What I'm Listening To: 7/8/06

Rhymesayer with Kanye West, "Brand New" (J) Just got hooked into this one--and since I guess Rhymesayer's worked with Kanye on Kanye's wonderful albums, it figures that the two of them together would be twice as inspired and rocking.

Espers (Locust Music) Hushed and dreamy, this sounds like a 21st-century update of the kind of music Fairport Convention made in 1969-70. Very beautiful, if you're into that kind of music.
