PLAYLIST.

You know...
Folks always say to me, "Hey Anacron, what do you listen to?"
That's what they say. Just like that.

I never seem to have a definitive answer, so I've decided to start infrequently blogging what artists & songs I play while doing random menial tasks.

This is what I listened to while sorting and replying to my out of control pile of emails.

Norah Jones - Say Goodbye (Jose Padilla RMX)
Keelay & Zaire - Alright With Me ft Dminor & Phonte
K'Naan - Gold In Timbuktu
Braxtek - Spring
Oh No Ono - Helplessly Young
Hi-Tek ft Dion, Q-Tip, Kurupt - Keep It Moving
Black Iris Music - Firehydrant Floods
Tila Tequila - I F*cked The DJYuna x Adventure Club - Lullabies (VILLAGE Remix)
The Colored Section - Bomb MC
The Easton Ellises - Dance It, Dance All (Motel Costes Mix)
Pete Rock ft Camp Lo - Starlight Glitz

I hope that you can find the time to look up some of these artists and tracks.
Your iPod (or Zune) will love you for it.

Does anyone even use Zune?
Peace out, yawl.

ATYPICAL.

ANAMANIACS: My full-length 2007 release, "atypicalcd" has migrated from iTunes to GooglePlay... Listen via the cloud with Android phones, tablets, & standard desktop computers! http://goo.gl/tcrMb

Album Title: Atypicalcd
Artist: Anacron
Album Production: Anacron, Old Man Malcolm, Earmint, Subterrain Area
Featured Artists: Irie, PervOne, Astrobwoy, Christian Riley
Length: 14 Tracks / Approximately 55 Minutes

Label: PntGllryNtwrk
Release: Street Winter 2007 / Distribution Spring 2008

Finally, the most-known-unknown renaissance artist in hip hop returns with his first solo release in over 5 years. Atypicalcd is a full-length album that serves as an official re-introduction to second-generation Los Angeles underground veteran Anacron, who re-located to and assisted in cultivating Chicago’s budding hip hop scene at the dawn of the new millennium. Anacron shines brightly on this album, boasting his easily relatable, catchy, and conversational songwriting, rapping, and singing skills throughout the listen. In addition to his own traditionally inventive beat production style, the sonically crisp LP also features production by Chicago’s underground mainstay Earmint, and SubterrainArea from southern France. Old Man Malcolm, the DJ/producer of Citizen King, Garbage, Codebreaker, Newsense, Minus After, and several other noteworthy groups, also makes an appearance in preparation for Cornrowz, a forthcoming collaborative major release with Anacron. Vocal guests include Pairograffs comrade Irie, Peanut Gallery Network member and Seattle transplant PervOne, Newsense bassist and vocalist Christian Riley, and long-time Los Angeles collaborator Astrobwoy.

Anacron has released over 15 solo and group projects since 1994, but is most recognized for his efforts as project coordinator, producer, and lyricist on the heralded classic underground album Pals (Galapagos 4 / Basement Records) by Netherworlds (Murs, Himself, and Anacron). Already privy to a dedicated following and steadily growing fan-base, Anacron is a well-known figure in other sects of the hip hop and entertainment world, and has remained an active yet low-key element in the global hip hop scene throughout the past decade. Atypicalcd serves as the gateway to a string of upcoming releases that will re-introduce the various talents of, and make the world fall in love with the UNFAMOUS super-star quality of Anacron.

HANGOUT.

This past Saturday, via the magic of Hangouts (Google+'s AWESOME group video chat feature), 82 people from around the world watched me write a happy little ditty called "Walking Through The Park". Most only recognize me as a hip hop artist, but as a composer and songwriter as well, it was nice to sit down and share this side of my talents with a few listeners. In fact, I liked it so much, that I'll be making it a regular thing!

If you're interested in seeing and hearing me create music in real time, hit up my Google+ profile at http://gplus.to/AnacronMusic, and add me to your circles! Whenever I'm doing a new songwriting Hangout, you'll be notified on G+.
