HIP HOP

1. Streets is Getting Hot- Beenie Man: The beat is just so sick on this song that it doesnt matter you can't understand a word he says. your head shall bobbeth

2. Move if You Wanna- Mims: its old but i figured this would be a pretty good dance party song, plus the video is really cool.

3. Fly Like Me- B.o.B.: up and comer, b.o.b. is the man. Apparently his first album is coming out by the end of 2009, here's its first single from last Dec. or so: I'll Be in the Sky

4. Daddy- B.o.B.: I'm loving the sample.

5. Shine Blockas- Big Boi: goddamn I've been waiting so long for Big Boi's single album "Sir Lucious Leftfoot... Son of Chico Dusty" (apparently its still a 2009 release despite having date set)... ill gobble the fuck out of any scrap big boi drops us. still, he never disappoints.

6. Reality Check- Binary Star: just a straight hip hop track, no solid hook just solid flows. it's great

7. The Check Point- Curren$y and Wiz Khalifa: i got nothing to say, wiz khalifa wants you all to know that he smokes weed.

8. Uptown f. Bun B and Lil' Wayne- Drake: Its slower than usual but besides the semi-weak chorus it's sick. anything with bun b is gold + drake really impresses on this one.

9. Embrace the Martian- Kid CuDi: I'll be honest, his new album disappointed me. Just included this old favorite from the mixtapes to remind everyone how good he can be.

10. Simple As...- Kid CuDi: Still, he comes through a few times, this one's a highlight along with Pursuit of Happiness, Make Her Say, Soundtrack 2 My Life. Really weird but catchy beat, shows the uniqueness he brings.

11. Wont Trade- Q-Tip: Q-Tip (of A Tribe Called Quest fame) is one of the best lyricists. The Renaissance is good for any fan of Quest or old school.

12. Exotic on the Speaker- Soulico: Found by B lee, interesting blend of styles.

13, 14, 15. Ms. Rightfernow, Get Sum, Never Ever- Wiz Khalifa: 3 great songs from "Flight School." That whole mixtape is great, but what else would I say? I've been forcing wiz down your throats non stop.

16. Party and Bullshit in the USA- Biggie Smalls/ Hannah Montana: I swore id never see hannah poke her preteen face onto this blog but what chance does one man have against a raging tidal wave? Fine the goddamn song is catchy, you happy?

DANCE

17. Raindrops- Basement Jaxx: So good, i love everything about this song until it gets old with about a minute left. But whose attention span lasts that long on a saturday night anyways?

18. Memories f. Kid CuDi- David Guetta: The man behind I've Got A Feeling (my vote for worst song of the year) has another repetitive but this time GOOD song. i dunno, there's not much to it but it's great. Plus, respect Kid CuDi's creative range

19. Sexy Bitch f. Akon- David Guetta: My favorite party song of the year. blast this when your getting ready to go out and then once your drunk. two different, awesome experiences. Hip hop is getting involved in dance music and I am fine with that. Kid CuDi, Dizzee Rascal, now Akon.

20. Holiday- Dizzee Rascal: From "Tongue in Cheek." Bonkers is still easily my favorite from this album but the catchiness of this one is undeniable, and I am digging Dizzee's foray into electro music- Tiesto even produces a song on his new album.

21. Forever by Drake- Hood Internet Remix: B Lee found this and we are eternally grateful. its way better than the original, especially Drake's first verse, and does us the favor of cutting off Eminem (not a fan, sorry).

22. New In Town- Little Boots: There's something about this Brit; beat's sweet, chorus is catchy, gives us a taste of music across the pond.

23. Zumbi (nujax remix)- Major Lazer: Clearly a B Lee find, one of my favorites on this. Based off this hilarious video with ANDY MILONAKIS, except makes it a legit song. well played andy you fat fuck.

CHILL OUT

24. Strange Overtones- David Bryne and Brian Eno: A b lee joint. Old school ("this style is out of fashion, these beats are 20 years old"), yet strangely addicting.

25, 26. Sleepyhead, Little Secrets- Passion Pit: Liam brought this home with him. Like MGMT (NY city) I assumed they were British or something but theyre from Cambridge, MA. great band, here's my favorite two songs so far.

27, 28. 1901, Rome- Phoenix: Theyve been around a while but just made it big with "Wolfgang Armadaeus Phoenix" this summer. Unfortunately sam monroe found this band, but if you can get over that this whole album is good enough for a download. 1901 is in the new Cadillac (i think?) commercial, the one with the black guy driving a soccer mom van. Damn good songs despite its commercial abuse, Phoenix has a unique style.

29. Death- White Lies: I love this song, its perfect... great lyrics, progression, style changes. Belting this bad boy out on a summer drive with the windows down: there's nothing better.

hope you enjoyed them, offer your own thoughts/favorites/songs you hated in the comments section. peace.

.

Video Makes the Song (for once)

Big Sean - Getcha Some Music Video and Video Code

songs good, videos sick. 1:06-1:17. fucking innovative

Kid Cudi ft. MGMT and Ratatat

2 bands i really like with one of my favorite rappers = sweet. eugene spotted this last night:



Cudi's first album drops Sept. 15, he has 2 sick mixtapes you could find easily if interested

E-603

The mighty e-603 has a new album. hes similar to girl talk but more spastic/add and is just as awesome:

Check it check it. definitely get his first album too if you dont have it yet.

Also take a look at Milkman, his first album is free and sweet (he does single song remixes unlike the cd-long ones of e-603 and girl talk

also as a forewarning- im like 3 months back on posting music so im putting together a little back-to-school mixtape for you all to download

Lots of Music Stuff

FIRST: check out these sick mash-ups from cookin soul.





can someone rip that Jay-z one from youtube and put it up for download for me?

Second: Check out this site: Sad Steve. its like seeqpod but better, you can download anything you can find.

Last: while at sad steve, search for Super Mash Bros, they are similar to Girl Talk and E-603, i cant tell if i like them yet though

That's all for now..

Finally the good version has been released

after more than a month since we posted about seeing this new wale song live, the good version featuring lady gaga (never thought that name would ever appear on this blog, especially in tandem with the word "good" but oh well) has arrived, Check it:

Wale-Chilling

P.S. I have no idea what you all have been listening to in the US but theres a good amount of Australia songs that are massively popular here that I will put up soon and let you pass judgement on. Most of them are great party songs in my opinion. give me a week

Wale- Chilling

Helloooo everybody. So I saw wale at Good Vibrations Sydney and it was fucking awesome. Fatboy Slim was also there and the roots were going to be but cancelled so Q-Tip stepped in instead along with some other bands like Yelle and Presets. Either way, this new Wale (Wall-aye) song was really sick but i cant find it anywhere besides live good vibes footage so i guess just check it out and make sure you wait until the chorus. it was a blast.

Who hated Kanye's singing album? Well prepare yourself...

THIS IS SO BAD.. anyone make it past a minute? i couldnt even listen to the whole thing once. When it came up on shuffle while i was skiing earlier, in a panic i immediately pulled to the side of the trail, braved the freezing cold and took off my gloves, and struggled through my many layers to find the fast forward button. unfortunately, when i loathe a song this much it means verc and the radio will like it... great.

To get that bad taste out of our mouths here is a wayne song ive been hanging onto since september (wtf?) without showing a soul- remember the old good l'il wayne? I honestly haven't heard a decent verse from the guy in ages.

Drake Ft. Lil Wayne- Ransom

also, i put all my white folks get crunk songs in a zip file for kyle to download, so if anyone else wants in on that here you go:
White Folks zip. It's not all dance, its got a bunch of sweet hip hop in there too. warning, it will take a while to download but just leave it going while you get dinner or something

New (old) Girl Talk Songs

This is a girl talk remix of a song by Grizzly Bear called Knife. It was released individually through pitchfork a year ago, but no one i know has ever mentioned it so i guess it's new to us.

also, it's awesome.



Download: Grizzly Bear- Knife (Girl Talk remix)

This other one is not as good in my opinion, but way chiller than more Girl Talk songs so check it out.



Download: Peter Bjorn and John- Let's Call it Off (Girl Talk remix)

Furthermore, Girl Talk also has an collaboration project with Simian Mobile Disco called Trey Told 'Em (myspace page here), which has about 5 songs. My favorite of which is:

I Believe (Trey Told Em remix) - Simian Mobile Disco

Download: UPDATE: FOUND Download Here

Enjoy

Common and Kanye

The oldest video for this song was put on Youtube just three hours ago thats how new this is (good work eu-gi-oh being so on top of things). im not sure if the song is good yet, i liked it alright, but its been viewed less than 100 times total so in the interest of being way in front of the game here is Punch Drunk Love ft Kanye off of Common's new album:



let me know what you think.. its really up in the air for me whether its good or not

UPDATE: You know we already have the track
