phoenix  //  trying to be cool + a-trak remix

 
As if the French band Phoenix needed any help, right? Anywho, the band has their song Trying To Be Cool retooled by the stylistically cool and musically prolific Canadian  A-Trak. There are also a couple of other laudable remixes of the TTBC track by Soul Clap and Breakbot. And if your in mood for the original un-besmirched version I got the video after the jump too. The latest Phoenix album is out now via Glassnote (U.S.) and Loyauté (Worldwide). Peace.

daughter // get lucky (daft punk cover)

The Daughter’s cover of Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky” is hands down my favorite rendition of this stellar song. But if this your introduction to the Daughter then you’re also lucky. Elena Tonra, Igor Haefeli & Remi Aguilella comprise the three member North London group and if you’ve taken a shine to bands like Florence and The Machine then Daughter will be a surefire fit. Daughter’s debut album release If You Leave is out now courtesy of 4AD and Glassnote Records. You can also get your copy on iTunes. Peace. Continue reading “daughter // get lucky (daft punk cover)”

daughter // landfill

Memorable songs stay with us long after we’ve heard them for the first time; embedding themselves into our very bones and ruining our ears against all other sounds. Such memorable music can be had the moment you click play, and listen to the band Daughter. You’ll quickly fall beneath the spell of Elena Tonra‘s voice. Listen to their tangible fabric of a song, “Landfill” and wrap this soft-hewn scrim about your living spaces and enjoy. Both The Wild Youth EP and the His Young Heart EP are available on iTunes. Peace. Continue reading “daughter // landfill”

childish gambino // eat your vegetables

childish gambino // eat your vegetables

All rappers are not created equal. It’s a fact worth knowing. Donald Glover bka Childish Gambino is poised to methodically carve out a special niche in the world of Rap and Hip Hop. It’s the geeky, nerdy and oh so proper Negro thing to do, it works for him. His is a new kind of brand new, and although the establishment seems unfit to market him his growing fan base will more than rise to the occasion and by word of mouth do his marketing for him.

On the track Eat Your Vegetables we hear CB waxing poetically about Trayvon, among other things, and it’s nice to see the facets of growth and maturity shine through. Be on the lookout for a forthcoming Mixtape Childish Gambino soon. And if the photo has you flummoxed, well it just may be the graphics to said soon to be released mixtape. Peace.

Childish Gambino // Heartbeat (Video)

I have listened to the entire Childish Gambino album Camp countless times, but this here song just stays inside my head and rattles around waiting for opportunities to sidetrack me with its irresistible house=tinged beat. And now there is a video, so now my eyes are going to be looking for ways to get me to watch it often. Do you have the same affliction? Lucky me. Peace.

Childish Gambino – Heartbeat (aRod Remix)

Sir Donald is riding high these days, and I suspect in more ways than one. With the release of his stunna’ LP Camp (which dropped Nov. 15th) there comes a smidgen of validation. Yes, self-proclaimed squares are not only cool; but this one can rap his ass off too. And not that it means anything, but Camp is currently resting at #2 on iTunes these days. What’s all the fuss about Childish Gambino you may ask? I’ll just let you rock out to “Heartbeat” superbly remixed by aRod.  “I’m going straight for your thighs like the cake you ate!” Stop it D. you’re killing ’em. Peace.
