MySpace, your music : Blue Scholars + Natalie Walker

I'm still a year behind, but I'm catching up on indie music. MySpace discoveries courtesy of IODAcast: Blue Scholars and Natalie Walker.

What drew me to hiphop duo Blue Scholars is not the thought of Ateneo students but the title of their release, Bayani. Must be Pinoy, I thought. And I'm half-right: Geologic, "the raps" half is of Pinoy descent. Sabzi, "the slaps" half, is Iranian-American. "Bayani" means hero in Filipino and the word in Farsi. Isn't that cool?

Natalie Walker has a voice you'd want to drown in, whatever the tempo of her song is, whether it's remixed or not.
