So Kanye posted up this mention of Santogold (his “favorite artist”) on his blog, and I highly recommend you all go check it out, then get check out the track I’m a Lady quickfast. I have to say this new shit she’s doing is quite impressive. On that note, I thought I’d put up a stream of the track that Eric and I worked on with her, Spank Rock, and Tyler + Mario from !!! (pow pow pow pow pow). It’s a wild assortment of cats, but I really like it (especially Naeem’s crazy / creepy vocals) — check it out below.
Looking for a tiny, square, four channel digital recorder? Did you say yes? That’s weird. At any rate, Samson has got one for you… and it’s a doozy. The Zoom H2, a stout little device, packs all kinds of features that you’ll want when you’re out recording in the field, bootlegging Green Milk From the Planet Orange, or interviewing the older brother from Mr. Belvedere, like 64Kbps to 320Kbps MP3 bitrates, 24 bit / 96KHz WAV sample rates, SD support to 4GB, mic in, line in, a USB 2.0 jack, and a 3D channel mixer (for mixing the four channels, of course). The recorder also has handy features like auto gain, time stamping, and an on board tuner, which will make your portable recording sessions about as tolerable as possible. The whole delightful package will only run you $200, and you’re sure to win friends and influence others once they see how together you are. Available now, bodacious riffs and lunch with Rob Stone not included.
Note: This post was meant to go up on Engadget, but was a duplicate, unfortunately. I happen to like the way I wrote it, so now it’s here, forever.
