My Ipod

Ive been going through my Ipod this week clearing off alot of bullshit songs (i.e. Nelly Furtado - Promiscuous Girl). Alot of which I have no idea how they got there. Weird shit. Alot of songs I had actually never heard before because I can get pretty ridiculous when downloading full discographies and shiii. This gave me the opportunity to organize/create some new playlists. Playlists which I like to name based either on; mood setting, or level of goodness, etc. This time I tried to do something ive tried to do soooooo many times in the past, by creating the ULTIMATE playlist. But seriously, a playlist so good that you wouldnt ever have to skip a song, or ever ever ever get bored of. This was so hard in fact that i created a secondary playlist entitled "Didn't Make the Cut"...Yeah thats how serious im taking this. haha. This playlist included some of my very favourites, but ones I felt wouldnt survive the test of time. SO, this is an early draft, and will most likely change. Here you go, my first - serious - attempt at making the best playlist EVER conceived. According to me of course.

Elliot Brood - Write it all down for you
Otis Taylor - Ten Million Slaves
Clint Mansell - Requiem For a Dream
Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Scar Tissue
3 Inches of Blood - Axes of Evil
Ennio Morricone - L'estasi Dell'Oro
Hall & Oates - You Make My Dreams
Cave Singers - Vv
Oren Lavie - Her Morning Elegance
Semisonic - Closing Time
Simon & Garfunkel - Sound of Silence
Yelle - Ce Jeu
John Dahlback - Blink
Zion I - Coastin'
Ray LaMontagne - You are the best thing
Spoon - The way we get by
Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros - Home
The verve - Bittersweet symphony
The Rural Alberta Advantage - In the Summertime
Will - Wont be so Down
Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Under the Bridge
Matt & Kim - Daylight
Cave Singers - At the cut
Oasis - Wonderwall
Wolf Parade - I'll believe in anything
Nas -Get Down
City & Colour - The Death of Me
Elliot Brood - The Valley Town
Clint Mansell - Dead Reckoning
Fat Boy Slim - Right here, Right Now

Some of these songs have actually been on my ipod for almost 6 years!

We Have Band

Throughout the video you're wondering - what the frig. Stick with it, the ending is the best part. Its one of those Lee Hanrahanrahanrahanrahanrahan's trickeries. (For those of you who hadn't noticed, Lee's last name can go on FOREVER). TRIPPPY.

Nice tattoo.

LOLOL. Sooo are you gonna kill yourself now or later?

He kinda looks like Ewan McGregor, except with Wayfarer's tattooed on his face.

80s Throwback Throw Down

THE BEST


Which leads me to my next point. CHECK THIS SHIT OUT.

Proof

I have a theory! Die Antwoord is a fake, joke band. Comedic geniuses sent to fool all the gullible scenesters into buying fancy pancy t-shirts with their names on them. I just read an interview they had with Pitchfork and as far as im concerned, its proof that they're joking:

Pitchfork: Where do you guys live now?
DA: At the moment Ninja is staying at his chommie Dragon's crib. Dragon is Ninja's personal trainer. He's from the Congo. Dragon is teaching Ninja gorilla style at the moment. Part of this training involves watching National Geographic wildlife movies about gorillas in the mist. Yo-Landi is staying at her mom for a few days cos she has to wash some clothes before her trip to L.A. in two weeks time. DJ Hi-Tek is fokken missing as usual (his phone is never on). He lives with his gran.
Pitchfork: Was there one moment of epiphany when you saw the potential of, as you say, your inner zef and the potential of Die Antwoord?
DA: Ninja, Yo-Landi, and DJ Hi-Tek were at a rave at Ninja's parents' house when they discovered Die Antwoord. We actually are making a high-energy, totally next-level, rap-rave feature film about this called The Answer. We would compare it to District 9, but just with more rave and more rap. This feature film is part of the reason why some people are flying Ninja and Yo-Landi to L.A. in two weeks' time.

I was talking about it with my boss and we noticed that we had scene this before. This is Spinal Tap has done it, and of course the OG "Zef"rapper Ali G, who even makes reference to Ja, which is mentioned in this interview. Theres no way someone is that retarded, come on they refer to District 9 "just with more rave and more rap". Me thinks they be joking. And if right, theyre genius.



You heard it here first. I am God. I am ultimate.

Who is Nneka?

Preach! Take em to Chuuurch with this one. Im suprised I hadnt heard about her before, I guess shes just too underground for me. Anyways, check her out, she is REALLY good...
Also heres what people are saying about Nneka:
"SHES THE BEST" - Chris Corvo (the only opinion that matters)

Nneka - Heartbeat (Pumping Ass REMIX)
Nneka - Suffri
Nneka - The Uncomfortable Truth

EPIC

I was just listening to the Machine and this track came on (I nearly shhhiit), and i started asking myself. Whhhhhhhaaaaaaaaat is this? Whhhhhhhhhhhere did you come from? Whoooooooooooooo is responsible for this?..The song, it sounds so familiar, where have i heard this? Oh yeah, "The good, the bad, and the Fuckin' Ugly!" and probably a hundred other movies. I've always been a sucker for epicly orchestrated pieces of music like Requiem for a Dream, Dead Reckoning, and that battle track from Troy and Avatar, and this is right there on that list. (What i should say is im a sucker for Clint Mansell. Hes unreal) The original is really good, but the remix is way more pumping..

(also found out it was in this Superbowl commercial)

Ennio Morricone - L'estasi Dell'Oro(remix)
Clint Mansell - Lux Aeterna

Dj Barletta

WATCH FULL SCREEN HD.
And yes if your wondering, they are sniffing coke off a guy whos bleeding on a wall.

Sick on so many levels..

Saint Vincent Lombardi

I dont watch much football because i find it incredibly boring but super bowl XLIV was crazy! (Brees' firing squad rush for the lead and porters interception was sick). I was cheering for the Saints because they were the underdog and because Lil wayne reps that shit. So i was stoked. Another perk to watching football on this particular day is the beretta of funny commercials. Doritos absolutely killed it, check out these two commercials. Funny Funny.

That Rich Nigga Shit

Black on black on black on black on black black black blbkackak!

Rollercoaster

Get that in ya. Freaky deeky shit

At least i have alot of money, spend alot of money, and look like i spend alot of money... Bitch

Nostalgic

"...the Cave Singers' mild, moseying tunes aren't without their minor charms, and they're unfailingly good at conjuring images of wide-open fields and dust-caked lanes, but nobody wants to walk down the same road all the time if they can help it." - Pitchfork.com

I thought id search the band just to hear what pitchfork had to say about one of my favourites. And after reading the review I was pretty disappointed. The excerpt i chose is the most flattering part of the review, and thats not saying a lot. While they are right in saying that alot of there songs are similar, i simply cant see how walking down that 'road' - the Cave singer road - could ever get old. Their songs flood you with images of sunny wheat fields, setting suns, warm summer nights and could inspire anyone to drive cross country playing only them (doesn't that just make you feel warm and cudly on the inside?). And for a song/band to do that on a consistent basis (some would say repetitive. I would have to disagree) is nothing short of perfection. Now before i get too sentimental about the whole thing, I would just like to say that i have written this to come to the defence of great band. Who have found a permanent place in my heart. 10/10

The Hood Internet

I've never been one for mashups (yeah i had a Girl talk phase and shit. so did everyone) BUT this duo by the name of "The Hood Internet" are sooo pitted. I thought they were fresh or something but apparently not because they have well over 100 'songs' and like 89 trillion mixtape albums. I've only really listened to the 4th and what ive heard so far is pitted as fuck, especially this MJ/Ratatat mashup, which stands alone with Hathbangers party and bullshit track as the two best mashups ever. EVER. But lets face it. Were all gonna hate these guys in like 5 months. NOBODY likes mashups for long, they get tired, annoying, and whatever the opposite of pitted is. On that note, check these songs out there buck.

Xx gon' give it to ya
