Playlist for July 20, 2009

Just a regular show today, though a juxtaposition was given to Mos Def, Talib Kweli, and Blackstar. Mos Def's new album The Ecstatic was recently released, and it is his best one since Black on Both Sides. Thus, I decided to compare and contrast the music of Mos Def and Talib Kweli solo, with them working together on Blackstar.

The playlist:
1) Acid Mothers Temple- Eleking the Clay (Lord Vishnu of the Underground: Vishnu and the Magic Elixir)
2) Francois Couture- Metro (Tape Speed Ins./Sec.)
3) Dynamo Coleoptera- Megagurushi Uta (S/T)
4) Megilla Funk Conduit- Notorious B.A.G.* (New Set New Sound)
5) Inspectah Deck- The Uncontrolled Substance (The Uncontrolled Substance)
6) Mos Def- Auditorium [feat Slick Rick] (The Ecstatic)
7) Talib Kweli- Around my Way [feat. John Legend] (The Beautiful Struggle)
8) Blackstar- Astronomy (Mos Def and Talib Kweli are Blackstar)
9) Obituary- Fields of Pain (Darkest Day)
10) Fuck the Facts- Secret Asian (Collection of Splits 2002-2004)
11) Iron Maiden- Rime of the Ancient Mariner (Flight 666)

* B.A.G. stands for Big Ass Gorilla, I found that quite amusing.
