I really like this. Completely, totally, overtly sexual; so, maybe not for your mom. As a rule of thumb, when Girl Talk says go, go.

Spank Rock - YoYoYoYoYoYo

Also! Fresh concert news! Hot Chip @ The Fillmore 6/12!

HT

rap

prodigy - return of the mac

prodigy - return of the mac bonus tracks

(sorry to be bare bones... its AP week)

this could be you

Hot Chip - DJ Kicks

the bad plus

Bloggers tend to hate on The Bad Plus. They come on strong with this whole "they are only popular because they look like their fans" deal.

I dunno. I like them, hella. Judge (or don't judge) for yourself.

These Are The Vistas (start here)


Give



(I didn't like Suspicious Activity so I didn't put it up.)

Prog (released today!)

the bad plus will be at Yoshi's in Oakland from May 10-13.

oh also.

The 2 song Yeasayer demo has been playing nonstop on my computer. They slay it. Trust me, scroll down, grab it.

LA

Since I'm off to Westwood next year I gotta start showing some LA pride.

This is why I'm hot

MANDATORY DOWNLOADS FOR APRIL 18th

Yeasayer - Demo

"ghettotech/rock"

Talking Heads - Stop Making Sense
RISD's finest



ALSO: GIRL TALK COMETH

I like to rock, rock.

I realized that two Hot Chip albums were way better than one. It is also my belief that "The Beach Party" is one of the best hookup songs out there. So yea, I have rationalized this post.

Hot Chip - "Coming On Strong"

I am packing and I feel like doing lots of posts tonight. ht

(hot chip will break your legs)

total fave:

Hot Chip - The Warning

from the message board where I got the album art

guy: does anyone else think the cover art is overtly sexual
other guy: you need a girl, dude

its been a while; but, its also been a nuts last three weeks, if that's any solace.

ht.

back

So, someone asked for the new B.I.G. album. I looked at the track list, and honestly, there isn't anything on "Greatest Hits" that you'd want that isn't on the two albums he released around the time he was alive.

The Notorious B.I.G. - "Ready To Die" (1994)

The Notorious B.I.G. - "Life After Death" (2CDs) (1997)

If you already have those, "Blue Eyes Meets Bed Stuy," is a good, extravagant, mashup of Frank Sinatra and Frank Wallace. Most of the tracks are actually right on--its equally savage and cringeworthy to hear Biggie over twinkling piano. What can I say, I like it.

screw cochella

The sad truth is that none of us are going to Cochella. Yes, I know, it was fun to talk about for a little, but it just isn't happening. The San Francisco ≠ Indio part of the equation and the $700 trip total just didn't work out.

GOOD NEWS. Rock The Bells (SF, Aug. 18) is going to kill it.

Peep this lineup

It's not clear who is playing where outside of NY; but yea, DOOM, Murs, The Roots, Ghost + Wu Tang, etc.
