Weekend of 05-06-11

Posted by on May 6, 2011  

Ah, golden retrievers on a Friday…doesn’t get much better. Back to reality from a weekend in LA. Nothing like cold, rainy 50 degrees to make you feel like you’re living the dream. Is it so much to ask for sunshine, beautiful people, fun, and the beach? Come on.
• YACHT – Psychic City (Classixx Remix)- Absolutely awesome jam – this song was on repeat pretty much the entire time last weekend. Big shout out to the Canright sisters!
• Neon Hitch – Silly Girl (Brent Duvall Remix) - Explosive remix that powers a beat drop for the ages. Doesn’t hurt to sample "No Sleep" by Wiz Khalifa in there.
• Tyga feat. Adele – Reminded – Smooth Adele with a hip hop up and comer. Perfect for throwing down at a club that’s behind an industrial kitchen in West Hollywood….
• Mochi Beats – Friends Till The End- The un-official Girl Talk mashup king delivers the latest 2011 jam.
• Aloe Blacc – 99 Problems - Soulful and timeless sounding Aloe Blacc finally has a dollar…and no bitch.

Weekend of 04-29-11

Posted by on April 29, 2011  

Stumbled across this video earlier this week and was blown away. This guy gets it done – also has a nice cover of Ridin’ Solo on the cello which is enough to get a high five in my book. Heading out to Hollywood this weekend. Good lord.
• It’s The Dean’s List – Dear Professor – Another awesome hip hop break out, little bit of Wiz Khalifa, little bit of Chiddy Bang.
• Edwin Van Cleef – Lisztmomania - A cover of the Phoenix smash that rips.
• The Temper Trap – Love Lost (Keljet Remix) – Ah, a smooth remix of one of my favorite Temper Trap jams.
• Wood Brothers – Luckiest Man – A great song and a great band, keep this on your mix for fire side cocktails and good friends.
• Loudon Wainwright III – The Swimming Song - Simple, banjo, and absolutely beaming with good times. A summer staple, see you at the beach.

Weekend of 04-22-11

The Mountain from Terje Sorgjerd on Vimeo.
This video is spectacular and will hopefully get you in full force for some outdoor activity this weekend. It is filmed in Spain at El Tiede, the highest mountain in the country, over the course of 7 days. An amazing taste of the Milky Way, although I personally prefer Snickers.
• XV – That’s Just Me – If you like Wiz Khalifa, check this out.
• Gramatik – Stairway to Hip Hop Heaven - Phenomenal hip hop version of the Zeppelin classic. I also hear shades of R2D2 in there.
• Birdy – Skinny Love – One female laying a cover of Bon Iver’s hit "Skinny Love" that will give you goosebumps all weekend. Hear the original version by clicking here.
• Mac Miller – People Under the Stairs – Internet rapper who promised this song if he hit 100K Twitter followers. Awesome, raw hip hop. Check him out here.
• Spacehog – In The Meantime - Put this at the top of your weekend mix – a classic blue sky day with nothing but possibility baked into every fat, juicy power chord.
