Recently h0bbel turned me on to a live acoustic album by former lead singer for Audioslave and Soundgarden, Chris Cornell. Audioslave is one of my favorite rock bands so I was really excited to learn about this live album that was recorded in Sweden. Chris Cornell has such a great voice. So my song this [...]
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 to their MySpace. Many [...]
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 1962. [...]
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 releases from [...]
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 McDonalds. It is [...]
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 out, there is [...]
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 the song for [...]
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 hop to the [...]
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 describe this album. It [...]
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. This song is from [...]
