This month’s throwback track of the week (throwback track of the week of the month?) is Nas – You Owe Me, with my favorite kind of Timbaland – mid to late 90s Timbaland. Pure gold, most of the tracks he was producing. Ten years ago, this song reached its chart peak at 13 and was hanging around on the charts for 24 weeks. Good job!
+ Themixtapeclub has a new offering for February, and i’m really feelin the chairperson‘s tape. Back in January I had my own tape up, it’s a love thing, which was a selection of old funky slowjams. Though now that January is done, you can no longer listen to it on site – not to worry as I’ve done the uploading and mirroring for you! For your enjoyment (and quite apropos for sunday’s fond festivities, if hearts and roses are your kinda thing):

+ The announcement of a Daria: The Complete Animated Series box set has brought much joy in the past few days. I remember vegetating on the couch certain weekends watching daria marathons as a kid. And as i’ve been watching a bunch of youtube clips of Daria episodes lately, I’m being reminded of how great the writing was/is. Not to mention all the background audio they’d use in that show, REAL good selection. So much so that people have taken time to document the songs used in each episode. However I heard a rumor that the dvd won’t have all the music because of liscensing issues – but that’s like the best part!?!!? I surely hope the songs stay in tact.
I know its a little early but will you be making a nujabes mix? The only good I can see from this tragedy is getting unreleased work,fans showing appreciation,and learning more about him.Dude was Solid Snake when it came to interviews and press.
i’m iffy about tribute mixes man. as much as i really like nujabes and am sad he’s gone, i feel like a tribute mix would be capitalizing on his passing, and i don’t wanna do that. it really is a shame though. such a talent who wasn’t even in his prime, now gone.
