James Anthony "Tony" Simon: Blockhead

The head of this blog added me a while back. While I think I might of snuck a post in once... other than that I've been lax. After a long hiatus from music, due to backlogs of audio books, I present another post.

I've liked another artist this cat is associated with for a while though just realized they had worked together previously. Blockhead (his given name is in the title) is Manhattan based and has worked with a number of independent hip hop and rap artist. Most significantly for me being Aesop Rock who I've appreciated for some time. I've been listening to a few of his albums on loop while gouaching away some cold Siberian nights. Also, turns out it's quite possible to listen to music and an audio book simultaneously.

I'll strongly recommend the three albums I have currently; Music by Cavelight, Interludes after Midnight, Uncle Tony's Coloring Book. There's touches of jazz, a bit of arabic influence, and the sneaky bit of spoken word here and there. Have fun kids.
