I know, I know

Work has been beating me down, thus, lack of post. There should be one coming this weekend.

Till then, listen to Lupe.

The Dark Knight

This film is the single most impressive thing I have ever seen.

U.N.K.L.E.

Unkle=incredible. From Psyence Fiction, to Never, Never, Land and most recently War Stories, Unkle has given the world the DJ answer to bands like Explosions in the Sky. Anyone song can be listened to apart from the rest and be magical, or together with the whole album and be remarkable.

I present to you a song off each major release that I know of. For Psyence Fiction I could do the obvious and post Rabbit In Your Headlights, instead I will go for one of my personal favorites, Celestial Annihilation. Coolest. Song. Name. Ever. I remember buying this CD and a sticker on the front said, 'DJ Shadow with vocals!'. I was all, who the hell is DJ Shadow? Oh ye of little knowledge.

Next we have Never, Never, Land which saw the departure of DJ Shadow for I believe James Lavelle (or maybe Lavelle was already in Unkle...wiki it if you want to know more than I). A more ambient/soundtrack style was found here, but the since of urgency in all the songs was not lost. And because I can't decide between Reign and Eye For An Eye, you get both! (casual applause goes here)

Lastly we have War Stories. Yes, that is an epic album title. The music on the album does not disappoint. Food for though, when you go out looking to buy this album (which you will) be on the look out for the special 2 disc edition which is in a slick slipcase. Best part about however is the 2nd disc is the album with all the vocals stripped away. hothtoththohtoothohthotothot. Last song on the album is called When Things Explode, so freaking awesome. And for your listening pleasure, the (I think 'single') Burn My Shadow.

Hit the Lights (Review)

I've decided I am going to start doing reviews. They will go something like this:



Hit the Lights- Skip School, Start Fights

8/10 if numbers mean anything to you
Buy it if my words hold sway with you
pop-punk if genre matters to you
all time low/fall out boy if branding other bands on to bands makes sense to you

ps. i could change the image so that it fits, but its 1am.

Blackalicious

There is no other better way to get down than to listen to anything by Blackalicious. This song is taken from the album The Craft, which is very good, not as good as Blazing Arrow, but very good still. Like Gift of Gab? 100% chance you will like this.

The Graduate

/Fancy Image of the band which for whatever reason blogger thinks is broken

What. A. Great. Band.

They released a free ep a year or so ago if I recall that played on repeat for me for a few weeks after. If I were you (which I am), I would get at this song, then hit up the myspace, then buy whatever music you can find.

ps. html is winning over me tonight it seems. i will get to fixing this later

Muxtape (Laptop Edition)

My laptop lives in a different world from my desktop. There are songs on here which are my favorites and some that I doubt I've even listened to. And seeing how it's 8:30 in the morning and I don't want to get out of bed, the laptop will be delivering the Muxtape.

Leave me comments about my muxtape and yours.

Hit the Lights

Oh pop-punk, how I am glad you are here to remind me of fun times. Hit the Lights might just be one of the best fun bands still left on our planet. If you enjoy catchy hooks and choruses, then their new cd 'Skip School, Star Fights' is for you.

Stream for a time being, the new album out today:
