Recent Releases

T h u r s d a y , F e b r u a r y 1 8 , 2 0 1 0

The other day a good friend of mine said "You still buy cds?" when I showed him my newest pick-ups. I wanted to reply with an emphatic YES, but that isn't the case much anymore. However, this past Tuesday saw the release of the Keith (hopefully highly) anticipated Freeway & Jake One album "The Stimulus Package" and a local PDX friends (Tope) newest concoction "Soul Music." I hadn't purchased a cd in almost 6 months I'd say, but without hesitation I hurried my money across the counter to get both of these in my possession.

It has come down to this, on the rare occasion I do buy cds, it's to support a local artist or something that has been cared for and thought has truly been injected into the process to create it. I am extremely happy with both cds and think you should consider picking them up too. The packaging is too nice on the Freeway & Jake One cd to not have two copies. I got a little giddy and opened mine up before taking a picture of it in plastic. It comes with a "blackcard" that gets you a free download of the Jake One instrumentals. Tope's cd is great and is truly some nice underground work. You'll find he produces a number of his own tracks as well! Links to where you can cop the cds are below.

ALL GONE 2007 & 2009

My initial reaction to the texts is that there was much more TLC put into the earlier edition during the layout phase. AG 2009 feels a bit more thrown together. As if at this point LaMJC can do as they please and people will still purchase. I did. Suffice to say, both editions are crafted amazingly with thick paper and bounded by elegantly rugged hardcovers. And the reason we buy it, the content, well, as expected that is on point. Here's a couple shots I took. Both books feature around 250 pages of pure indulgent substance.
