OPEN WIDE
Jay-Z’s full Coachella ‘10 set, hour and a half. Completely worth it to watch or even listen to. One of the best headliner sets I’ve ever seen. Kanye should’ve taken notes cause I was snoozing during his.

“I started this project August 2006, when i got back from a trip to Viet Nam, the land of my grandparents. As a vinyl junkie, i really couldn’t come back to France without bringing back some wax. After hours spent riding on a motorbike in Saigon streets, a taxi finally helped me find some Asian records.
I almost felt like an explorer discovering a forgotten treasure. I bought 30 vinyls, most of them in poor condition, back to the crib, and started making beats with some material i wasn’t used to.
I worked on this album through 2007. I think this is the perfect soundtrack to any Hip-Hop head going to South East Asia. It reflects all the different sides of those countries: Raw, sad, culturally rich, amusing, kitsch and romantic.”

& part two comes out next week.

I normally don’t write too extensively about my Songs of the Day but I felt I had to for this. Theophilus London dropped the new Timez Are Weird These Days this week merging some of his stronger tracks from Lover’s Holiday EP(in particular my favorite and previously-posted “Wine and Chocolates”) and new songs that come crashing out the gate like the opener “Last Name London” and ”Girls Girls $.” But for me the easy standout of this album is the revealing ”I Stand Alone.” Wide and epic with sound while maintaining a personal vibe with lyrics, it combines hip hop verses with synthy hooks and glittery, electric backbeats — much like the entire album.
Listen to the full album and read a shining (93%!) review by Ian Walker of Absolute Punk.
