New Music Friday

Rob — Fri, 05 Nov 2010 16:54:31 +0000

I’ll continue to post this when I remember, but Katie made sure that I knew music isn’t really this blogs deal, so I should keep up with my non-music related posts and leave the tunes to my buddies over at mediocremusicblog.com. (Catch my ‘full’ review of the Phoenix/2DCC concert over there or at this link.)

Anyway, few good new tunes to spotlight this week, so here we are, with some new music, along with plenty of new, entertaining, non music related posts behind this one! Hopefully these tunes help you get weird this weekend, enjoy.

California Wives – Blood Red Youth

Cee Lo Green – Bright Lights Bigger City

Marina and the Diamonds – Shampain (Fred Falke Radio Mix)

Could end up being popular here, but I’m thinking it won’t, we’ll see. Big across the pond of course, but if it does catch on here you can say you knew about it “so long ago! lolz!”

Gypsy & The Cat – Piper’s Song

Originally heard the remix (posted after this song) which is awesome, but I actually dig the original version as well.

Gypsy & The Cat – Piper’s Song (Aeroplane Remix)

The Knocks – Dancing with the DJ

Few other tunes by these guys are solid, I would look them up if I were you.

New Music Friday

Hi. Here is some new music:

Keane – Stop for a Minute
Thanks to Andy for providing me with this one, easily my favorite song of the moment. Video is a little weird first time watching it, but for some reason the second time I threw it on I liked it a lot more. The song however, is awesome right from the first go.

Hoodie Allen – January Jones

More white people rapping! Huzzah!

The Wombats – Tokyo (Grum Remix)
The regular song is pretty good but I like the beat of this one better, make sure to skip ahead from the straight fist pumping start, the rest isn’t nearly as head pounding.

Bill Withers – Lovely Day

A little old school chill out funky time.

Friday Beats

Admittedly this section and my site as a whole has been suffering from a bit of neglect due to the fact I’ve recently only been home a few days a month. Anyway, here are some awesome new (and old) songs:

Milli Vanilli – Blame it on the Rain

It’s gross here today, and Wonn had this has her status message so I’m going to put it in here cause its obviously awesome (or I wouldn’t be putting up):

Wale – The Work

He is still killing it. That is all.

Magnetic Man ft. John Legend

“Supergroup” (copyright M5 2001) Magnetic Man teams up with John Legend to create a tune that tones down their usually fist pumping beat to something more palatable to people (like myself) who aren’t really into the house scene. Definitely closer to something you’d expect from John Legend than Magnetic Man.

Santana ft. Nas – Back in Black (AC/DC Cover)

Santana has a face melting guitar solo in here, never hear him on electric before I don’t think?

Rusko – Hold On

Probably too much techno for most, but if you are into that type of music its a great tune.

Kanye West – Good Friday

Because its Friday.

New Music Friday

Alright so New Music Friday has sometimes not been on Friday, and more often than not contained songs that aren’t exactly new. I’m writing this on a Thursday, I will probably publish it today as well, making it again, not Friday. BUT I do promise that the majority, or at least one, of these songs are actually pretty new. Enjoy the weekend, rock out, come hang out on the island we have booked for the weekend, whatever floats your proverbial boat.

The Limousines – Internet Killed The Video Star
Zombie themed movie thing is a little weird, but the song itself is pretty solid.

Justice – DANCE
Okay, yeah, this is really not new at all, in fact it is quite old, possibly years old. But I felt like putting it in here cause I heard it the other day and its funky. Deal. Plus the video is entertaining and far less strange as compared to the zombie one.

Shy Child – Disconnected

Shiny Toy Guns – Burning for You (Cover)

Kristoff Kane – Work
He has a bunch of solid tunes, look him up.

Friday Kind of New Music

Rob — Fri, 16 Jul 2010 14:20:03 +0000

Yeah again, haven’t been posting in a while so some of this is a little old but if you aren’t paying attention you might have missed some kick ass songs over the last few weeks. Enjoy.

Mark Ronson ft Q-Tip and MNDR

Nas and Damian Marley – Count Your Blessings

Mighty Mighty Bosstones (who? what?!) – Everybody’s Better

Magnetic Man – I Need Air

MIA and Jay-Z – XXXO … If you haven’t heard this already I guarantee it will be in bars soon and all over the place. It probably is already but since I haven’t been out in Boston in a month I’m behind the ball.

New Feature: Music, the Best

Rob — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 15:44:59 +0000

Since people are always asking me for good new music, I’ve decided to occasionally add a few songs here that are awesome. I don’t want to turn this into a music blog, or make any promises I’ll regularly (like weekly) add songs, but I’ll shoot for every Friday since that is when I usually comb the tubes for new hot beatz.

So without further ado, I bring you this Friday’s list of awesome, potentially not new but still great, tunes that you’ve probably never heard:

LCD Soundsystem & Franz Ferdinand – All My Friends – this version is way better than the non-Franz one

Grum – LA Lights

RL Burnside – Let My Baby Ride (let it go for a minute when it starts to rock)

Vampire Weekend – Everywhere (Fleetwood Mac cover) – probably best cover song ever, by anyone. no room for debate so don’t even bother.

Two Door Cinema Club – Something Good Can Work

Delorean – Stay Close

Lazee ft. Neverstore – Hold On – kind of old now, but great song, better video.
