Hip-Hop and Herbie

FYI, I'll be writing a post about some hip-hop I've been digging recently on Sunday. It'll include a review of the Digable Planets concert I'll be attending tomorrow night. In the meantime, I'll point people looking for a musical fix into a couple of directions.

If hip-hop is what you're looking for, check out etnobofin's recent blog post about New Zealand's hip-hop scene.

If you're looking for something a little more old school in nature, I suggest a podcast featuring Herbie Hancock. This podcast was created by jazz producer Bob Belden and explores Herbie's session work as an accompanist during the late '60s, containing unreleased and rare stuff from Bob's private collection.
