FEATURED: His Name Is Alive

When His Name Is Alive—the Michigan-based '90s alt. band—released Someday My Blues Will Cover The Earth in 2001, it had an effect on us, especially the track “Write My Name In The Groove”. Firstly, because the song was featured in a compilation from French music mag Les Inrockuptibles that year (oh, how we love our import magazines) and secondly, because Someday… was released at the same time as Alicia Keys’ Songs In A Minor, and the resemblance between the two records was quite remarkable. “Write My Name In The Groove” is coasting R&B like Keys but with more wit, credibility, and hurt: HNIA vocalist Lovetta Pippen nails the aching of the lyrics perfectly. Bury Me Not featured Someday…-era His Name Is Alive today.

Our friends at Warp have just posted about beatmaster Flying Lotus' Thanksgiving trip to the U.K. where, in addition to completing a brief mini-tour, FlyLo recorded a show for legendary pirate radio program Rinse FM (an outlet where such grime names like Dizzee Rascal and Wiley first made their debuts). This is a huge deal, and the show is super hot, so check it out!
