List of some noises from the last pre-specified number of days...

No vintage, but some nods and taps...

Click your fingers to it...

Too much wanking over RTJ3 already to include that here.

De La Soul - ...and the Anonymous Nobody

Some nice noises on this. Not quite 3 feet high, but maybe about 18 inches and leveling out...

A Tribe Called Quest - We Got it from Here...Thank you 4 your Service

Difficult year for the other Native Tongues. 'We the People...' on your rotation box.

Zach de la Rocha (and El-P, of course) - Digging for Windows

'Big Zach' holding it down in the hip hop world with some tasty help from El-Producto himself. 

Mndsgn and Ahwlee - A Rap Vacation Xmas

An oldie (from like 2012) re-packaged with colourful vinyl...Ooooo, presents. 

Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown!

Invisibl Skratch Piklz - The 13th Floor

Q-Bert can scratch my back. Wrists not yet ruined.

ILL SUGI - Back to Rock

Unreleased noise-sounds from the Japanese man. The re-birth of the beat tape...Literally a tape. Sugimoto-san is a little sick. 

Evisbeats - Qualia

That man makes some nice noises yet again. Should do another full album. Alongside release of 'Hanabi' a nice effort, but where's 'Vietnam'?

The karaoke super friends recombine to re-create スチャダラパー's 1995 el classico of much the same name to the sounds of the tabla drum.

End of the Line...

Beastie Boys - The Lisa Lisa / Full Force Routine...



to Quasimoto - Discipline 99, Pt. 1
