Video: Aloe Blacc "I Need A Dollar"

Lollapalooza is back with a line-up that's full of up-and-coming local acts, legitimate buzz bands, arena rockers and a few head scratchers. So, we here at Loud Loop figured you might need some help deciding which bands to check out and which to avoid. And of course you know the Black Sabbath, The Black Keys and the Chili Peppers, so we won't waste your time on them. Instead, these are our picks for can't-miss acts those other eight hours this Friday, Saturday and Sunday... [...]

I actually like this remix of I Need a Dollar by Aloe Blacc . Never knew the song came out in 2010 but now has become a hit in the UK due to being played on a commerical. Not going to play the original version but show the music video. Have a listen to I Need a Dollar (Zinc Remix) Here is the original version

Aloe Blacc is a soulful anomaly on Stones Throw Records . The Southern California label is known for glitchy hip-hop, challenging beats, and a blunted, mellow sound that provides trippy soundtracks for Cartoon Network’s late night programming. Here are three reasons why Blacc is kind of the odd man out: First, Stones Throw is known for production. Blacc is a soul-singer known first for his melodies. It’s a refreshing addition to the label, which was previously carried by beat-makers like the late J Dilla. Second, though the label has an intense niche following, it’s not generally a hit-maker.

Saturday May 28 th on the Bigfoot stage 3:00 – 3:45 Since gaining mainstream success thanks to the powerful piano riffs and baseline melodies of I Need A Dollar as seen in the opening to HBO TV series How To Make It In America , Aloe Blacc has evolved into more than simply a musician. Blacc as his backing band The Grand Scheme are now bringing social reflection and art together in order to provide a soundtrack for positive social change. “Even if the music itself does not explicitly express [...]

Not sure how I missed this, but here's Aloe Blacc's latest video for the single "Loving You Is Killing Me", which is taken from the album Good Things on Stones Throw Records.

After writing for TWJ for about a year now, I have mutated into a spider of the Interwebs. I creep across my familiar threads and pluck tasty morsels from the regular traps with ease. Now that I seem to be officially a blogger (*gasp*), I have become more of a “Song” fiend, who sees and [...]

Here's the first batch of capsule reviews! Please consult the series introduction for detailed information about whatinthehell is going on. Against Me!

BRANDON: B So, this isn't the old Against Me! (not that it has been for awhile now). And you know what? I'm good with [...]

Nell'immenso calderone delle classifiche di fine anno ce ne sono alcune più interessanti di altre. Una di quelle che ha attirato la mia curiosità è della radio pubblica americana, la NPR che oltre a mettere in streaming una grandissima quantità nuove uscite ha anche una bellissima sezione dedicata alle news musicali. Succede a tutti, noi compresi, che nell'oceano delle nuove uscite alcune finiscono per essere ignorata anche se ad un ascolto approfondito si rivelano migliori di come si presentavano dal titolo. Hanno deciso di fare mea culpa e hanno scelto le uscite discografiche che hanno [...]
