Hip Hop Sung By White Boys…or Something Like That…
This post is partly inspired by Ian at A Different Kitchen‘s “White Boy Wednesday” posts. It was also partly inspired by the fact that I was listening to Rifle Recoil’s cover of Outkast’s “Prototype” (which I shall post in a bit). I realized that actually there are a number of white boys who have done [...]
John Mayer Gets Stoned
John Mayer – Who Says [Audio clip: view full post to listen] I can’t tell if John Mayer is actually being sincere, but this is some of the best lyrics of 2009, hands down. The track, which begins with the lines “Who says I can’t get stoned,” is simplistic, yet poignant and will most certainly [...]
All It Takes Is One EskimO…
Musically speaking, I am a sucker for a lot of things. Good lyrics, interesting samples and creative music videos are all things that will give me reason to like a musical act. London based band One EskimO fulfills all these needs. On a sidenote, I also happen to be a sucker for Starbucks, which is [...]
“One More Chance” To Fall In Love With Bloc Party
So, I am a HUGE fan of Bloc Party. They have been one of my favorite bands for a while now and I’m always happy to see them putting out new music. Their latest single “One More Chance” has an August 10th release date and if they do anything like they did with their last [...]
THURSDAY: Elevator Fight with Zoe Kravitz
So I was only recently schooled to the fact that model and famous daughter Zoe Kravitz (yes, that Kravitz) is fronting a rock band. And yes, the Philly based group (which includes former Neaveu Riche bassist Khari Mateen is dropping some of the best rock I’ve heard in a while. It’s been a hot minute since female fronted [...]
New Music: Matt and Kim – Daylight (Stic Man of Dead Prez Remix)
Matt and Kim – Daylight (Stic Man Ra Remix) [Audio clip: view full post to listen] I’m not the biggest fan of Brooklyn duo Matt and Kim (it falls a little too far under my term “hipster bulls%it” for my liking), but their song “Daylight” is downright infectious. I’ve been down with that song for [...]
New Music: Passion Pit – The Reeling
So I know that half of y’all aren’t going to like this, and half of you will think I’m a God for posting this. It is what it is. I’ve been a fan of the Boston-based band Passion Pit since I heard their first track “Sleepyhead” way back in November 2008. Since then, these dudes [...]
Video: Colin Munroe feat. Joell Ortiz – Piano Lessons (Prod. by Black Milk)
I’ve been diggin’ Colin Munroe for a hot minute now, and I’m glad the dude is not only getting major promotion, but now has some heavy hitters behind him. “Piano Lessons,” is off of Colin’s Unsung Hero mixtape which dropped last month.
New Music: Peter Bjorn and John – Nothing to Worry About
Peter Bjorn and John – Nothing to Worry About [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Most of y’all might know PB&J (er, Peter Bjorn and John), from the track “Young Folks,” off of their album Writer’s Block, or from the fact that Bjorn produced the top 10 album (IMHO) from Lykke Li. Well, the [...]

SINGLE REVIEW: “HUFF + PUFF” by Just A Band
This joint right here is real sexy-like. Your body will automatically go into autopilot: your head will start boppin’, and you’ll break into a soulful yet swingin’ two-step (think of the Robert Palmer video girls…on speed). The very beginning of the song reminds me of Supernature-era Goldfrapp with heavy synths keys, some la-la-las, and a [...]
