Aloe Blacc Live at KEXP
This was one of the coolest things I've been a part of since I started volunteering with El Mizell on Street Sounds at the beginning of the year. We went in to do a taping of Aloe Blacc and he had brought along members of the group Quetzal to play along for two of his four songs. I was sitting in on the performance and he asked me to film the last few songs. How could I say no?
This is the last song of the set entitled "Politician" and he went into a improvised whistling solo at the end that really brought it home nicely.

I Need A Dollar
My new favorite song happens to be the opening to my new favorite show. "I Need A Dollar" by Aloe Blacc is the theme song to the new HBO series How To Make It In America aka the realistic Entourage. Dude is signed to Stones Throw (suprise) and will be releasing his new album Good Things sometime this year. The track is produced by Truth & Soul, and featuring the backing band known as Expressions and El Michels Affair.
The 12-inch vinyl for “Dollar” - which I will be copping that instantly - will be in stores April 2010. It has the single and instro, along with a B side called "Take Me Back" that is way too soulful to be contemporary.You can download the mp3 single from the Stones Throw website.
