The Aggrolites x You and Me on a Jamboree (Video)

Boss sounds abound. Don’t mess around. Every time, these guys put something new out – or apparently even just record some one-off takes – it seems like the world has righted itself. From LA to Brazil, don’t let this one sit on the shelf. It’s the reggae reggae for your ear hole.

The Drastics – MJ a Rocker (MP3)

When released via Jump Up Records back in 2005, the Drastics’ Premonition was a part of the emerging American fascination in live dub that also included Dub is a Weapon as well as 10 Ft. Ganja Plant.

Today, the band’s still playing in and around Chicago. And in memorium of MJ’s passing, the ensemble posted MJ a Rocker (alt. link: HERE) on its website. The d/l’s comprised of MJ vocal cuts with the Drastics re-working his classics inna dub style. Cop it well.

I never should have quit babysitting, because apparently,all of the hip shit is coming out of Nick Jr.’s award winning children’s show, Yo Gabba Gabba! The show’s host, DJ Lance Rock, emcees a half hour of good times and good advice delivered by special guests. Co-created by Christian Jacobs (of the Aquabats), YGG! is definitely one of those shows that nails the type of absurdly surreal humor that appeals to both kids and adults (though surely for different reasons). Last season featured an all-star guest lineup, with Paper Rad, The Shins, The Aggrolites, Cornelius, Shiny Toy Guns, Supernova, Mark Mothersbaugh, Rahzel, The Postmarks, M
