I hit a beat and swing a note as if my name was David Ruffin/ quick to toast an mc just like an english muffin
My favorite band at the moment. This video only reinforces the notion that No Age is going to change the world. These two guys from Los Angeles (Dean Spunt and Randy Randall) have made the loudest record of the year, but yet their sound remains elusive. Mind boggling.

The Walkmen make great drunken anthems. Their particular flavor of garage rock succeeds in blending poetic lyrics with crunchy waves of distortion and driving rhythms. The new track off the forthcoming album You and Me (out September 16th) shows the band playing up their strengths. Much like “Wake Up,” an inspired track off of Everyone Who [...]
I watched the condensed footage over at the BBC (has the best quality), and by all looks Jay killed it. I mean coming out covering Wonderwall?? Pretty gangster. Was he really playing the guitar? who cares! While Beyonce was on the side of the stage wylin out during Encore, does anyone know who the [...]
This is by far my favorite Chicago song, I’ve always dreamt of someone sampling it or even remixing it. Bird Peterson answered my prayers brining the horn section into the new millennium.

Late pass please, I remember reading about it around the time it came out in 2006 but I’ve never actually seen it till now. If you haven’t seen this it is pretty funny, the casting is great, think hip-hop meets Spinal Tap. Stars Snoop Dogg as Head, David Banner as David, Lil John as Jonathon [...]

WOW. Via a Pitchfork Media interview with Rivers:
Pitchfork: Can you elaborate on what a more experimental Weezer record might sound like?
RC: Longer songs, non-traditional song forms, different people writing and singing, instrument switching, TR-808s, synths, Southern rap, and baroque counterpoint– for starters.
When asked for clarification on the rapping part:
Pitchfork: Oh, and who’s doing the rapping?
RC: [...]
It’s been a while since when we heard the smash song, Stonger, for the first time, and it’s about time Kanye hooked up with Daft Punk for a live rendition.
Foo Fighters & John Paul Jones with the strings section was pretty damn good too:

Chances are, what you’re about to read is the latest 2007 wrap-up amongst the hip hop blogosphere. And I don’t mean “latest” as in the “newest”. I mean “latest” as in everybody has done this before we did, and as a result, we’re late. Like how you wouldn’t want your girl’s period to be.
To that, [...]
