Underground Fossils was an indie rap focused blog run by myself (Dimxsk) and by Trylemma, who passed August 3rd, 2024 from liver failure of unknown origin at the age of 34. We mostly posted week or twice weekly, the bulk of which were rare rips we made, found on old blogs, he acquired through his insanely broad connection to the scene, etc. We did all we could to make sure we didn't post stuff that (1) You could still reasonably buy from the artist directly, (2) You could reasonably buy secondhand for cheap, (3) You could download easily elsewhere, (4) The artist(s) asked us not to for any reason. Being involved in this blog was some of the most fun I ever had, even if at times it was time consuming, challenging or intimidating (having a readership). It was the product of one of the best friendships I've ever had. If I could say one last thing, it's to encourage all of you: if you have the time and desire, make your own UGF. Find a friend who loves this shit like you do and build it together. It will bring you incredible joy, enhance your connection to this amazing community, and change your life in unexpected and exciting ways. I know it did mine. Love you all!

Filkoe - Shooting Stars (2009)

 

 

 

Here's something weird. Basically my girlfriend insisted I get a haircut tonight and I already had this one uploaded for some reason.

This one is not for everyone. This is barely rap. It's barely music in a lot of places. Mostly it has value as a collectors item for people like me who occasionally enjoy Filkoe's work and as a result want to collect all of it.

If you've heard any of the elusive releases by Dug Yuck, this is what you're getting on this release. High pitched sing songy rapish vocals over field recordings and acoustic guitar. It's not a wonderful album but it's kinda fun in it's own way, and Filkoe is pretty cool on occasion. He manages to convey ominous dread while sounding like a clown in a funhouse. I guess that's not exactly rocket science though...


"Enjoy" Shooting Stars!
