I've taken my eye off the blog ball a bit lately (there it goes now, sailing over the crossbar. Wheeeee), largely because pretty much all the stuff I've been listening to and watching has been Beatles-related. I suppose I could write about the Fabs here but in all honesty they've probably been spoken about once or twice in other places, so I think I'll leave it, if it's all the same to you. Here's some non-Beatles-related music, anyway, to tide us over until I can get my act together. Abnormal service will be resumed as soon [...]

Good morning! Have had the worst morning in months but hope ur all good? Anyway, my morning got better as soon as I opened the lil' inbox of mine and found this gem from Drew & Sean of Team EZY, an Electronic Dub-Hop music production team from Los Angeles, CA. Seriously, 'Pursuit of Happiness' still manage to grow on me, absolutely wonderful! And if u like Team EZY, check out their megamix as well: Team EZY - DANCEiSM Set [09.04.09] by [...]

Last night at the grand opening of RVSP Gallery in Chicago, a star-studded line-up of artists performed including Really Doe, GLC, Mr. Hudson, Consequence, Big Sean, Common and Kid Cudi. Cudi's set was pretty epic, and it included familiar songs such as Jay-Z's single "Already Home," "Down & Out," "Pursuit of Happiness," A Tribe Called Quest's "Buggin' Out," "Day 'N Night," and "Make Her Say." If the free show with Cudi wasn't enough, surprise appearances by both Consequence and Common nearly blew the roof off of the place. Check it out.
Recientemente Kid Cudi estuvo presentando su canción "Pursuit Of Happiness" al lado de los chicos de Ratatat en el show de David Letterman , cabe destacar que los invitados especiales fueron los chicos de Ratatat , incluso en el show también tuvo participación una orquesta para crear un gran performance, creo realmente que Kid Cudi conquistara mas allá de los fans del hip-hop ¿Qué opinan ustedes?

I was sleeping on this new Kid Cudi album until this past weekend and this video is what turned me on to it. I'm sure everyone out there thinks it is a sin that I have been sleeping on this but whatever, I am caught up now. This song and everything that has leaked so [...]

KiD CuDi was on David Letterman this past Friday, the 11th, for his first televised performance of his third single, "Pursuit of Happiness" feat. RATATAT & MGMT . HOLEY MOLEY! This song is just A-M-A-Z-I-N-G, as is the rest of his album. You would think his expressive hands would be a bit much but they really went well with the tempo of the song. Can we speak on the RATATAT electric guitar piece starting at 2:45 in the video. That part takes us to "Hyyerr" levels without the need of third-party [...]

From Kid Cudi's full length album, Man on the Moon: The End of Day, we get a Ratatat produced track with guest vocals from MGMT . New KiD CuDi - Pursuit of Happiness (ft. MGMT & Ratatat)

KiD CuDi ft. MGMT & Ratatat - Pursuit of Happiness Dang this is a good track. I understand why this is trending over at Hype Machine. Not just posting this for Tumblarity or web traffic because this is the top liked song over at Hype Machine . Also, I've noticed that even though a song trends on Hype Machine doesn't mean it will on Tumblr.
empezar la semana escuchando el album de Kid Cudi no tiene precio. mi veredicto? dejare que una sola cancion se los haga saber. y es que si les habia gustado aquel track de jay-z producido por MGMT , no pueden dejar de escuchar lo que hizo el 'Man On The Moon' con ellos y Ratatat , impelable por supuesto Kid Cudi - Pursuit Of Happiness (feat. MGMT & Ratatat) se podran imaginar como va el resto del LP, busquenlo por ahi que un [...]

When the final version of KiD CuDi's upcoming third single that I've been hyping for some time now, 'Pursuit of Happiness' featuring neo-psychedelic-ish MGMT and electronic duo Ratatat, premiered Fridays on DJ Semtex BBC Radio 1 show, I was a bit tipzy and out, so yeah I missed it of course. But today when I woke up, in the worst mood in months, (still hungover from that Friday night btw. I drank 3,5 beers... so not okay). I feel pretty fucked up at the moment, u know, like someone turned me inside out. However, I woke up [...]

CuDi was over in London with DJ Semtex doing some album promo for Man on the Moon: The End of Day . On the show Semtex premiered CuDi's third single "Pursuit of Happiness" featuring MGMT & RATATAT as well as "Enter Galactic" and the official version of "Sky Might Fall". We're gonna hold off with our opinions but just know... AMAZING, SPECTACULAR, even EPIC. Also check out two new album trailers from the album in the full post Pursuit of Happiness feat. MGMT & RATATAT Enter Galactic [...]

This Sunday has sucked elephant balls so far since I woke up with a sinus infection (minor but still, not feeling the feel of a constant cock jaw) and a blistering headache. But the day just went from sucky to great in a snap and here's the reason, Amazon (Germany) just provided 30 seconds snippets of every single track of KiD CuDi's upcoming album "Man on the Moon: The End of Day" + 4 extra bonus tracks ('Day 'N' Nite' (Crookers Remix), 'T.G.I.F.', 'Man On The Moon' & 'Is There Any Love'). Here's the final tracklist [...]

As of today, I am officially 275 days into my 1,001 day challenge. If you don't remember what that means, here's a brief reminder: Ken recommended that I look at the Day Zero website and compile a list of 101 things that I would like to accomplish in 1,001 days. It's one of those The Secret -type things, I think. Through the power of suggestion, a person who is forced to compile a list of goals will compelled to revisit that list and subconsciously go about accomplishing them. Whatever, I just wanted to see if it would [...]
This week we reach back for a Canadian cult favorite. The Pursuit Of Happiness were on top of the heap in rock in this country in the mid 80's with hits like "Two Girls In One" and "Gretzky Rocks". But their ultimate triumph was the unforgettable teen anthem "I'm An Adult Now", which still gets me rockin' whenever I'm lucky enough to hear it. I know lead singer Moe Berg was doing some DJing a la Kim Mitchell, but I haven't heard much else. [...]
My homeslice Chris Gray in Houston did a comprehensive video post looking at Todd Rundgren 's production and recording life. But since Rundgren will be dropping in at the Pageant tonight here in town, I thought I'd see his YouTube gems and add a few more -- after the jump. Feel free to email or comment with other gems as well. Psychedelic Furs' "President Gas," live in London 1982 (taken from 1982's Forever Now ) [...]

Last week in the comments , I briefly mentioned that Hugh Dillon, lead singer of the Headstones (who covered Tweeter and the Monkey Man once upon a time), was co-starring in a cop drama this fall on CTV called Flashpoint opposite Enrico Colantoni (Veronica's dad on Veronica Mars ). The show, originally titled Sniper , focuses on an elite tactical police team that handles hostage negotiations, bomb threats, and other fun stuff. It made some ripples a couple weeks ago when CBS picked up the Canadian show for this summer's programming in spite of the [...]
