New Papercuts – ‘You Can Have What You Want’

We received an email about a new track available for download from Papercuts, titled “You Can Have What You Want,” which was also featured as an NPR song of the day. I wasn’t sure what to expect from it because to be completely honest I haven’t heard much Papercuts before but if this song is… Continue reading New Papercuts – ‘You Can Have What You Want’

South Park: “Gay Fish (Kanye West Parody)” [MP3]

I had no idea A. that there was an MP3 of this and B. that there is a “full version” of the song. This is great. If you haven’t seen the most recent South Park episode yet, you lose. It’s been like four days, where have you been??  South Park – “Gay Fish (Kanye West… Continue reading South Park: “Gay Fish (Kanye West Parody)” [MP3]

Jon Hopkins free mp3

Thanks to Jamie’s post about the new Dirty Projectors track, I found out about another free download on Domino, this time a track called “Wire,” from Jon Hopkins (nerdy parents? If he didn’t go to school there I’d be very upset. “Hey I’m Jon Hopkins, I go to Johns Hopkins. Yeah, that’s right, I go… Continue reading Jon Hopkins free mp3

tUnE-YaRdS

tUnE-YaRdS is about as lo-fi DIY as it gets. She recorded her entire album, BiRd-BrAiNs on a Sony digital voice recorder, combining various sounds from her life she collected over two years.

Preview Animal Collective’s remix of Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ “Zero”

Because N.A.S.A. and MSTRKRFT remixes weren’t enough, Animal Collective has jumped in the game to remix Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ “Zero” from their latest It’s Blitz. The full recording isn’t out yet, but you can hear 60 seconds of it at Boomkat. I don’t usually get excited about remixes, but this one sounds good.

Yacht’s new album cover is bad for your head

Why do these cover art artists hate us so? First we had the acid test of Animal Collective’s Merriweather Post Pavilion, then the WTF moment of 2009 with Dinosaur Jr.’s Farm, and now we have Yacht’s See Mystery Lights. Although it might seem harmless now, just wait until you see the holographic foil they’re going… Continue reading Yacht’s new album cover is bad for your head
