• The Download: New Mick Boogie Mixtape

  The 51st annual Grammy Awards is set to kick off on Sunday, so the duo who brought us Viva La Hova is providing us with an audio crib sheet. From the Mick Boogie website. "Ironically, looking back at our projects the past 12 months, it seems we were definitely barking up the right tree... since Coldplay, Jay-Z and Adele all were nominated for multiple Grammys. We decided to go through the list of nominees and work with our favorite producers to come up with some really cool takes on your favo

• Video: NOVA scienceNOW on Auto-Tune

  PBS' NOVA program recently featured a segment on the much over-used (and evidently dead, according to Jay-Z) bit of computer software known as Auto-Tune. Thanks to the miracle of YouTube, you can find out all the science behind the whys and wherefores of how this miracle bit of coding has allowed the likes of Kanye and T-Pain to reach new heights of music sales. NPR has done two stories on the software, as well--one this past November, and another in 2004. Public broadcasting is bigger than hip

• Download dj BC's Muppet Mashup

  While I'm always impressed with the work Girl Talk does, I've always been slightly more impressed by artists like the Kleptones, who are able to take a single artist and turn their work into the backdrop for a sound collage. Danger Mouse did it most famously with The Grey Album, combining the Beatles and Jay-Z into something that he's been able to turn into a career as a producer. The Kleptones' work on A Night At the Hip-Hopera (with Queen as their jump-off), as well as how they turned the Fla

• Anti-Crew got their mind on their (non-existent) money.

  Anti-Crew ain't feeling the whole post-grad, student-debt thing. And as many of us older cats carry our student loans into our 30s and 40s, neither are we, dadgummit! On the newly released track, "Money," the Chicago-via-KC crew sweats the green stuff -- not having it, that is -- over two distinctly different but thematically appropriate samples. Jordan Robinson The first part of the song finds core MCs FlareThaRebel and DJ Eternal trading verses over a remix of "C.R.E.A.M." by the Wu-Tang Cl

• Get past the name and go see Wonkachild tonight at the Record Bar

  Wonkachild is in the building​When I told a colleague here at The Pitch that I was excited about an artist named Wonkachild, he said, "What, is he a candy raver or something?" Yeah, 23-year-old Jaqwan Sirls picked a stupid-ass name on which to hang a music career. But even if he went by Fetusmuncher, I'd be encouraging attendance at his show tonight at the Record Bar. Why? Because I listened to his whole album online and didn't skip a single song. It is, as they say, all good. I can clown on S
