DJ Shadow - I'm Excited
I was excited for this album, then pitchfork killed it. Now, not so excited. Is Pitchfork really that influential?

The Rapture - How Deep Is Your Love
real deep groove, it's my end of summer jam,
but doesn't the hook sound a bit like Sisqo's "Let me see that thonggg!"?

Nudity in music videos. NSFW
There was a time when I was afraid my parents would catch me watching the above video on TV. Now nudity in music videos is commonplace and on youtube/vimeo you don't have to worry about being caught by your parents. Here's two videos that use nudity, one well, the other poorly.
[very NSFW] skepta - all over the house from Maxim Kazakov on Vimeo.
EL GUINCHO | Bombay from MGdM | Marc Gómez del Moral on Vimeo.
And one more video because Sweden needs love too.

Hudson Mohawke - Thunder Bay
As Pete Tong says, "Loudness buttons on, please."
IMHO, Hudson is back on form with this track. With the best of Hudson you want to turn it up to 11.

RE: SebastiAn - Embody
I'm not exactly a fan of Odd Future but the debate over their popularity amongst middle-class white kids (and relative exclusion by the black hip-hop community) due seemingly to the fetishization of black rage (read here or see here) and the controversy surrounding their misogynist lyrics encapsulated by a public tirade by Tegan & Sara of all people has definitely got me interested.
I believe this to be a more complex debate than previous hip-hop critiques precisely because the audience is predominantly white. A younger Arthur (i.e. pre-thirties, i.e. like last week) would have been all for Tyler, the creator spouting off how radical and disruptive this is to middle-America but it's middle-America who's eating this shit up thus, effacing its critical force. A younger Arthur would have been like, he's not actually promoting hatred against women, he's just being hypothetical but after reading Tyler's tweet responding to T&S, one can't continue to separate theory/praxis. A younger Arthur, now exhausting all excuses, would have been like, its fucking art, art is shocking sometimes. But rape fantasies aren't shocking to me anymore, and thus, following the logic, can't hold up as art.
So the question is, am I getting old or what?!? Please shed some light on this. Am I missing something about Odd Futures that will bring me back to my allegiance with the 'dark side' of hip-hop or have my critical politics finally trumped my musical tastes?

Space Bucha - Esplanade
Found this track as I was doing a roundup of contemporary Southeast Asian cinema. It was used in the film of awesome Thai filmmaker Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Syndromes and a Century.
Simple, long sax lines (like Pharoah Sanders) and gets interesting at 6:30. Made me feel like I was back in my early twenties. (When were you all born again?! Haha)

knxwledge - ∆romatik
I'm thinking this guy might be the next flylo or dilla, one or the other but if he does then I called it ;) The problem is his beats don't really go anywhere. Anyways, i put up three tracks to test this hypothesis.

Modeselektor - Kill Bill (Vol. 4)
How to make people loose their shit:
step 1: Be Thom Yorke, with a beard. Very important.
step 2: Play this song.
SebastiAn - Embody
Alright - so what is this video saying? That the spectre of the young black male is forever the condition of possibility for White jouissance? That he signifies the theft of enjoyment? Does he represent the Real that the symbolic appropriation of black culture elides? [/lacan]
