Deadringer came out in 2002, my sophomore year in college. I was living in a dorm room, had just gotten my first MPC 2000XL and my friend R. would roll through like clockwork every single day to light up a blunt, breakdown song lyrics and just vibe to good music. I always say college is [...]No related posts.

Before hearing this I thought Ben Folds was the very antithesis of gangster, but a few years after graduating college I’ve finally learned the lesson my Liberal Studies 1 professor was trying to drill that whole semester, all is truly one.B*****s Ain’t S*** is the tragic love story of a young Snoop Dogg who comes [...]Related posts:M.I.A. – Pull Up The People (Speed Painting By Salena)Dr. Dr

First of all, this song is sick. G.O.V. is one of my favorite unsigned artist for many reasons but mainly because we share a peculiar and idiosyncratic perspective when it comes to love and girls. Forever is an extremely feel good and sarcastic song that represents the ever so complicated ups and downs of love, courtship [...]Related posts:Royksopp – ForeverJay-Z: I’m Off ThatKid Cudi – Sky

I’ve been dealing with a few people who suffer from severe levels of selfishness and insecurity lately and it’s starting to be discouraging. It’s like no matter what you do, how much love, how much loyalty or honesty you show these people can’t stop hesitating and questioning things. In fact, they actually take these things [...]Related posts:Electric Tickle Machine – Women Are The New M

A lot of people don’t know this but Miike Snow is produced by the same guys who produced some of Britney Spears’ biggest hits! That right the guys who helped make Animal are the same guys who wrote and produced Toxic, Radar and Piece of Me.

All my friends are growing up and I’m not sure I like it. I mean it’s no wonder why I see more and more people dating younger ages, ya’ll are getting boring!

A lot happened this weekend and I’d never thought I’d be saying this but I’m kinda glad it’s monday. I went to Megu Saturday night, a restaurant which I highly recommend to anyone into Japanese food. I don’t know how they do it but after eating the black cod and kobe beef you literally feel [...]Related posts:Janis Joplin – One Night StandFred Falke – French House Remix KingKid Cudi

Man look at these suckers. I ain’t no rapper, I’m a hustler. It just so happens I know how to rap.” In the beginning Hip Hop was about b-boying, djing, graffiti and emceeing. The drug game of the late 1980’s changed the ghetto so it was only natural that it would change the music as well.

Ok so I’ve been posting songs from It’s Not Me, It’s You for what seems like years at this point and much to the dismay of my little sister here’s another one. Don’t fret though this one is from her freshman effort Alright, Still.

Finally, a new song from the only band that shares my affection for nice legs and speaks my language when it comes to girls. For me, aside from the dance floor bangers, Fancy Footwork was a journey into the many intricacies of dating, loving and having fun with girls. This time around Chromeo address that stage of [...]Related posts:Chromeo – I Can’t Tell You WhyChromeo – Call Me Up (Bag

Will someone please explain to me the phenomenon that is time while at work?

Am I the only one that finds this song a little strage? I mean it’s pretty clear the song is about the sad story of a teenager so deeply involved with drugs that he has no friends, is willing to try anything and ends up overdosing. The instrumentation and vocal performance however, have that hopeful [...]Related posts:The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart – Stay AliveDee Dee Sharp – I’m Not I

One of our readers commented on yesterdays post and said the Yael Naim cover of Toxic is better than the Marc Ronson version. First of all, saying one is better than the other doesn’t really make sense in this case. While both are interpretations of the same song, they are noticeably different in styles and [...]Related posts:Timid Tiger – Womanizer (Britney Spears Cover)Mark Ronson – To

I’m taking it way back today, back to a time when not even twitter existed – 2007. It was in that ancient time when Mark Ronson released a cover album called Version. The last track I posted from that album was Lily Allen’s amazing cover of the Kaiser Chiefs’ Oh My God, if you’re new [...]Related posts:Yael Naim – Toxic (Britney Spears Cover)Nickel Eye Feat.
