Chet Baker: Let’s Get Lost

by

August 4, 2012

chet-baker-12 copy
We've featured philosophers, intellectuals, artists, and here and there, we'd feature musicians. Throughout early civilizations, the frontiers passionately orchestrated classical music, and eventually, the next generation branched out to jazz. From there, there was rock, hip-hop, and IDM. There was Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Nina Simone, and the Wu-Tang Clan. In the blink of time, there were several artists that paved the roots in silence. In a manner of sincerity, I'd like to share Chet Baker. A documentary, 'Let's Get Lost'.

Dubstep Ain’t Dead. It’s Just Busy

I don't care what music snobs say...I love Dubstep. I'll admit that it's actually pretty hard to find good quality, well-produced, authentic Dubstep tracks these days that doesn't sound waterdowned or a B-side Britney Spears track that didn't make the cut for her latest album...but I still love Dubstep. I truly felt that Dubstep is the music that Transformers made love to, and after this piece by Fluxel Media, I think I could be right.
