Music You'd Better Listen To - Blue Scholars - Motion Movement Website / Myspace...

MYBLT is a daily collection of songs you should be listening to.

It's also a series of short essays written as Aidan listens to the songs he's posting.

It may also be other things related to music you'd better listen to. More on that later.

You'd better be listening by now.

MYBLT is one of Aidan's many blogs.

If your song is on here and you want it taken down, email me and I'll take it off straight away.

In the meantime, I'll be respectful and link to a couple of your sites.

Blue Scholars - Motion Movement

Website / Myspace / iTunes

We interrupt this should-be-a-Hot-Biscuits-track (especially after the two-day delay… had some friends in town, and Tuesday was a biiiiiiiiiiiig day) for some Blue Scholars.

I’ve been exploring these guys’ catalogue for the past week or so… ever since I heard about the revolutionary news that a label signed to them (and not the other way around), I had a couple of words with their manager (and an acquaintance from my Just For Laughs days) David, and a friend of mine recommended them to me.

I’ve been liking their stuff — the beats are way stronger than I expect from most independent hip hop, and the rapper’s flow is often hypnotic. And then Motion Movement just jumped out at me today, while listening to their self-titled 2005 album.

What an anthemic chorus. “The roof is on fire. What’s your solution?”

Now, I could bitch about a personal issue that that question fits with, but I won’t. Let’s just say that it resonated with me, and with an email I sent in the earlier part of today.
