yes i know but fuck you i've been bizzzzy however,
DUBSTEP note: the first time you hear these songs (well, the first three anyway), if you're not smiling and nodding your head, you're not listening to them loud enough and you have shitty headphones/speakers and you need more green in your life Emalkay - When I Look At You - i'm STILL listening to this song. yes i've put it here before, but if you haven't gotten it here it is. it's fucking insane, even Pitchfork put it in their "best new songs", like that's how big this track is! serious it blows minds.
Trolly Snatcha - The Future - ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE. trust me this song blows minds fool. if you like the dubstep i've been posting this song will blow your face off, it's puure filth! repetitive, yeah, but if you care you're not listening to it loud enough. or if you're not smiling and nodding your head the first time you hear this, you're also not listening to it loud enough.
Eddie K - Who's the Hardest - oh man this one's nuts, the bass just doesn't even stop. one of those songs kind of like the cockney thug caspa remix where the bass just rolls? yeah it's like that where it just keeps coming haha, there are no breaks! huge fan, very heavy.
The Others - Bazooka - prettty sick basslines in here. a bit repetitive, but still made it here didn't it? the first time i head this song i had to have it. now you do, enjoy fool!
Noah D - Seeeriousss - sseeeeerrriousss?!?!?!?!?! this one has that blaaring bass with a sick lead synth sounding thing on top. turn it up! this one's sick to just listen to.
Jakes - No Respect - this one's last cause it's okay. honestly, i just really like that punchy bass drop that actually sounds like a trunk rumbling, so it feels like it's really loud no matter how loud you listen to it. anyways yeah this is dubstep.
when i've been around some people lately i've played these songs, so these are the ones i've been telling you i'll put up, sorry for taking 34 years.
xiu xiu's newest album! comes out soon i think, so this is an advance fool! i'm in love with the song "The Fabrizio Palumbo Retaliation" it's been getting heaps of plays by me as of around 4 days ago. honestly, it's an okay album. typical xiu xiu sounding, but the song i recommended is more subtle i suppose. anyways, here's the unreleased xiu xiu! enjoy.
album leaf's new album. honestly, it's alright. i fucking hate it when this dude sings. jimmy. god dammit jimmy. anyway, it's got some wicked tracks on here though, and it's 320, so i rule and you can't go wrong. here you goooooooooooooooooo00oo0o0o.
Hot cChip's newest! not bad at all. i suppose it's a downward slope for all bands, but this isn't a bad cd, you know? i mean it's pretty good. my favorite track would have to be either "alley cats" or "keep quiet". anyways, here it is, enjoy!
SO! i hope you enjoy this post. it's pretty intense in terms of new music...you know. i guess this is a preview of 2010's music! we can keeeeep hoping for wicked stuff.
sorry for the lack of posting, but i just got a shit ton of new stuff, so i'm hoping to post more soon!
so recently i found the best single existant in my entire music library. I KNOW RIGHT!? no seriously it's amazing, i love it, i love it, you will too. it's xiu xiu and parenthical girls' split cover of smiths songs, and it happens to be one of my favorite smiths songs too. the covers they did are amazing, as one would expect. they kept the lyrics and the general melody of the songs but xiu xiu'd and parenthical girls'd them. they almost have an eeeeerie sound. it's a really interesting and incredible listen, cause i haven't heard anything like this really. the two songs i'll post are actually an split single released by xiu xiu and parenthical girls, and the mp3's are 320, cause i rule.
anyways, in this post i will review both tracks, as they are just that good.
This xiu xiu song in particular makes it to the top 3 of my favorite tracks by them. it maintains the xiu xiu style while covering a particularly shitty song by morrissey. while starting off slowly with a fade in rounded kick, it gains intensity with the usual xiu xiu noise, however further in the song the most incredible bloops and beeps start sounding, and it's just toooooo wicked. of course soaked in distortion, the bleeps really really add to the otherwise fairly typical xiu xiu sounding tune. sometimes adding reverb and more or less distortion also changes up these beeps, so it's just a really refreshing thing to hear. together with the stabs of horns, this song is somewhat unique in terms of a cover. the vocals are also fairly awesome, adding the xiu xiu misery to morrissey's confident tone. in conclusion, when keeping in mind this is a morrissey song, which would mean it would have nothing out of the ordinary in it at all, i think xiu xiu really did well here in terms of providing an interesting cover, which in my opinion, is better than the original.
Oh my god this song blew my mind. This parenthical girls cover is getting an insane amount of plays by me recently. it starts off with piano notes, eventually working into the handsome devil guitar riffs, but ever so off tune as if it was in some sort of horror movie. almost sounds as if it were by the misfits or some other band we all listened to in grade 10. when the drums come in they make the song more up beat and dance-able, really. really. although different from the original drumming, it's still pretty wicked. the vocals are also very well done. i've always loved this dude's voice, and he really does the trembello of morrissey's well. anyway further in the song there's some feedback and what not to add to that eerie effect i mentioned, and then when it gets to the part where it says "i said, i said, i i said" all these awkward horns coming in drowning out anything else, really, which i find fucking coooool. it happens again a few times but the song maintains the same patterns till some slow part, which, i'm not really that big of a fan of. it's alright i guess, got some cool 80's sounding snare in there, but whatever. the BEST part of this song is after he says "i'm going to get you......(piano noise)....you handsome devil"after that slow part, the normal ending comes in, but with these amaaazing creepy strings added! it's absolutely incredible in my opinion. they just add that last touch to make the song amazing. then those crazy intense horns attack you again, and then it's fairly serene till the end but with some synth in the background this time, not bad. necessary though, because if you had the cool horror strings during the ending with great lyrics like "there's more to life than books you know, but not much more" i think it would just make that one section less significant, seeing as how it's right after that slow part. it ends with that off tune guitar again, and i'm satisfied. (note: i'm not reading this over, fuck that,so if it doesnt make sense, that's okay)
so this explains the lack of posts, i apologize. tonight i just felt like hanging though, and i thought i'd make this thing look a lot better, and i think it was a successful mission. tell me what you think though! email me or facebook me in that little contact window on the left there, or leave a comment please! tell me if you like the new loooks ;) haha
on that note, i don't have all that much music for today, but the shit i do have is nuts!
this two song single is nuts. the song swagga blows minds. blows minds fool! just trust! 320kps too, because only the best for my family.
ALSO. alright so i downloaded this skream mix, right? and it's fucking nuts! i originally got it cause it had the new noah d tracks, which by the way start at around 53 minutes. yes this is a long ass mix. it's 2 hours long. you don't have to get it if you want, but you can just delete it afterwards, and the two songs around 53 minutes in are totally, totally worth it. theres some other good ones too, just hunt around that shit! you can't find these songs anywhere. i don't even think they're released, but i'll keep hunting!
Alright, so, this last song has been getting masssive amounts of plays on my ipod lately. it's in that skream mix around 1:17 which is where i heard it, so i found it for you cats. 320 again, cause i rule and you're great. it's got a nuts drop with just a wicked harmonious baseline, just listen foo!
it's out! the new sound of stereo ep came out yesterday, and now it is availible 4 u here. massssive tunes in there! get on that shit! velcro has some fucking wickedddd synth noises going on, huge fan. The EP is actually pretty impressive. 3 songs, but whatever, you know?! definitely worth the download, for sure dudes. ps. listen to buttons fucked up! just do it mutha fucka
also one of the dudes has 1977 tattoo'd on his chest, so, there are some fun facts.
this sounds pretty massive, but i'd have to hear it all. it's just like 1.9 but with some more sst sst hi-hat sounds killing it! and some vocals but, i like it without.
it's to be released on their "Christmas Vendetta - Spares of Romborama"
so recently i stumbled upon this really marvellous little song. that's the only word i can use to describe it, i think. You know those dope parts of song where everyone is singing? well...actually just listen, foo. I even did a little embed thing so you can listen below! because i love you.
