A Curious Tale of Trials & Persons tour made it’s stop in Atlanta, GA March 21st at Vinyl (Center Stage). A curious tale is the debut album from rapper Little Simz who hails from London, England making her Atlanta debut. I have been a fan of her music ever since I heard the track “Mandarin Oranges” which features Grand Rapids emcee Waldo. Mandarin Oranges immediately pulled me into her music and had me seeking to find out more about her. I have had the pleasure of interviewing Waldo and he expressed how talented Simz is and happy to see her gaining much success. So I was very excited to see that she would be making a stop in ATL to perform live!
Call It A Comeback: Music Has Gone Digital, But Many People Still Want Vinyl (Video)
In a world where everything is electronic, and media is going more and more digital, is it a surprise that there is a growing demand for music on vinyl records?
Well, yeah. Yeah it is. But growth could mean one record a week to two; so how big a growth trend are we talking (you ask)? Oh, just enough to keep the few remaining plants worldwide backed up to up to six months or so delivery turnaround on a vinyl order.
Interesting right? Watch the NY Times video clip on it above, and read the full write-up (linked below) for more.
Vinyl (HBO Trailer)
Wowww… is that the dude that played Gyp Rosetti (Bobby Cannavale) in the “Boardwalk Empire” series?
“Vinyl,” a new drama series from Martin Scorsese, Mick Jagger and Terence Winter, debuts in January 2016 on HBO.
Ah ha, knew it! Scorsese and Winter were head honchos for “Boardwalk Empire” on HBO. So, they’re trying to bring that kinda of power to the ’70s rock and records scene? Interesting. Watch the trailer for “Vinyl” above.
Madlib – “Hold The Organ”
“Rock Konducta” (Vol. 1) is a VINYL-ONLY release. But you can stream a digital sample of the hotness to come below; a single off the forthcoming project entitled “Hold The Organ.”
“Rock Konducta” is the latest in Madlib’s instrumental “Beat Konducta†series, the producer’s raw Hip-Hop beat tapes brought to life. This latest album finds it’s inspiration in various worldwide underground rock scenes from the 1960s through the 80s: American psychedelia, Germany’s Krautrock, acid-soaked Spanish prog-rock and synthy, early-80s oddities. Tied together by Madlib’s unique sensibility, these music scenes coalesce into a new whole.
