Karen Elson – The Ghost Who Walks

karen-elson

“The Ghost Who Walks” is the new single and title track previewed here from model/songstress/wife of Jack White – Karen Elson’s debut LP. the album, also produced by hubby Jack, will be available everywhere via Third Man/XL on May 25. the track is whimsical and drab, yet elegant in all the right ways. we especially love those keys..

like it and BUY it, because if you don’t… you may end up like this. somebody just did us all an awesome.

jose-james-07

we’ve said it once and we’ll say it again… Jose James Blackmagic LP is KILLER! dude blends soul, hip-hop and jazz ALL proper. having worked with Gilles Peterson, Bassment Jaxx, and Flying Lotus to name a few, he’s definitely flying high on the b3sci radar..

if you’re around, Jose performs tonight at Zanzibar in Santa Monica, with bonus dj sets from Quadron (with live vocals), and KCRW’s Anthony Valdez. so to make it official, the b3sci ‘fuck yeah’ meter has reached sensory overload!!
