TOTD: .Hinge - Mea Culpa

I picked up this album second hand in a 3 for $10 special from Red Eye solely because it was on Creative Vibes (RIP). It's not the sort of thing I'd usually listen to, but it's pretty good nonetheless.

Battle cats

I found myself musing this evening that in the pantheon of great human ideas, putting a saddle on a lion, tiger or panther and sallying forth into battle rarely rates a mention. I was somewhat crushed to discover after roughly 136 seconds of googling various permutations of "battle cat", "battlecat", "tiger saddle" and "riding a tiger into battle", that it probably didn't ever happen. I guess that explains it.

TOTD: Mayer Hawthorne - Maybe so, maybe no

TOTD: Quantic presents Flowering Inferno - Dub Del Pacifico

Quantic, aka Will Holland has made music as Quantic, The Quantic Soul Orchestra, Flowering Inferno and most recently as Quantic and his Combo Barbaro. This track is from his Flowering Inferno album, which has a distinctly dubby influence, but retains the soul, afrobeat and latin influences that pervade all his music.
