Weekend of 07-06-12

Posted by on July 6, 2012  

They have a few bars like this in Portland – you should see Sangillo’s late night. Renewed love for air conditioning this week – haters gonna hate.
• Viceroy – Chase Us Around – I know I give this guy a lot of props but when you make music like this, it’s hard not to. Here’s his latest single – about as feelgoodsummershit you can get.
• MIA feat. Missy Elliot & Rye Rye – Bad Girls (Switch Remix) -Yes this is awesome. What a lineup – Rye Rye opened for a Santigold show I show a while back and she was like mixing methamphetamines with raw sex appeal. It was intense. This jam kind of reminds me of a female version of Lil Wayne.
• Noosa – Walk On By -This ambient jam came on of blog stream this past week on a lazy, hot summer night. Smooth listening with a touch of somberness to make sure you’re not TOO optimistic about life (high five emo).
• Germany Germany – Real Hero (College/Electric Youth Cover) – A sweet cover of that song from the Drive soundtrack that everyone seems to love and somehow I hate. Weird.
• Patsy Cline – She’s Got You – Heard this one on my Summer Sunday Songza session and almost had to sit down. The same thing happened when I heard Otis Redding’s "This Heart of Mine." Hard to explain what’s going on with songs like this, but I like it. In a world where time is seemingly the most precious commodity we all have, this song melts it away effortlessly.

Weekend of 12-16-11

I laughed for about 10 minutes after watching this 5 times in a row. What a genius. Perfect. No offense ladies, obviously, but this is unreal. Let me know when someone makes one about guys. Huge weekend coming up! On the 3rd day of Christmas, my true love gave to me a fat stack of hot jams and a case of champage. See ya never.
• Lloyd – Dedication to My Ex (feat. Andre 3000)- I heard this on the radio yesterday. Oh my god. Absolute rocket fuel for anyone who likes to dance. Seriously one of the best party songs of 2011 – maybe ever. Please download this – your weekend will be revolutionized.
• M.I.A – Spaces – I pulled this one from the Entourage Season 7 episode where Vince jumps out of a plane. Totally sick jam. M.I.A has been a little m.i.a. lately, glad to bring her back in the mix.
• Gang Starr & Inspectah Deck – Above the Clouds – I have a soft spot for Gang Starr and love this one for a slow cruise around the West End being super thug life at Aurora Provisions. Get real. Wu-Tang coming to the State theater next week – who’s going?
• The Lions – Girl From North Country – This was introduced to me by a girl from the north country and it’s incredible. Raw rock cover of one of my favorite bluegrass classics. No coincidence that my favorite animal is a lion. This song slays, definitely test your speakers with it.
• Whitney Houston – How Will I Know (Van Hooft & Forever Kid Remix) – I mean, how can you really go wrong with a sweet techno remix of Whiney’s epic 90′s hit? Put it on repeat and do something that makes you happy – like Occupy The Bar.
