The question now is...Why? "...and your eyes are slits in bags of fat and your eyes are piss holes in the snow..." 'Crushed Bones', first track off 'Elephant Eyelash' released in 2005 on the Anticon label, home to Boom Bip, DoseOne, Why? and cLOUDDEAD.... #why? #ElephantEyelash #Anticon #avanthop #avantgardepop https://www.instagram.com/p/BtCSVxPAv3t/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=12n1nuqrjowzs

During the noughties I always paid attention to what Anticon Records released. Bands like Why?, 13 & God, Themselves: they all made this hiphop like indie pop music. Hard to describe. Fog was also one of the artists. I haven’t heard this kind of music the last couple of years. It’s maybe a bit dated, but it brings back good memories.

Dark Time Sunshine - Can't Wait

still honestly a little undecided on the ups & downs of Anticon signing another of my favorite MCs, Beans of Antipop (the other being recent signee Serengeti). Beans is always a rhythmic beast, thats just to be expected and, while the beat is a little quiet here, the clip gives us a dope preview of his latest solo effort which is said to feature beats from Four Tet, Tobacco, Clark and more..  (studio version available for stream here: http://www.zero-inch.com/artist/Beans/track/Electric_Eliminator/222228)

man, if you didn't know, Grouch is dope. i remember buying this CD ("Making Perfect Sense") at Manifest back in '99-00 before i owned a computer. i knew him from his cameos on MJ's "Black Sands" (also a classic in my book.) after hearing his solo work and seeing that he produced a lot of the tracks as well, he def became a favorite. i've found now, almost 12 years later, that i can always go back to his music when i need a little inspiration, a sort of pep talk i suppose.  

noah23 just leaked a track "Sea of the Infinite Wave feat. Myka 9 & Ceschi", from his upcoming CD "fry cook on venus" to be released thru Fake Four Inc. on march 29th. be sure to cop that.
