So this is just a taste (and it's far from finished, so pardon me) of the mixtape I'm going to be releasing sometime soon. Here is the track list (it's only 22:30 long so far, and it ends kind of abruptly). Please leave any comments you have -- I know it's not leveled right, and I know it's not perfect, but tell what parts you like, parts you don't like... etc. 1. g&r - welcome to the jungle (dlg remix) 2. klaxons - golden skans (switch remix) 3. nirvana v one republic v britney spears [...]

Dearly Beloved

Feb 24, 2008, 9:30pm :: work for it ::
Dearly Beloved is a four-piece group out of Toronto who seem to have this rock thing down pretty well. They've got a sort of Subways kind of sound, which is just fine in my book. That said, it's got an chorus that is catchy as hell, they have some decent guitar licks, and they generally play some pretty decent rock music. Their first EP, Repo , just came out last week to some glowing reviews, some of which laud their lead singer/songwriter, Rob Higgins, and justifiably so. [...]

Hot fuckin' fire!

Jan 13, 2008, 2:05pm :: work for it ::
If you missed it, The Dream released his album Love Hate to little fanfare. You might even say that the album is a bit of a glamour project after his success as a co-writer for Rihanna's "Umbrella". However, his debut is far from just your typical producer/writer-cum-rapper fare. It's full of terrific R&B songs (including his first single "Shawty is a 10") and a few club bangers, including this one - "Ditch That...". Sporting a Dr. Dre type of beat, it's a sonic masterpiece. Check it out. The Dream - [...]

Justice - D.A.N.C.E (Version Finale)
Here we are. #1. Could it have been anything else? Justice's "D.A.N.C.E." is just a fucking party. That's all it is. From start to finish. I'm sure it's been said about 30000 times by 30000 people but it sounds like Michael Jackson's "Don't Stop Til You Get Enough" meets some electro, but modern. It could be played in 1975, it could be played in 2025. I get the feeling I'll be spinning this one until the record breaks, and then I'll just have to buy another one. Welcome to [...]

PAPER PLANES official video
Hello controversy! If you didn't hear, apparently it's not cool to have gun shot sound effects on David Letterman's television show. This made M.I.A. pretty upset and as a result, she's... well, not. happy. But the song "Paper Planes" itself is really just terrific, good enough for #2 on my list. Let's put it this way - if Snoop did this song, it would have been the top song in America. The lyrics are just fucking gangster as hell, people. I mean, good God. Like, they're Johnny Cash-level of [...]

#3: Kanye West feat. Daft Punk - Stronger

Kanye West Stronger Video(High Quality)
Kanye's second single off of Graduation was the song of the summer (IMHO), Stronger. The huge beats carefully lifted from Daft Punk's classic song "Harder Better Faster Stronger" are mixed into Kanye's bombastic lyrics and they form what is a pretty remarkable mix of hip hop and electro. Kanye has shown time and time again that when he's got a big beat behind him, he's nearly unstoppable (see: "Jesus Walks"), and he proves it again here. The song feels like a mission statement - a calling out. Plus, DP makes an appearance in [...]

Vanilla Sky - Umbrella (Rihanna Cover)
I will honestly admit I'm a bit sick of this song. And I'm pretty sick of the "ella ella ay ay"s that I hear whenever I play this. But no other song this year was so simple and yet so perfectly produced. It's a four minute tribute to devotion and love, and Rihanna fucking kills it. I would have liked to have seen what Britney or Mary J. Blige would have done with it, but I get the feeling that Rihanna really was the perfect person for this song. [...]

UGK feat. Outkast - Intl Players Anthem
In some ways, Pimp C's death was a perfect time to go - as one half of UGK, he had just released a critically acclaimed album, loved by both hip-hop heads and indie geeks and with what some people think was the best song of the year in "Int'l Players Anthem: I Choose You". First, the sample choice is truly awesome. The opening of the song, where Andre explains his choice to marry is just perfect - you actually feel what he's saying - maybe settling down isn't a bad idea, even for a player. From there, [...]

This was originally lower, but I have a funny story about this song that pushed it up a little bit. A few months after I met my girlfriend, I met her family. She has a 2 1/2 year old niece who is a pretty perceptive little girl. Anyhow, as I feel that kids shouldn't just listen to the Wiggles and crap like that, I made a CD of "kid-friendly" music that she could listen to in the car. The CD included (among others) "Crabbuckit" by k-os, "Around the World" by Daft Punk, "Just Like Heaven" [...]
