Snag This: Five Tracks from MC Frontalot

Its been too long, dearies. So I bring some MC Frontalot, nerdcore rhymer. He has amazing beats and really unique lyrical content. The best part about Front is he posts his music on his site for free download.

Grab These: tracks from Gotan Project

Queremos Pas by Gotan Project
Santa Marian (Del Buen Ayre) by Gotan Project
Una Musica Brutal by Gotan Project
El Capitalismo Foraneo by Gotan Project

I honestly can't describe the Gotan Project other than slick. Perhaps a more chilled out and accessible Massive Attack. But with Latin roots maybe. Their music is often used on Nip/Tuck. These tracks are from La Revancha del Tango.

Back now.

I ain't dead, motherfuckers.

Ok. So I really really like mash ups. More than one should, probably. Mashuptown.com is where I have culled most of my collection.

Today's sampling. Q Unit. Queen plus 50 Cent equals crazy awesome. I hate 50. But this is just too good. It scares me a little. I wish I could tell you who mixed this.

Ten Tracks by the Clash

The album that changed me the most is the US version of the Clash's debut. In terms of punk, most people are quick to talk about just how amazing the Sex Pistols were and how much Never Mind the Bollocks....is an important record. While I agree it is a significant album, to me the Sex Pistols were more about aesthetics while the Clash's career, which has many albums and not one, has more weight. The Clash encompass an experimentation in music. It was just punk, but it was ska, reggae and dub too. I think I am more content with the Clash because their is a whole lot more to their catalog. The Pistols had their moment. And in some ways, they were more of a cultural phenom then technical musicians. The Sex Pistols live in the myth of Sid and Nancy. And the Clash is a reflection of the times in England. The racism, the lack of jobs, the living in run down houses. The Clash will always be the most important band to me. I may love Depeche Mode more in different ways, but I never forget how the Clash altered my being.

You should watch the Clash documentary Westway to the World. I think you might like it.

Hourglass





I should have posted these a week or two ago. Now that I have fully processed Dave Gahan's Hourglass; I am in love with it. Here are my three picks, the more upbeat songs.



The single of the disc, Kingdom.





True story, Dave recorded this album in New York City and on this track, you can hear a cop car go off for like half a second. He decided to leave it in the song. I kinda like it in there. It fits. And this is an amazing song.

Endless



Sexy, sexy, sexy. That is all.

Deeper and Deeper

Depeche Mode should name an album "Songs About Bondage and Domination."

12.02.2007

I Just Wanna Celebrate

Tuesday marks the day for both the new Wu Tang album. Which leaked and I somehow never got a copy of. And Tuesday is the release for Ghostface Killah's new album, The Big Doe Rehab. So, I give you;







Celebrate by Ghostface



Also, Superbad comes out on DVD Tuesday. Grab the soundtrack too. It's amazing.

11.04.2007

Selections from Blackout.

You know, it really doesn't suck that much. I think it's strong because all Britney had to do was show up because it was all assembled for her. She just kinda had to put her stamp in it. This music just my live in strip clubs forever.

This is awesome music from when I am working on my fitness.



Get Naked (I Got a Plan)

Ooh Ooh Baby

Toy Soldier

Freakshow

10.28.2007

I still love the 90s.

OMFG. Aqua is reuniting. And so is Ace of Base. This is like the best day ever! I got to relive the 90s with the Tyra clip of Topanga and my fave N Sync'er and now poster gay, Lance. And the Spice Girls kick off their tour again soon.



I feel like I should be kissing pictures of Ryder Strong while wearing watermelon Lip Smackers.



Fuck you college! Even if i did bomb a test Monday and probably another one today and I am thinking of leaving after this quarter! Woooo. Life is awesome.

Barbie Girl by Aqua

A Beautiful Life by Ace of Base

She Wants Revenge; This Is Forever

I am absolutely in love with the new She Wants Revenge album. So I am going to keep this short. Just grab the tracks.







True Romance

Written in Blood

She Will Always Be a Broken Girl

10.21.2007

A slight departure;

Yes, I know I am dropping the ball. I should get some new music in soon.

Ghostface has a new track leaked which I am loving. I picked up the new She Wants Revenge album but I haven't had a chance to listen to it properly.

But, we shall be back on track soon.

No idea who even reads this or snags the music.

10.17.2007

Diggable,

I have been listening to this song a lot lately after someone rebrought it to my attention. It got lost in my shuffle of usuals. But, it's a delight.



Useless by Depeche Mode.

10.07.2007

Let's Listen to; the Sugababes

I freaking love these British broads. It's delightful eye candy, in the vein of Girls Aloud. And I prefer their cover of I Bet You Look Good on the Dance Floor over the original Arctic Monkeys version. So enjoy;

I Bet You Look Good on the Dance Floor. Covered by the Sugababes.

Hole in the Head

Easy

The HZA is not dead; Depeche Mode edition

I have been a bit under the weather. And thus gotten behind in my music posting. School started back up and now I am totally sick. I am putting off my homework and I can't pay attention to my Af Am reading.

So, I give you Depeche Mode. I have a deep, deep love for Depeche Mode. I think they are the one band I am truly in love with. Dave Gahan is a fox. And I would do a thousand horrible things if it meant I could see them perform live. It was a tough call making a list of ten tracks. So I may put more up later on. But for now, for now, this is excellent.

Suffer Well Hopeful, even in pain.

Dream Most everyone has heard this song before. It's wonderfully smoky and sexy.

Personal Jesus "feeling unknown/and you're all alone/flesh and bone/by the telephone/lift up the receiver/I'll make you a believer" I will absolve you.

The World in My Eyes Aren't you going to show me?

Enjoy the Silence One of my favorite videos on YouTube is DM performing this for a huge crowd in Spain, I think, and everyone is just drowning out Dave's singing.

Leave in Silence Classic DM.

Blasphemous Rumors Yes, god does have a sick sense of humor.

John the RevelatorTheir take on a gospel song. Much better.

A Pain That I Am Used To One of my very, very favorites.

Lilian Perhaps it's good I am a Heather and not a Lilian.

9.22.2007

Late Night; She Wants Revenge

I adore She Wants Revenge. I am enamored. I think they are a wonderfully sexy duo who's music can make any dame feel vampish. But I think fellas can dig them as well.

The lyrics are racy, and the music itself it's artistic synth that is flat but still emotive. Plus the cover of their self titled debut is smokin'.



The back cover is nifty too. Except the fact the John Tucker Must Die poster rips it off.

What is crazy is the bad got Joaquin Phoenix to direct their first video for the song, Tear You Apart.




And their second video for These Things features the ever foxy Shirley Manson as a dominatrix;



I will admit I would rather listen to the band than look at them. But whatever. They have a new album due in October. With another equally hot cover art model.

Here are two picks of their debut;

I Don't Wanna Fall In Love
Black Liner Run

9.20.2007

The Newest of Wu Tang Clan.

A return to good form. I am a bit late on the posting of this. But enjoy it.

Watch Your Mouth by the Wu Tang Clan.

Three Picks off Kanye's Graduation

I have posted Stronger before. Which is really fucking good. And I have picked three other songs off Graduation that aren't the singles. {which rules out; Can't Tell Me Nothing, The Good Life and Stronger}.

Drunk and Hot Girls featuring Mos Def Seriously, Mos Def is great, always.

Flash Lights featuring Dwele I read in some article what song is being sampled here. But I forgot. But my point is this song is fucking great.

Homecoming featuring Chris Martin I originally cringed at the thought of Chris Martin, of Coldplay, collabing with Kanye. But it work. For reals.
