Grizzly Bear: “Two Weeks (Live on Letterman)” Video
July 25, 2008 – 10:19 am
Ethereal pop is the only combination of words that makes sense to describe Grizzly Bear’s newest track. I can’t wait for their new album. They are touring with Radiohead how cool is that?
UPDATE: MP3 via GvB. The more I listen to this song the better it gets. Surreal.
Grizzly Bear: “Two [...]
Deerhunter/Jay Reatard: “Oh It’s Such A Shame” MP3(s)
July 22, 2008 – 11:00 am
I’ve been listening to Deerhunter’s new album Microcastle nonstop since it leaked a month or so back. I want to post almost every song (with album openers “Agoraphobia” and “Never Stops” at the top of my list) but understand that having an album leak before a release date is even set has got to feel [...]
Fatlip: “What’s Up Fatlip? (Breakbot Remix)” Video
July 21, 2008 – 1:11 pm
Delicious Vinyl recently commissioned a bunch of artists to do remixes of their most well-known songs - I just picked up the album and while all of the tracks do good service to their predecessors, the one I really wanted to hear was how “What’s Up Fatlip?“. Thankfully Breakbot keep the original intact while re-imagining [...]
J Dilla: “Oxtopus Boom Boom” and “Love Junkee [Remix Instrumental]” MP3
July 18, 2008 – 1:29 pm
This new Dilla track just showed up online and it is dope as expected. Pretty reserved - sounds like it was probably just a demo - but even in rough form Dilla is better than 99.9% of producers. The other track is one of my favorite Dilla beats of all time that I’ve been meaning [...]
The Dark Knight

The most epic film I have seen in ages. I’m seeing it again today in IMAX. A great review here and this guy says it perfectly:
This is Chinatown and Heat rolled into one.
Big Boi: “Something’s Gotta Give (Feat. Mary J Blige)” MP3
July 18, 2008 – 10:55 am
I love Outkast and every incarnation that as arisen from their quasi-fallen ashes. I am admittedly much more partial to Andre 3000 , but if you compare what he did this week to what Big Boi did, I have to nod my head to the other side of the coin this time:
Big Boi: “Something’s Gotta [...]
Guantanamo Bay Interegation

Nothing shocking or visceral happens here yet this is still one of the most harrowing and frightening things I have ever seen:
