But don't trip. This isn't the B.o.B. you hear on the radio (though, I do enjoy the occasional jam to 'Nothing On You'), this is Hudson Mohawke's remix of one of B.o.B.'s older, less popular, and better songs.
(and I said I'd get something up from the ATL RMX album up anyways)

Rest in Peace Seba Jun (Nujabes せば じゅん)
Feb. 26th, 2010.
"A popular Japanese hip-hop artist was killed in a fatal car accident on February 26th. His death and funeral were kept secret from most of the world for unknown reasons. Many speculate it has to do with his very private nature and his lack of being in the limelight while he was alive. He was killed while driving on the Metropolitan Expressway in Tokyo. He was taken to a hospital but attempts to save him were unsuccessful.
The entertainer started his own record company, Hydeout Productions. He released several recordings by those in the hip-hop underground as well as collaborations with artists from around the world. The company will release some of the deceased star’s tracks that he had been working on before his untimely death.
Nujabes also owned two record stores in Tokyo, Guinness Records and T Records. His death came as a shock to his American based friend and collaborator Shing02, who had been trying to reach him the past several weeks. His death is being mourned by many from all around the world."
-Tech News, Tech Jackal.
Take some time to remember that we were all privileged to live when Seba Jun was still alive. Rest in peace man... even though you're gone, you're music will live on forever.......
One of my all time favorite beats by Nujabes.... Thank you... for opening my eyes, as well as millions of others... to true hip-hop.......

a little virtuosity
Carnival of Venice is famous for its impossible trumpet part. totally badass.
an extremely well known piece for demonstrating virtuosity is Flight of the Bumblebee by Korsakov. i dont know much about the accordion, but i think this guy is one badass virtuoso.
Mayer Hawthorne
I love Mayer Hawthorne. He's a perfect blend of old-timey melodrama with some dope beats that are standard these days among the stones throw crew.
the video for this song just came out today and it's fantastic.
The offical Stones Throw press release:
"No effects were used to shoot this video. He suddenly woke up with a raining cloud above and we grabbed cameras. It's actually a documentary. Really."
[Motown; R&B-like pop plus sickly sweet melodrama makes for that thing that happens when the sun goes behind the clouds but everything's still bright]

Tycho
Ever so often, adultswim.com releases a free compilation album that usually showcases a particular theme or is used for promotional purposes. A few of these include the wonderful Definitive Swim [a hip hop mixtape showcasing underground LA artists], African Swim [fairly self explanatory], and the ATL RMX album [of which I'll be getting a few tracks up soon]. They're all pretty great, but my favorite is the Ghostly Swim compilation: a showcases 19 different artists on Ghostly International Records.
It's not free anymore, but if you could pick up a copy somewhere, I guarantee eargasms.
This is one of the more ethereal tracks on the album. I'm fairly sure this particular version was recorded solely for this album, as it does not appear on his EPs.
[ethereal, floaty, and feminine; the audio equivalent spiraling across the rings of Saturn with a lover in your arms]
