Hey hey, David Thomas Broughton is featured in this month’s Fader!!! He is the lead artist in their Gen F section, which profiles artists on the rise. In the article he discusses his methods for making his most recent album, as well as plans for his next album, so check it out! It’s the issue with Baby Cham/Destroyer on the cover. Pick yourself up a copy, you won’t be disappointed.

We received the tragic news today that Jay Dee aka J Dilla has passed away. Rather than dwell on this sadness, though, we want to celebrate the amazing music he gave us. Below is a link to his entire discography. If you’re not familiar with his work, go out and pick some things up. He is definitely one of the most influential and creative artists of his generation, and he will be greatly missed.
