Song Of The Day: Radio Sunday (1/13/12)

Song: Crucible (Ft. Geologic)

Artist: Common Market

Album: Tobacco Road

So, not that much NW stuff played on SNSS this week, but a whole TON of it played on Street Sounds. I don’t know why, but Larry just went on an 1.5 hour Northwest music spree and oh was it great. He played everything from old to new, including some of my favorites, DJ Infrared’s Red October EP and of course, Common Market’s Tobacco Road (both CLASSICS in our minds.) You can still buy this one on RA Scion’s website here.

Blue Scholars’ Geologic: A Maintained Seattle Brain.Interview by Trent Moorman for The Stranger  Is writing a song similar to taking a picture? Framing? Light? Meter? I think about this all the time. I think all creative outlets are essentially different forms of the same human act. There’s expression, communication. Framing, yes. There are the things that you know are there, and then the things you want to show other people. There are things that get excluded on purpose, or things that you include on purpose. There are parts where you think that’s what you want to show people, and there’s feedback with what you’re working on, and you realize it’s not cool, so you refocus and reframe or change the exposure. There’s the aspect of seeing what other people have done, and emulating that, then maybe trying your own thing. (Read the rest of the Sound Check interview)

 Is writing a song similar to taking a picture? Framing? Light? Meter?

Totally Crushed Out: Prometheus Brown & Bambu, "...Walk into a Bar..."

totallycrushedout:

Geologic/Prometheus Brown & Bambu
“Prometheus Brown and Bambu Walk Into a Bar….”
(Beat Rock)

The combination of conscious Seattle-based emcee Geologic and LA’s Soul Assassin-cosigned spitter Bambu seems like a odd pairing, but it works well for this record with the joke-y title “Prometheus Brown…

resexualize: This is MC Geologic, a Filipino-American rapper, activist, and filmmaker based in Seattle. Paired with DJ/Producer Sabazi they make the group the Blue Scholars. I met em back in Madison a few years back. I’ve been bumpin’ their recently released Cinemetropolis album all summer. Especially where I’m at now, an artist residency in white, white, SUPER white Grinnell, Iowa. Yes, tracks about Yuri Kochiyama get me through the heat. And that’s sexy, when you can make me feel more at home, more safe. I’ve posted a few shirtless, shameless, indulgent Asian male photos. And I don’t think I’m going to stop that. But yeah, this is what really gets me going, and I mean get up and going to keep creating because its mutual respect. Check em out, book ‘em, buy the album A snip from the Blue Scholars’ bio: “Since 2002, Blue Scholars have been based in the 98118, decreed the most ethnically diverse zip code in America by the 2010 Census. Like the greater Seattle region, that neighborhood embodies the multi-cultural miasma that spawned Blue Scholars, the joining of forces between an Iranian DJ/producer and a Filipino rapper. These are dudes who nourish their bodies with Vietnamese coffee, Ethiopian injera, and steaming bowls of phở. “
