Comprehensive list of music that I currently enjoy. No Green Day.

It’s been a long time since we’ve updated the best source for music on the web, but fear not! I have a lot of time on my hands, so you’ll be getting some really bad musical recommendations unless Matt, Alex, or Sam decide to post again. In the mean time, here is some of my favorite new music:

1. Tokyo Police Club

Bambi

I like this band…That’s about it. They are nothing extremely unique or extremely mind blowing, but they put or some good music.

2. Sleigh Bells

Tell Em

Rill Rill

I didn’t really want to hop on this bandwagon because they are another Pitchfork band. Those DickBagels over at Pitchfork compare just about everything new lately to Sleigh Bells and explains how they fall short. I refused to listen to them until my cousin told me to check them out. He’s typically spot on with recommendations for me, and he hit it again. They are good. Best New Band? Fuck no. Go play with your tits and stare at your ass at the same time Pitchfork.

3. LCD Soundsytem

Dance Yrself Clean

If you haven’t picked up the latest LCD Soundsystem album, I suggest you do. It’s really damn good. The above song is probably my favorite off the album. It starts off slow with a nice build up until the song drops…Oh and don’t listen to the Kid Cudi remix. He fucking sucks and so does his remix.

4. Ratatat

http://hypem.com/track/1133310/Ratatat+-+Drugs

Nothing too new here from Ratatat, but that’s just the way I like it. They seems to have gone a little more percussion intensive on their latest LP which makes for a pretty big sounding album.

5. Blitzen Trapper

02 laughing lover

They are back with a new LP. Check out the above song. Feels good man.

6. Eminem

No Love

He’s back with a new LP and this one doesn’t suck. He even acknowledges that Relapse sucked. I give him credit for that, though I would have given him more if he didn’t release it. This track is sick. Weezy has a decent verse, but Em takes it. The whole album is amazing. Best I’ve heard from Em in a long long time.

7. The Black Keys

Everlasting Light

Next Girl

New LP. Best LP. They are back and imo, better than ever. The new album is fucking amazing! It was really hard for me to just pull a couple songs because they all are amazing. Do yourself a favor and steal this album, then spend some money to see them in concert.

8. The Dead Weather

Get their new album now! I won’t geek out too hard, but it’s Jack Mother Fuckin’ White!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNUUUUUUUUUUUUUS!

Mister Witham’s band. Listen to the song they have on their page. It’s fucking good.

A Couple of Fun Tracks for the New Year

MattFerrel — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 22:25:11 +0000

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.

Laidback Luke Lee Mortimer – Blau Original Mix by DJShortHand

Done With Tests…New Semester

MattFerrel — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 03:26:01 +0000

Torq Xponent all over ya

I’ve got some more time…and more music has come out that’s worthwhile, so that pretty much dictates my actions now. I have to start writing again. Maybe, “have” is the wrong word, but I would like to start writing again. I’ve been heavily focused on electronic music, be it house, trance, progressive house, electro, or anything. This does not mean I will abandon alternative music. I have a new Vampire Weekend album to review along with many others. Stay put. Oh and expect some mixes from me soon.

Brian’s Second Mash-Up – LisztoCream Paint Job

MattFerrel — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 02:06:34 +0000

Brian is getting better and better at this Ableton business. We’re about to be dangerous. Take a listen and enjoy the workings of DJ RHM.

Vampire Weekend’s Contra Buzz

MattFerrel — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 23:33:07 +0000

The anticipation for the new VW album has almost dragged on too long, starting with “Ottoman” being featured on Nick and Nora’s soundtrack and continuing with new songs being played an almost every concert. Now, new things are popping up over the web in a supposed attempt to virally market “Contra,” the new VW album.

This girl keeps on showing up all over the web, and no one knows who she is. Unless you visit http://www.ithinkuracontra.com/. It reveals a link to Vampire Weekend’s site and gives a track list and release date for the new album. It’s a 10 song LP that is going to be released January 12th, 2009.

With Internet Comes Posts

MattFerrel — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 19:34:08 +0000

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.

New From Wolfmother

BrianKaradsheh — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 19:26:22 +0000

The boys of Wolfmother are back with some new music. Well, I guess I should say the boy is back seeing as 2/3 of the Wolfmother we all knew and loved is gone. Left is Frontman/Axeman Andrew Stockdale. Andrew has recruited two more musicians to round out the new Wolfmother. I’ll spare you there credentials because they don’t really have any that are worthy. But lets be honest, what made Wolfmother Wolfmother was Andrew. He was the heart and soul of the music. It’s his voice and guitar work that made them unique, not some keyboardist and some drummer.

First up we have Back Around

Let me just say that something strikes me about this song. It’s damn good, but more than that it’s a little familiar sounding. That’s not to say that their previous music was the epitome of unique because it was anything but. However, something seems oddly similar to this song. I can only liken it to non other than Jack White. It’s not the whole song that reminds me of the White Stripes. Actually, it sounds nothing like the White Stripes. It’s just the little talking verse he has in there. That was taken straight from the book of the White Stripes. Non the less, the song fucking rocks.

Finally, we have New Moon Rising

If something struck me as familiar about the last song, then you need to listen to this one. That fucking vocal melody is a straight rip from something but I don’t know what exactly I’m thinking about. Maybe you guys can help me? Putting that aside, this song rocks. It’s better than Back Around in all respects. This song begs to be cranked.

Things that have my ear.

BrianKaradsheh — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 17:28:13 +0000

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.
