I’ve not posted a song of the week for a while now. Mostly because there really hasn’t been anything too new that has caught my ear. I have been listening to CunninLynguists’ Dirty Acres almost nonstop for a week or so now. Recently they added the song “Mexico” ft. Club Dub [...]
I can’t tell you how much I love this song. For those of you who don’t know this song, “Little Boxes” is a song written by Malvina Reynolds in 1962 that lampoons the development of suburbia and what many consider its bourgeois conformist values. The song’s best-known performance was that of Pete Seeger in [...]
I know I’ve been using hip hop as the song of the week and writing about it a lot lately but that’s because it’s an exciting time in hip hop right now. If you listen to the radio you are probably missing out on some really great hip hop releases. I’m talking about [...]
I’m taking all you St. Louis people back with this song. I was in high school when this song came out, probably 6-8 years ago. 105.7 The Point used to play this song all the time. It’s by a St. Louis band named Matt’s Dad’s Basement and is about seeing Tupac at [...]
In last week’s episode of Entourage as the end credits started to roll, they played Valhalla by K-OS. I knew they’d play him on that show sooner or later because they always have the freshest music on the show. What surprised me was that the song was an acoustic version. It turns [...]
Substantial, the QN5 rapper from Maryland, released his first single from his QN5 debut Sacrifice a few weeks ago. The song is one of those classic summer songs that gets you going as soon as you hear it. If you don’t know much about Substantial, check out his MySpace. Instead of posting [...]
Common has been a constant force in conscious hip hop music for many years. He’s dropped classic albums for a decade now. Whether it’s his early work as Common Sense, his experimental work such as Electric Circus, his mainstream crossover with Like Water for Chocolate, he’s been able to bring conscious hip [...]
After browsing the iTunes Music Store I found this album by hip-hop artist K-OS. I’ve heard his name in underground hip-hop circles for quite a while but I’ve never actually listened to him before. I had to pick up this album because of the review I read online. I can’t even [...]
The song of the week this week is by Flight of the Conchords. If you don’t know who they are, check out my previous post about them. They are a comedic folk group from New Zealand. In fact, according to their website, they are New Zealand’s fourth most popular digi-folk paradists. [...]
I’ve written about Binary Star before (also read the comment about them), so now it’s time to make them a song of the week pick. I’ve been meaning to put up this song for a while as my SOTW but keep forgetting for some reason. It’s one of my favorite songs [...]
