This was brought to our attention at the PhilaFlava forums last week. Here is the blog in question with the story in its original form.

Ah, 2009. The dirty whore of a year that let me fingerbang her in the backseat of my mom’s Reliant K. If she didn’t get so god damn clingy after that I may have enjoyed her more. What did she REALLY bring us other than Slap Chop, Precious, and a shitty Snoop Dogg album (c’mon Uncle Snoop. I’ve been ridin’ for you since we were the same body type back in 1992. Do another ‘Blue Carpet’ or stop. Please)? Nothing. Except a gang of dead celebs which weren’t named Asher Roth- a glaring oversight on the part of Death, if you ask me.
Boards of Canada being given this track can only be chalked up to pure genius. Beck’s startlingly bleak, resonating yarn spun of woe and his vocal nuance were clay to be molded by the minds of BOC. Where the original spares itself in dramatics; opting on a cough syrup-soaked lightness, BOC’s imagining is headswirlingly-layered and seemingly empathetic in addition to aptly chasing chasing Beck’s lead. First we’re treated to the classic Reverse Fuzz Sunrise melody. As it begins to settle, your ears are filled with a wave of sonically-Pollocked drums in patterns conjuring up love, loss, lust and lies. But somehow retaining it’s oddly peaceful frame painstakingly crafted by BOC. Every time the snare falls over itself it demands attention and lands squarely on its feet. The mournful chants of Beck taking on an entirely new life by surfing above the wide open space offered by BOC. An enigmatic duo who take an ordinary song and reanimate all of it to a perfectly loud, nightmare/daydream with a beginning, middle, and end that make you want to be there.
I see you there
Your long black hair
Your eyes just stare
Your mind is turning
You know I’ll laugh
And I won’t take it back
I’ve seen your eyes I know
What you’re thinking
And one by one
We’ll shoot our guns
We’ll have fun
Don’t ever doubt it
And when I say
Fare thee well
My only friend
Oh how the days go
Your setting sun
Your broken drum
Your little drugs
I’ll never forget you
Never
Forget
You

The Glitch Mob has started a Soundcloud page. Although what’s up there now is old news, these outlets are usually a stage for new material.

I’m a huge fan of Black Milk. More often than not these days, what goes into beats and production overshadows the rhymes. Factoring in his age, range of influences and the people surrounding him, I’d be shocked if dude isn’t around and a prominent maestro in 2020. There’s a lot of nifty studio footage too.

This is why Project Blowed fucking owns you. Brutal. Unapologetic. In their prime, these guys were capable of roasting anyone. Anyone. Fish stylin’ hard (….pause….).

Before, I start I would like to say that I am very flattered to be asked to be a part of the 2009 register and share my views on the year that was. Alright here we go then…2009 was a year that brought such curve balls as celebrity death, Balloon Boy, and the rise of Twitter. Twitter has probably always been on the rise but I wasn’t aware of it, then later became addicted to it this year. Truth be told, I found out about Balloon Boy among other news this year through Twitter. Is that shameful I got a lot of news this year through Twitter? My mom would probably say so. Me, I don’t know how to quite answer that. Maybe, I will have a better answer for you during The 2010 Register. On a side note, the day I recorded my vocals for my song that appears on the PhilaFlava Project, was the same that day Michael Jackson passed.
