Love- Air This is a song off of their new album Love 2 , I cant say I'm a huge fan of this album. I miss the days when Air would do incredibly ambient and instrumental tracks, I feel that sometimes they try to hard to be Poppy. But I have to say that the reason I chose this song was because it was remenesent of the tracks I heard of Moon Safari, and Virgin Suicides. But Overall Air is a great bands they have such a great feeling to their music, [...]
Passion Pit – Little Secrets (Jack Beats Remix) I'm such a huge fan of all of Jack Beats work. The duo knows how to bring it. Passion Pit has been a widely popular group recently and I'm glad Jack Beats finally got to it. They turned such a relaxed song into an energetic thrill ride. I would give anything to have this played at a Jack Beats concert. Hopefully they come to the US soon. They've been playing plenty of shows in the UK recently, so if you're [...]
Hello Brooklyn (ft. Lil Wayne)- Jay-Z vs. Marvin Gaye Marvin Gaye, you have the key to my heart. With your flowing lyrics and your fly style you just make want to dance my ass off. I've heard so many mash-ups with Jay-Z incorporated. I'm a huge fan of Jay-Z and I'm glad that I'm hearing a lot of him lately. This little mix is so relaxed with the two lyrical geniuses at their best. Jay-Z's new album The Blueprint 3 is available to purchase! Check it out! [...]
Florence and the Machine - You've Got The Love (XX Remix) Music video! MAx
Tor/Sufjan Stevens - The Tallest Man/I Like It ft. Grand Puba First off, happy halloween yo! This is one of the best mash-ups I've heard. Combining the wonderful instrumental work by Sufjan Stevens with those flowing lyrics arranged by Grand Puba. I'm a huge fan of mash-ups that combine two completely opposite types of music, rather than mixing two similar pop songs. Tor, you genius you. One of my favorite songs by Sufjan Stevens, "Casimir Pulaski Day" live: [...]
Santogold - Lights Out (DJ Mehdi Remix) DJ Mehdi! Man, I just listen to his music and walk down the street with a big smile on my face. This mix of Santogold's "Lights Out", mixes some chill guitar licks with some of Mehdi's electronic style. I love Mehdi's work, just because I'm not a huge fan of dubstep and heavily electronic remixes. When Mehdi incorporates an electronic aspect into his music, he knows how to make it very instrumental and work it nicely into the music. Mehdi just [...]
The Tallest Man On Earth - Where Do My Bluebird Fly Tis a melancholy song. The Tallest Man On Earth has a a nice folk that just makes you want to ponder your existence. If you love the sound of Bon Iver and Bob Dylan you'll probably be fond of the sound that's produced by this guy. I haven't been able to find much Bob Dylan sounding music these days which is why I'm very enthusiastic about this artist. There's also a type of Conor Oberst sound incorporated [...]
Choir of Young Believers - Action/Reaction Choir of Young Believers is just one of those bands that has fun with their music. Having my alarm clock waking me up with this song just started me off on a good day. The music that this group produces is so organic. Listen to some of their other stuff and I'm sure it will put you in a great mood. Choir Of Young Believers – Next Summer Choir Of [...]
Grizzly Bear - Knife (Girl Talk Mix) Girl Talk. I don't even know what to say. I just had my iTunes library on shuffle and this gem started playing. I had the honor of seeing Girl Talk (Gregg Gillis) live. It was by far the best show I have ever attended in my life. He knows exactly what the crowd is craving. I gave him a nice hug after the show, definitely one of the most epic moments of my life. As [...]
Dizzee Rascal - Holiday (Laidback Luke Remix) Laidback Luke knows how to remix an already superb song into a energetic mix that makes you want to jump for joy. After seeing Dizzee Rascal's performance at Electric Proms the day before yesterday, I was blown away. Dizzee Rascal knows how to please a crowd. In his performance he was backed by the 16-Piece Heritage Orchestra. Check out the video below to see Dizzee performing with the amazing instrumentalists. [...]
Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Heads Will Roll (A-Trak Remix) Finally, A-Trak comes out with another remix (this one being exceptionally brilliant). This is said to be A-Trak's final remix as he is beginning to focus on his solo work. This leaves a majority feeling sad, as A-Trak (Also known as Alain Macklovitch) has created some of the most incredible mixes to graze our planet. I must say that I am heavyhearted about A-Traks seize of mixing, but I am also excited to see what kind of new delectable [...]
The Dodos - Fable I just recently heard this song. I instantly became a fan of it. I've heard other songs by The Dodos and I really do love their work, but I definitely felt strongly about this song. It's such a beautiful song. One of those that just makes you happy. The American Rock band consists of Meric Long and Logan Kroeber. Also this year (2009), they recently added a new member Keaton Snyder who plays vibraphone for the band. The [...]
The Spinto Band - Jackhammer Ah, what a nice sounding group. Any song with a few very well executed harmonies thrown in is always nice. Of course, larger groups can produce a much larger and energetic sound; The Spinto Band proves exactly that. The energy produced by this group is so unique and just makes me want to get up and bust some moves. They seem like they would have such a ball recording, they're such a fun group to listen too. I've been playing this song on [...]
Islands (Live) - The XX The XX is one of those groups thats just done everything right this year, this is my favorite song by them, they'll be in Los Angeles in NOV. Also listen to: The xx – Crystalised OSkar
Old Wives Tale - Royal Fresh > [ Their Myspace ] The group, Old Wives Tale consists of two brothers Jaime and Felipe Valencia. The brothers combine their two sounds, one being electro and the other rock. The two different sounds create a product of what you think would be somewhat resembling a remix, but is actually an original track. They've created some pretty amazing songs with this style. When I think of the two genres being used in the group, first thing that comes to mind is Boards [...]
Sea Wolf - You're A Wolf I'm hoping that you've heard of Sea Wolf, just because they are one of my favorite bands. The group is led by Alex Brown, a local from Los Angeles. It's cool to think that he attended NYU for film and is now creating some of the best music out there. If you haven't heard the track You're A Wolf consider this a highly biased suggestion. Sea Wolf is one of the most refreshing sounds out there. I definitely recommend getting a bunch of their songs and [...]
Ready, Able - Grizzly Bear I have to say Grizzly Bear is one of my favorite bands in the whole world. I have all of their albums. I felt it was appropriate to post this because tomorrow night they will be playing at the Palladium. They are one of my favorite bands to see live, I saw them when they played at the Wiltern about 5 months back and it was one of the best shows I've been to. If you ever get the chance to see them, please do. This is my [...]
A Faulty Chromosome - Little Miracles I'm liking the sound of this group. In this song they use a beautiful array of instruments to lay down a beat. They use some synths and also sample a few clips of people speaking. The electro type sound that they have with the energetic vocals and beats is such a beautiful combination. Just a relaxing group of tracks that they produce. Experimental groups these days come up with more and more to try. Hey, listen to this!: [...]
A Trip Into Space - Spearmint > Check out their Myspace ! Such a great sounding band. All of their songs have such an awesome energy that just makes you want to jump for joy. If you listen to some of the other songs of their Myspace (link above), you will realize what kind of verve they produce in all their tracks. I wish that their was more that I could share with you, but they are a smaller band. So again, check out their myspace! Definitelely a highly recommended listen. A Trip Into [...]
Waterfall - Daniel Rossen Daniel Rossen has projects coming out of his ears. Being a member of Grizzly Bear, and being in Department of Eagles on the side probably makes him one of the busiest musicians out there. But almost a month ago he released a solo track. It has the same sound as all of his other work. I'd love to see him release a full album, the more Grizzly Bear, Department of Eagles like music the better. OSkar
