Of Montreal - We Were Born the Mutants Again With Leafling

Everyone goes threw change, its how we adapt.

Remember that shit, also some food for thought... Does your location in the world determine your religion?

Festival Outlook: Dillo Day (Mayfest)

This Saturday at Northwestern Common, Broken Social Scene, The Cool Kids, Ted Leo and Third Eye Blind will be performing, and honest to god I almost shit my pants in excitement when I saw this lineup. I would trade all of Summerfest for this one day of awesome music.

Shwayze & Cisco Adler


Straight out of the BU…Malibu that is comes Shwayze. Everyone will love Shwayze's first album which is due to be released July 15th. The self-titled album, Shwayze, is a mix of rock-acoustic guitar with some hip-hop laid-back jams. Shwayze (Aaron Smith) collaborates with Cisco Adler who co-wrote all the songs on the album. Cisco Adler, front man for Whitestarr, helped produce Mickey Avalon’s Jane Fonda and Mr. Right. The album is amazing and many people may have heard the new single, Buzzin’ which has begun to gain a lot of play on MTV2 and FUSE. I recommend everyone checking out the album when it hits stores July 15th.


Polaroid - Shwayze


Mary Jane - Cisco Adler

Nite Club - No Matter Which Way

Easily one of my favorite songs from last year, still relatively new and if you are in to any form electro music you will enjoy this song. This is off of Nite Club's Nu Nite Album.

EMC - What It Stand For

Easily one of the most under-rated groups in hip hop EMC is lead by hip hop journeyman Masta Ace, as well as Strickland who happens to be from Milwaukee, their new album The Show was an instant classic.

Atmosphere - When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold




Whether it’s about his alcohol and drug addictions, his struggling love life, or his constant fight to find a reason to keep living Slug takes a step outside the hip hop norm and tells tales that only Ant could throw a beat over. When Life Gives You Lemons, You Paint That Shit Gold is a much need breath of fresh air and I am happy Atmosphere was the group to deliver it. After my first listen I instantly thought this CD sounds like anything else Atmosphere has put out, but the question arises, is that bad thing? Consistency is extremely hard to find in today’s world of one hit wonders and internet superstars, which is why tracks like Shoulda Known and Yesterday get my head boppin and my mind going trying to capture every lyric Slug drops. Based out of Minneapolis, MN Atmosphere has been at constant work since releasing Overcast!, in 1997, and hasn’t stopped in eleven years. Whether this is your first time listening to Atmosphere or your one hundredth you definitely will not be disappointed.

Common ft. Pharell - U.M.C

This is Commons first single off of his new CD Invincible Summer, Common has slowly gone from a cut and dry traditional hip hop artist to a "i wanna rock the club" artist, and frankly I don't think he fits the mold. But it's a nice attempt.

Stateless - Bloodstream

Stateless is a small band from Leeds, England. They are currently working on recording their second cd. This song is from their first cd !K7 and it's a really good chill song. Also check out Prism #1. I believe it's only a matter of time before Stateless hits the mainstream. So check it out!!

Stacy Clark - Matter of Time

Think of Frou Frou, mixed with a little bit of MIA, and you get Stacy Clark, based out of Buffalo she has been featured on Laguna Beach and is a few clicks away from internet stardom.




WHAT THE PICTURE SHOWS

Matter Of Time - Stacy Clark

Rosewood Thieves - She Don't Mind The Rain Live!

The Rosewood Thieves are a hot American Folk Rock Band from NYC. Their first 2 cd's; From the Decker House (2006) & Lonsome (2007) where so hot. They are getting ready to release a new cd, RISE & SHINE. It will be their first full length album with 10 new hot songs. Check it out, this is number 2 on their cd live from the Echo on May 9th.

The Cool Kids - Oscar the Grouch

First single off their CD the Bake Sale, real tight song, I have always been a big fan of The Cool Kids and this song does not disappoint.

The

Oscar The Grouch - Cool Kids


Cut Copy - Lights & Music

First single off their new CD, which is easily in my personal top five CD's of 2008. Check this out, and their CD. I am hoping to get some sort of review section up soon...

Kenna ft. Lupe Fiasco - Say Goodbye to Love remix

Already a good song by Kenna, couldn't get any worse by adding one of the hottest MC's in the game to your remix. Shits too hot.

The Flobots...STAND UP!!!

The Flobots are a indie hip-hop group from Denver & are a super Political Band that rocks.
This song is from their 2007 CD Fight With Tools and I feel it just sends an awesome message people. Check them out!




Get Cape, Wear Cape, Fly - The Chronicals of a Bohemian Teenager

One of the best videos I have ever seen, great song too.

Weekley Rewind...Say Hi to Your Mom - Hooplahs Involving Circus Tricks

If we were to rewind a year and half you would hear me listening to this song in my car, great song by a good band. There new CD didnt do much for me, but that doesn't take away from this track.

Hooplas Involving Circus Tricks - Say Hi To Your Mom

White Noise - Dont look that way at it

Based out of Austin, White Noise is a group of journeymen indie rockers who's hard work has helped them string together some really good songs.

Moving Mountains - 8105

This is a older song, but one of my favorite songs of 2007. Moving Mountains released an excellent CD and I recommend it to anyone who enjoys good music.

8105 - Moving Mountains

Worst song of the Week

Im bored and was browsing some stuff and came across this song. I feel like I need to post it not because its good but because its funny and really bad.

NEW Albert Hammond Jr. - Frustrations

This song is off his new CD, which is due out sometime in July. Sounds very good for such a raw cut.

Emmanuel Jal - Warchild

If this song doesn't reach you on a personal level, than you must of lost your soul along time ago.


Gucci Man - Bricks

Sing it with me...BRICKS ALL WHITE BRICKS LIKE TEN BRICKS. If you haven't done it yet, you will. I usually wouldn't plug a whack rapper like Gucci but this is easily the catchiest song I have heard in a long time.


Wale - Freaks

Shout out to Goon Squad on this track, Wale (pronounced Wall-Ayy, (like in Ayy baby haha)) Love this song, good artist who brings that go-go type of Hip Hop a lot of East Coasters enjoy.

05/19/08

First off, I love music, which is exactly why I would do this, through you tube videos and various links, I hope to locate and inform whoever looks at this blog to new music, which I am sure we will hear on the radio eventually.


Well first off, here is one of my favorite songs out right now...

Nappy Roots - No Static

Nappy Roots The Humdinger is easily one of my most anticipated CD's of 2008, one of the hardest working hip hop groups in the game should release a classic in June. With every new song they put up on their myspace makes June 17th seem like a million years away. No static was the first song I heard from the CD and does not dissapoint.



Bun B ft. Lupe Fiasco - Swag on Em


With the tragic death of Pimp C many believed that Bun B would never regain or get back to his form he once showed capable of when he was with C in the dynamic duo UGK. Well I have no clue how or when Lupe and Bun got together but there is some definite chemistry between the two and this is one of the best hip hop tracks of 08'.

Why? - By Torpedo or Crohns



By Torpedo or Crohns is off Why's? new CD Alopecia, this song proves that there is still room for originality in the Rap/Hip Hop genre as well as alteration to the Rock genre. Being original can take you far these days and Why? has found a knack at it throughout their numerous CD's.
