A not so silent plug for Calvin Harris: I nabbed the new album a little early and it is dope dope dope! Please cop it when it comes out on Monday. But that’s beside the point. The point is: summer school has ended and I suddenly have nothing to do except attend football camp for countless hours a day and film, film, film. Hate my life. But it’s ok, because Rose Bowl 2010 will make it all worth
(photo courtesy of project 365)Sorry for the lack of updates from my side. Been busy with a couple of things. Rounding up a final few things left in this summer of 2009, such as helping the girlfriend move to LA (where I "lost" my wallet and found it in my backpack), picking up my Dad from Korea, and doing the job search thing. But Lloyd's always got my back when we are lacking updates.It was m...
Mika - We Are Golden (Calvin Harris Remix)In anticipation for Calvin Harris’ new album (which is set to be released in ten days!), here’s a post filled with some of his goodies, both new and old (mostly old). He’s come a long way since his first EP dropped back in 2006, so help him help you get your weekend started right. Happy Friday, everyone.Mika - We are Golden (Calvin Harris Remix)Sophi
Amanda Blank - Big HeavyAmanda Blank’s new album, I Love You, just dropped yesterday. Suffice to say, she’s like a white and indie version of Lil’ Kim…except kind of hot. Sort of. Just a little.Dirty, durrrrrty lyrics set to bass heavy New-Wave electronica beats always make for a good time and it’s no different with this album, which features beats produced by the likes of Switch and Dip
Alert: This group needs your attention.Team Teamwork are mashup artists that are easily leagues better than the mashup crap on Hypem that somehow finds its way to the Popular list. Their sound is way too polished for it to go unnoticed. A few of my favorites…Lil Wayne & Birdman ft. Okkervil River - Stuntin’ Like My Daddy.mp3T.I. ft. Sigur Ros - Big Shit Poppin’.mp3Outkast & Killer Mike ft. D

Back in elementary school, summers meant uninterrupted play and time to veg out at the local pool under the glare of the famous California sun. A decade or two later (depending on how old you are), those nostalgic times have slowly devolved into a grueling 9-5 internship/job/class schedule spent culturing proteins/filing papers/studying for midterms. Tank tops have turned into ties and button-d...
Reverend and The Makers - Silence Is TalkingHey guys, I found a time-travelling portal back to 90s dance rock. Don't worry though, Alex Metric can safely return you back to the present.Reverend and The Makers - Silence Is Talking.mp3Reverend and The Makers - Silence Is Talking (Alex Metric Remix).mp3- Albert
500 Days of Summer is easily one of my top films for this summer, if not this year. Character chemistry is flat-out adorable, the script oozes with personality, and the film offers a truthful commentary on both falling in and out of love. I’m a huge fan of both Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel, so watching this was a no-brainer for me. Check out the movie when you can. It really is a re.
I’ve been home/dog sitting for my boss for the last few weeks, so I’ve been subject to shitty internet and total deprivation of my library. As a result, I’ve been forced to listen to the radio, and it really is as bad as Albert said it was. In any given day, I’ll hear Keri Hilson’s Knock You Down about 14 times and Pitbull’s Ocho another 10…that is until I discovered that my Boss’s
Who knew that the Fleet Foxes could be so danceable? I guess if anyone were to do it, it would be The Twelves…Fleet Foxes - White Winter Hymnal (The Twelves Remix).mp3- Albert
By the beard of Zeus, I’ve finally found it! This is of course in regards to my exhaustive search for the perfect summer song. But I’ve found my treasure. I’ve struck gold. I’ve hit the jackpot with the band Bibio.Summer is resting peacefully underneath a shady tree, listening to your favorite tunes, while sunlight slips in between the fingers of the branches. And the perfect piece to this
Wanna hear something oddly refreshing? Let’s clash the disparate worlds of videogames and Weezer and see what happens. A collection of 8-bit music artists have collaborated together (under the name of Pterodactyl Squad) to bring this intriguing collection of Weezer hits (not enough from Pinkerton in my opinion). If Nintendo had used licensed songs in their early 8-bit as they do in current gene.
And it is with unrelenting guilt that I surface back to the world of blogs after a “slight” hibernation period. Call it a cathartic journey, stupidity, or just dub it as laziness, but I simply haven’t felt the urge to write all that much in the past few weeks. But a few days ago, as I was browsing through my itunes library and adding my weekly albums/songs, something caught my eye:I realized
