Lykke Li – Hustlin’ (Rick Ross Cover)
-
Artist:
In the beginning of this video she ask the crowed if they love hip hop, than she ask, does anyone know Rick Ross – I’m pretty sure that was a joke. The funniest thing about this video is the audience, whom to say the least do not look like the type of people with a [...]Related posts:Friendly Fires – I’m Good, I’m Gone (Lykke Li Cover)Friendly Fires – I’m Good, I’m Gone (Lykke Li C

Chromeo – Call Me Up (Bag Raiders Remix)
-
Artist:
-
Track:
Every time I listen to Chromeo I’m reminded of those old school smooth soul R&B/Funk bands. You know, like the Barry Whites, Fatback Band, Major Harris, the Persuaders. All the guys whose sole purpose as artist was to sing about the many complexities, dimensions and details of macking it to girls on a daily basis.

Lou Reed – Walk On The Wild Side
-
Artist:
-
Album:
-
Track:
Most of you will recognize this song as the sample for Tribe Called Quest’s Can I Kick It; while I think the Tribe song is an creative and energetic reinvention, it’s pale in comparison to the quaint and haunting original. Take A Walk On The Wild Side was the surprise hit single from Lou Reed’s [...]Related posts:The Velvet Underground – I’m Waiting For The ManPete & The Pirates – Mr.

Metric – Help I’m Alive (The Twelves Remix)
-
Artist:
-
Track:Help I’m Alive
Collectively known as The Twelves, Brazilian electro-house João Miguel and Luciano Oliveira have become one of the most sought out duos in the industry. Their production decisions are right up there with the best, often opting for the simple and groove heavy instead of the common overproduction and clutter. Some blogs who shall remain nameless [...]Related posts:The Virgins – Rich Girls (Tw

Lykke Li – Little Bit: The Remixes
-
Artist:
I started binging on Youth Novels again and with that comes all the amazing remixes the album has inspired. Perhaps the most remixed track from the album is Little Bit, I can think of about 8 off the top. From what I gather this song is about a “friends with benefits” type of relationship that [...]Related posts:Drake & Lykke Li – Little BitLykke Li – Breaking It Up (Pocketknife’s Loosef

Sebastien Tellier – Roche
This video for “Roche” off of Tellier’s album Sexuality dropped recently and it is half lo-fi pop Côte D’Azur beach vacation glamour and half Jodorowsky inspired acid trip. This album was produced by Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo of Daft Punk, and I think a lot of people slept on it, so here for your listening pleasure [...]No related posts.

Cut Copy – Hearts On Fire (Knightlife Remix)
-
Artist:
-
Album:
I’ve been lazy about posting this remix, partly because I’ve heard so many versions of Hearts On Fire that I didn’t think I could bare sitting through another one. Not surprisingly though, Knightlife did a great job with this one, those Aussies make dance music like Jay-Z sells “ice in the winter, fire in hell… [...]Related posts:Hearts Revolution – Ultra ViolenceCut Copy – Lights An

Beruit – La Llorona
Beruit – La LloronaOwen Cook directs and animates Beirut’s “La Llorona” off of their recent double EP, March Of The Zapotec/Realpeople Holland. The cinematography could easily pass for an Oscar-nominated digital short, though “La Llorona” will more likely be appreciated by the MTV2-insomniac-YouTube-loving set (assuming this alleged audience actually exists).

Fred Falke – French House Remix King
-
Artist:Fred Falke
Will French disco house ever get old? I don’t think so. Besides Don Diablo, I don’t many other producers with as many high quality remixes as 33 year old bass player turned producer, Fred Falke. Notice I said high quality, I know there are producers who release something new every two days but we’re talking [...]Related posts:PNAU – Embrace ft. Ladyhawke (Fred Falke & Miami Horror remix)Th

Lily Allen – Oh My God (Kaiser Chiefs Cover)

Artist:
-
Track:Oh My God
I like Lily Allen ; ) Mostly for her perspective and charm but it’s really starting to look like success treating this PYT very well, yahtzee! That or Katy Perry calling her self a skinner version of Lily Allen must have motivated a little gym campaign – Thank you Katy Perry.Not sure if Marc Ronson [...]Related posts:Lily Allen – WomanizerLily Allen – Not FairLily Allen – The Fear (Chris

N.A.S.A ft. Barbie Hatch, RZA & John Frusciante – Way Down

Artist:
-
Album:
-
Track:
Wow. What starts out as a few blue jays and cardinals lampin’ on a power line turns into something…different. The video might be a little too simple but I’m loving the vibe of the track and the watercolored, hand drawn style. N.A.S.A is currently touring with their star studded album The Spirit of Apollo. If [...]Related posts:Bearbot – Me and You (Peter, Bjrn & John vs Cut Copy)Phoenix

Island Life
And were back… I spent a very long weekend out in Nantucket hanging out in beaches and picnicking in pastures, so let’s just I’m not exactly thrilled about returning to the concrete jungle but so it goes. I’ve vowed to spend the entire summer next year far away from New York City so I’m posting [...]Related posts:Ciara – Promise

KiD CuDi – Dat New New (Viking Remix)
-
Artist:
Viking was recently called out on HypeM for cheating the charts and loving his own music but when we broke this record a few months ago that was far from the case. Most of you may not know the original version of this song, partly because of the production, which was for a lack of [...]Related posts:Kid Cudi – Sky May Fall (Produit par Kanye West)KiD CuDi – Embrace The Martian (Feat.

The Cure – Boys Don’t Cry
One of my favorite songs growing up. It’s about a dude who loses his girl and is sad but can’t show his emotions because well, Boys Don’t Cry.Misjudged your limits, Pushed you too far.Took you for granted, Thought you needed me more. Now I would do most anything, to get you back by my sideBut [...]Related posts:MGMT – Kids (Petshop Boys Synthpop Remix)The Wong Boys – Git Ur Fuk On (DJ Il

M.I.A. – Pull Up The People (Speed Painting By Salena)

Artist:
-
Track:
Randomly ran into this during a YouTube binge and what a pleasant surprise it was. I’m not very familiar with speed painting but this undeniably cool. It’s from an upcoming artist called Salena, out of Berlin, Germany. She’s done a few of them which are featured on her Myspace. The featured track is one of [...]Related posts:M.I.A. – ArularRye Rye – Bang (Feat. M.I.A.)Blind Man’s Colou

Air France – Collapsing at Your Doorstep
In her usual fashion, Steph Lund sent me this amazing song a few weeks ago but I’ve been so busy that I never got around to posting/listening to it. This song truly is something else, bliss is pretty much the only word I can use to describe it. I’m off to Nantucket for the weekend so [...]Related posts:Friendly Fires – Skeleton Boy (Air France Remix)Harlem – South of FranceKelley Polar

Pete & The Pirates – Mr. Understanding
The pop/punk blend is a feeling I really can never get enough of, at least when it’s done right. Pete & The Pirates are a band from Reading, England, they formed in 2005 and have since released two official EPs. Their sound is a mix of 80s post punk and 90’s American indie rock, fresh.

Bat For Lashes – What’s a Girl To Do?
These guys sampled the drums from “Be My Baby,” one of my favorite 60’s songs performed by The Shangri-Las and produced by one of my musical heroes, the pop mastermind Phil Spector. At face value, this song is about the thrill being gone, the end, going from liking someone to indifference. The callous overtone may turn [...]Related posts:Bat For Lashes – Pearl’s Dream (New Video!)Yeah Y
