Alaska’s Interview with Tyler the Creator from OFWGKTA
Wednesday, August 18th, 2010Headland & Delowe: ATL Hip Hop from ‘79- ‘til (Documentary by Dominick Brady)
Wednesday, July 28th, 2010
The city of Atlanta has a complex and long history with Hip Hop going back into the late 1970’s.
Much of this history pre-LaFace records, pre-Outkast and GooDie MoB isn’t known.
Headland & Delowe is a documentary series attempting to weave together the story lines of the artists, managers, promoters and journalists of Atlanta Hip Hop over the past three decades to get an understanding of where Atlanta Hip Hop has been and where it might be going.
Big thanks to Dominick Brady for putting this together, I’m looking forward to more episodes. Dominick’s direct download link is below, you can also stream this on his tumblr page here.

1993 Aphex Twin Interview
Wednesday, July 7th, 2010
Via Blissout we get a blast from the past. Remember when your cousin’s best friend’s sister-in-law wasn’t dating a guy who “made beats”? You can judge for yourself how well this interview stands the test of time.
“I’m quite a people person, actually. I hang out with strange people a lot. I like mentally ill people. I’ve always found schizophrenia fuckin’ excellent. I think it’s the next evolutionary stage of humanity. My father worked in mental hospitals, so I got interested in it from all the stories. I like the idea of people having voices in their head that operate independently. I consider that to be an advantage, not a handicap. I see these people as having two minds, and two minds are better than one. It’s just a shame that, with schizos, it’s working against them rather than for them.
“We’re really only supposed to use a small part of our brains, so maybe these people are evolving towards using a large amount. I reckon they should get a load of schizos and breed ‘em, it could be the next stop for humanity. It would be great to be a schizo, you’d be able to work on two tracks at once!”

“How are you going to be around me and not smoke?”
Sunday, June 27th, 2010
“How are you going to be around me and not smoke? That’s like being around George Clinton and not smoking the rock,” he jokes, producing the sequoia-colored pot, the kind of cosmic chronic that will have you visualizing Ewoks and light sabers, and composing blunted beat orchestras in your head. Or not. Since technology made it possible to acquire production software FruityLoops and an omnivore’s musical library in 24 hours, everyone’s been chopping samples. But Madlib has proven that it isn’t about collection or studio tools.
“The equipment doesn’t matter, it’s the vibe you put into it. If music sounds good, music sounds good,”
From LA Weekly’s The Madlib Mystique. Thorough read.
