I saw the artwork of Alex Andreyev and I thought it fit perfectly! As the Fall begins and we look towards the next few months of brisk temperatures and brown leaves on the ground, we can rock in unison with this month’s Blind I Says Go!, encompassing all of the vibes that I believe go hand-in-hand with the Autumn months – hard work, coming of age, fun, love, elevated mindstates, balance, impulse – all entwined through music! Your tour guides through these matters are names like Mos Def, Ghostface Killah, Big Boi, Bullion, Hudson Mohawke, The Clipse, Curren$y, Donell Jones, John Mayer, KJ, Pharrell, Madonna, Melanie Fiona, N.E.R.D., Mayer Hawthorne, Now On, The Flaming Lips, other newcomers, and even yours truly! This one’s sure to be an enjoyable experience….so without further ado…..GO!

Newly signed Stones Throw artist Mayer Hawthorne is killin’ it. Really folks, THIS IS SOUL MUSIC. Not the garbage on the FM but real down to earth Soul.

The Detroit native, now LA transplant, is making waves with the likes of Gilles Peterson, Mark Ronson, and music lovers everywhere. I love this dudes story. He was making this music by himself, for only the few folks to appreciate it (family & friends) and then gets picked up by PB Wolf to create a whole album’s worth of material. Living the dream? Hell yes!

Plus not only is he a dope musician and singer as Mayer Hawthorne (plays all the instruments himself) but he’s a dope producer with his group Now On and DJ’s under the name Haircut. Dude is definitely not sleeping.

Neither should you.

A new joint and new video from the West Coast’s Now On entitled “The Willows” . I really like these guys’ music.
