Old Punch Card

Sam Prekop ·2010

"Old Punch Card, it's a really neat record. It's more electronic-based but really some really interesting twists and turns here that I would recommend."

Turk Jerk

Tandy Love ·2011

"Turk Jerk presents Tandy Love, and it's funny because of course Gruff Rhys, the guy from Super Furry Animals, he would... this jerk ain't no chicken and it's an atomic funk rooster of the fuzziest kind."

No Time for Dreaming (feat. Menahan Street Band)

Charles Bradley ·2011

"Charles Bradley, no introduction for this guy. He's obviously the newcomer, the heavy hitter, he's a Dap-Tone artist, and we went on after him in a festival in Montreal and he just slaughtered the place."

Shades of Blue: Madlib Invades Blue Note

Madlib ·2003

"I thought why don't I give Shades of Blue: Madlib another chance. I remember listening to this a while back and just thinking I don't know if I'm into it that much... he was given access to the Blue Note tapes or the reels or whatever, I think he was a pretty lucky guy."

Afro-Cuban

Kenny Dorham ·2007

"I heard one song on... we have a jazz station back in Toronto called jazz FM and I heard one track recently and I thought yeah I got to get Afro-Cuban by Kenny Dorham."

World Painted Blood

Slayer ·2009

"World Painted Blood, sorry to get off track there, you know, public display of dismemberment, human strain, hate worldwide. I don't know what these guys are up to lyric-wise, but there you go."
