Beyonce - Partition (starRo Remix):  boom boom bae boom!

Death Blues - Unseen:  I want to go in toa  dark tunnel and drink strange whiskeys while the dark mirth of Death Blues fills the air with opium and passion.

Deft Aphid - Password Protected ft Coin Locker Kid, Rob Swift:  First instinct is the celebration that Rob Swift is still kicking it. 

Ex Hex - How You Got That Girl:  Haven't heard the new album Rips yet, but I love the straight forward singalong pop here.

Fool's Gold - I'm In Love (Poolside Remix):  If you see the words "Pool Side" on a track, just imagine it's a timewarp to 1983 and go get funky with yourself.

Gallant - Manhattan:  Smooth silk core.

Interpol - Everything Is Wrong:  Oh hey, new Interpol, from El Pintor!

Miike Snow - Paddling Out (Lowflows Remix):  Super pop Miike Snow remix time!

Mugsy! - Simple:  This is breakbeat 101 dope science class.  Take notes.

Run The Jewels - Close Your Eyes (And Count To Fuck) ft Zack De La Rocha
Run The Jewels - Lie Cheat Steal:  There are a number of albums that I have to start out immediately with a disclaimer.  Kanye was like this too:  There's just a lot of fucked up stuff in the lyrics that I wish I could slap them over.  But ugggh, what is with this odd position where we're totally cool with an intense amount of bullshit said in hiphop?   But yeah, despite the stupid shit, this is undeniably hot hot hot shit.  RUN THE JEWELS 2 waaaaaaaaaaaaa good.  AND THEY GOT ZACK ON IT!

Sharon Van Etten - Our Love:  Another great song from Are We There, which is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Swans - She Loves Us:  HOLY SHIT THE NEW ALBUM IS AMAZING.  To Be Kind.  Get it.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

The Radio Dept. - Death To Fascism:  Simple yet powerful progressive beats.

Troyka - Clint:  There is a spiritual hole in my heart filled in by this bliss.

Bryyn - Black Wolves:  Ahhh the precious smallness!

Caribou - Silver:  Our Love is out now.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Populous - Brasilia ft Giorgio Tuma:  Sounds like some swampy Beachhouse meets Animal Collective jam and it's alll good.

RiFF RAFF - Dolce & Gabbana (Carnage VIP Edit):  I'll just pretend that we all know it's a joke, right?

Run The Jewels - Oh My Darling Don't Cry:  I should probably just say I'm kind of really fucking tired of some of Killer Mike's politics, but dayyam this track is indisputable.

Sizzla - Blessed (Deejay Theory remix):  Total party jamss.

Sleater-Kinney - Bury Our Friends:  HOLY FUCKING SHIT NEW SLEATER-KINNEY OMG OMG OMG ARE YOU PEOPLE LISTENING TO ME?  AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Stumbleine ft Violet Skies - Sleeping Through The Day (The Walton Hoax Remix):  Yes, sometimes we all must.

Taylor McFerrin - Decisions ft Emily King
Taylor McFerrin - Georgia:  OK I admit it, I had to go check and see if this guy was related to Bobby, and yup.  Damn hot lineage, these tracks are amazing.

MP3 blog 2014/11/10

blog 2014/11/10 - what is better than to…

No really, he makes elephant noises:  http://thetastates.com/mp3s/blog/blog20141110.zip


AbJo - However (You Want) v.3:  Stripped down cheese classic gets the slowmo workout.

Alex Wiley - Vibration (Honest Remix):  Ahhh OMG getting that Chance The Rapper bits in there elevates this to perfection.

Aria Perez - Seduce Me:  Oooo I love the density of the production on this one, super brazen.

Chairlift - Ghost Tonight:  This is a super sexy track from the 2012 album Something

Chubby Fingers - You Belong:  More slick reworkings of the classic cheese.  Full cheese ahead!

Hoodie Allen - Nolan Ryan:  Hooooly shit this is hot hot hot!  AND HE MAKES ELEPHANT SOUNDS.

Hopium - Dreamers ft Phoebe Lou (Jamie Kuse Remix):  Blissed pop goodness all over this one.

Ice Cube - Drop Girl ft Redfoo & 2 Chainz (UZ Remix):  Daaaang UZ does the trap ish right.

Indian - Rhetoric of No
Indian - The Impetus Bleeds:  OK OK so sometimes I end up queueing up some death metal.  These two are from the newly extra dense From All Purity.

KOOL A.D. - Hickory ft Talib Kweli and Boots Riley:  New KOOL!  From WORD O.K., this is my favourite track in a long time.  This is Saturday smiles all around.

Little Simz & Waldo - Mandarin Oranges:  Yessss chop that newage flute + harp ish!

Machinedrum - Now U Know Tha Deal 4 Real (Lando Kal Remix)
Machinedrum - She Died There (Traxman Remix)
Machinedrum - U Don't Survive (Chrissy Murderbot Remix):  Rooms came out like 2012 or so?  But I only recently discovered the DELUXE EDITION bonus CD with these fabulous remixes.  Seriously, the 2nd disc is just as good as the first. Recommended.

SBTRKT - New Dorp. New York ft Ezra Koenig:  Oh Ezra, we can't flip through any crates and not find you tucked in there somewhere.  What you doing down there, getting all funky and groovey?

Ta-ku - Knightime:  Once again:  pretty much every beat Ta-ku is on is hot.  Never sleep again.  OK OK, just get all the Ta-Ku stuff.  Then sleep.  Sleep is awesome.  But so is Ta-ku.

Valise - Charlie Gray:  OK down with this Death Cab vibe.
