What I'm listening to today: "The Terrorist", DJ Vadim & Motion Man
Motion Man is an Oakland rapper so far under the radar he has no Wikipedia page and at least one album of his I've listened to is not on Allmusic. If you know him it's probably from a guest spot he did on someone else's song, probably Kool Keith's, and you remember him because he absolutely steals every track he appears on.
Here, for a 1999 DJ Vadim single: Villainous pronouncements over supersaws

What I'm listening to today: "Concerto for Cello and Wind Orchestra" (Overture), Friedrich Gulda
I don't know much about Gulda, but apparently his career was marked by a desire to work in both classical music but also jazz (back in an era when jazz was still cutting edge and/or illegal). This 1980 piece feels like he was asked to compose a concerto but he just really, really wanted to make funk music. This slaps. This cellist is fucking shredding
