Blast from the Past
Time Traveling, Vespertine
Often I like to think about my musical past, about artists, and more specifically albums, that significantly changed the way I thought about music. Björk is one of those definitive artists for me, and Vespertine is the album that truly solidified my love for her. This album hasn’t even been out for that long, so [...]
Time Traveling, Abner Jay
I’m not quite sure how I first came across the music of Abner Jay, but it was sometime in the winter of last year. There’s not that much information available about him, but his music speaks for itself. Heart-wrenching blues sung with an authenticity that is timeless. I almost forgot the most impressive note of [...]
Time Traveling, West African Cosmos
We’ve been slacking on our blasts to the past, so I’ll try to do at least one a month from now on. Before the American populous completely consumes another sub-genre of world music (I’m looking at you, Afropop), you must check out West African Cosmos. I stumbled upon this album back in 2002 (long before [...]
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas from Dipped in Dollars! No Christmas is complete without Santa Claus conquering some Martians. Hope you’ve been enjoying the Holidays as much as we have.
Time Traveling: Lizzy Mercier Descloux
It’s been pretty bittersweet being in the green mountains for one last fall, but Lizzy Mercier Descloux will keep me going this season. I’m a sucker for afro pop, and her music is weaved with african funk/jazz/blues/punk/experimental influences. I really wish more artists had tried to tackle this genre. She slowly became a staple of [...]
Blast from the Past: Outkast
Obviously new music is not always the best music. I decided to take a trip back to 1996 recently, with my own personal reinvestigation of Outkast‘s ATLiens. Sometimes I forget how much I enjoy Andre3000′s flow, and this album is an excellent reminder. Hopefully this brings back pleasant memories for you, or fosters new ones. [...]
WHO WE ARE
Dipped in Dollars (D.I.D.) is the brainchild of Chief and Danger. While attending a crazy liberal arts college in Vermont, we realized our mutual love of righteous dance music, art, and the people behind them. D.I.D. exists to share this love with you and hopefully turn you on to something new. More about the brains behind the brawn, here.
This site exists to promote artists, if you hear something you like, think about throwing the artist(s) a few dollars, buy an album, go to a concert, show them you care. If any artists or official people want us to take any of our links down, just shoot us an email and we'll take care of it. Happy Listening!
