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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
My good friend Harry asked me to cover “Rocketman” by Elton John for a movie he was making about 4 months ago. I worked on it solid for about a week and then stuff came up that sidelined the project - fast-forward to now and I finally got around to finishing it.
It was pretty fun [...]
I haven’t been able to get the new Fleet Foxes album out of my head since it came out. Today they released an amazing and beautiful clay-mation video for one of the catchiest songs on the album that blew me away - I’ve also included an mp3 of my favorite track from the album.
Fleet [...]
The first video off of The Mixtape About Nothing as well as the first (and my favorite) track. Download the whole thing and make sure to listen to “The Kramer”.
Wale - “The Opening Title Sequence”
Amazing track from Sweden’s Air France. I love thsi type of sampling (reminds me a lot of Jens Lekman, which might be an erroneous correlation due to their national heritige but whatever) - very subtle and very beautiful. The bass line is silky and the whole song just washes over you in a way that, [...]
King Khan & The Shrines is a real band. Raw and hyper-talented. Bringing to mind the best of 60s garage-punk. They are friends with Black Lips Their new album, “The Supreme Genius Of…”, comes out June 17th. Great aesthetic - musically, visually, and otherwise. I love what they are about. Can’t wait for this album [...]
this song is so rad. that string synth! no drums (i love that ideologically). i can’t wait for this album. really good stuff. very film score (via gvb).
Last week GvB posted about yet another amazing band, The Muslims from San Diego. The Modern Lovers comparison is right on (especially for the track posted below), but they have their own distinct sound outside of that. I love this track and I really want to set up a show with these guys and The [...]
