So I've been hella busy with finals and all that, but I some how managed to get in some quality music time. Finals = more procrastination, that being said this post is just going to be a quick blurb with some cool beats I found. I also saw Bon Iver live two nights ago and damn it was one of the best shows I have ever been to, but there will be a whole post devoted to those guys later. So everyone who listens to Vampire Weekend songs always hears the line "blah blah blah...Peter Gabriel too". Well, apparently Peter Gabriel was listening and so he got together with some friends (Hot Chip) and did a cover of Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa. It's full of crazy and mystical sounds with a nice chill Hot Chip feel to it. My respects to Peter Gabriel. Anyway listen and tell me what you think. To give credit to those I found it from: Abeano
Moving on...I'm a huge fan of Minimalism. It's cool. Lykke Li's latest release taps into that minimalist energy with her seductive voice. I feel her voice goes perfectly with the Kings Of Leon feel. The song also has tambourine.
Here's a video of Lykke Li with Bon Iver backing her on "Dance Dance Dance". Easily one of the coolest things I've seen in years. Minimalism at its finest.
For more sweet video's Pitchfork has list of top music videos from this year. Check em out.
Well give you one last track or so rap super group CRS (Child Rebel Soldiers) came out with a newish track or something like that. The group consists of Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco, and Pharrell. Apparently they are working on a full album now with Radiohead beatmaker Joshua Ramos, or at least wikipedia says they are. Anyway here's a N.E.R.D. song they are featured on that's pretty heavy. And just because I don't want to get back to work I'll put the only CRS track that I have on too. Enjoy.
