Confused by Coochie

Blakroc - Coochie (feat Ludacris and ODB)

This song is crazy good. Amazing that ODB can still lay it down from beyond the grave, clearly the best dead rapper still producing music.

Bouncy

Love this song off the new DJ Zinc "Crack House EP"

This Song is Hard, Like Seriously

I didn't think Big Pun had it in him, this song is serious. Too bad I only now learned of its existence.

For 2010

The release of this song isn't supposed to occur until Februrary 2010 but here it is. Sort of a remix of a song that I've posted here before (White Town - Your Woman) with a grunge/dance feel, it is great.

Top 10 Singles of 2009

Vetiver - More of This.

There is a Neighbors Remix of this song that I prefer but is not up on YouTube, so this is close enough.

This song has a real relaxed vibe yet holds your attention. It is perfect folk-pop.



Throughout the latter half of 2009, The XX have become one of my favorite groups. Listening to their self-titled album makes me feel similar to how I feel when I listen to Interpol - Turn On the Bright Lights, pleasantly depressed.

Though I've never really listened much to the original version of this song, The XX cover with the synth harp sounds and more somber feel is just perfect.



Yo La Tengo - Periodically Double and Triple

Haven't listened to this band in years, but if they could put out an album of stuff like this I would listen to them all the time. Unfortunately Popular Songs doesn't appear to contain such consistency. Still a fantastic single and pretty cool video to boot.



Mark Pritchard & Om'Mas Keith - Wind it Up

I don't think I really need to comment on why this song is so great, just listen.



This song has a very exciting build up and the kid chorus section just gives it a really interesting sound. Though the entire album this song is on is great, this song in particular has graced my ears the most, plus Benji B played it on his 2009 round-up show, so it is legit.



The Fruit Bats - The Ruminant Band

Can't really explain why I like this song, it is just really catchy. The lyrics are great and the video is strangely awesome.



Tim and Jean - Come Around

These dudes are both under 20 I think. This song reminds of 20 year-olds imitating Justice, like Justice Jr., there is a certain immaturity and happiness to this song.



Operation Aloha - Failure

I've listened to this song a countless number of times, the lyrics are fantastic and when the chorus kicks in it just has a great feeling. Great song, mediocre album.



Claude Von Stroke - Monster Island

I wish I went to crubs so I could hear this song on a banging system, love the bassline.



Dam Funk - Hood Pass Intact

Keep your hood pass intact because you might go back. This is some straight west coast shit even though I don't really know what that means, it seems like a phrase often used to describe this song and Dam Funk in general. Remember funk isn't a fad, its a way of life.

Thank you 2009, welcome 2010.

Love FOTC

This song has been making its way around all the BBC DJ shows, its awesome.

The Tiger

I've been hearing a lot of really good dance music with partly Spanish lyrics, there is something about that language that just flows really well. This girl is on Mad Decent and I need to get this album.

Classic Remixes of a Classic

Heard this first one on the Hudson Mohawke Essential Mix



Heard that Jazzy Jeff was going to do a Michael Jackson tribute mix soon, definitely looking forward to that.

Another Classic

When Mike Pickering starts playing this on the Hacienda special I always get really excited, love this song.

Heard You Calling

Heard this song on a Joy Division/New Order mix. I think I've heard it before on the Hacienda Essential Mix, anyways its great and I wish I lived in Manchester in the 80's so I could have gone and partied at the Hacienda in its salad days.

Definitely a classic, and a Greg Wilson favorite

The Jordin Sparks version sucks, I hate American Idol so much.

Pon De Floor

Get down like Katie Couric with this jam

Hot Music from Australia

This song rules. Download it here.

Not Dumb

The Nu Sound

DJ Zinc killing with his new genre of "Crack House", a lot of his stuff sounds a lot like Major Lazer which is good. I heard that he was heavily influenced by Switch who is half of Major Lazer, so that is probably why.

Bombarded by Brocolli

Cool video Jape - Floating, love this song.

Stick Up For Yourself Son

Heard this on Kissy Sell Out's show today. Really catchy, gonna have to look into this band some more, they have a nice 80's sound.

Keep On Dancin' (or not . . .)

Love this song, first heard it a year or so back on the Hacienda special essential mix.

Dam Funk x Notorious B.I.G. = Serious

Some dude mashed up Dam Funk's "Hood Pass Intact" with Notorious B.I.G.'s "Back to Cali" and it is sick. Download it here: http://www.zshare.net/download/57156744ed68ff29/

Such an Awesome Satire

This is a really great re-write of Katy Perry's "I Kissed a Girl". Catchy, laid-back, and funny. I heard this on a dubstep mixtape by G31 called "Mind the Dubstep", good mix. Mixing this song on a dubstep mix I believe is an homage to Rusko's Essential Mix where he mixes in Katy Perry's "I Kissed a Girl" at about an hour in, check that out.

Calvin Harris, the Scottish LCD Soundsystem

This guy is getting popular, but a lot of his stuff seems directly ripped off of LCD Soundsystem, like his party at my house song. Anyways I posted a Deadmau5 remix of one his songs a few weeks ago, that song is legit, the original not so much.

Funky Friday

Love this Dam Funk record

Back It Up

Been getting into Dam-Funk lately and was looking around YouTube for some stuff he played at this set in New York, this tune came up. Pretty solid song, I wish that I knew more about early 80's Funk. I guess not being born yet doesn't help your ability to absorb the music.

Evil

This track is killer. Though the producer has this wierd affinity for birds:

For The Alcoholic In All Of Us

When I first saw this video, I watched it maybe 2-3 times in a row, and then everyday for a couple of days. Just something about the song and the imagery is really deep, just a really well shot video, even though the male vocals are difficult to relate to the female actress. Anyways, Massive Attack definitely one my favorite groups of all time, and this track holds a special place in my heart.

I read about the vocalist on this track, apparently he used to work at the University of Chicago and would perform on the weekends. When it was discovered that he was a successful singer (he mostly performed in the UK, probably due to the popularity of American soul music in the UK in the 80's/90's) he was fired. So that sucks.

Somehow Master P Always Knows What I'm Thinking

This beat/song has been redone way too many times, but I like this version a hell of a lot better than "I Need Drugs". Lil' Romeo lost all of his street cred when he decided to act in a Nickelodeon show. You don't go from Nickelodeon to BET's 106 & Park. Apparently he plays basketball for USC, thats legit. Maybe if I see him in the tournament this March he'll get more respect from me.

Greg Wilson - Teenage DJ

Greg Wilson was one of the first DJ's in the UK to use two turntables simultaneously. He only recently had an Essential Mix (which essentially places you in the canon of DJ's) and killed it. I highly suggest you download it. This is one of my favorite parts of the mix, "Gottta Keep Workin' It", a Missy Elliot mashup:

"Gottta Keep Workin' It (Mediafire Link)"

If Diplo Says He's A Genius Then It Must Be True

Diplo just posted this video up on the Mad Decent blog. He says that the more you listen the more you recognize that Bangs is a genius, we'll see about that. But for now, the beat and the chorus of this song sure do stick in your head, even though the guys accent is hilariously strong. Nothing a little autotune can't fix. Also I love all the shit in the background, the Cadillac that doesn't actually exist (I don't think they ever built one), and the map of Africa with Sudan filled in so you know where he's from.

Just Because Its a Cover Doesn't Mean Its Bad

I really like this version of "Sweet Jane" by the Cowboy Junkies, has a nice 90's vibe to it, and is just nice and relaxed.

Roll Deep - Stampers

The beat on this song is crazy. I don't know how you can listen to this song and not nod your head, its like "Break Ya' Neck" but better, it just bounces. I've only heard of Wiley (the producer for this song) through some of the BBC 1Xtra shows I listen to (Essential Mix, Annie Mac, Marie Ann Hobbs, Giles Peterson), but man I've been missing out.

Hillary Clinton's Old Band

So Chill

Toeachizown (D-F's Theme) - Dâ...

Guns Don't Kill People, Lazers Do

I feel like I've neglected grime, no longer, I'm getting into it deep.

Is The XX the Interpol of 2009?

I would say yes. I can see myself listening to this album as much as I've listened to "Turn on the Bright Lights". It is so good.

Apparently This Guy Is Popular, I Only Learned His Name Today

Flow Dan, Vampire Slayer

$100 Bills? Achoo Achoo

RIP Dilla

I love this song, so relaxed, it just grooves. Here is the instrumental which I think is wonderful too. Listening to Dam Funk recently makes me appreciate the instrumentals more.

Wind It Up

Maybe I Like The XX too much?

Want To Remix This

Classic

Pretty Good Follow Up to Day n' Night

I feel like he's hyped way too much. He's not that great of a rapper, when I first heard Day n' Night I really connected with the lyrics, but its all about being a loner. So this hype is pretty ironic. The beat for this song is by one of my new favorite artists: Nosaj Thing.

I'll Never Tire of This

I Want A '70 Dodge Charger

Nice

I heard this guy was too shy to get his picture taken even with his back to the camera. That's pretty shy.

iPhone Accessory of the Day

Getting an iPhone in a couple of weeks, decided on this case. Switcheasy Colors in Bleu (why it is spelled like this, I don't know). Read a lot of reviews and this seems like the best one, for me at least.

Shoe(s) of the Day

Jordan V Raging Bull Pack, only $310 for the pair. I don't know where people get that much to just drop on shoes at once. Although this is one of the rare packs that I actually like both pairs, unlike this Jordan I New Love/Old Love pack:

Song of the Day

Song of the Day (2)

It's 12 past midnight, don't close your eyes
Your soul's half alive, and I'll be by your side
I've come to take you there, show you how to care
Just be aware, that you'll have to share

I want your love, I want it tonight
I'm taking your heart, so don't you fight
I'll be your answer, I'll be your wish
I'll be your fantasy, your favorite dish

From the back to the middle and around again
I'm gonna be there til the end
100% pure love

From the back to the middle and around again
I'm gonna be there til the end
100% pure love

You saw a brand new high, thought that you could fly
Did I hear you cry, or did you like the ride
You call my name again, no it's not a sin
I'll show you how to win, and where I've been

I want your love, I want it tonight
I'm taking your heart, so don't you fight
I'll be your answer, I'll be your wish
I'll be your fantasy, your favorite dish

From the back to the middle and around again
I'm gonna be there til the end
100% pure love

From the back to the middle and around again
I'm gonna be there til the end
100% pure love

From the back to the middle and around again
I'm gonna be there til the end
100% pure love

You'll never have to run away
you'll always have a friend to play
You'll never go out on your own
In me you will find a home, home

From the back to the middle and around again
I'm gonna be there til the end
100% pure love

From the back to the middle and around again
I'm gonna be there til the end
100% pure love

Product of the Day

I recently purchased a pair of Audio Technica ATH-M50 headphones to replace my well used Sennheiser HD-280's.

Though regarded as some of the best headphones available under $100 (I also own a pair of Grado SR-80's which belong on the best headphones under $100 list as well) the HD-280's (and SR-80's) simply do not belong in the same category as the ATH-M50's.

Build quality, comfort, and sound quality of the ATH-M50's are all a significant notch above the HD-280's and SR-80's.

They are highly recommended considering that I picked up my pair for $95 shipped on eBay.

Song of the Day

It never really matter to much to me
That you were just to damn old for me
All that really mattered was you was my girlfriend
And baby that's all that mattered to me

(Chorus)
Let me love you down
Even if it takes all night
Let me love you down
You know it's going to be so right

Remember when I drove you home from work
I love the way when you kissed me bye
All your friends think I'm just too young for you
(You tell em)
That I can do what guys their age can do
Oh baby

(Chorus)
Let me love you down
Even if it takes all night
Let me love you down
You know it's got to be so right
(REPEAT)

It never really matter to much to me
That you were just to damn old for me
All that really mattered was you was my girlfriend
And baby that's all that mattered to me

(Chorus)
Let me love you down
Even if it takes all night
Let me love you down
You know it's got to be so right
(REPEAT)

Let me love ya
Let me love ya
Let me love ya down
I know I know I could
Let me love you down
I know it's gonna take all night
Let me love you down
Let me love you down
Oohh
Let me love ya
Love you down
Down, down, down
Love you down
Down, down, down
I know I know I could
Let me love you down
The whole night through
Let me love you down
I know I could baby
Let me love you down
Oh baby
The whole night through
