i like.

Stillness is the Move by Dirty Projectors.

new UNKLE video.

A pretty cool new UNKLE video for his song Heaven, directed by Spike Jonze. Looks he may have used some (or all) of the footage from his Fully Flared skate video that he did for Lakai.

fever ray.

I've been listening to this group a lot lately. If you like The Knife then you will most likely enjoy the lead singer's new project, Fever Ray. Their new self-titled album is solid all the way through. I really like this video for "When I Grow Up" too.

no excuses.

A new video from Air France. Their CD "No Way Down" has been on heavy rotation for me these last several weeks. Definitely worth checking out.

going on.

New video by Gnarls Barkley. It was shot on location in Jamaica and was directed by Wendy Morgan. The choreography is great.

little bit.

Lykke Li - Little bit

Usually I don't like to play out a song that I like for fear that I'll get tired of it and end up not liking it in the end. However, once in a while I hear a song that I just can't stop listening to. This is one of those songs. This video is so good to. And if you like this check out Lykke Li's Youth Novels album with more quality pieces.

original run.

Nike has this little project called Original Run where artists put together a 45 minute track which which is set at a nice tempo for runners to listen to while they run. So far Crystal Method and Aesop Rock have done an album for the project and I hear that A-track is due up for the next album. Nike is always coming up with new ways to intermix culture with their brand and I think this idea is pretty genius. Unfortunately I don't have time to go out runs right now, but I'll be looking forward to hearing A-track's album whenever it comes out.

i'm feeling this.

Santogold "L.E.S. Artistes"

I'm really liking this L.E.S. song by Santogold right now.

Gnarls Barkley - Run [NEW]

I just saw that Gnarls Barkley had a video for their new single "Run" which is off their up coming album The Odd Couple. It has a similar feel to it as "Crazy" off their last album, pretty high energy and "poppy". I have to say I'm not super impressed by the video, but it does have Justin Timberlake so I guess that makes it a little bit better. I am looking forward to hearing the rest of the album coming in April though.

radiohead remixed.

I was a little skeptical when I heard about Radioheads In Rianbows album being remixed by Amplive. I mean when an album is so good the first time around, why go and try and do it justice by remixing it? However, Amplive did do a pretty good job. There are 8 tracks and appearances by Zion-I, Too Short, and several others. It's now available for free and legal download. It's definitely worth getting.

new arcade fire video.

Arcade Fire's new video for their single Black Mirror is pretty cool. While watching the video you can use toggles on your keyboard to control the audio. You can turn off the drums if you like, or the vocals, or you can turn off everything and just hear the vocals. You'll have to mess with it yourself though, it's pretty entertaining. They've also released the a capella track for the single too, and I've already heard some pretty fun remixes of the song.

afta-1

If your a fan of instrumental albums that you can just listen to all day, than you'll probably be a fan of afta-1's aftathoughts vol.1 album. It kind of sounds like J-Dilla, only 10 years in the future. I'm really enjoying it right now. Check out his website or his myspace to listen to some of his tracks.

journey can help.

Journey-Separate Ways
Uploaded by Docbuzz

I know some people are a little bummed that they have to go back to work today and now all the holidays are over, but let's just remember that Journey can brighten even the roughest of days. This video is so good.

CRS.

CRS (Lupe, Pharrell & Kanye) - US Placers [EXCLU]
Uploaded by PeteRock

There's been talks of super group CRS, which consists of Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco, and Pharrell, putting out an album sometime in the near future. For now they just have this little diddy titled Us Placers featuring Thom Yorke. I really hope these aren't just rumors about CRS putting out a full length album, cause that would pretty amazing if they did. For now I'll just enjoy this video though.

heartbeats: live.

Heartbeats by The Knife is my favorite song of all time. Here's the live version of the song from their new release Silent Shout - An Audio Visual Experience 3-disk deluxe DVD set.

lookin forward to this.

Yesterday marked the 25 anniversary of Michael Jackson's multi-million selling Thriller album. However, the special 25 Anniversary Edition of the album will not be available until Feb. 11. It'll be worth the wait though. Not only will there be previously unrecorded tracks by Michael, there will also be remixes by Kanye West, will.i.am, and Akon. The special addition will also contain other rarities and several music videos. I know I'll be looking forward to it's release.

happy friday.

Sorry I couldn't find an actual video to this song, but I think the song is enough in itself. Just listen and try to sit still.

mickey factz.

If you are wondering where hip hop might be headed in the next couple of years, you should check out Mickey Factz. His electro/hip hop style uses mash up beats to accompany fluid rhymes. He samples anything from Fall Out Boy, to Bjork, to Daft Punk to create a unique, catchy sound. Be sure to download his Heaven's Fallout mixtape for free on his sight!

bat for lashes.

I was introduced to Bat for Lashes a few month ago, and have been loving what I've heard from them since. This UK based band's first album Fur And Gold is full of melodic, eerie songs with beautiful vocals. And what about this video for the song "What's A Girl To Do?" A nice long continuous shot with masked men on BMX bikes? Interesting, but fun. Also check out the song Horse and I, one of my favorites.

happy friday.

It's true Michael may have fallen on some hard times, but just look how happy he was back in the day. I love the start of this video, he loves his life. Check out this video too for some of some of his amazing live footage here. This dude can jam.
