the Walkmen

If you don’t like it? won’t you tell me?

This song is eerie. The bass drum thumps, the guitar drones, what’s not to like about gritty music? The Walkmen is the band. Play the song, and enjoi.

Foals - Ballons

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

If a gunman was shooting at your feet while screaming “dance!”, Foals would be the name of the gun. A 5 man indie band from Oxford, England. They are currently with labels Sub-Pop and Transgressive.

If there is a truly unique, instant classic song, it is “Constance” by Mr. J. Medeiros. He beautifully narrates the story of a 13 year old girl in the Philippines who is exploited for pornography. Her father brings her to a motel, where she is sold for her sexual services and filmed for the American man’s website. Medeiros is able to clearly depict thought provoking details that are not only moving, but are also chilling. Each word is carefully thought out and placed perfectly.

The music video is a must see. The scenes that are shown are neither overdone nor too inappropriate. It carries you through the story while still leaving room for the imagination. If you are looking for a completely new style of a song with a fresh topic, tune in to “Constance.”

Souls of Mischief

This is how we chill from 93′ till, i’ve been chillin since before thaaatt and still am. This song is one of the reasons why I have so much early 90’s rap. I’m a sucker for chill beats. Hopefully this song will encourage you as it did me, to do some homework and find a bunch of older rap songs. 

From 93′ Till

Love LockDown

New Kanye song. I’ve been hearing mixed reviews, from it’s “pretty cool”, “i can get used to this” to “I’m so ready to sock Kanye in his fucking junk for this bullshit.” Personally I like the drum break down and the piano but really, I’m sick of the autotune/vocoder/tpain-wannabe sound that’s all over the airwaves haha. What do you think?
