Deerhunter/Jay Reatard: “Oh It’s Such A Shame” MP3(s)

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

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?“.

J Dilla: “Oxtopus Boom Boom” and “Love Junkee [Remix Instrumental]” MP3

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 [...]

Radiohead: “House of Cards” Video

Radiohead’s new video for “House of Cards” has been blogged to hell, but Peter at Create Digital Motion hits the nail on the head with why this is so cool - open-source software used to distribute the video and CC licensing the code so it is free to use under specific conditions.
Yes, it is also [...]

Subpop/Space Needle

It is things like this that make me miss Seattle - this wouldn’t happen anywhere else:

Joel Kimmel: “NBA Portraits”

Joel Kimmel makes outrageous portraits of NBA players. Better update Baron’s colors though… (via FtB):

Flying Lotus: “Robo-Tussin (Feat. Lil’ Wayne)”

Lil Wayne is from Mars and finally has a beat that sounds like it came from the same place. Flying Lotus is an insane producer and this is out of control good (via GvB):

Jay-Z: “American Boy (Live at Glastonbury) Video

I’m remiss in that I haven’t posted this video yet:


Even more so now that this surfaced on the net - I love the appropriation of British slang:
