"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.

"my dad used to say it reminded him of bebop"

So, yeaaaars ago world's greatest entertainer (seriously) Q-Tip made an album called Kamaal the Abstract that out-Love Below'd Andre 3000 before he even recorded the damn thing. However, Arista shut it down and the album never got released... until now!

Listen to "Blue Girl" here, it's great. And download the track below - the thing's been bootlegged since forever anyway so you might as well before you pick up the official release.
