Moving in Music

You'll all be doin' it soon, here's some music to get you motivated for multiple trips to the car and luggin' around boxes.

!!!- Bend Over Beethoven
Pronounced Chick Chick Chick, !!! is a disco funkpunk band that has been around for a couple years now. I just saw them this past Sunday and they really blew me away, check out this song and imagine it much louder and more powerful.

The Drums- Lets Go Surfing
This is off the debut album from the drums, pretty catchy song right here. Check them out too.

DOM- Bochicha
Fun little song by a band that just said they're breaking up. That's unfortunate, but so is having to move in that futon!

Wale- The Guilty Pleasure (No Hands)  (Ft. Waka Flaka and Roscoe)
Wale's new mixtape is called More About Nothing and it's his second mixtape about America's favorite sitcom, Seinfield. This song is just as the title announces, a guilty pleasure, complete with Autotune and a radio hook. "Ladies, this yo jam".

Big Boi- Shine Blockas (Ft. Gucci Mane) 
Probably my new favorite rap song, Big Boi kicks ass.

Das Racist- You Oughta Know
Yup, three rap songs in a row, what are you gonna do about it? This one's super catchy and it's brought to you by the same guys who made: "I'm at the Pizza Hut!" and I'll take any excuse to post that song.

Chromeo- You're So Gangsta
Their new album comes out today, yeahhhh babyy

Many Months

Discouraged by the lack of embedded songs and overtaken by a wave of apathy, I have failed to do anything for many months. Alas! Recently I have found a great deal of excellent music which has, as music tends to do, inspired me to regain my former zeal and get back to blogging. Or so I hope. Anyway, here are some great songs that I've been listening to lately.

The Postelles- White Night
Can't get over this song, I listen to it over and over. I first heard it on their Daytrotter Session, which gives a little bit of a different version and also some of their other songs off of their Debut album.


Aeroplane- We Can't Fly
A really funky song, which goes through some changes. Aeroplane's new album is very eclectic, as demonstrated by the next song on the album.


Aeroplane- We Fall Over
Couldn't find this one on Yotube or Hype Machine, but you can download it here. It's a good one, and a lot slower. Check it out

Les Savy Fav- Appetites
This song's a little crazier, kinda reminds me of The Strokes and a little bit like Bats. This whole album is real good.

Jaill- Everyone's Hip
This is a real fun dancy rock song. Fast and short, just the way I like em. I'm in the process of listening to this whole album; it sounds like a new age Velvet Underground, but that may be too lofty a compliment. Decide for yourself!

Cut Copy- Where I'm Going
Cut Copy is the shit. Go to their free show in Brooklyn this Sunday, this song is from their upcoming album which I am eagerly awaiting.
