A couple of weeks ago my girl Ace sent me the following vid from Star Slingers. Mornin’ is a new song for an artist I discovered earlier this year with their Rogue Cho Pa album, which has a lot of funky soul music mixed with Snoop Dogg-esque base lines and some light upbeat electronica.
The video is pretty artsy, and pretty much a perfect fit to the jumpy, Continue reading
So while its a violation of the ‘High Fidelity’ rules of making a mixtape (which totally applies to blogging as well, right?) I need to urge everyone to listen to Foster the People right now. Continue reading
“The Detective Agency,” as they would be called in the States, put out their first album in 2008, Wermland, and I have to say I’m a big, big fan.
The first time I heard Detektivbyrån, I thought I was listening to something from the Amelie B-sides, aka Yann Tiersen, mais ce n’était pas vrai! Continue reading
This isn’t by any means a new song. But I love it and its been in heavy rotation this week. More Awesome this way
I’ve been really digging a collection of mixtapes that are out right now and Theo Martins ‘Sincerely Yours, The Dance Floor’ is on the top of my list of current favorites. I really like the incorporation of some classic and unexpected tracks like Depeche Mode and Miike Snow. But sometimes I think I’m listening to a B-side of Will.I.Am. But on a Saturday night- its still more fun to dance to then the Black Eyed Peas. Check it out here
Ok I will admit it. Those sparkly Twilight vampires put together some kick-ass soundtracks. From exclusive Florence and the Machine tracks, to duets of Bon Iver and St. Vincent, what the movies lacks in plot, they make up for in some really great music. Continue reading
I actively decided not to attend SXSW this year but watching the twitterverse and assorted co-workers having fun at hipster sumer camp is causing a little music envy. Some of the groups worth checking out have only a few very catchy songs, including Foster the People and Saint Motel. Continue reading
What’s not to love? A pretty fantastical collaboration between Four Tet, Burial, and Radiohead’s omnivorous frontman Thom Yorke has created two tracks that manage to merge their styles seamlessly. Added bonus: for those sleeping under a rock, the phenomena of watching him dance to, well, everything.
Justice isn’t releasing their new track for another month, but it is featured on the new Adidas campaign. I dig the global view the brand is taking, especially if it means we see Katy Perry dancing to Justice. Check out the track ‘Civilization’ below.
When Drake put the Weeknd on his blog, I bookmarked it as something interesting to check out eventually and Jimmy from Degrassi has come through once again with his stellar taste in music. From Toronto Canada, the Weeknd appears to have only two tracks out right now, but they both sound ripe for some remixing/rapping over.
