A Couple of Fun Tracks for the New Year

New year, and your resolution should be to read more. 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.

With Internet Comes Posts

Coming back to school brings both fun and responsibility. 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.

Things that have my ear.

Back again.  I have a lot of time on my hands now that I’m back at school and only have two days of class.  Here are some things to check out:

Let me just preface this first post by saying that a lot of you wont like this but it’s catchy as fuck.  She’s like the UK’s Lady Gaga but I think she actually has lady parts.

KiD CuDi with MGMT and Ratatat? Yes Pls
http://hypem.com/track/900086/KiD+CuDi+ft+MGMT+Ratatat+-+Pursuit+of+Happiness

My fav track of Hova’s new album

New Muse. It’s pretty Musey but very not at the same time. I really like this track. I think it’s my favorite off the new LP so far.
http://hypem.com/track/900676/Muse+-+Undisclosed+Desires

Cool Band
http://hypem.com/track/899555/The+XX+-+VCR

Complements of Kurt Weider

For those of you who like a little heavier/lo-fi music.

This song is in no way new but it has had my ear again recently

That’s all for now. If you guys see Matt Ferrel, remind him that this is his blog and that he should probably post at least once a month.

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

Eminem vs. Mariah Carey

Eminem straight dominates Mariah Carey in his new diss track. Apparently Mariah is denying they ever dated or some shit and she dissed him in her video by dressing like him or something…

Here are the lyrics to Slims song:
Only reason I dissed you in the first place is because you denied seeing me
Now I’m pissed off
Sit back and relax homey, kick back and relax, grab a six pack while I kick facts
Yeah Dre’s sick track, perfect way to get back
Wanna hear something wick wack?
I got the exact same tat that’s on Nick’s back
I’m obsessed now
Oh gee, is that supposed to be me in the video with the goatee
Wow Mariah, I didn’t expect her to go balls out
Bitch, shut the fuck up before I put all them phone calls out you made to my house when you was wild n out before Nick
When you was on my dick and give you somethin to smile about
How many times you fly to my house? Still trying to count
Better shut your lying mouth if you don’t want Nick finding out
You probably think cuz it’s been so long if i had something on you I woulda did it by now
On the contrary, Mary Poppins, I’m mixing our studio session down and sending it to mastering to make it loud
Enough dirt on you to murder you
This is what the fuck I do
Mariah, it ever occur to you that I still have pictures?
However you prefer to do and goes for you too, Nick, faggot
You think I’m scared of you?
You gonna ruin my career you better get one
Like I’ma sit and fight with you over some slut bitch cunt who made me put up with her psycho ass over 6 months and only spread her legs to let me hit once
Yeah, what you gonna say? I’m lucky? Tell the public that I was so ugly that you fucking had to be drunk to fuck me?
Second base? What the fuck you tell Nick, punk?
In the second week we was dry humping. It’s gotta count for something.
Listen, girly. Surely you don’t want me to talk about how I nutted early cos ejaculated early and bus all over your belly, and you almost started hurling and said I was gross, go get a towel you’re stomachs curling. Or maybe you do.
But if I’m embarrassing me, I’m embarrassing you and don’t you dare say it isn’t true.
As long as the song’s getting airplay I’m dissing you.
I’m a hair away from getting carried away and getting sued.
I was gonna stop at 16. This is 32. This is 34 bars. We ain’t even a third of the way through.
Damn, Slim. Mariah played you. Mariah who?
Oh did I say ”whore”, Nick? I meant a liar too.
Like I’ve been goin off on you all this time for no reason.
Girl you out ya alcholic mind. Check ya wine cellar. Look at all the amounts of wine.
Like I sit around and think about you all the time.
I just think this is funny when I pounce you on a rhyme.
But it now i’m about to draw the line.
And for you to cross it that’s a mountain that I doubt you wanna climb.

I can describe areas of your house that you wouldn’t find on an episode of Cribs
A blubba load ribs if I hear another word so don’t go opening your jibs cos every time you do it’s just another load of fibs
I ain’t saying this shit again, ho. You know what it is.
It’s a warning shot for before I blow up ya whole spot
Call my bluff and I’ll release every fucking thing I got
Including the voicemails right before you flipped your top
When me and Luis were tryin’ to stick two CD’s in the same spot
(Slim Shady I love you)
I love you too
Let me whisper sweet nothings into your ear, boo. Now what you say?
(It’s nothing)
Guess what I’ll do?
I’ll refresh your memory when you said ”I want you”
Now should I keep going or should we call truce?
(You think you’re cute, right? Hahaha)
You bet your sweet ass I do
(I’m Mary Poppins, b)
And I’m Superman, mmm
(Mary P. Slim Shady)
Comin’ at you
So if you’ll still be my (babygirl)
Then I’ll still be your (Superhero, Wilma M.)
Yeah, I’m right here
(You like this)
Nope. Not anymore, Dear.
It cuts like a (knife) when I tell ya get a (life)
But I’m movin on with mine
Nick, is that your (wife)
Well tell her to shut her mouth then I’ll leave her alone
If she don’t (sing this script?) then I’ma just keep goin
(I see Mary Ann. Mary Ann’s saying ”cut the tape, cut the tape”. Knife!)

I would post a link to the song, but I’m at work where it’s blocked. The music isn’t what’s important…It’s the lyrics that matter…It’s hilarious!

Let the Battle Begin!

P.S.
I hope she keeps talking shit because I wouldn’t mind Slim leaking the pictures he purportedly has…
