And rump shaking.  Not even sure I like the song, but enjoy!

And if that didn't tickle your fancy, 2dopeboyz graced their blog with this NSFW video from Tabi Bonney.  Reminds me of that "Pyrex Vision" video from Raekwon, but not quite as fantastic. This will be the most inappropriate post you'll get from me.  For now...



Remix Fire

A slew of remixes for your ear balls:

DJ Sega has been working his ass off round the clock in order to bring you this goodness.  Mad Decent had a nice write up about him today and so did Actual Records.  Check him, Ruxbin, SixTen & Co. at their monthly at the Dive.  Here are some of his latest:

Sick remix of Kanye's 'Runaway', which also shows up on the Sixer Series below


Sega's first undertaking in dubstep. Womp womp!

Just look at the tracklist.  Nuff said...

Got this remix and the first thing that came to mind was Dilla's "Donuts", this stuff is amazing.  UPDATE - And was giving it away for free, seems to have been taken down.  The EP is Rogue Cho Pa and the artist is called 
Star Slinger:


  Rogue Cho Pa EP by Star Slinger



Speaking of Dilla, here is some posthumous awesomeness from him and Madlib.  Found it on both 2dopeboyz and Pitchfork for the soundcloud:


Jaylib - Louder (Blast Your Radio Theme) by stonesthrow





Here are some other delectables for you as well:


Diplo spent a year gathering the stems for this remix, but it was worth it.  His take on Sleigh Bells "Tell Em" available for free download via Mad Decent

Lastly here is a free download of Duck Sauce's remix of "Hot Mess" by Chromeo from Stereogum which they got from Green Label Sound.  And here is the humorous video:

Perhaps a bit much?

So....not sure where to start with this.


Thanks to Audio Perv for the video



Ariel Pink & Co had their network TV debut on Jimmy Fallon last night (in the battle with Conan for the quest to be more indie)and despite his recent shitty performances, this wasn't horrible.  But it wasn't "Oh man, I'm gonna blow up now that I'm on NBC" good.  I could barely get through that last sentence without laughing, NBC stinks on ice.  Maybe its that they look like a sequence version of The Turtles or the fact that their bassist looks like a real live black haired version of Janice the muppet from the Electric Mayhem band or that Ariel Pink stole my Nana's glasses and looked bored as hell.

I heard they didn't even write they're own songs.

Oh shit.  Thats a guy. Sorry Tim...

Regardless, that song is still amazing and the CD is great but this live act thing is a train wreck in my opinion.  Thanks to Phrequency & Gab Bonghi for putting this on my radar.  Get it together Pink! 

(I wanna make a Dazed & Confused reference, but I'll hold off)

Daytrotting

Latest of my endeavors of the numerous artists that record at the Daytrotter barns.  Best thing ever for listening to new bands, free 128k recordings given out daily of bands you love and bands you've never heard of.  

HOORAY MUSIC!

MGMT - Not just for kids anymore

A new track and some from Congratulations which I have grown ever so fond of in the past year.  Everyone wanted them to be what Yeasayer is now, but they are still writing great songs, just not the dance rock the masses want. Dig it.
MGMT - Daytrotter Session


What is he getting ready to say??!  Oh the anticipation...

I have an aversion to excellent/well constructed electronic music and Baths is where the heart is right now.  Most of these tracks can only be heard live, so go get em!
Baths - Daytrotter Session

Need to work on that stache bro. Chyeaa!

Lastly, I give you current Philadelphia resident RJD2's mix made at the Daytrotter studios.  They've been seriously expanding their horizons, having rappers, electronic artists, etc with radtastic results.  My buddy also let me know that RJD2 just gave a lecture on making multi-layered tracks at Drexel. Random late info, but awesome nonetheless.  DL this nowish:
RJD2 - Daytrotter Session

Not enough for ya?  Here's some more free remixes of "The Glow" by RJD2 from his website:

I want some sort of an endless summer


As swell as all this snow/sleet is and how awesome it makes getting around the city, I cannot effing wait to enjoy loud music in the summer.  Nothing better.  These songs have helped me get by:


Jillionaire got hit up by Malibu Rum and put out a sweet mixtape & gave out a free track, thanks Mad DecentGET READY TO BOOM







How do you not trust the man who wears that suit?  Catchy latin music with a sick hook,  check out Coati Mundi - No More Blues



Found this El Guincho-esque gem on yvynyl about kids I think?  Maybe it's Chile's answer to Arcade Fire's "The Suburbs"...I could give two craps if I could translate a single word they were singing about.  The riff is stupendous:

Denver - Los Adolescences


Lastly, I found this hazy dream fest over on Altered Zones, Pitchfork's attempt to tap into some of the best music blogs from around the world.  Band's name is Troppical Paradise, nuff said:

Troppical Paradise - Sunshine Daze (New Side of Love)

10 pounds of music in a 500 word blog post...

Some random things I ran across today that I think are pretty sweet.  Have a backlog of links, new songs, etc that I'm gonna get out later this week as well.  Let's do the damned thing:

Black Keys played SNL over the weekend and were impressive.  Dan looks creepy without a beard.  Everyone will be even more so all over them this year, and this cements it.  Enjoy both (via SKOA):





NEW TRACKS FROM PEOPLE YOU'VE HEARD OF

I know I suck...

You can always rely on the Chive for a relevant pic!
Felt like sharing again so I turned on the ol' internets.  So this will probably be like the the first two weeks of the year at any gym across the country, and I will get bored or find something else to occupy my time again. But I discovered how to properly use Google Reader and RSS feeds in general and it is making perusing a stupid amount of music blogs, sites, etc. much more digestible.  So let's see what I found, shall we?  Let's start with some hip hop:
