Weekend of 01-20-12

Pretty sure I’ve never seen a video or a lineup like this – fully electrifying. I don’t think it is any accident that over 18 million people have seen this. Needless to say, I’m looking up tickets this afternoon for a Europe throwdown. Hot beats and cold weather this week, kind of like the ski lodge on a power day. EXACTLY where I want to be.
• Break Science – Talk That Talk (Rihanna Remix) – This remix is SO good. Definitely on my top 10 "wish I had a Landrover" jams for 2012. Love the huge bass lines and voluptuous beat drop.
• Shwayze feat Adele – I Won’t Go – Smooth operations all around. The voices and piano in this one are silk for the ears. Not the soy milk kind.
• Left Boy – VIE – Two weeks in a row, Left Boy delivers a much more authentic music blitz, sampling from an older days. Kind of like a Hoodie Allen, if you’re into that.
• W.E.E.D – Love for Free – I like this a lot. It’s got that sexiness that makes hip hop work, fused with some straight 50-Cent style rap.
• Temple of the Dog – Hunger Strike – Blast from the 90’s, Eddie Vedder and Chris Cornell lay down one of the most vintage angst jams. What’s funny is that most people just refer to this song as "Oh – yeah I heard that in the first Girl Talk album." Sigh.
