There isn't much golf going on in my neck of the woods these days since everything is buried under about a foot and a half of snow and ice.  But I do get a little bit of indoor practice done from time to time.  Usually, I do some putting and chipping in the basement and some swing work in the mirror - and I've got to have some music on in the background otherwise I'll only practice for 5 minutes.

I'll  be posting more of what I've been listening to in future installments, so stay tuned.  Here's what I've been listening to lately. 

I picked up BlakRoc a few weeks back.  It's a collaborative effort from blues/rock group The Black Keys and hip hop/R&B artists like Mos Def, RZA, Q-Tip, Jim Jones and Nicole Wray.  It's not like other rap-rock albums that typically seem contrived or forced.  Blues and hip hop are not-too-distant relatives so it's really less of a mash-up and more of a creative fusion.  It reminds me a little bit of how The Roots sound live but with more blues and less 70's R&B funk.

There's also a series of webisodes that were produced to give listeners an inside look at the 'creative process' (i.e. weed, Hennessy, champagne) and how the tunes evolved into their finished form.  The one above is RZA's day in the studio.  It's pretty damn funny.  You can check out the rest of the videos over here.
