MICHAEL’S FIVE
Blu – Amnesia
nice little beat sampling Billie Holiday. Verse very well suited. Kinda moody. Worth repeated listens. annnd yeah.. deeep man.
Sonnymoon - Golden Age LP
This LP is free to download. Particularly enjoying the track Houstalantavegas and Run Away has a great video clip.
Laughing Academy – Run Tings
SilverWHK? Laughing Academy? Are you just trying to make it appear that there’s more than one beat maker in Whakatane? Either way it’s a Jammy AS beat!
The Chapparrals – Atlanta
One of them crate diggers finds that they put up on their blog. This is some sophisticated funk, allowing for some dorky dancing on my part. Youuu diiiiiid!?
Brand Nubian – Step Into Da Cipher
In class the other day we all had to say what kind of music we liked. 3 people said “90s hip hop”. How bout that, it’s a developed sub genre now.
TALIA’S TOTALLY RAD TOP FIVE SONGS OF THE MOMENT
1. Volcano Choir - Island, Is
Volcano Choir is a collab between Bon Iver and another Wisconsin band Collections of Colonies of Bees. It’s pretty neat, sounds like a Bon Iver song but not. Yeah.
2. De la Soul - La la la
A review I read of this song blah’d on about how they were mature rappers yadda yadda wank wank but whatever to that, they don’t need all that. It’s a good song, listen to it.
3. Pixies - Gigantic
Seeing these guys play last week was A M A Z I N G. That is all I can say.
4. Charlotte Gainsbourg - Trick Pony
First single from her new album which by the sounds of it, is very different from her last. Rocky…and a little bit dirty.
5. Beach House - Lover of Mine
Listening to Beach House is a mix between a warm sunny day and getting drunk and crying to your friends about your ex boyfriend who you miss. This song off their new album ‘Teen Dream’ is no different, very pretty and achingly sad.
