That was a hiatus alright. I decided since I have lots of free time now in NYC (and am using Google AdSense to make some extra cash) I should start up the music blog again.

So, most interestingly in music lately is Major Lazer, friend of Diplo crew. Seriously, have you heard "Pon di Floor"? Amazing.

Go to maddecent.com to purchase or off of itunes. This along with Keep It Goin Louder (Feat. Nina Sky) are some great songs from this ridiculous album. Ms. Thing and Santigold also guest star!

PROP 8

noreply@blogger.com (Richie) — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 19:53:00 +0000

I had the fortune of going to the anti Prop 8 rally in NYC (although I got there at the tail end of it). We marched through the city and people were cheering us on in the streets, cars were honking, and it was all in all an amazing experience.

NO on Prop 8

There will be pictures from the NYC Prop 8 rally today, I will have videos too

Pop The Glock

I never really got into Uffie but this song my roommate keeps on repeat constantly.

Its a nice smooth track and the remix of it is fantastic. Well fantastic until Curtis Vodka takes over the entire track for the last half. Same thing over and over again.

enjoy!

They're baaaaaack. t.A.T.u.'s new mostly russian album "Happy Smiles" is thankfully on itunes. It is by far the best thing they have ever done, experimenting with so many different styles on one CD. I have loved them for a long time, and hearing all of these new songs makes me love them even more. Last time I checked this album was number 24/100 on the top 100 pop albums in iTunes. THATS INCREDIBLE being as it was released yesterday in Russia, with no promo, and no links.

Please, I beg that you all go and buy "Happy Smiles" from iTunes. It isn't available in America yet, but later this year the full english album will be released. Just get it!

One of the best songs off of the album (in english)

The time has come. Yelle was in the top 5 best concerts I have ever been to.

Kap10Kurt was the first opening act. They played a great show packed with energy and no one could stand still for it. It was great to get really pumped before Yelle.

Next was Funeral Party. They were great too, just a little too much screaming to be opening for Yelle. I liked their energy, they got the crowd jumping.

Finally, finally Yelle came on and opened with Tristesse/Joie. I haven't heard that much screaming in so long. She continued with most of her hits like "Mal Poli", "Jogging", and "Ce Jeu". "Dans Ta Vraie Vie" was one of my favorite performances that night. The girl wouldn't stop moving! The encore was the best, it was a rock version of "Je Veux Te Voir" and it couldnt have been better.

I got a bunch of amazing pictures and ok videos. Tepr and Grand Marnier did a fantastic job as well, they really make an amazing trio.

Two more great photos:

My friend Christie came with me and we had an amazing time. I definately think the concert got her into Yelle.

Two videos, but they are very shaky because I couldnt even stand up straight.

A friend of mine is having a crazy rave party, so I was asked to make a playlist. I automatically thought of the Tepr remix of Say Aha by Santogold, but there were so many parts of it that are too slow. I can't remix anything for shit, but I tried to take out the slow parts and smooth it down.

Nothing much, but I was proud it flowed.

Oh Yelle.

This weekend, I will put up the videos and pictures of the Yelle concert. I got front row and the energy there was incredible.

....Ps, hi Luis.

Ok, ok, ok, its a guilty pleasure. Please enjoy this kick ass video.

"Tegan and Sara, in good health!"

noreply@blogger.com (Richie) — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 18:06:00 +0000

Ok, concert time. My camera is a piece of shit, and I was maybe 8th row back, so the videos are not the best quality (sound is actually pretty good though). First opening act was Girl In A Coma, who I have loved forever and did an amazing job. They sang mostly new stuff (and none of my 2 favorites, "Sybil Vane Was Ill" or "Road To Home") and it was so fast paced.

Best picture I got with my shit camera.

Next up was City and Color, which was a man named Dallas singing acoustic songs. I thought he did a great job, but the order of the opening bands was completely off. Girl In A Coma got the crowd HYPED, and then he gets on and puts everyone to sleep.

here he is:

Now on to the main attraction. Tegan and Sara came out and were fantastic. They told funny stories, sang new songs, sang their best songs, and just gave a thoroughly enjoyable concert experience. Pictures came out very, VERY bad so, I will just show you how great it was.

Umbrella covered by Tegan and Sara, really? Fantastic.

I had the extreme fortune of seeing them live on Friday for the first time. Pictures/videos (a lot of videos) will be up by the end of the week.

please comment when you download stuff, I know that out of 102 downloads of MIA and Rye Rye, you guys are obviously reading. Leave me some love, I can use it right now.

Well

Life is not so good right now, despite being in fantastic NYC. Ever have someone hurt you so bad you just need to scream?

Scream and be happy:

My day can not get any better. Thanks to MAD DECENT for posting this, its a collab between M.I.A. and Rye Rye and its one of the best slower tracks by either of them. It has a killer beat and the Tic Tic Tic Toc sample looped is fire.

Why do I even talk about it, judge for yourselves, you will NOT be disappointed.

Tommorrow will be a post about the ridiculous new track that hit the internet, by a certain Bmore club princess and a Sri Lankan rapper. Scouts honor.

oh, and Mz. Streamz commented on my video of them, which made me very happy.

Ok.

Finally some down time. One of my roommates was listening to Fiona Apple, so I thought I would find some obscure, innovative song by her, and my god, I did.

"Paper Moon" is a collaboration between Fiona and Maude Maggart. Its so unlike all of her other stuff, there is no music (that I can detect) and she harmonizes beautifully with Maude.

Enjoy:

I mean...

I opted for an easy out with a quick post, just please look at how fucking brilliant she is. I promise more music coming soon.

Shit son

Sorr about the lack of updates, living in NYC for the first time is proving to be completely time consuming, I haven't even had a chance to sit down. Within the next week I will really try to post some banging music, and I will start to check out some local sounds here in the city.

Hot New Band

noreply@blogger.com (Richie) — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 03:19:00 +0000

(Thanks myspace!)

Wow. I was messaged a few days ago from Jonathan from Color Radio asking to check out their music. I figured it would be pretty good, but I was not expecting it to be THIS good.

Sounding like a perfect mix of Aqualung, Coldplay, and Arctic Monkeys, Color Radio could easily be the next hot band in music. Their two songs up "Yellow Jackets" (my favorite) and "While We Wait" are perfect in every way. The beat, the vocals, the lyrics, it all just mixes in and fits wonderfully.

Their first CD is out September 5th, entitled Feeling Like You Used To and I for one, am very excited to hear more from Color Radio.

Check them out, for tour dates and more info on the CD at their myspace

Go ahead, try it.

noreply@blogger.com (Richie) — Sun, 24 Aug 2008 02:57:00 +0000

Try and listen to "Good Times Gonna Come" by Aqualung and not think it is the most epic song made in recent years.

Thanks to Skins for putting this song into the episode with the stalker, it fit perfectly with the mood.

Skins Video (YouTube) Sketch in Maxxie's Room Clip (no embed link, sorry)

Not safe for work or school. Sketch (a female teenage stalker of gay Maxxie) has snuck into Maxxie's room when he wasn't home, put on his shirt, and started masturbating in his bed. It was all "Good Times"...until Maxxie came home, and she had to hide under the bed.

Watch it, this show is fantastic.

Oh, right! The song (in Zshare):

Aqualung - Good Times Gonna Come

AGAIN!?

I'm taking a slight break from my insane workload of things to do before I move to NYC on monday for college, to bring you this.

Little Jackie (the collaboration between singer Imani Coppola and DJ Adam Pallin) is all over the place this summer. I was in a hotel room with some friends and "The World Should Revolve Around Me" came on. My friend Sarah and I turned to each other in one of those movie-perfect-turns and sat glued to the TV until the song was over.

Her rhymes are fun and strong and her voice is just indescribable.

Enjoy :

Zouglou

noreply@blogger.com (Richie) — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 05:14:00 +0000

J'ai trouvé un tres bon morceau.

Zouglou is a type of dance music (and dance?) found in Africa, specifically in Côte d'Ivoire. Imagine that really popular Calabria 2007 song by Enur (which I think is pretty good actually) but with African guys and a better beat.

Magic System made "Joie De Vivre" meaning "Joy of Life". Its such a good dance song and the Zouglou dance style of music is infectious.

Only problem is all I could find is a jacked up mp3 of it, so here is the song. The last 15 seconds just skips to the end always, but you can get the idea.

This is nothing new, but I haven't been able to stop listening all night. The Magnetic Fields have this great sound to them, with Stephin Merritt's monotone voice, to the ukelele in some songs, they each have special touch to them. I have been looking for "The One You Really Love" forever (if anyone wants to point me towards it...), but I have "Underwear" for your listening pleasure.
