Here's a little gem I've come across. Nostalgia 77 is the producer Benedic Lamdin and his fourth album, The Sleepwalking Society is due out March 21st. "Simmerdown" is a jazzy little tune that's part Medeski, Martin, and Wood, part Amon Tobin, and part Ella. Strut your stuff to this one. Regular, frequent blogging will return when all of us Digsters get our lives back in order.

Alexander Ebert – he of Edward Sharpe fame – is spittin' rhymes. No joke. Ebert is set to release a solo album, Alexander, March 1st and the first single has him damn near rapping. And it's just as awesome as you'd expect.

This will be short but sweet. I have two sporting events to watch, spicy ranch chicken wings to cook, a website to code, and, hopefully, the Packers victory party to attend…. right? So Snoop is at it again. This time in a promo spot produced by Greenpoint Pictures out of Brooklyn, NY. Very cool camera work, and a half decent track performed by Senor Dogg. I know it's corporate promotional material, but I'm a sucker for topical rap, sue me.
Now, I am a Packers fan, but I can say with 100% certainty that this is better than J-Byrd's Green and Yellow. Check that one out after the jump if you have yet to see it. Spoiler Alert: It's terrible.

I had an appendectomy last week. Definitely not something I recommend, though it has meant a lot of time to listen to music. Here are some highlights from my week of convalescence in our first Weekly Roundup.

Running a bit low on time today since I have to go immerse myself in the babyfest that is my niece's first birthday party. Instead of a proper post I'm going to poach a great band and video from Tsururadio that I've been listening to a bunch since Aaron posted it last week. Vancouver based Said The Whale make straightforward jams to rock out with your…well, you know the rest.

I'm starting a new feature here called Holler Back! where we try to engage more directly with you, our beloved readers. The first write-up is going to double as an entry into the Shrine of Dig since it's one of my favorite all-time songs. Mason Jennings, sir, your song "Ulysses" is the ballad of my life.

A new month brings a new Lupe Fiasco track – the second one dropped from his upcoming album, Lasers. I'm a huge Lupe guy, I've listened to both his albums a brazillion times so the 4 years and massively stupid label battles since The Cool have been frustrating. Thank you Jebus, Lasers is finally due out March 8.

Those Who Dig loved Eric & Magill's lush 2010 album, All Those I Know. We're more than a little excited that they've partnered up with Ten Atom Records and begun a Kickstarter campaign to get the album pressed on vinyl. I'm already giddy thinking about how beautiful this record will sound on wax, so get your asses over there and donate some $$!
Also, check out TWD's previous write up and listen to some tunes.

I've been really into this track from Newfoundland's Hey Rosetta! lately but haven't gotten around to posting it. Now that it's accompanied by an awesome video I'll get off my lazy ass.
