OK, first off, sorry for the lack of posting on behalf of all of us. We've been churning out exams then gettin' freak-nasty on
SB2K11. But besides all that, we're back and we're black(er).
To make up for the serious lack of posting, I've got a handful of some quack-tastic that will get your spring sprung.
The Morning - The Weeknd
So first off we've got The Weeknd, who is a Toronto dude, Abel Tesfaye, who has started to make a name for himself since the beginning of this week. He is an R&B/soul singer with an amazing voice, and deep, dark lyrics. There's something a little bizarre about listening to some hardcore lyrics behind his soft voice. But, hey, if Natalie Portman can shave her head and still look fine as f*&%, I see no reason to put down this dude. Plus, it's got a sick beat with some catchy guitar riffs.
Beggin' - Madcon
Next, we've got Madcon, a hip-hop duo from Norway (who'd-a-thunk-it). These guys have been around since 1992 and have toured around with Wu-Tang, Busta, 50 Cent, and latest up to date, Gang Starr. The dudes are a little fruity, but good nonetheless.
Eclectic Prawn - Dumbo Gets Mad
The two Italian folks from Dumbo Gets Mad look about what I would expect from listening to their tunes. They've got a psychedelic, mellow feel that reminds me a lot of 60's music. They kill it on the organs and incorporate a number of different instruments in their jams.
I Love U So - Cassius
These guys are French. Franch. Frank. Metro. Francois. Bitches. French. I don't really know much about them except that this is the most masculine picture I can find, so I would guess they probably wouldn't help the US in war either. Their music is not bad, though. Give it a shot and try not to generalize like I just did.
The Bike Song (feat. Kyle Flaconer & Spank Rock) - Mark Ronson & The Business Intl
And, I saved the best for last. This is the perfect springtime jam. If you haven't heard of this dude already, Mark Ronson is one of the most respected DJs in the game right now. Get on it if you haven't already. Your bike that is...
OK cool. I think I'm kind of caught up now. I got some more PHat tunes for a little later.
