This week, we had the pleasure of chatting with Relic. As we talked about, he’s got a new album out entitled Golden, which you should at the very least have a listen to. He gave a great little rundown of where he’s come from and where he’s at, but listening again, there’s so much more I wish we could’ve talked about. Hopefully we’ll have the chance to chat again, but in the meantime be sure to check out his bandcamp and soundcloud pages.

Before and after the interview, we had a couple of related tracks. After that, we moved into more hip hop, even squeezing in a short women in hip hop set for International Women’s Day. Of course, the Dirty Needles dudes did it better. But until they start podcasting their shows, you’re stuck with this ;)

For background, read the New Yorker piece from Sasha Frere-Jones and then read Oliver Wang’s piece at NPR. Wang writes:

Listening to the Beastie Boys for the next quarter century, I mostly thought of them as a group package rather than an assortment of distinct MCs. Their telltale style was a three-man, tag team weave, where each rapper – Adam “MCA” Yauch, Adam “Ad Rock” Horovitz and Michael “Mike D” Diamond – often finished each other’s sentences.

I never thought much of the beasties individually until Yauch’s passing, and now with him gone his deep voice speaks out to me from all of their songs. It’s hard to think of the group without him, and that saddens me a lot… more than I expected, in fact.
