Radio Lives in Minnesota
I just heard this cool song “Men of Station” by a band called 13 & God on our sweet awesome local indie station The Current. Whilst googling to find the name of this band, I ran across a review with a great, albeit complicated, turn of phrase:
Many people have little time to spare for Anticon’s [the music label’s] experimental vision of what “sounds good” in hip-hop, preferring to lump strangely-voiced people talking in some bizarre poetic dialect of MCing over bleak beats in strange time signatures under the satisfyingly belittling moniker ‘nerd rap’ before heading off down the club.
You can buy their self-titled album on Amazon, but you can’t listen to a sample of the track “Men of Station” unless you use iTunes. I’m like a big advertisement for every online service you can imagine!
Ok, perhaps I’ll spend 99 cents on this song.

Anticon has been a favorite of mine for a couple years. "Why?" would be the best artist, (he's also part of 13 & god). You should really check out his latest album "Elephant Eyelash" as it's my favortive album of the year by far. His other projects (clouddead, them, and hymie's basement) are all good too. I wish there was a radio station here that was cool enough to play anticon.

If your going to mention the Current on this site, then I guess I have to mention this. JR launched this site early last week to help people find the name of a song and perhaps buy it. The address to the site is http://www.893archive.org
