Song Of The Day

It's Whomp Wednesday, so I'm gonna go ahead and show you one of my favorite Dubstep tracks of late. It's by the incredible Flux Pavillion and is wicked. This song starts off with a tribute to the roots, that real Ragga Dub type stuff that I personally loves, but drops into a more modern sound.

Excuse Me - Flux Pavillion http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRGHwPqBgJg

Appalacia Waltz

Hey there music fans I hope you've had a solid breakfast cause this weeks album is outrageous.

When you put three of the greatest instrumentalists alive together in a recording studio you're bound to get something good, but when Yo-Yo Ma, Edgar Meyer and Marc O'Connor got together in 1996 they produced an album that not only crossed genres effortlessly, but also is one of the greatest examples of musicianship and musical conversation ever. They spent three days in the recording studio and recorded 16 tracks, here are some of my favorites.

Appalachia Waltz http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vguZmqHJ6OA
I could go on, but I would end up listing the whole album (which is really hard to find on youtube) so I'm going to stop there. Seriously, this album is amazing, buy it. Keep on listening to music and expanding your knowledge, Stephen.

Oh, a little P.S. Ma and Meyer just released an album with Stuart Duncan and Chris Thile called Goat Rodeo Sessions here's a track from it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-31e8Nlujw. It's awesome.

Song Of The Day

I'm embarrassed to admit that I just recently found Phil Ade, but more than that I'm happy I found him. Simple beats, great lyrics, everything I need in a hip hop track.

Oy vey, what a day. I hate Mondays, but I love Hip Hop (nice segue no?) Today's track comes to you out of the streets of Boulder with rappers Synk-Na-Rise and Ace Beyond. This is a preview off of the much awaited mixtape Lost and Found. Alright, here it is.

Song Of The Day

The song of the day is...

Mr. Gnome - Rabbit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uASuv2AsgIM

It's super haunting. Mr. Gnome is awesome, the duo flirts with the line between esoteric and heavy rock and roll perfectly. Sort of like, if CocoRosie got together with System.

Hope you enjoy.

10 Really Awesome Songs

So I realized yesterday that I know these songs that not many other people would know, and they're so awesome, so this week I'm putting together a list of 10 of them. Some of these will be terrible, by the way, but just trust me, they're still awesome. Alright let's go.

Song 1. Cocaine - Abner Jay http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvvbJnVLX40 This song is turrible. But actually, this is the greatest intro to a song ever, and the song's pretty cool too. If you don't like folk, then just deal with it.

Song 2. Go To The Mardi Gras - Professor Longhair http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LR82f0GJgXgWelcome to class. Professor Longhair is gonna teach you what it's all about. Everything about this song is cool. And that whistling at the beginning is so impressive.

Song 3. Turbo - New Kids ft Paul Elstak http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fQODLgW9I0w RAGE RAGE RAGE! That's all.

Song 4. Come Together (Omega Dubstep Remix) - The Beatles http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mTTDOss5jUE it's really awesome. Even if you don't like Dubstep you can appreciate how cool this is.

Song 5. Existance - Excision http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-u0t8ZIlwuQ This was the song of this last summer. My friend and I went to target and put this in one of their sound systems and called it dubstep-terrorism. This is complete filth.

Song 6. True Fuschnick - Fu-Schnickens http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGGTvpc584E Mind Blowing.

Song 7. Fuck Da Government (Feat. Bruza) - Bashy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PuMpO4KV-ls This is Grime music. It's amazing. This is off of his mixtape Ur Mum Vol. 1

Song 8. Come Fly With Me - Frank Sinatra http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmQq6yLe2ww  what a guy.

Song 9. To The Beach - Jon and Roy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-X68Rs7DiJk really chill tune.

Song 10. God's Gonna Cut You Down - Johnny Cash http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IHxG8VkiQA this song is chilling.

That's all for now. Hope you like them. Leave feedback in the comments if you want, maybe suggestions for the next post. Keep on listening to music and expanding your knowledge. Stephen
