“Lord Lord Lord” – Mos Def, Swizz Beatz, Raekwon,... →
So, I heard so much talk across the internet that this song was so great, that I decided to take a listen. Well, it ain’t the great.

This is one of my oldest (living) posts from the original vinyl4giants website. It’s a very good, melodic record, and it visits a little more of the psychedelic side, rather than the rock & roll side of guitarist John McLaughlin… Taken from original post:
Here’s another one for you guys. Got this one a while ago, but haven’t bothered to listen to it until recently....

So I switched over to tumblr because it looked cool, and I was getting sweated by Blogger for “sharing” music, so I relocated… Anyways, looks like my old spot is still up & running, and is still getting hits. Feel free to go through and pillage what you still can, while you still can. It has 163,000 hits at the moment…
