| | Chicharones Pork Rind Disco CD Chicharones Discography of CDs
A preview EP for the Chicharones' second full-length album, which was released later in 2005, Pork Rind Disco continues the tongue-in-cheek grooves of the duo's 2003 debut, Boss Hogs. Rappers Josh Martinez and Sleep -- both of whom have ongoing solo careers -- mostly use the Chicharones to exercise their wilder sides in an atmosphere that mixes old school rap and party rap, vintage-sounding samples, and a fondness for porky puns, but Pork Rind Disco also hints at their more serious sides. The title track is the Chicharones at their silliest (it also appears in an electro remix at disc's end), but the other four songs are, somewhat surprisingly, closer to Martinez and Sleep's solo work, hinting in particular at the mellow, jazz-tinged feel of Martinez's recent album Midriff Music. "Can't Find the Time" in particular has this more relaxed vibe, based around a slow and soulful piano figure. Three of the five proper songs also appear in redundant instrumental mixes, but the first half of Pork Rind Disco is solidly entertaining underground rap that balances the silly and the serious surprisingly easily. (A note for collectors: the mixes of "Pork Rind Disco," "Can't Find the Time," "Guys Like Me," and "Red Carpet Treatment" on this EP are not the same as those that appeared on the album a few months later.) ~ Stewart Mason

Purchase Pork Rind Disco CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Pink Funhouse CD (2008) Explicit
Pork Rind Disco album
 $13.49   
Pink's insistently hooky, attitude-filled pop-rock has kept the singer a fixture on the radio and on singles charts since the early 2000s. The artist's fifth effort, FUNHOUSE, doesn't tamper with the formula: Pink's powerhouse vocals and in-your-face approach, backed by stadium-sized production, are in full effect on all 12 tracks. Even though the album deals primarily with aftermath of her divorce and includes serious moments of self-confrontation like "Sober," fans needn't worry that Pink has lost any of her chutzpah.
If anything, there's ...
| | Robin Thicke Sex Therapy: The Experience CD (2009) Bonus Tracks; Deluxe Edition
Pork Rind Disco CD music
$15.95
Sex Therapy is an evasive maneuver to prevent Robin Thicke from being pigeonholed as a "grown folks" R&B singer. It's evident that hits -- more specifically, appealing to younger listeners -- is the goal. While Thicke's previous album, Something Else, did well on the album charts, it maintained a classicist sound throughout, produced only one major single, and featured only one appearance from a guest MC. Sex Therapy, however, enlists Snoop Dogg, Jay-Z, the Game, Kid Cudi, and Nicki "Stick shift the ding-a-ling" Minaj -- not to mention Estelle and Jazmine Sullivan, both of whom contribute excellent background vocals on their respective appearances. Thicke heightens the brashness downplayed on Something Else, best applied on the title track, where the cunning contrast between his masculine certitude and feather-light falsetto is in full effect. That he does it while lifting the melody ...
| | R Kelly Untitled CD (2009)
Pork Rind Disco music CDs
$13.49 
After his aborted, Internet-leaked 2008 album, 12 Play: 4th Quarter, R. Kelly busied himself with guest spots for Beyoncé, T-Pain, and Kanye West, even offering a free download on iTunes, "I Believe," inspired by the election of president Barack Obama. While such moves ensured that Kelly would never stray far from the R&B throne he's occupied for more than a decade, his 2009 reboot of 12 Play, Untitled, should provide more than enough reason for fans to keep coming back for more. From Auto-Tune-laden crowd-pleasers like "Outta the Game" and "Crazy Night" to rousing club-oriented numbers like "Echo," Kelly downplays the slower "baby-making" jams this time around for a set of largely uptempo songs, capped by a sultry collaboration with Keri Hilson ("Number One"). ~ Andy Kellman

| | Madlib Miles Away: The Last Electro-Acoustic Space Jazz & Percussion Ensemble CD (2010)
Pork Rind Disco CD music
$13.74 
Miles Away is the second offering from Madlib's Last Electro-Acoustic Space Jazz & Percussion Ensemble. The first, Summer Suite, was only available in limited quantities in Japan. The title here is an obvious nod to Miles Davis, but it's only a nod. Each of these ten tracks is dedicated to a jazz artist -- but Miles isn't among them. The sources are less obvious except to hardcore fans of '70s jazz as it met soul, funk, African rhythms, and Middle Eastern and Indo-Asian sounds. The heavy percussion and drum mantra that opens the set on "Derf" (for Derf Reklaw) is the first of many shape-shifting identities this music brings to the listener. It evolves within a minute into a soulful, mantra-like spiritual jazz tome for flute, piano, and imaginative ...

| | Skip Battin Skip CD (1972)
Pork Rind Disco album
$11.79 
The cult classic 1972 solo album from Clyde 'Skip' Battin, who went from scoring hits as early as 1959 as part of the duo Skip & Flip to being a member of the Byrds, New Riders of the Purple Sage and the Flying Burrito Brothers! He also became a chief collaborator with Kim Fowley (who contributes copious quotes to the notes we've included here), so he definitely ranks as one of the key, behind-the-scenes contributors to the whole L.A. country-rock scene. Speaking of Fowley, his fingerprints are all over this album as a lyricist and quasi-producer, and Byrds Roger McGuinn and Clarence White play on it, too. But Battin's love of old-time rock 'n' roll and Tom Lehrer-esque satire are what make this record really unusual, throw some Byrds-like ...

Pork Rind Disco CD music
$13.35
Individual expression is an undeniably important part of jazz; it has certainly worked wonders for Lester Young, Cecil Taylor, Pat Metheny, Chet Baker and a variety of other distinctive, instantly recognizable heavyweights. But teamwork is also quite important; John Coltrane's modal recordings were not only great because of his mighty powers as a soloist, but also because of the strong rapport he enjoyed with sidemen like pianist McCoy Tyner, bassist Jimmy Garrison and drummer Elvin Jones. And teamwork is definitely a positive thing on Brand New, which finds pianist Marc Copland forming a cohesive trio with guitarist John Abercrombie and trumpeter/flugelhornist ...
| | Kanye West Late Registration CD (2005)
Pork Rind Disco music CDs
$10.69 
Throughout the album, West merely continues to perfect his craft, slowing tracks down and speeding them up into an awe-inspiring mosaic. While his MC style is often discounted as being of secondary importance, he shines when put up against the best in the game, as with Common on the bluesy "My Way Home" or Nas on the lush "We Major." And in the spirit of Bob Dylan, West knows how to make the most of a very original voice. LATE REGISTRATION is ample proof of West's staying power.
Rapper/producer Kanye West's second album, LATE REGISTRATION, incredibly lives up to expectations following his universally acclaimed debut, THE COLLEGE DROPOUT, which ...
| | Mose The Third Social Responsibility CD (2003)
Pork Rind Disco songs
$6.69
Milleniums ago, the powers that be designed what was known as the caste system. The caste system was created to dictate the social status of people in the world by monetary means. This game of pimps and prostitutes further developed into social classes. Once this caste system modernized into social classes, the upper and lower classes were formed and were divided by the middle class. Citizens fought hard to become part of the "elite" upper class even if it meant turning on family and friends. The working class became known as lumpen-proletariats. Many of these members sought fame and wealth at any cost because of the "good life" that the upper class appeared to be living. Phonies who gained admission into the "elite" class became confused after realizing that their roots would always tie back to the lumpen-proletariat life no matter how hard they sought to escape. After realizing this fact, it was too late because the same roots that they attempted to abandon formed in to strong trees with branches that no longer reached out to them.Admist the anarchy and confusion, a child named Mose III ...
