quick note: Norah Jones just keeps getting better with age, take that however you like.

I’ve been looking out for visuals, since the Tech’s stellar All 6′s & 7′s dropped. If you hadn’t heard the album yet, snag it now some definite heat on there. Hopsin jumps in and wrecks the track, though you already knew that.

Stones Throw keeps some freshness coming and team with startup Drip.fm, on a subscription service. The concept seems simple enough – Give your fans an easy avenue to your label’s collection and on time, in a simple way. Not much is known about how this will come to pass, but Drip.fm appears to be on the right track:

One of the standout tracks from 2011′s Rome collaboration from Daniele Luppi & Danger Mouse gets the video treatment.  ”Two Against One” featuring the ever talented, enigmatic, and charismatic Jack White is a rollicking trip.

The new L-Boogie Lyric Jones dropped this gem yesterday, much to my delight. She brought in the services of her girl & grammy award winner Esperanza Spalding to lend her skills to the track and Raydar Ellis providing his production skills.

You can link up with Lyric via Facebook & pickup the download below or there.

The holidays had me all fucked up: +10lbs, social media blackout (actually happy about this one), & I somehow missed this live gem from pop & soul killers Quadron. They drop in to cover Lauryn Hill’s classic “Ex Factor”. Absolute woofer syrup. Oh and Happy New Year!

I (@bjones21) have been spending the last few weeks here at @Social8gency putting together this show and I want everyone in LA, shit Cali and lets add Nevada and Mexico for good measure to make it out on December 29, 2011 to The FreQ Show.  Its the first of hopefully many events and performance put together by Social8gency to bring that good, that SWAG to the masses.

It’s difficult telling anyone how I feel about J*Davey, cuz it seems their music is so particular sometimes. Its seriously been 50/50 for those that I expose to them, either love or hate; I love. They just released their 11 track LP New Designer Drug today for the recession friendly price of $2.99. Head over to their J*Davey Official page to pick it up.  But if you’re foolishly still trying to decide stream it below.

Yeah I support ATL music and not ashamed to say it. If you haven’t heard of Cloudeater then you’re missing out. Just a fantastic band out of the A, with a very cool ethereal vibe to their music that you can play in pretty much any situation. Support Support –> @cloudeatermusic & Cloudeater’s official.

They just dropped their second album titled Sun And Sidearm, streaming below, and I haven’t really haven’t sat down through something and enjoyed every moment of the album since this, ok well that was recent, BUT before that one it had been a long time.

I saw them perform this live at The Key Club before their brief absence to finish the album and cuz Jack was rocking out while in her 3rd Trimester (Hardest Working Pregnant Woman in Entertainment!). At the show it brought the house down.

Look out for New Designer Drug hitting you November 22nd.
