Thursday

Lupe Fiasco - Enemy of the State: A Love Story (Mixtape)

I've more-or-less been sleeping on Lupe for a while now.
But I'm finally awake!
He raps over Radiohead's National Anthem, he samples Street Fighter sounds, what are you waiting for?

Wednesday

Mother Mother - Hayloft (live)

Was just assigned to write a little storythingy about this band for The Coast.
Hadn't heard of them before tonight, but I already love them.
The singing is hyper, the beats have swag, I must dance.

Japoramarama

The Japanese have blessed us with many-a-things: non-American, non-European automobiles, the soup splashguard, etc.


And now they present the greatest spectacle thus far:

The Automatic Mario Queen "Don't Stop Me Now" 自動マリオシーケンサ something-or-other.... Remix!


Thanks for the heads up, Kevin

Stina Nordenstam - Little Star

Just found this Swedish.. experimental pop artist,
who's apparently been around for like 15 years.
Sounds like a shy, insecure Bjork. I likes.

Check out more of her stuff here.

Tuesday

Shaun Boothe - Poor Boy

I respect this guy for the use of the Bohemian Rhapsody sample alone.
Looking forward to his upcoming 3D mixtape project.

Lupe Fiasco, Kanye West, and Pharell Williams - Us Placers

Fantastic music and video.
Lupe, Kanye, and Pharrell with a Thom Yorke sample? Sign me up.

1000 Years After The Beatles

I've always wondered what huge points in history have been treated this way.
John Lennon, Paul McKenzie, Greg Hutchinson, and Scottie Pippen.

Lykke Li - Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow? (Shirelles Cover)

This is brutally candid. And awesome.
