kanye and chris martin collabo

everything i hear from kanye's new album is great, but this is probably my favorite single so far. is it wrong that i miss chris martin? is it wrong that i like kanye west? yeah, probably yes and yes, but shut it, dont judge me! download 'homecoming' and like it or else!

ferraby lionheart is lovely

ferraby lionheart is my new obsession. folky, weepy, and wonderful enough to melt my cold black heart for a few minutes. listen and love 'put me in your play.'


ferraby lionheart

yeah, that's right. im on the bat for lashes bandwagon too.

everyone's talking about them, and yes, i know i succumb to hype way too often (i love M.I.A. and Go! Team and i'm not apologizing for it!) but i'm pretty sure bat for lashes actually lives up to the hype. they remind me of the cocteau twins. download 'prescilla' if you want!


bat for lashes

jason isbell is a hot bitch!

so download 'dress blues' and friend his ass!


on a more serious note, this song makes me seriously weepy, so make sure no one you want to look tough around is nearby when you hear it.

mp3 flashback: martha wainwright, 'factories'

one of the most lovely album tracks i've heard in recent years. this album came out a while back, but if you haven't heard it, i suggest you check out the track below.

ryan adams, 'the sun also sets' = song of the day!

ryan adams' new album 'easy tiger' is his best one in years, more country and more bleeding heart drama than he's written in a while, and 'the sun also sets' is my favorite track on the rekkid. download it below.

song of the day: 'to the sky' by the maps

every few days a new song will stand out amongst the dozens of new songs i hear every day and stop me in my tracks. the maps' new album, 'we can create' is a gorgeous work, out on mute right now, and you should listen to it. below is the track that was good enough to tear me away from boing boing and cat macros for a whole 4 minutes. that's no small task.

what the eff happened to my lord and savior andrew wk???

andrew wk is one of my favorite people in the world. however, something horrible happened to him. he played the boredoms drummers event this weekend in a suburban dad costume, short hair, and absolutely no fake blood on his person. like, not anywhere. i could cry! see for yourself!


here's an old photo of him looking amazing, the way he should be!!!

zach galifianakis in new kanye video? GASP!

**UPDATE!** da googlz showed me this, from a mag interview he did recently:
"Strangely I’m shooting Kanye West’s new music video here at the farm. He asked me to do it. He doesn’t want to be in it, but he sent me this new song and then asked me to make a video for him here at my farm."

this could still be an elaborate hoax, but if not, OMG OMG OMG OMG O.M.GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

according to a myspace blast zach did, he's going to be in the next kanye video. this is too good to be true, so im taking this as a zany zach prank. either way, this is what he said:

"New music video from Kanye West coming soon, featuring Zach Galifianakis."

that doesnt seem to be in joke format, but what the crap do i know about comedy. either way, VIVA LA ZACH!

photos from shan franshishco's "77 Million Paintings By Brian Eno" event a couple days ago. basically a digital art company made paintings out of sound waves, which i wish i could have seen, but i live too gottdamn far away.

Chuck D track on new Go! Team album!

first of all: new go! team album out on sept 11, is amazing news. second of all: they've moved from columbia to sub pop, which could be good or bad but probably good. thirdly: CHUCK D DID A FILTHY TRACK ON THE REKKID!

from pfork's interview with ian parton:
"The label asked me if there was anyone I wanted to work with, and I said Public Enemy is one of my favorite bands. We emailed him a track; he dug it. He went to the studio and did a few takes of stuff he'd written, and I inherited them and moved them around and chopped them up a little bit and it turned out be 'Flashlight Fight'. It's a lot dirtier and chaotic than you're used to hearing hip-hop being."

im used to hip-hop being pretty dirty, so this track will probably knock the earf off its axis. hot.

new kanye video iz fiyer!

neon! explosions! hype williams! car chases! daft punk! the new kanye vid is no joke.

i like something by mocean worker and must live with the shame

normally im not really into mocean worker's music, but his new video is really adorable (dancing wrenches with little gloves on, anyone?)
