More specifically, read my blog more. I’ll give you the music that you’ll hear in the club or in the most artsy indie loft in NYC haha. First, I’ve been listening to The Hood Internet for about 2 years and this is one of my favorite songs. They have the ability to mix the grimiest rap with soft, shoe-gazing indie back beats, which is no small feat. They’ll be in the MI soon (Jan 22?) so get your tix through Ticketmaster and enjoy. Go to the hood internet site to download this and all their tracks for free.

Passion Pit vs. Juvenile – Hood Internet by DJShortHand

I love Laidback Luke and had no idea there was this new movement called indie dance, but I have been corrected. I can’t give you the download link for this track, because that would be illegal, but i can suggest that you google “blau zippy” and you will find it.

One of these things I excel at, and that would be the “fun” section. It took my house around two weeks to get on the same page with Comcast, but now we’re in the current century with wireless. This has also taken away from my new music listening. I’ve tried to gain ground though by not sleeping.

Some of the new highlights:

  • DeadMau5 – For Lack of a Better Name:

    • The Toronto Native is back from Random Album Title with a compilation of new works as well as retooled classics.  For those who love progressive house, check out “Strobe”

  • Jay Z – Blueprint 3:

    • The “best rapper retired” has released another great album.  I think it’s every rappers dream to be on a Jay Z album, and this has a great list of featured artists.  My favorite song on it is “Empire State of Mind” just because it makes me love the Big Apple more than I already do.

  • Kaskade – Strobelite Seduction:

    • This isn’t really a new album, but just something I’ve been meaning to write about for some time.  At my house in East Lansing, we pretty much have Deadmau5 and Kaskade on repeat.  Kaskade is more of a daytime relaxing house music, and there are very few things I’d rather listen to in a hammock.

  • Calvin Harris – Ready for the Weekend:

    • I envy Calvin Harris so much.  He’s 23 and does anything he wants.  His new album is getting further away from his bizarre, quirky electro of “I Created Disco.”  He started with a House single “I’m Not Alone” and it continued on his album.  The best songs are:


I have a lot to catch up on, but listen to those and have fun.

Dizzee

To steal from Dizzee, this song is “Bonkers.”  It fucking sucks.  There is nothing even slightly redeeming about it.  It’s your typical built for radio/club song.  Now there are times where I can find those songs good, because they might be super cathcy (See Little Boots), but this song is just straight bad…It’s really quite sad.  Dizzee Rascal was the shit.  I listened to him all the time in highschool from 10th grade on.  True Grime.  Now he has started collaborating with the likes of Calvin Harris and that’s all well and good, but as soon as you take Calvin out of the equation, you’re left with shite.

I love them.  Almost without exception.  Each song is so great and it perfectly mixes my love for hip-hop with indie music.

Selfish, I know. Enjoy, and laugh at when Kanye says the word “chance.” He’s not british.
