Nothing But Net: Mocazo Blog

I randomly stumbled across this blog when I was searching for music, and, while I don't condone pirating music, they have a plethora of full albums for download. The best part: You have never heard of half the music. I'm not even sure what language the blog is in (my guess is Portuguese), but I already spent a few hours today exploring their selection of artists and albums ranging from bossa nova to jazz to rap to electro to alternative.... not to mention a shitload of original soundtracks.

If you are a DJ, this is a great blog to find songs and genres to sample - shit that NO ONE else has even heard. Check it out! You won't be ashamed.... and even if you only find one album you want, well, it's FREE.

Oh yeah, here's the link: Mocazo Music Blog

There are also random pictures interspersed between the music throughout the blog... some of them are pretty sweet.

I saw this picture and thought it was dope enough to share.

... if you haven't picked up Rick Ross' new album, Deeper Than Rap, it's definitely worth a listen.

Basketspins?

Though basketspins may never be possible due to joints in the human legs known as knees (and toptubes)....


... these concept basket-bars by Copenhagen's Goodmorning Technology are not only practical, but they look really dope.

Arshavin phone home?

Their Champions League clash is coming with my Red Devils, so I gotta start talking some shit on the Gunners.... and who better to shit on than the player who recently put away 4 against Liverpool in a league match and is also ineligible to play in the CL, Andrei/Andriy/Andrey Arshavin.

Just look at the happy family:


This pic is just too fucking funny!

Fat Liver's Listening: Mr. Hudson

So you've heard of Mr. Hudson because you saw him credited on 808's & Heartbreak's track list... he loves drum kits, is signed to G.O.O.D. music and used an auto-tuner on his latest track - you can tell why Kanye likes him - but his music sets Mr. Hudson apart from the label's other artists.

Ben Hudson and his band, The Library, released their debut LP, A Tale of Two Cities, in 2007 on Mercury Records, and received national acclaim. They have since opened for Amy Winehouse, The Police, and Kanye West, and SXSW. They are known for their use of steel drums in live performances, as heavy reggae and Motown undertones are evident in their debut album, while on other tracks they sound more like Dispatch or Elton John with drum kits. ....And they never forget the right amount of piano...

Hudson has been performing solo for a while now, like at the G.O.O.D. showcase at SXSW, and I have no information on his future with/without his band and their involvement in his upcoming album Straight, No Chaser (working title), but it does appear he is taking more of a commercial approach (at least by the U.S.'s standards), evident by his latest song, "There Will Be Tears":

...And some cuts off the first album (links to youtube because they removed embedding):
