Song of the day: Architeq - Into the Cosmos (Mr. Beatnick Dub)
Yambu, the whole LP is solid! Bought this from SD’s own L-Dula bck in ‘07, find it!!!

Sweet and sunny 70s Latin – the standout album from Yambu, a pretty hip group! The group’s mostly a jazz-based one – and works with percussion from direction Milton Hamilton to forge a sound that’s cleaner and more stripped-down than a lot of other groups at the time. There’s some strong trumpet and trombone solos on the set, and a few cuts feature vocals by Rafy Puente – but most of the grooves are instrumental.
Ain’t no sunshine cover by Caterina Caselli…yes yes ya’ll!

Morning bea(s)t…Thanks Danny Dan the Beat Mann for all the work you put in for us beat diggers…also props to Marsellus Wallace!

Such a soulful cover of the classic “Still Water”, perfect for a Sunday afternoon…Thanks Steve Kader for this gem. What you know bout the Rare Earth label…


$5 come up…bough this at the Beat Swap Meet back in 2008. I could bump this LP all day…YOU CAN TOO
Bought this back in ‘07 @ M-theory, the homie Still Life recommended this gem, real soulful music….(CLICK PIC)
Not to be confused with the French techno band or the R&B band from the late ’80s. Air was one of the groups featured on Herbie Mann’s Embryo label, a jazz/rock imprint of Atlantic from the early 1970s. It featured Googie Coppola on vocals.
Thanks Poke!!!

A new study in the British medical journal Lancet has determined alcohol is a more dangerous drug than both crack and heroin when the combined harms to the user and to others are assessed. The scientists rated alcohol the most harmful overall and almost three times as harmful as cocaine or tobacco. The World Health Organization estimates that risks linked to alcohol cause 2.5 million deaths a year from heart and liver disease, road accidents, suicides and cancer. The scientists assessed damage according to nine criteria on harm to the user and seven criteria on harm to others. Drugs were then scored out of 100, with 100 given to the most harmful drug and zero indicating no harm at all. The scientists found alcohol was most harmful, with a score of 72, followed by heroin with 55 and crack with 54. Marijuana was given a score of 20.
