three to tango: gotan

Monday notes:

-If you're going to (allegedly) smuggle 465 pounds of ecstasy into the U.S. from Canada (a record haul), try not to use a boat named "Just Chillin'". The E, by the way, was reportedly and allegedly headed for Los Angeles and Houston.

-London-based jazz-and-electronic outfit Slow Train Soul has an album, Santimanitay, coming at you Feb. 13 via the Quango label.

-Reuters gives you a primer on how to transfer your vinyl to digital.

-Canadian newspaper takes a look at the Gotan Project's latest album, Lunatico. The French-based, Latin-flavored group (above) has been getting a lot of play lately on the F/X show Nip/Tuck, by the way.
