It seems that right now is the perfect time for somewhat dark and a little foreboding electro. If you had to pick the perfect storm of economic downturn, confusingly messed weather patterns, and a trend towards melancholy, this would be it. For weeks I've been joking about how my own next endeavor would be a [...]
Courtesy of Florida's Team Turbo Sex . I've been a fan of Rich Boy ever since Throw some D's first came out. For me it's a mix of his flow and how every single track has a touch of Polow da Don on it giving it a big beat production and shout outs to Zone 4. [...]
This being winter time I like to take my time and recognize the beauty of nature. Really that's got no shit to do with this blog, but sometimes i just want people to think im a campy kind of guy. That being said lets move on to today's featured Items. Moulinex did something brilliant, a [...]
Here's a treat if you haven't heard these kids yet. They're a hip hop duo that can really put on. This is from The Cool Kids' Bake Sale mixtape released earlier in the year. The second song is to our new president. The Cool Kids - Time of Action The Cool Kids - 88 Enjoy. Tagged: The Cool Kids [...]
Fall Horsie is a little storytelling gig from up in the cold, cold Canada. Hey, they're real smooth and have a great sense of how to mix classical genre elements and more contemporary themes. The lead singer really has beautiful pianowork so if you don't mind something softer, more wintry, and with an impressive vocabulary, [...]
December 9th is the new countdown as the world getst to taste the sweetness that is Common's new Album, Universal Mind Control. Besides having the added bonus of being a Chicago artist, Commons already got a great history of balancing his conscientious messages with well supremely well crafted songs. A couple of the songs have [...]
Here's something I thought I'd bring up, Grum's not the most obscure artist out there right now, but i thought it necessary to throw my hat in the ring. Fact remains that Le Castle Vania did a killer remix that's quickly rising its way past anti-mc's remix of The Final Countdown to become my new [...]
It seems about that time again that I should be falling in love with some Hood Internet.Keeping with that theme, what i got to do is present one of DJ STV SLV's better gems. I've got a real soft spot in my heart for Southern Rap, top that off with B.G. who I've been watching [...]
I've always had a sort of soft spot for Bob Dylan impressions, which does not mean I do not discriminate - after all, covering a Dylan masterpiece or even a rarity can instantly earn a band nods for their 'folk' roots. Blitzen Trapper earns kudos for producing their own take on Dylanism. Their album has [...]
So we're back, basically that's all there is to say. First off lets talk a little about Radioclit. Radioclit is a DJ Duo from England who's been tearing it up recently. I spent my entire summer listening to Get it Up, which is an amazing mix of M.I.A, and some Gorilla Zoe. Fact remains, listen [...]
Am I still allowed to post about Girl Talk? I just wanted to lay on here a quick post. BunnyGreenhouse has been putting together music videos for all the songs off of the newly released 'Feed The Animals.' So far, he's done 'Shut The Club Down', 'Still Here', and 'What It's All About'. For you skeptics (who [...]
I've been restless. And I think my choice of music this time around reflects that - a few songs that don't represent your typical angsty punk rock restlessness. Rather, I think these next few songs are 'American' to the very core. I think they can be looked at as a collection that represents all the [...]
This past week I've gone and got myself something new to be all about. Usually the process of finding something new to latch on to and call the next big thing to watch takes about a week as I throw the same songs on repeat. Right now its a swift rotation of three things, Podington [...]
It seems that Mr. Gilles has set blogtown on fire with his new album. Since everyone with a pulse has pretty much copped the album at this point, it would be rather pointless for me to write anything about it here. Plus, DinoMoritz has already correctly identified "Still Here" as the most important song on [...]
So I says to myself that once again I've dropped the ball and new beautiful things I have witnessed need to be brought to light. It's summer first off which means that we all need some music to match the weather, and on top of that some real big things have been happening. Let's talk about [...]
So who likes to party? In a mini series called "Teh Soundz of Summer," I will be periodically serving up tunes to get your dance, drank, etc. on. Diamonds is the best thing to happen to the mash-up scene since Girl Talk exited the womb. I never would have thought that 80s beats and 90s raps [...]
Over the past week I've cultivated a few new refined tastes in my life. Right now the one I'm enjoying the most is a certain elderly video by out good friends Hot Chip. While the video for Ready for the Floor has been around for a while now it just was sprung upon me a [...]
It's official, I'm finished with my first year of College. That being said I'm ready to start settling in to a summer of filled with numerous festive activities. Included will be reading every success book I can get my hands on, and along with that I'm hoping to start posting on a more regular basis. So [...]
The Dodos are a wily little folk duo. It wouldn't be inappropriate to say that each song on their new album 'Visiter' has a musical quirk. Because of this, even with only an acoustic guitar and a drum set, The Dodos end up giving you the full musical mileage for your listen. It might [...]
