0159 Drake – Too Much @ 0:47

Wednesday, October 2nd, 2013

“most people in my position get complacent, want to come places with star girls”

There are some great moments on the Drake album, the sample on the Jay Z track, the intro to Connect, the chorus on Furthest Thing, and then the way the drums drop here on Too Much. It feels like they’re late. Love the flow too, and hearing Sampha takes me back to that great SBTRKT album. The Jimmy Fallon performance is worth a look too, great stuff from our hometown representative.

Too Much 2:45 – 5:45

0153 Chilly Gonzales – Kenaston @ 2:19

Thursday, May 16th, 2013

I think I came back to this after I saw he was guesting on the new Daft Punk album. Daft could work with anyone they want, and they chose Chilly for a reason.

And that reason is in this clip, listen up, I gave you a lead in, the best part starts at :10.

0130 Drake – Over My Dead Body @ 2:15

Thursday, January 26th, 2012

best part of over my dead body

“over my dead body”

The first time I heard this it was on some terrible speakers, and I didn’t quite hear it right. My friend was also making fun of Drake’s sing songy rap style. But damn, hearing it on headphones, yes, this is why I have this blog. To post these special moments of musical bliss. Those lil drums in the background, the way she says ‘baby’, shit man.

Shout out to Drake for the Take Care billboard too, so slick.

0106 Deadmau5 – Raise your Weapon @ 5:03

Sunday, January 16th, 2011

“burn, burn, burn…”

I wonder what the UK boys think of this one, it’s kinda hidden at the 4:45 mark but still.

That extra little step in front of the drop makes it unique. Heavy drums and a soulful vocal, nice combo Mr. D.

0088 Arcade Fire – Rococo @ 2:30

Monday, August 9th, 2010

“the modern kids”

I can’t stop listening to this album. I finally settled on this track to write a best parter on because it has great strings AND a big guitar solo.

Really, this album is a masterpiece.

I could take them or leave ‘em before this.

Look at the album cover and then listen to the album. They’re the same.

I think back to the Danforth Music Hall show earlier this summer and realize it was a privilege to have heard these songs then. I didn’t think they’d be this good. They played Modern Man for their encore; that’s confidence.

This record puts them up there with Radiohead. It dwarfs what came before it, I haven’t listened to MIA, LCD or Lotus in ages… even Madlib!

0053 You Say Party! We Say Die! – Laura Palmer’s Prom @ 3:15

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

“my heart needs a love dance”

This one’s easy considering the band were in my office last night.  They won me over.  Cute and cool, I hadn’t heard their stuff until they played this one live in our boardroom. The track hits overdrive here, lots of attitude, and mega head nod factor! New and recommended, I’ll link to the acoustic live track on ExploreMusic once it goes up.
