Another edition of Sampled Saturday and I'm giving this a fresh label as all of these songs have come out within the last month all are hip-hop yet sample non hip-hop songs in mostly the pop genre. Take a listen, guarante

Deadboy is on some kind of run right now. The South London producer serves up another heater on this flip of the oft-remixed (seriously!) "Night Air" Jamie Woon tune. Interesting flip of the track here as the sound is sort of morphed into a 20102d Craig David/Daniel Bedingfield kind of feel. Tell us you hear that too (We ain't crazy!). Regardless, we're digging it and are eagerly anticipate Deadboy's next blend. Jamie Woon - Night Air (Deadboy Remix) Purchase / Info [...]

Do you ever come across something in the music library managing application of your choosing and think 'When and where did this come from? And why don't I listen to this more often?' That's precisely how I happened upon this week's non-guilty pleasures. I was in the rare mood for both Biggie and Sinatra at the same time and started typing "Bedstuy" into the search bar of the music library managing application of my choosing. After stroking the d key, I glanced at the search results: my thought process went something like this: 'I have some [...]

Here is one of my favorite jams from the tape. I'm The Shit (Benzi & Willy Joy Remix) - Gucci Mane download | mp3 Serious flip of this UK Garage-ish tune from a while back. You probably recognize the hits when you heard the gucci mix. I remember when they were playing this on the radio here they were saying he was a girl. Does pretty much sound like a girl. I also made my first ever mashup with [...]

This heatstick has flown way too far underneath the radar. Listen to the opening few seconds, and you'll think I'm throwing Shakira's "Hips Don't Lie" at you, but think again. In 1998, the duo of Lord Tariq and Peter Gunz dropped "Deja Vu (Uptown Baby)", and while it should've changed the world, it was left underappreciated. Do us all a favor and drop this baseline real quick, you'll be gettin loose in no time. Download: Lord Tariq & Peter Gunz - Deja Vu (Uptown Baby) [...]

Been having one of those periods we all get when things just seem a bit too much to be bothered with. Lethargy, apathy, disillusionment, call it whatever you will, but that's partly the reason for my lack of posts recently. It will pass, I'm sure. However, in this 'altered state' I've also been a little sorry to see so few posts, blogs, articles, etc. on the "inter-web" that have sparked the usual level of interest for me. Hence the lack of the 'Highlights of the [...]

MY MORNING JACKET-Evil Urges. No, they ain't indie no more. But they still have the indie sound. And I have a real weakness for this band. Z is one of my favorite albums of the last 10 years.
Paris Falls are a Houston-based husband-and-wife team who have self-released two CD volumes of their own compositions (available for cheap at their myspace page). They show remarkable range, from catchy pop ("Walk Away") to edgier jam-rock ("Shallow"), and much in between. Even the "Untitled" instrumental from Volume 2 is good. Rock instrumentals [...]
Their first album was one of the great pop/rock albums in recent history. Their second . . . Not so much. Because they asked to be taken seriously, there, as songwriters. (An acoustic song about a junkie uncle? From the authors of the lyric "You had a boyfriend who looked a [...]
The folks at the BBC Radio love cover songs just as much as we do, except they have the power to command covers. Whether it's assembling artists to recreate Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band , celebrating their 40 year history with 40 cover songs , or simply demanding their musical guests to perform covers. While I've long been aware of Jo Whiley's Live Lounge show on BBC Radio 1 as a source for unlikely covers, a reader told me last month that musical guests on BBC Radio 2's Dermot O'Leary show [...]

I am so done with this week. In celebration of the approaching weekend (which cannot get here soon enough), here are some weekend-themed songs. Backstreet Boys member Nick Carter released a solo album, Now Or Never , in 2002, after the release of Black and Blue . Now Or Never has more rock influence than any of the BSB albums did up to that point, though it's still definitely pop. It didn't do too well (at least compared to expectations), which is a shame, [...]
