Our Fave of the Year So Far

25 August 2008

Hello all!

Being that NoGoodz is such a new institution at such a late hour we felt it was necessary for us to do a quick catch-up on all the goodness that’s dropped this year on the ears of those close and far. Now, to get a handle on how we roll things here in the music department, you gotta understand that we love to cull the multitudes of mp3blogs that litter the inter-waves for the tip-top in music sampling.

In a post-iTunes era, the idea of buying whole albums to get one damn song has been made such the outdated practice.

Furthermore, the immediate finding of the latest and the greatest that music has to offer these days now rests in the hands of those diligent bloggers who drop on the world the hottest at the earliest possible moment. Therefore, I , your trusty DJ R2-DCup, will bring you the best that I can find via the interwebs in one pile.
