0130 Drake – Over My Dead Body @ 2:15

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.

LCD Soundsystem Interview in Toronto – This is Happening

Tuesday, May 31st, 2011

“We’re gonna do the record in Spanish, and do the Panda market as well…”

I’ve posted this on Lowsound, but I want to share it here too. Last year I got to interview James and Nancy from LCD Soundsystem thanks to Ira at ExploreMusic. It was a blast, they’re both cool as hell. I think this may be their last ever interview :).. so enjoy!

0080 LCD Soundsystem – Dance yourself Clean @ 3:00

Monday, June 14th, 2010

“Don’t you want me to wake up….”

Big Synth drop right here. I was lucky enough to interview James Murphy (the main guy from LCD) a couple weeks back for ExploreMusic and I asked him about this part of the song. He said he’s a big gear guy, and that he sidechained about 6 synths to get this the way he wanted it. I remember watching a video of Kanye talking to Timbaland about whether the kick drum on Stronger had enough oomph…there are parts of songs that a producer knows have to hit hard, and I think some producers spend days if not weeks tweaking the compressors, filters and effects settings once they’ve already got the notes played.

You’ll be thankful when you hear this, I am. Check it out.
