Skrillex released his new album we've all be waiting for yesterday, and he did not disappoint. This album is reminiscent of classic rock albums like Dark Side of the Moon. It's got a flow to it that lets it sound like one track instead of separate projects spliced together onto a cd. So far, I'd have to say my favorites are Breakin' a Sweat (ft the Doors), Kyoto, the Devil's Den (feat. Wolfgang Gartner), and Bangarang (ft. Sirah).
Just found this 10 minutes ago and it's just too good not to share with you guys. Take a load off with these two tracks, they just saved my brain. Completely chill after an absolutely shitty day, but at least the eagles finaly won eh?
So I first must say that I feel bad for everyone who has finals this week. I have finals this week, but I am currently attending the shittiest community college in the world (for one more week thank jesus) so finals are a joke. I have literally, LITERALLY spent more time constructing my study playlist than I have reading a book, or studying notes. Thought I'd share to help you all get through this week.
The Roots-Redford (For Yia-Yia & Pappou)-off their new album, this is a Sufjan Stevens cover
Amiina- Rugla-Found this group on iTunes. Very similar to Sigur Ros, and their from Iceland as well.
Patty Griffin- Mary-this is the song from Sons of Anarchy when Gemma tells Clay and Jax she got raped
Xavier Rudd-Come Let Go- blogged this song a few days ago but def good for studying.
The National- I Need My Girl-Cannot find the album version of this track. Still sick, National kills it always.
Patrick Cassidy-Funeral March-From the film "The Tree of Life" one of the best ever made.
Audrau Mae Ft. The Forest People-Forever Young- Another Sons OA track.
Sigur Ros-Untitled Track (Vaka)-Hauntingly beautiful song. Watch the music video.
Best For Last
The Cinematic Orchestra-That Home
BONUS
John Lennon-So this is Christmas -This is the song where in the beginning you can hear someone whispering about killing John Lennon
Can't say enough about this one. kid doing what he does. 3 Fucking Hours and I can't stop listening to it. There's some new stuff in there as well. Merry Christmas Haters.
I saw Xavier Rudd open up for DMB a couple years ago and I was immediately a fan. His sound is so damn original, somewhere in between Bob Marley, Jack Johnson, and Ben Harper. The first song I ever had in my library was a song called "Jack". At the time it was his top song in the iTunes store but since them he has had several more hits.
Xavier Rudd- Come Let Be 9.0/10
Xavier Rudd-Time to Smile 9.5/10 Xavier Rudd-Let Me Be 8.5/10 Xavier Rudd-Food In The Belly 8.0/10 Xavier Rudd-Jack 8.5/10 Xavier Rudd-Message 8.5/10
What up, been a busy week, but I've had my tunes to get me through it all. Allow me to share some of the very best with you.
N3AKO released a new track earlier this week labeled Megaloud Friends (Far Too Loud vs. Knife Party). This is incredible, not just for the drops, but for the seamless transitioning he puts in. The man's got talent for sure.
Next up is Titanium - David Guetta ( known for amazing vocals) remixed by GREGORI KLOSMAN. Those Europeans just have a knack for electronic music. This is a completely different song in feel and sound, and it BUMPS.
TOMMY TRASH is one of those artists thats not a household name, but for the last few years he's been producing top notch tunes, a staple of an international EDM headliner. This is no different. Superb production, this is House as it is supposed to be.
LAIDBACK LUKE is quickly becoming one of my favorite DJ's. This new track is his remix of Chris Lake's Sundown. Contrary to the other songs in this post, this is pretty chill. Great driving song with a festival tune type drop, this one's gonna be dropping at concerts all over the place.
PRETTY LIGHTS IS THE SHIT. Plain and simple. I already love the Blues, and he just turns this into a JAM. From project Re:Generation, here's Pretty Lights' adaptation of Wayfaring Stranger with LeAnn Rimes & Ralph Stanley). Amazing. Just watch the video, 1080 that shit.
I'VE SAVED THE BEST FOR LAST. This ones got a story behind it. Found it a few weeks ago, played it into Philly on the way to Dancegiving, almost punched out the windshield of my car I was raging so hard. This is FILTHY. LE CASTLE VANIA turns a KASKADE big room anthem into a crazy party song. This ones intense. 10/10 Get It!
