Postdata (Wintersleep's Paul Murphy)

I've been tired of bare, acoustic songs for some time. And when I've really lost faith, I'm tired of guitar in general.

But I find a song every once in a while that is structured exactly in the way that I'm tired of, but something is different.

It's the songwriting - it always has been and always will be!

That haunting, authentic, organic songwriting will always win me over when it's done right with acoustic songs.

And thus, say hello to Postdata.

This is pretty exciting:

Paul Murphy's new little side-project, and the album should be out sometime early 2010.

KiD CuDi - ‘Pursuit Of Happiness’ (Feat. MGMT & Ratatat)

(Produced by Josh Hartnett)

I still think this single deserves "Kids" fame.

Adult Swim Mixtape

This new, free, awesome mixtape is distributed by Adult Swim and Beaterator (that new Timbaland game).

("Timbaland game?" you say)

It features Flying Lotus, El-P, Dabyre, Starkey and more, remixing Cee-Lo, Lil Jon, Hollyweerd, Young Jeezy, Gorilla Zoe, B.o.B, and many more.

Excited to give a full listen myself… If I can get some of this damn essay done.

ATL RMX (Mixtape)

Joell Ortiz - Kawl Me (ft. Novel)

The Slaughterhouse members are dispersing and doing amazing things.

This track uses a classic sample of Al Green's "Call Me" and I love how I can hear how much it's tweak with a computer.

I definitely prefer computer mixing over DJs manually doing it and stuff.

This is making the future of sampling look great.

The Whitest Boy Alive - 1517 (live in a big street)

This performance puts a big smile on my face.

Amazing to see so many random people on a street into this. I don't really know what's going on, if this was just a spur of the moment concert or something. But it's amazing.

the whitest boy alive

This band has the funkiest keyboard parts around, never a let down.

DJ Khaled - Fed Up (ft. Usher, Young Jeezy, etc, etc)

Khaled is such a god damn penguin.

Only good part of this song is thanks to Usher, surprisingly.

His verse at 4:00 is all that matters, too bad it doesn't come until the end.

So you're stuck watching Khaled's fat ass dancing around until it loads far enough to skip there.

Sigh.

Lil' Wayne - I Feel Like Dying (Flying Lotus Remix)

As if this song wasn't already fatally dark and fucked up.

Flying Lotus came along and threw the track into a pit of spikes and.. brilliance.

Lil' Wayne - I Feel Like Dying (Flying Lotus Remix) (MP3)

Bonussss:

Flying Lotus - Robo Tussin (A Milli Remix) (MP3)

Freddie Gibbs - The Label's Tryin' To Kill Me

New Freddie Gibbs mixtape, can I get an amen?

The Empire Strikes Back is my favorite track so far (still working on listening to all 81 tracks on it...)

Download the mixtape here.

And check out that underground mastermind Ryan Hemsworth's remix of his track, Boxframe Cadillac.
