5 Unlikely Collaborators

  1. The Hood Internet – Boss Tide (Meek Mill vs Beirut)
  2. BEATFACE – We Don’t Need To Pretend
  3. Small Black – Moon Killer
  4. Villa Rosa – Leader of the Pack
  5. Lana Del Rey – Video Games (BALAM ACAB Remix)

OMG! You might not have heard these songs yet! =p

The mix starts off with a high energy, leading off with the Marching Drum beat from Ima Boss. BEATFACE keeps it rolling & funky, while Small Black’s Moon Killer spaces out a little (as the title would suggest). After coming down from the trip, Villa Rosa reassures us with their feel-good, soul-sampling, Leader of the Pack. And at the end of our musical journey, Lana Del Ray sobers it up with a muted drone of a performance in Video Games.

Enjoy!

I Got Five On It: Altermodern

Here are some Alternativemodern songs that have piqued my interest lately:

The Smashing Pumpkins – Freak
Tame Impala – Runway, Houses, City, Clouds
Voxtrot – Kid Gloves
Hushpuppies – Pale blue eyes
Greg Laswell – Around The Bend

My homeboy telling me about the phrase “Altermodern” the other day. For all you artsy types, it’s basically “popomo”{{1}} [[1]]Post Post Modern[[1]]. Sounds kinda iffy, especially because of the “Alter” prefix. And why is “Alter” so lame? Listen dis:

I Got Five On It: Unease & Relief

Welcome to the end! (of 2010)

This month is always a tough one for me. Yeah, happy holidays and all, but I seem to have the worst luck in these thirty one days as well! But whatever man, come what may, I’ll keep on steppin. These tracks reflect some of those ambivalent feelings that stir in my mind and arouse my heart.

Fallulah – Use It For Good
Phene – The Illz
E-40 – Spend The Night
The Chemical Brothers – Dissolve (Bloody Beetroots Remix)
The Soft Moon – Tiny Spiders
Björk – Oceania (+1 Bonus)

I Got Five On It: Loungin’

My drink of choice to warm the bones

Along with the rainy season comes that bitter, crisp cold. What better way to warm up a winter evening that sitting beside the fire, stiff drink in hand, straight loungin’ with your friends? Here’s to the late arrival of winter:

He6 – Theme 1: Introduction Music
José González – Crosses
Jazzanova f/Vikter Duplaix – Wasted Time
Superpulse f/Jon Archambault – Sunday Morning Music
Jamiroquai – Spend A Lifetime

One of the things I missed most while living in Sunny San Diego was the rain: It just don’t happen there. And on those rare occasions that it did, the locals would freak out as if The End Times had arrived. {{1}} [[1]]WTF people, even the Beach Boys liked rain! [[1]]

Not only is rain refreshing, it plain sounds cool. And while much has been written on the pitter-patter of rain on the rooftop, my favorite rainsong is invariably tied to my highschool experience:

The rhythm of the wipers going back & forth.
The hum of an engine taking me far away from class & school.
The contemplative silence of some friends.
—And of course—
Some down tempo songs on the stereo.

Nor★Cal for life.

Bambu – 2 Dope Boyz Drop (produced by DJ Phatrick) {{2}} [[2]]Check out O-Dub’s assessment of the dope ass sample. [[2]]
Malcolm Mclaren – About Her
Comptons Most Wanted – Hood Took Me Under
Four Tops – Eleanor Rigby
Hideki Tobeta – Katamari★Stars {{3}} [[3]]aka 戸部田 英樹 – カタマリ★スターズ. [[3]]
