Empire State Of Mind (Pt. 2)

I hope that Jay-Z and Alicia tour together and her last opener is this song and it turns into the rap as his first song. That would be so sick.

Kel's Bad Vain Is A Sleepy Battlefield

1st thing's first:
Sleepyhead (Piano Acoustic) - Passion Pit
Still love this song, no matter what version.

Followed by the best Nickleback cover of all time.

I hate Nickelback with everything in my bones.

~~~~~

I never really noticed
A) how sick this beat is
B) that's Coolio
C) how much I miss classic Nickelodeon


AND TLC DID THE INTRO FOR ALL THAT! WHAAA!



For some reason, Anna and I couldn't remember how this song went. Thankfully, the internet exists.
You're So Vain - Carly Simon

~~~~~


I couldn't put the trailer up due to content but I just want everyone to know that this is going to be the worst movie of 2009 - hands down.
Here's the wikipedia article.
Bad Lieutenant: Port Of Call New Orleans



I recently got hooked on 30 Rock. I know I'm behind the times - whatever. Tracy Jordan sings this song in the one of the first episodes. I forgot how good it was.

They looked at me oddly and put on their headphones.
I cried.

Jay-Z Promises To Be Mayer Of Soul City

Pitchfork has started their top 200 albums of the past decade.
One of my favorite musik blogs Pop Tarts Suck Toasted also started their list. So far, they are leaps and bounds better than Pitchfork.
You know what means?

Time for us to start our journey.

Next week.

October 5th: 50-41
October 6th: 40-31
October 7th: 30-21
October 8th: 20-11
October 9th: 10-1

Get ready.

~~~~~

In the mean time. Enjoy this remarkable video from the VMAs.
Jay-Z and Alicia Keys blow my mind together but what is Lil' Mama doing at the end? You're a b-girl. Get off the stage for now babe.

Empire State Of Mind [ft. Alicia Keys] - Jay-Z

As far as the trilogy is concerned: The Blueprint >The Blueprint 3 > The Blueprint 2

It's easy to find groovy tunes with a motown/soul influence.
Since I Left You - The Avalanches

It's hard to find a modern soul band - until now. Mayer Hawthorne = modern motown. Glorious

Just Ain't Gonna Work Out - Mayer Hawthorne

Kyle Jackson

So my Kyle Jackson and I are friends. He's a sick indie photographer.


The cat shoots skaters.


The cat shoots people.


The cat shoots nature.

He's very good. So good that I can't even describe it. View for yourself.
Kyle Jackson's Flickr
See? Told ya.

He's going to see Colour Revolt tonight. That'll be cool.
Naked And Red - Colour Revolt

He's also really into this band.

Straight Edge for life bro.

So why are Kyle Jackson and I friends (besides the obvious)?
This is why.
Let me replay our text conversation from last night:

Me - "Just an average day in lufe but you're willing to spend a little money because your boss gave you the thumbs up at work for turning your report in on time right after the girl you've been facebook stalking wrote on your wall unexpectedly? Celebrate with a bloomin' onion! Let's go outback tonight."
Kyle - "I got 99 problems but a damsel with loose morals is not one."
Me - "Already read that on tumblr. I win"
Kyle - "They got it from me obvi."
Me - "Oooooh. Touche' sir. Touche'. Silly of me to think a woman could be funny on her own."
Kyle - "What can women do on their own anyway?"
Me - "Wanna hear a joke?"
Kyle - "Women's rights."
Me - "Sir. You read my mind. Continue to impress me and someone will receive a special high five."

Amazing.

Coke Samples In Hip Hop Are Il

Alright so here it goes. I respect Kanye as a producer. I like his first two albums. I think Graduation was all for the money and 808 and the CrapTastics isn't even musik.
However
Learning that Kanye knows the art of sampling and does it well makes me rethink my position on him. I love it when rappers sample songs; hence the reason I love 80s and 90s hip hop. Check this out and let me know what you think.

If Kanye did a show with a DJ and all records and used the legit, non-altered samples I would buy everyone of his records.

Not sampling like this crap: I'll Be Missing You - P-Diddy. All that is is Combs rapping over an already good song.

More like this: which samples
Juicy Fruit - Mtume
or if you're into this
Juicy (The Notorious B.I.G. Cover) - Emily Wells

Why is hip hop dead?
Whatever, that's a whole 'nother post.
Touch The Sky [ft. Lupe Fiasco] - Kanye West

~~~~~

Don't know if you guys have seen this yet but it's everything I want and more.

Coke always gets a party started...
Yeah Yeah Yeah La La La - Calvin Harris

~~~~~

This is alright. I'm not sure how I feel about rapping over folk classics.
Don't Think Twice (Bob Dylan Tribute, Messengers Remix) - J. Period & K'NAAN
I am all for the Illinoize though.

Some Of My Favorite Musik Videos

I've been at college a month, give or take. I've already met some of the coolest people I'll ever meet in my life.
Me and my friend Anna drove 30+ to and from Boston this weekend. We listened to musik 90%+ of the time. I gained an appreciation for hard core. She for electronic/mash ups.
We are going to watch a days worth of musik videos soon.

Here are some of my all-time favorites:

Who's Gonna Save My Soul - Gnarls Barkley


Star Guitar - The Chemical Brothers


Come To Daddy (Pappy Mix) - Aphex Twin


Still Here - Girl Talk


Around The World - Daft Punk


Rabbit In Your Headlights [ft. Thom York] - UNKLE


99 Problems - Jay-Z


Stress - Justice

Hypnotize - The Notorious B.I.G.


Single Ladies - Beyonce

Justin Timberlake is awesome

Hooked On A Feeling - David Hasselhoff



What are your favorite videos?

Kanye Cutie Feels It Between 2 Ferns

New Death Cab song.

Meet Me On The Equinox - Death Cab For Cutie

This is pretty rock and roll/hilarious.

I hope you cats view this site on the reg.






Very cool idea: Film The Blanks

~~~~~
A sold off of the new iTunes "Indie Spotlight."
Corner - Allie Moss

A fresh sound. I can't say I've heard anything like this in a while. A girl singer with a semi-grunge more pop than rock sound. I like it.
Animal - Iko

Thanks to Direct Current Music and Bored And Beats for the mp3s.

Mike, "Where are the Kate Bush posters?"

So Much New Musik, I Couldn't Think Of A Witty Title

So thanks to The Mixtape for letting me know about this video. A new video for a new Modest Mouse song, directed by Heath Ledger.

It doesn't make much sense to me but I thought it was appropriate due to its director and to the fact that Georgina keeps telling me about the new Modest Mouse EP, "No One's First And You're Next" which contains this, and other songs.
King Rat - Modest Mouse

~~~~~

Since it's been the summer, I've been waking up every morning and watching musik videos on Fuse and VH1 and, occasionally, MTV. They mostly all suck, except for this song. Give it credit for being a hip hop/pop song/video.

Knock You Down [ft. Kanye West & Ne-Yo] - Keri Hilson

Jay-Z, Kanye and Rihanna did a song. Anyone else think that Sean Carter is losing his touch a tad?
Run This Town [ft. Kanye West & Rihanna] - Jay-Z
What's the new fad with rappers wanting to use rock melodies in their tunes?

Harry Patch - Radiohead
NEW RADIOHEAD! AAAHHHHHH!!!!!

NEW MUSE!
Uprising - Muse
NEW MUSE! AAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!
