According to Billboard.com, Naughty By Nature, one of the most successful crossover hip-hop acts of the 90’s, and one of my personal favorites, has reportedly decided to reunite to record a new album, set to release sometime early 2009.  The group plans to release the album independently, which is tentatively titled “Anthem Inc”.

“We’re going to make universal party tracks with great hooks; street anthems, social and political anthems, anthems for the ladies.”

Remember the tiny record playing VW bus called the Vinyl Killer? Yeah i never wound up getting one either, but now there is a variation on it called the Sound Chaser.

Unlike the Vinyl Killer, the Sound Chaser is not restricted to driving in circles endlessly, but rather whatever path you choose to send it on. The designers of the product, Yuri Suzuki and Yaroslav Tencer were careful to point out that the records they used were “cheap records bought at jumble sales or used record shops,” so as to not offend those of us who generally prefer our vinyl intact.

UK-based Grammy Award winning duo The Chemical Brothers are set to release a new ‘Best Of’ collection titled Brotherhood beginning of September.

The album will be comprised of 2 discs, the first containing 13 singles from the band’s back catalogue, along with a new track titled “Keep My Composure”, which features Baltimore’s Spank Rock. The second CD will contain the Electronic Battle Weapons 1-10, of which 1-9 have previously been scarcely available on various limited formats.
