Kayne West and Jay-Z ft Elly Jackson :: That's My Bitch



Kanye and Jay Z are expected to release a collaboration in the next year or so. Here is a listen of their first single to be released. It features Elly Jackson, who you may know from La roux. This track goes and is insanely catchy and invigorating. With Jay-Z and Yeezy trading verses and Elly on the hook I c

Kanye West :: My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy



Here's the epic video from Kanye's newest album. I love this album and have listened to over 15 times in 4 days. I lost track after that. This video is pretty sick, but really long. It's really an amalgamation of all the tracks and set to one video. If you have half an hour, I'd recommend watching. The chick in it is hella fine too.

Kisses :: Weekend In Brooklyn



I fell in love with this track, and everything I've heard from the band since, immediately. I don't have much info on the band other than that they are from the South Land. I hope you enjoy the track.

Wagner


Wagner - Recession Song by Mr. TMS

   Wagner is another french fellow who enjoys making music with synthesizers. He makes electronic pop tunes, and so far only has two official original tracks of his own (one appeared above) But has quite a few remixes and is actively playing shows. Next time your in France be sure to show him some support and go to a show of his!

Avey Tare- Lucky one



Of course their is a lot of buzz behind Avey Tares solo release "Down There" being a member of that one band called Animal Collective who had a shoein slot for every indie bloggers top albums of 2009 with the vibrant technicolor sounds of their Merriweather Post Pavillion. This video (much like the MJs video I posted below) features strange stopmotion- esque choppiness and random triangles...a video perfect for zoning out stoned too.. aside from the hype the album is pretty cool with some interesting sounds I recommend the song "Oliver Twist"

Midnight Juggernauts Lara vs. the savage pack



MJ's came this monday to SF... another good show missed... oh well maybe on their third album/world tour I'll catch them..  This song is one of my favorites off their sophomore release along with the songs "Lifeblood flow","Winds of Fortune",and "Fade to Red"  actually the whole album "the crystal axis" is pretty epic, they did a good job creating a whole new feeling yet still keeping their signature sci-fi fantasy spacey sound.

Montauk :: Holiday



The intro to this song reminds me of the Spider-Man cartoon from the '90s. Anyway, more Scandanavians are showing up on this blog everyday.

Grimes :: Sagrad

I have listened to this album everday for at least a month. I wake up and turn it on every morning and play while I am going to sleep every night. I think this song is my favorite and it has been stuck in my head literally everyday. Here's a link to download the song or just listen to it. I've had a lot of difficulty finding a youtube video of this or myspace so this was the best I could do. Hope it works, and that you enjoy the song as much as I do. http://www.google.com/search?q=sagrad&rls=com.microsoft:en-us&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&startIndex=&startPage=1

Acid House Kings :: Are We Lovers Or Are We Friends



I love the simple melodies in this song as well as the whispering back-up vocals. It has that pop purity that reminds me of the happy and warm days of summer. A welcome feeling as we approach the dark winter. This swedish band has been around since 1991 and just released their 5th album.

A Perfect Circle :: Weak and Powerless



Here's an oldie but a goodie. This one goes back to middle school for me. In fact this album, The Thirteenth Step, helped define that time for me. I was lucky enough to see them live last night and the blew my frickin' mind. It was like a super group of rock, the drummer has played in Nine Inch Nails and has worked with Devo, the guitarists is a former member of Smashing pumpkins and of course Maynard James Keenan, their vocalist, who is also the front man in Tool. Amazing show, I hope you like the track.

Trophy Wife :: Microlite


There has been a pretty sweet acoustic cover of this song circulating around the blogosphere. I personally love it, it reminds me of some Royksopp, or maybe it's Erlend Oye's other project Kings of Convenience that it reminds me of. Either way, I really like it, maybe you will too.

Postponed Script: Sorry about the huge video window. I don't know how to fix it.

Dr. Dre ft Snoop Dogg and Akon



Here's a pretty phat track that was leaked from Dre's new album Detox. It's pretty sick so give it a listen.

Bodies of Water :: Rise Up, Careful



I couldn't find much on this LA based band, but I sure like this track off their up and coming sophmore album.

David Guetta ft Kid Cudi :: Memories



I know this doesn't go along with the typical music on this blog but I have really been liking the stuff David Guetta is pumping out. This song tops the rest though, for me at least. The chorus is how I feel every weekend, just let it all go, that's the best therapy. I can't get this song outta my head and when it comes on, I go off! This friday as you get ready to go out, crank this shit up and you'll be ready to party all night. "It's gettin' late/ but I don't mind" Check out the official video here.

Here's a track from Warpaint's new album "The Fool". A great track complete with their signature echoey sound and a great guitar riff. I hope you enjoy this band and this track as much as I do.

Octopus Project :: Hallucinists

Hallucinists from Wiley Wiggins on Vimeo.



I had tickets to see Octopus Project with Starfucker and missed it. This song makes me regret my decision to stay in more than any other.

The Morning Benders :: Dreams



I saw the Morning Benders for the second time a few weeks ago and they closed out with this cover of Fleetwood Mac. It's been stuck in my head ever since. Stevie Nicks does a great job, but there's something about his voice that sounds so sweet. Check it out.

Crystal Casltes ft Robert Smith :: Not In Love



Here's a new track from the ever popular Crystal Castles. This track features The Cure front man Robert Smith. I'm a big fan of The Cure so it's obvious that I would like this song. With a relentless beat, shimmering synths and Smith's crooning, this song has earned it's spot in my heavy rotation.
