Mailbox Music Thursdays?

Once again I find myself with an overwhelming amount of solid MP3's on my desktop that I don't think I could ever find enough time to get around to giving each the proper review that they deserve. My best option is probably to start doing Licorice Pizza-style mailbox clearing posts every Thursday. Just throwing it out there, let us know what you think.

Highlights for me this time around include Blackalicious member Gift of Gab's new solo release, pyschadelic duo Sunbears! who's show we saw at Granada a few months back and believe me it way outdoes their recorded material. There's also a few new ones from one of SubEx's fav remixers Dave Wrangler who we still think should make his way to Big D for a few club gigs before too long. And probably the biggest buzzing act from the list are The Very Best, but when you look at some of their famous collaborators (M.I.A. and Vampire Weekend's Ezra Koenig just to name 2) it's really no wonder.
