Halloween Halloween. Hurray for the Devil and Dracula, poor bastards only get one official night a year.
If you’d any idea how boggling it’s been to compile the third volume of bangers & beauties for October. In the space of 3 days new Q-Tip masterwork ‘The Renaissance’ and Illa J’s Dilla-doctrine ‘Yancey Boys’ descended from Heaven as winged classics (impossible feat in this age of corrupt science and lost faiths) and I had to make the near insurmountable choice of selecting only 1 joint per set for your following presentation.
My own vital criteria for these tapes must be met though or else shit’ll just get outta control, trust me, as I fall upon/sift though hundreds of new songs + dozens of albums every month looking for the prime cut (aswell as combing a couple older pieces for a little hark back). Still I hope I’ve picked the sweetest cherry off each of those aforementioned LPs. Let me know if you disagree, if you have your own favourite. Aswell as always letting a brother know which joints got you buggin’ out the most even if you simply leave the artist/s and track name/s in the comments.
Oh & for the record, Foreign Exchange’s Leave It All Behind and Black Milk’s ‘Tronic’ are f**king tremendous aswell. October 2008: astonishing month for fresh long players from old favourites, thankfully devoid of the usual sophmore or veteran let downs. In fact, hasn’t this year just been incredible for next-level music and evolving sounds?
I go to bed content this very moment, and by the next installment hope we (the world) will have a new Black (technically Beige or Taupe) President and not a crazy b*tch in office one heartbeat from the button tryna’ blow up Russia. My American readers and listeners, make us UK heads proud and put in a vote on behalf of your humble sound-servant Fantasticunt.
