I’m so glad people are catching on to how great Nardwuar is. He makes me proud to be Canadian. If you’ve never watched/heard Nardwuar do his thing, you’re in for a treat.

After that Good Charlotte post, some of you maybe confused, but this is still ML. This is a pretty random mixtape I had to post. For some reason Ludacris challenged Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy to a rap battle, then somehow Clinton Sparks got involved and the results is this mixtape..

Citizens FOB Mixtape: Welcome to the New Administration.

Good Charlotte has a lot of haters, I’m not one of them. I have been following their careers since the early days when they were reppin Waldorf, MD to the fullest doing local public access shows in the DMV like MHz. I won’t say I’m their biggest fan, but I have checked out most of the stuff they put out. Lately it looks like the Madden brothers have been putting off being a band, and have started a trend of singing the hooks to various songs. I guess if you can’t get Chris Martin on the hook, you try to get Benji & Joel next? Anyway, check the mp3 flavorings:

Young Dre The Truth Ft. Good Charlotte – Workin

(My favorite; off of Madden (no pun intended) 09)

Bubba Sparxxx Ft. Good Charlotte – I Ain’t Gonna Run

Three 6 Mafia Ft. Good Charlotte – My Own Way

Anyone know what happened to the Good Charlotte & The Game callabo?

In the latest installment, Malice mentions wanting to work with The Killers, which would probably blow our minds.

Pusha also mentions wanting to work with Jeezy, I guess he forgot about this under appreciated gem from a few years back:

Young Jeezy Ft. Pusha T – Pushin Weight

Alex a guitarist for a band called the Haunts out of the UK, hit me up with some remixes they’ve done…and it’s some electro-funk worth checking out.

I like to drink in the afternoon. Maybe even more so than at nighttime. And I am not saying I like to get drunk midday cause that would make me a loser, right? Im saying that having some beer with your buddies on a blistering hot day provides me with the kind of mental tension, that kind of neurological intrigue that I also find in great rock music. Everything runs together and your emotions are blurred or piqued without warning. Your not lost but your constantly searching.

Maybe it is my affection for this state of mind that makes me love The Walkmen so much.

Watch 18 year old Jordan DeLisser murder the piano playing tracks off of Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter III. I’ve always liked piano covers of  songs and SomkeYYY tipped me off to this dude, he also ripped the whole set into mp3s you can cop here. I remember a very solid set of Pianoized (new word!)  Linkin Park songs like 4 years ago, and the trend has been going strong ever since:

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.  

More quality video here.

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 Pretended to Like Me is Gone, the sounds on “In the New Year” swell and rise then crumble softly, drawing the listener in yet again.
