Ever since a chance viewing at a long ago concert, i’ve been a big fan of the vocal stylings of one Reggie Watts — Maktub front man and Soulive contributor. This loopy, beat box driven, a cappella composition entitled “Out of Control” just makes me like him all the more.
And while I’m talking music, let me drop some more music-related linkage on you. Nutritional content may vary:
- Maktub’s 2001 recording and 2003 release Khronos should be in any soul music lover’s collection.
- While cleaning through the numerous blog posts I started, yet never posted, I found this article about the release of Medeski, Scofield, Martin & Wood’s “Out Louder“. Months after getting said album, I’m still digging it.
- As of this moment, Clutch tops my Last.fm account as the most played band, year to date. A lot of that is due to great tracks such as “The Drifter” on great albums such as Jam Room.
- My old boss Christian threw me a link to this funny — yet catchy — little ditty: Code Monkey (MP3).
Grab some of the above and make your ears happy.
