A couple items of note for those who live close by or for those who like to live vicariously….. We’ve got a new monthly house music night starting up in the 412, a collaborative effort amongst most of the deejays playing the deep shit. The very first one will feature a soundsystem upgrade from the…
My review of 2008 with just a little bit of jazz – Part 1
First up, Happy New Year to everyone, readers and writers alike. I’m gonna break my review up into 2 parts, this first part is listing any reissues or compilations which really impressed me last year, from any era, in any style and not in any order. Also, I can’t think of a single album from…
Items of Interest
Just got back last night from a little trip to Rehoboth Beach with some of our B-more crew which was as enjoyable as ever. This time we brought a little portable record player with us and rocked some jazz, soul, dub, and rock LPs while we chilled out and played video games. I read a…
One Last “New Records” Post for ’08 (Even Though It’s Already ’09)
So yeah, the plan to post this during the relevant year was a failure. But it doesn’t detract from the greatness of the music!
My year end poll with f**k all jazz
First off, I don’t really mind making end of year lists as it gives me something to mull over on a quiet night-shift in work and every year there are always records that stand out for me, so it’s not the most painful thing to do. I stopped buying records a couple of weeks ago…
Year End Polls and All That Jazz
It’s about that time of year where every website, magazine, and blog out there starts churning out year end lists. Despite the presence of some more interesting “Top 5 of 2008” lists over at Little White Earbuds and other places, I find that my mind just doesn’t work like that. I did submit some choices…

A Couple Items of Interest + More New Sh*t
There’s more and more new stuff stacking up as the year winds down, hopefully things will be a little more evenly distributed next year! Before I move on to talking about these records, I want to give a shout out to my man Carleton and his Mass Communications class. I sat on a panel of…
Some New Records
On the record buying front it’s been a hectic couple of weeks for me, overspending to the point of stupidity – and no Christmas presents bought for anyone yet either, oops. Most of these were picked up on a recent trip to London, where it was nice for a change to have so many…
Lerosa: Straight Outta Killester
Leopoldo Rosa, more commonly known as Lerosa, is an ISM favourite for some time, releasing quirky, original house on labels such as D1 Recordings and Millions of Moments since 2005. A while back I had a chat with Leo talking about everything from his musical beginnings in Italy, nearly packing it all in to been…
