Kanye West “Gay Fish” South Park Parody

 

I hope you were able to catch this past episode of South Park and laugh at the complete massacre of Kanye West via the minds of Trey and Matt. The shots at Yeezy were endless, attacking everything from his style to his swagger to his ego. Definitely worth watching for some great laughs. The music video at the end was a great mockery of Kanye and his musical style. Not too bad for some random music by random people. Enjoy a few laughs!

Conor Oberst & The Mystic Valley Band – “Nikorette”

 

I really wish Conor Oberst would just A) Release more tunes from the new album or B) Move the release date of Outer South to an earlier date! If you check out their website you can download an MP3 of the new song “Nikorette“ or since you have found my little spot on the internet, I have provided one for you. Just sharing the wealth. I am really excited to hear Conor take his music in another direction from the brilliant Bright Eyes route. He definitely started to make strides with his self-titled album from last year. His newest work with The Mystic Valley Band is pure Oberst-esque brilliance wrapped up in a new musical genre for the Bright Eyes lyricist. I’m hoping to catch a show sometime on the current tour, and if you can make any of the dates I promise you will not regret it! Enjoy!

Where The Wild Things Are X Arcade Fire “Wake Up”

 

 

So I know I am not extremely quick on posting this, but I cannot describe how stoked I am for the release of Where The Wild Things Are coming 09.09.09 The movie is going to be done by none other than Spike Jonze. With a sweet trailer backed by Arcade Fire’s “Wake Up.” Enjoy the trailer and if you don’t mind the tease of just 2 minutes, then download the mp3 below. Enjoy!

Arcade Fire – “Wake Up”  X  Where The Wild Things Are

Flight of the Conchords – “Friends”

 

So I was bored and ended up watching some episodes On Demand of this past 2nd season of The Flight of the Conchords. I forgot about just how great this episode and song were! So I felt I should let everyone else check out a halarious song featuring Jim Gaffigan. Enjoy!

The Killers – “Four Winds”

 

So I’m not too sure what to make of this cover. The original version, by none other than Mr. Conor Oberst himself, was beautiful and picturesque, but I can’t say that Brandon Flowers and the gang did a bad job of covering it either. In typical Killers fashion, the synth-based cover does Four Winds good, and leaves you with the same passing feeling. Enjoy!

GLC Ft. Kanye West – “Big Screen”

 

Fresh out of the cutting block, the new jam from GLC featuring the ever-suavy Kanye West, entitled “Big Screen.” GLC has been hard at work for quite awhile now working on his debut album on G.O.O.D. records. This is a great slower song, something pure fire out of the G.O.O.D. camp. Look for this label to absolutely DOMINATE 2009. Enjoy!

N.A.S.A. Ft. Kanye West, Santigold & Lykke Li – “Gifted”

 

Here is the new joint from N.A.S.A. entitiled “Gifted.” In typical N.A.S.A. style, they have teamed up with some of the biggest names in the industry to produce some killer tracks. This is probably one of the most creative and talented group of musicians around right now. Be sure to check out some of their other tracks with suchs artists as David Byrne. Their newest album, The Spirit of Apollo is out now and should definitly be checked out. Enjoy!

Wale Ft. Lady Gaga – “Chillin’”

Wale Ft. Lady Gaga – “Chillin’”

 

Not much to say about this joint except that it will be a club banger very soon! This song puts together two great up-and-coming artists in the hip-hop world on the same track, produced by Cool N Dre. Wale’s flow matches the song perfectly, creating a great jam to listen to anytime. Wale’s debut album, Attention: Deficit is scheduled to drop some time this year, and this single is only building the hype!

Rumor has it the “official” single isn’t leaked yet, just radio rips. But if you check out my link you might discover otherwise…..Enjoy!

Grizzly Bear – “Cheerleader”

Grizzly Bear – “Cheerleader”

 

The anticipation behind the release of the new Grizzly Bear album Veckatimest in building with leaps and bounds. After breaking into the scene last year with Yellow House, Grizzly Bear is coming back with full force with a new full-length album. Here is one of the singles, “Cheerleader” that has been leaked all over the internet. Upon listening, you will be able to tell that it is definitely Grizzly Bear, although it seems that the music has added a whole other level of depth and sound. The countdown to May 26th has begun! Enjoy!

 

If you are wanting to check out a great premature evaluation of the new album, check out this review by Stereogum. It provides a great deal of insight into what to expect from Grizzly Bear this time around. Enjoy!
