Don't know why, but this song get's me super pumped! Make sure you check out Fulgeance and his new EP, Low Club, right here ...

Just catching up on emails and stuff, so I know this is a little late! D/Will has another EP, Human Decency Prevails , available for free download! Mostly covers with a couple originals thrown in there, it's a nice little listen...so make sure to check it out here . I'm diggin the cover of Brandy 's "Talk About Our Love" featuring Mister West ...

I dread the sad iPod icon; you know the one, that face that shows up when you have some kind of hardware problem with your iPod? It is every iPod addict's worst nightmare, usually resulting in sending your iPod back to Apple . In other words, your paying almost the same amount to fix your 4 year old iPod, as it would be to buy a brand new one. Well, I'm too damn broke to do anything like that; I mean, you should see what my headphones look like… So in my desire to [...]

So I first stumbled across beat maker K15 on Myspace and fell in love with his song "Anya". Not long after he sent me a copy of his upcoming release, a calloboration featuring vocalist LP , and the feeling was no different this time around. An album of chilled, laid back tunes that leave you more relaxed than a trip to the spa, you can expect (and hope!) that there will be much more of this to come. In the meantime, make sure you pick up their EP A New Path, available [...]

Bonne Année! ! I am having an awesome time with my travels, took a tone of pictures, but I must say that I am a little glad to be soon finished with the hectic traveling schedule and back into the swing of things. One day I will actually take a vacation that is actually a vacation! So for my last day in Paris, I'm sitting outside at a cafe under the glowing heaters and watching the snow fall. I think I could get used to this life! So in all the travels these past [...]

I'm off to Barcelona and Paris for Christmas and New Years! I'm not sure if I'll be able to get off any posts, so if I don't, I just wanted to thank everyone for making my first year of blogging such a memorable one. I hope to make next year even better. Thanks again and Happy Holidays!

Love these guys....check Metronomy 's Nights Out .

So I know there have been a ton of "Womanizer" covers floating around, most famously by Lily Allen and Ladyhawke . I honestly never thought I would be mentioning Britney Spears on here, however I think the cover by the Frenchman Sliimy takes the cake...I think i just like when he says Lollipop. Does he remind anyone else of Mika ? Sliimy - Womanizer par sliimy

Ok, so I'm not going to lie, I haven't gotten around to checking at Common 's new album Universal Mind Control . I know it's sad, and I suppose saying that I have been busy is really not a sufficient excuse now is it? However, I can say for sure that after hearing "Everywhere" (while looking through an awesome blog/magazine called C'est La Vie , thats another post though), I will definitely be checking it out. Already a fan of Martina Topley-Bird , she was a very welcome addition to the track...I love [...]

My first contact with Curumin was on a mixtape a friend of mine had made back in 2005. Then again after hearing "Guerreiro" on a Nike commercial for the 2006 World Cup , I decided to the give Achados e Perdidos a shot. It was a good album, but if your not down to listening to songs in another language (Portuguese) it might not be for you. Always serving up an array of different sounds, his second effort, JapanPopShow , stands to be no different from the first in [...]

Really? It's kind of hard to go wrong with a line-up like this, and if "Gifted" doesn't get you hooked, then I'm sure one of the tracks from N.A.S.A 's upcoming release (Feb. 17th) will...just check the guest appearances.

Definitely up there as one of my top albums of the year, SVIIB has had a several live sessions popping up that are just as, if not more impressive than the Alpinisms itself. Check the acoustic version of "White Elephant Coat" from Live at the Lime . Those of you lucky enough to be in NY right now, do not miss their show tomorrow night at Mercury Lounge . Live at Lime - School of Seven Bells from Matt Huard Productions on Vimeo [...]

So my new roomie listens endlessly to sappy R&B love songs, and asked me if maybe I had some that she might like. You know those songs, the ones that seem to serve no other purpose than to deepen the misery of those folks that are fresh out of relationships and plunge them further into the depths of self-pity. Yeah, unfortunately I've got a library full of those...I was in high school once. None the less, after what seemed like hours of excruciating pain, I struck gold on about the third song with Brittany Bosco 's [...]

I received a message awhile back from Kid Cudi asking to take down some mixes that had not been authorized by him. It was very civil and repsectful... I know it can b confusin especially this early in my career to determine wut remixes r official or not but if u don't hear about it on kidcudi.com, the Fools Gold Blog, or my myspace (www.myspace.com/kidcudi) then its not suttin I'm involved with….the ONLY 2 remixes out rite now are the Jokers of the Scene and the Crookers remix…there is no rap remix of [...]

I have always had my qualms with sample based music, but if you can put your spin on things and make it your own, more power to you. I mean to say, no matter where my musical morals lie, I just can't deny when a song makes me feel good. Kansas City producer D/Will , has managed to do just that with "Good Evening". Featuring NY emcee/singer Outasight , it's a bouncy song that leaves you hooked. In my humble opinion, it should have been titled, "Good Morning", because it's the kind of song [...]
