"what the fuuuck just happened?"

Classic shit right here. Is that Lukas Haas? Sorry the quality isn't great.

Gilles Peterson's show this week revisits the N.E.R.D. x Spymob Maida Vale session from 2002 - remember when these guys seemed like the next, next until Pharrell fell into "twelve pages in women's American VOGUE"/La Vegas schintz mode and Chad went seemingly into hiding, producing intermittently for nameless RnB divas? And they have a sense of humour on this shit, too, Pharrell sings with a cold!

I've got an untitled jam that they played live around the time of the In Search Of... tour at home (I remember that, I travelled down to LDN with my dad to see them at the Brixton Academy - thanks Dad). I'll up that this weekend if I remember, it's a nice listen.

that soul music? that soul music.

I was listening to an old Gilles Peterson podcast on the way up to uni this morning - it was the Mayer Hawthorne podcast, click here to download it - and heard some stuff that absolutely knocked me out. For me more than anybody else, check out these songs... they're just... wow. Check 'em out, then subscribe to Gilles. He's my dude. You already know.



Mayer Hawthorne - Just Ain't Gonna Work Out

Brenda Holloway - Till Johnny Comes
