Well what do we have here at midnight?
A new Dirty Projectors song, off their upcoming album “Swing Lo Magellan!”
It definitely doesn’t have the same vibe as their previous track “Gun Has No Trigger” but it’s definitely Projectorsesque, which makes sense (which also means its good)! Enough of my incoherent rambling, I’m pretty tired. Listen to it below via Youtube.
Have a great day!
FANTASTIC.
Well folks, here it is. The newest album from Fiona Apple. After getting hooked on Apple’s amazing voice and songs after hearing the song “Criminal” I had to get more. I collected all I could, then realized she halted her public musical production in 2005 after “Extraordinary Machine.”
But now, after seven years of painful waiting, it’s finally here. Stream Apple’s newest album “The Idler Wheel…” on NPR HERE
Have a fantastic day!
These two tracks have been buzzing in my head for the past two days, so I decided to drop everything and post them here, in an attempt to share the bliss that these two songs create in your temporal lobes. Seriously. These songs are great, plus they’re both free downloads! Get on that, folks!

Hey y’all,
This right here, is one of my favorite things of the year. It’s so good, that my last sentence rhymed. What’s good about this video here? Well, for starters the song is incredible: one of my favorite songs of the year along with one of the most motivating songs on my exercise playlist.
Another plus is that it’s modeled off of the movie “Drive,” among many other old-school convenience store robbery action movies. It also has zombie strippers, a sweet car chase, Reagan masks, El-P, and Killer Mike being awesome as ever. The cinematography is wonderful, every detail of the video is well-crafted, and it’s cool as hell. Definitely give this one a watch. It’s NSFW by the way, so watch out for that.
Have a beast day?
Well, I mean, have a good day. Yeah.
Today is a great day!
First a new Grizzly Bear song, which you can listen to here and now a new Fiona Apple song! The song features a strong piano line with an equally strong Fiona Apple, amidst clattering, kitchen-inspired percussion. With this song, Werewolf and Every Single Night Apple’s upcoming album The Idler Wheel is Wiser Than the Driver of the Screw and Whipping Cords Will Serve You More than Ropes Will Ever Do is looking like it’s going to be one of my favorite releases of the year. Listen to “Anything We Want” below.
Have a wonderful day!
Well kids,
Grizzly Bear has put out a new song called “Sleeping Ute” from their upcoming, untitled album. The most striking thing about this song is the guitar, the way it unabashedly cuts through a forest of percussion and other noises floating into the atmosphere. It’s a triumphant return to a much beloved band. I can see why Ed Droste, one of the members of the band also probably the most vocal on Twitter, is so excited about it. Listen to it below, also check out their tour dates!

Possibly my favorite beatsmith of all time, Clams Casino, has released the second installment of his instrumental mixtape series, featuring many instrumentals of the great songs off of LIVELOVEA$AP like “Palace,” “Bass” and “Wassup.” My favorite cut off of this mixtape would definitely be the instrumental remix of the XV song “Swervin’.” It’s free to download, so I highly recommend getting on that. Also if you don’t know Clams Casino, a great track to introduce himself to you, “I’m God” is below, which is also featured on this mixtape.

Have a dope day!
As the year approaches it’s halfway point, I think it would be beneficial to create a list showcasing some of my favorite albums that have come out over the past 5~ months for those music listeners who didn’t really pay much attention this past half year or just didn’t have the time to listen to all of it. With each album on this list there will also be a slip-shod description of the album, along with a favorite song off of the album, telling YOU why you should be listening to it. This list is in alphabetical order, so if you don’t know the alphabet, this will probably help you a bit too.
Hello all!
We finally have a legitimate sample of one of Elite Gymnastics’ new song, “Life/Trap” besides the one you did/did not listen to when you called the 1-800 number they posted (that number, again, is 1-800-940-5788. I highly recommend calling it just for the experience).
This song was recorded during the RUIN 1&2 sessions, so that gives you an idea on what this track sounds like. The traditional addition of a breakbeat is there, along with the heavily affected vocals and an aura of virtual reality floating around the whole thing like a cloud of techno dust, whatever that is. It’s available for free download below, make sure to check it out!
Have a great day!
Here we have a new track from the radical band Fang Island, whose debut full length blew me away in 2010. They have their second album, entitled Major, coming out on July 24, but they’ve released a new song from the album called “Asunder” which fits nicely into the Fang Island catalog with ambiance of excellence(seriously) and featuring a deluge of shredding. Listening to this track, or any Fang Island for that matter, makes me want to grow rocket-powered legs and fly off into space, shooting lasers from my eyes whilst high-fiving the planets.
That’s pretty cool.

Have a nice day!
