Craig White’s Comments (group member since Oct 04, 2017)

Craig White’s comments from the Amazon exiles group.

for all you fans of rammstein and their side projects, nov 5 sees the release of a new album by richard z. kruspe's emigrate, featuring the obligatory guest vocal spot by till lindemann,

amazon.co.uk/PERSISTENCE-MEMORY-Emigr...

i'm glad i downloaded 'the low end theory - japan edition re-mastered' to my wmp before it vanished off bandcamp along with a tribe called quest's page thereon, with no explanation or refund. might just be a technical hitch, or someone bootlegging using their name, hoping it ain't no scam thing. whatever it's a magnificent album (hanif abdurraqib was spot on with his writings on it), with jazz grooves being hit by killer beats and exemplary rapping, mostly by the late phife dawg.
can't follow up on where it's gone as bandcamp's 'help' service is as useful as a chocolate ashtray!

ay caramba!

i blame the brilliant Hanif Abdurraqib for this purchase,

atribecalledquesthq.bandcamp.com/albu...

groundbreaking fusion of hip-hop with be-bop and jazz, with conscious and direct rapping, from the days before sampling became too expensive!
bandcamp have recently included their digital catalogue for $7 a download - you can choose between original and re-mastered on some titles.

you know me, val, ahm reet simple, so you can rely on me to participate as it is, without necessarily knowing much about the game - i'm open to any ideas any might have, but remember - you can have too much fun! :)

completing the prose output of hanif abdurraqib,

Go Ahead in the Rain - not a biography on a tribe called quest, but an eloquent tribute to what they meant to the author. not essential to be familiar with their music, and you'll wish he'd written about your favourite band. even manages to fold in the death of leonard cohen into comparison to the passing of phyfe dawg (atcq). superb essential writings.

now on Nina Simone's Gum written by bad seed in chief, warren ellis, and centred around the chewing gum taken from nina simone's piano after a performance at the nick cave curated 'meltdown' 1999, and how it became a relic for ellis. fascinating stuff.

slip sludgin' away.......
