The DJs in The Rub have been putting together mixes chronicling the history of hip-hop--with each mix being devoted to one year, beginning in 1979--and right now they have a hard drive-busting 21 volumes up. (A few of the earlier mixes are available via ZShare downloads, no doubt to alleviate bandwidth costs.) [The Rub, via Rapidshare]

I forsee many hours of DLs in my future....
I've got an album recommendation up on my LJ:
Dirt Poor Robins, The Cage.
Coorwood! I got the CD and it is MADE OF COUNTRY AWESOME. Thank you so much. I suspect my father will be stealing it from me.
Attn Tom Scola:
I interviewed Dean Wareham this morning and he told me that the Feelies were reuniting for some shows this summer!!!!1!

Holy heck!!!
I know I've mentioned before that the Feelies at the Paradise in Boston was one of the best shows I've ever been to. Top 10 definitely.
Hmmm... do ya' suppose they'll tour nationally, or will I have to schlep my ass out east? And, you know, kill everyone who gets in my way....
Holy fuck! I may have to take a trip up East to see that, too.
I never saw the Feelies back when they were a going concern. I'd been a fan since high school (1987, around the time of The Good Earth), but I can only remember one time they came down South. That was fall of 1991, and they played a music festival in Birmingham. I was not just broke as hell but I had to work that night, and I ended up missing it. Broke my heart.
