Hine and Kane

People often ask Shaky and myself what music inspires us. What do we listen to while we conjure up the words and images that go to make The Bulletproof Coffin the groovy graphic hit that's rockin' the nation?

Well, here's what's spinning on our turntable this week. Let us know if you'd like more tips on what's hot in the world of pop:

Edan - Beauty & The Beat (2005)

Classic psychedelic hip-hop. Not Lovecraft/Sci-Fi stuff like Dr. Octagon, Cannibal Ox or Deltron, but skilled lyricism over more deep funk/soul rarities and psychedelic nuggets such as a completely Headbangers Ball-level reworking of Ogdens Nut Flake by The Small Faces on the track Rock N Roll. I mean how many times are you gonna hear somebody rap over an Arik Einstein track without adding anything to it but some reverb?
