The Modern Lovers — The Modern Lovers
Pretty sure The Strokes owe a lot to these guys — and Julian Casablancas' father.
Alice in Chains — Dirt
A masterpiece of morbidity, cynicism, and self-loathing, as seen through the glaze and haze of the late Layne Staley's eyes. Kinda makes you wonder where Alice in Chains would fit in where musical history is concerned had he not been a junkie.
Prince — Batman
Bizarrely experimental concept album by musical genius and well-known lover of griddled breakfast batter, Prince. As much as I love his mainstream joints from the 80s, it's this cacophony of pop and artistic bravado that welcomingly haunts me.

Dirty Life is the recording studio of Paco the G Train Bandit, housed in Astoria, Queens. I hang out there a fair amount; mostly doing editing on my video projects, while he mixes and engineers the tunes of some supremely talented indie hip-hop artists from around the city, including his own. Pac's got a web series called Cypher Sundays, where he hosts a variety of rappers at the studio, who spit their own lyrics — or freestyle verses — over a pre-made beat. I was brought in to run second camera for Eps. 12 & 13, so I felt it in order to produce my 35 and snap off a few stills as we were filming. Check out the artists and the webseires. If I had to guess, you could probably use some new ( i.e. – good) music on your iPod.
