Stanton Moore - Poison Pushy




Hey guys, Zack here. Victoria reminded me to add myself to the baron boombox too, so here I am. I know that most of you out there would never listen to this kind of stuff, but I decided to bring what I have to the table anyway. So here it is.

Born and raised in New Orleans, Stanton Moore is very much a product of geography, culture and creative networking. He grew up in the thriving music scene of his hometown that included Professor Longhair, Doctor John, the Meters and countless other Big Easy mainstays. Moore launched his solo career in the late ‘90s with the All Kooked Out! and has since then released three other solo albums, including what you're listening to here, III.
Emphasis (on parenthis) the followup to III, is due in stores in April 2008. The album includes the scaled back session crew of Moore, Robert Walter and Will Bernard.

Nujabes ft. CL Smooth - Sky is Falling




Jun Seba is a Japanese hip-hop music producer and DJ, as well as a composer and arranger who records under the name Nujabes. His music is known for a strong cool jazz and soul music influence, (jazz x hip hop) frequently using samples from artists like Miles Davis, Pat Metheny, and Yusef Lateef to create warm, mellow tracks. Nujabes rarely plays live and does not make many media appearances, which adds to his enigmatic charisma. His album covers are also very distinct, in particular abstract imagery. (source:wikipedia.org)

In the Mundane world of repetetive beats, Nujabes stands out with his fresh and funky style. Above is a song that features CL Smooth on vocals. The beats and music are purely Nujabes.

The Fire - Akissforjersey

Hailing from Pilot Mountain, North Carolina, Aissforjersey is an up and coming Progressive rock Band. The track "The Fire" is from their recently released album entitled "Victims". Though Akissforjersey may appear to sound like other popular bands such as Panic! at the Disco and Fallout Boy, they do not fall victim to the same repetetive clichés. Rising above most other bands, Akissforjersey is definitely a band to keep an eye on.

Summer Management



Hey Everyone, its Misael. I and a few others will be updating and taking care of Baron Boombox for the summer, so be sure to come back and check for updates. Enjoy the music and your summer as well!

EDIT: Hello, this is Owen. Since I've been gone for quite a while, I haven't been updating at all. But I think it's time to hand over the boombox to next year's Baron Banner. So, Misael and a few others will be updating the Baron Boombox from now on. Enjoy!

Danger, whose real name is not known, is a graphic designer and illustrator from France. Being from France, it's no surprise he can make some good music. If you ever visit his myspace, you'll see the mysterious image he's made for himself. Here are some oddly named tracks, as well as a remixed song.

Sorry


As some of you may have noticed, this blog hasn't been updated in a long while. Senior finals, activities and then graduation kept me busy. Now, I'll be gone for a whole month, so hopefully the other writers on the blog will be able to update a little bit. I might be able to get a post up when I'm in Asia, but we'll see...

Have a great summer, Barons.

EDIT: It's Nam, and I've been gone from the blog for the exact same reasons as Owen, but it's all over now. I'll try to keep this place updated when Owen goes away. Keep listening to the Baron Boombox everybody!
