Download Now: "The Noose of Jah City"-King Krule

I know it's been a while since i rapped at you, and for this, we are sorry. As I went on a run today for the first time in a long time, I came to the realization that there are no real winners when this blog goes neglected, just like there were no real winners when I was neglected as a young child. I kid! My parents are great!

Anyways, this King Krule track kinda krules. Like a young, modern day Joe Strummer or Billy Bragg, Archy Marshall aka King Krule sucks you in with the rawness of his voice over a fresh, yet subtle beat. I don't what's more capitivating, the fact that he was born in 1994(that makes him 17 if you're playing at home) and he's singing lines like "My soul is left to drown, suffocating in concrete” or the way he annunciates all his E's.

Judge for yourself.

One Day We're Gonna Live in Paris...I Promise.

This morning I asked out Paris Hilton. It looked and sounded like this.

To mark such a wonderful denial I have included a mp3 of "Paris" by Friendly Fires. Enjoy!

Watch and Download Now: Gordon Voidwell

If Prince and Alexis Taylor from Hot Chip had a baby, it might look and sound like Gordon Voidwell. No, seriously. Voidwell drops a interlude on his mixtape with a snippet of Hot Chip's "Down with Prince." Like a wonderful buffet of geek chic, new wave, hip hop, synths, and funk, Voidwell throws it all out on the table. But this ain't no Shoney's, homies. This is the real deal. Like Farnsworth Bentley, but with actual talent. Voidwell takes many elements from the past and makes them sound like they're from the future, with no barrier stopping him from combining so many different genres. What's even more intriguing is that Voidwell is able to make race and socioeconomic commentary with his lyrics while still making the music sound like one big party.

Peep the party below.

Download Now: The Third Twin aka Daft Punk?

So.... Supposedly, Daft Punk will be playing in 2011 under the mysterious name The Third Twin. This could all be a hoax, but maybe not, since The Third Twin is scheduled to play the Arenal Festival in Spain in August alongside heavy hitters like the Simple Minds, and the Cranberries... Excerpt from Arenal press release below. The Third Twin zip file below that. You decide.


"The Third Twin is a French electronic music duo which is getting very popular around the business in the recent months. The reason is simple: They are directly related to the famous Daft Punk. They are in the second edition of the festival which takes place from August 4-7 at the Playa El Arenal from Burriana, Castellón, Spain. The show up of this mysterious group opens the Arenal Sound line up 2011.

The stage name of The Third Twin emerged supposedly with the aim of publishing the issues proposed by Daft Punk to Disney's movie Tron: Legacy. The company initially considered the material too oriented to electronic sounds because of that they refused it. The company ordered a new batch of compositions more orchestral and traditional which finally took part of the soundtrack of the film which was recently released with great success.

Daft Punk could not sign with their original name, music themes nor use any clear reference to the film for legal reasons. That is the reason why the well-known French electronic tandem had to use allegedly that pseudonym.

The result was The Third Twin or TTT, a music project which contain the songs published that is part of that band sound rejected. It was compiled together in an album entitled Homemade where you can find those tracks such as "Evil Minds" "Technolers" or "The Time is Over." The Third Twin has their own profile on MySpace where they have an extensive music material and songs that made Homemade and reached a great amount of visits on YouTube.

Arenal Sound becomes one of the many international festivals on this category to bring significant DJ's highly praised at the time, The Third Twin. (http://www.arenalsound.com). Just wait and see their performance at the festival to discover if the mystery is revealed."
