Tangled capetown musicians
Waaah I've been so confused for so long about who's who with this insane cape town hiphop shit. I first got aware of the whole stuff by listening to a comp called ''a selection of cape town beats'' which I would massively recomend. I then got hold of Sibot's album, which is really good.

if there was a thing, that was like a batter off a fish, with something that is halfway between a potato and tofu inside, that is the taste of what is in my mouth. I feel sick. -
Sibot
I just got this album by Sibot, it's really awesome. I guess reminds me of Prefuse73, but in some parts Mr Scruff too.

music for deaf people
I'm watching T4music or whatever it is that channel 4 calls its music channel. There is a man at the corner of the screen illustrating the music for people who can't hear the music. In the long non-lyrical section of the song, the bearded, grey haired deaf translations man does some kind of middle aged man dance. I would never have thought that ( Read more... )
