SO I THOUGHT ID SHARE SOME OF IT WITH YOU.
THE QUALITY VARIES AS SOME OF IT IS REALLY RARE, ALSO I DECIDED AGAINST ADDING ANNOYING VOCAL DROPS AND BOOTY BLENDS ETC...MAYBE NEXT TIME...THIS TIME THE IDEA IS TO CRASH AS MANY XMAS PARTIES, CHESTNUT ROASTINGS AND FAMILY GATHERINGS AS POSSIBLE...WITH JUST GOOD XMAS MUSIC!...
PLEASE PASS THIS ALONG TO EVERYONE YOU THINK WILL DIG IT...

HERE IS SOMETHING YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND.......

I'm a sucker for back in the day shit. I never grew out of my love for "golden era" hip hop. I never will. If you're the same then I probably don't need to tell you that this is an album you should have. I forgot how good Cypress Hill was. Well, not really but it's been a while since i gave them a listen. Everything from B Real's snotty voice to Muggs dirty beats and even Sen Dog's "I'm choking on a chicken bone" backups make for a classic album. Sen Dog's backups are actually some of the best shit on this record. All I want to do is where a tilly hat , some plad and smoke a blunt.

Pull out you're old tapes/ cd's and rock them shits......
