One time in an interview , Woodkid said, "I want people to feel like heroes when they listen to my music." Does it get any better than that? No, it doesn't. Songs can make us feel a lot of things (like we're underwater , for example), but there is a time and place for feeling enourmous, and these are the songs that help get us there. Here are 14 songs that make you feel like a hero. Woodkid - "Run Boy Run" Honestly, I really hope that you are never in the situation where you are [...]
It may take a while for Side Of The Road – the forthcoming single from Los Angelino space cadet Jonathan Bates – to click with you though once it does, you're in for an electrifying ride. The sometime Mellowdrone vocalist is back masquerading as Big Black Delta , with his as yet untitled sophomore solo recording anticipated later on this year though it's to be preceded by this one, which is itself due April 29th. Tapping into that steady, routinely pulsating pace to course throughout Autobahn , Side Of The Road is as though the irrepressible eccentricity of Everything Everything [...]
Kanye West, Jay-Z, Drake, Miguel, Trent Reznor, Skrillex, and Usher were among the early winners at the 2013 Grammy Awards' pre-show telecast.

Miguel's "Adorn" won Best R&B Song and Usher's "Climax" won Best R&B Performance. Skrillex was the big winner in the Dance/Electronica category. Bangarang won Best Dance/Electronica Album and [...]
The first and filthiest mixtape from BSRK (a.k.a. yours truly) featuring Big Gigantic , The White Panda , and Urban Noize . Consider it commercial hip-hop for the dub-inclined, hip-step, or... dub-hop.
Toute l'équipe de We Are The Mascotte vous a concocté une sélection des meilleurs clips de cette année 2012. Une année très chargée avec un record de vidéos publiées sur le mag, ce qui ne fut pas simple pour émettre un top 5 (6/7) mais nous espèrons que vous vous retrouverez dans nos choix, sinon n'hésitez pas à partager vos coups de coeur pour cette année. Un petit clin d'oeil à certaines vidéos qui on fait le buzz cette année sans que cela entre en jeu dans notre ligne éditoriale, mais un peu de LOL ca ne fait [...]
Instead of bitching about all the shit that was nominated (which I still think sucks donkey balls) I will talk about the positives of the nominations. The 55th Annual Grammy Awards will be presented to the artists on Sunday, February 10, 2013 at Staples Center (in Los Angeles). Here are my tops... Mr FRANK OCEAN was nominated for four (but really six); Album of the Year, Record of the Year, Best New Artist, & Best Urban Contemporary Album. [...]

Photo source: Django Django When it comes to British bands, you'd pretty much think there were only one if you frequent this site. Yes, Alt-J is incredible, but they do have some fierce competition for this year's Mercury Prize in Scottish quartet Django Django (@thedjangos). Their self-titled debut LP, released in Europe via Because Music ( Justice , Metronomy ) and through Domino imprint Ribbon Music here in the States last month, is filled with 13 tracks of infectious [...]
Mash-ups get no respect. Part of the problem is that with the easy-to-use technology these days, anyone can make them—and they do. It has led to a saturation of the Internet with half-assed mashes will little thought and even less listenability. But as music evolves, a big part of the story is becoming not just the creation of entirely new sounds, but the reimagination of existing ones. Mash-ups put familiar tracks into an entirely new context, and when they're done right, they can be a perspective-changing headfuck. Snobs can turn up their noses all they want and dismiss [...]

Last week, we skipped this list so that we could run our list of the 25 best videos of the year thus far . So I'll just take a moment to point out that last week's list, if we'd done it, definitely would've included SoKo's " We Might Be Dead By Tomorrow and" Blood Orange's " I'm Sorry We Lied ." Those videos rule. And here are this week's picks. Read More...

"A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest men." -Willy Wonka Andrew Bird – “Eyeoneye” This felt version of Andrew Bird has a hell of a lot going on inside of him. Not only are there tiny little men working on machines in his chest, but also vibrant stars and planets swirling around inside his head. Chromatics – “These Streets Will Never Look the Same” I dare you not to immediately put on Drive after checking out this latest video from [...]
Posted in Cover Me J'aime beaucoup cette chanson / Fine Music Selection & Homemade Mixes. Vous l'avez noté : ce blog s'intitule « J'aime beaucoup cette chanson ». Des mauvais esprits m'ont fait remarquer « Tu aimes beaucoup cette chanson, mais en même temps, c'est souvent une chanson de merde ». Que ce soit clair : je n'ai jamais prétendu parler ici de bonnes chansons, mais bel et bien de chansons que j'aime. Aujourd'hui, je vais faire une exception, en parlant non seulement [...]

Following on (belatedly) from Eclectic Eavesdroppings Favourite Albums of the year, here are my Favourite Songs of 2011 . Compressing the musical year into a mere twenty-five songs is a tough task for a music junkie like myself. Listing the songs in order of preference is near impossible. But either way, I’ve done my best to get a list together and even though it’s incredibly subjective, it sums up a very good year in music. Stream it as a playlist on YouTube over HERE or download a copy of the whole mix over HERE . [...]
I must start off by saying I was rather disappointed with my personal selection of my favourite albums of 2011. In my opinion I felt that this year for music went through a huge wave of different trends and hits. And those trends were both good and bad. Obviously, it is pretty much impossible for me to listen to every genre that there is out there, so I try my best to listen to everything I can.. when I can. Some of the great things that happened this year was the success of many producers and DJ's that [...]
