I know, we’re nearly in the middle of January, but I just recently rediscovered DJ Earworm’s yearly pop mashups and I’ve been consuming them almost exclusively daily. Seriously – this one has 20something plays already, counting today only. Something about them rings addictive. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that they’re all [...]

Lord, I Can’t Stop
August 2nd, 2010 · Music
…listening to this song (the aptly named Can’t Stop by Mozella). Been listening to a lot of jazz/soul lately. I’m looking for other artists in the ilk of Regina Spektor, Jaymay, Cat Power, Nina Simone, Julie London… any suggestions?
Nothin’ On You

This song. So fly. Music video’s pretty cool, too.
This Too Shall Pass

Saying it with joy: OBLIGATORY! OK Go has always been awesome. They just decided to continue their streak with their newest video. Bonus: Another (older) music video for the same song. Two awesome one-takers in one post!
Morning View
February 7th, 2010 · Music, Visual Art
I was fixing up my music collection earlier, and I forgot how much calm the cover of Morning View brings to me. Then you follow it up with a round of Wish You Were Here, and suddenly you’re not in the city anymore.
Fear is the Mind-Killer
January 18th, 2010 · Games, Music
Interesting how two different things come together to create a new, vibrant thing. In this case, a (for lack of a better adjective) sick track from Adam Freeland. The Bene Gesserit Litany against Fear I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. [...]
Empire State of Mind
December 2nd, 2009 · Music, Travels
New York is one of those magical places that I’ve never seen, but feel so swayed over by (see also Turkey and Greece). Now I realize nothing is ever what it seems, but this city has had its own fair share of trials and it stands still. Aside from the gorgeous black and white photography [...]
The Beatles 3000
November 28th, 2009 · Music, Tangential
1000 years in the future, the legacy of John, Paul, Greg, and Scottie remains. It’s like one of the old “In The Year 3000″ segments on Conan O’ Brien’s show. Funny!
Amazing.

The newest song I can’t get out of my head comes from the truly creative, truly great Kanye West (featuring Jeezy). There’s some autotune, but thankfully it’s not as blatant as what T-Pain does. This was originally used as part of the publicity campaign for the 2009 NBA Playoffs, but people will probably recognize it [...]
Dig
June 16th, 2009 · Music
I’ve been listening to this song for the past few months and I just realized I hadn’t pimped it here yet. Just goes to show how much I’ve been neglecting posting here lately, opting to go through the easier routes instead. At least this post remedies that. A bit. Dig holds a certain… significance for [...]
