I have a whopping 11 songs today. Ok, 11 isn’t really a lot but I’ve always wanted to use the word ‘whopping’ but never understood it’s use as an adjective. Someone please explain it to me.

Anyways, here are some songs that have been on repeat recently. I’m a big fan of all the artists. Girls and St. Vincent have released incredible new albums which you should definitely check out if you like what you hear.

Alex Turner of The Arctic Monkeys and The Last Shadow Puppets released an EP for a movie called Submarine a few months back and I’m still in love with it.

The Ratatat remix is super old, so is the Arctic Monkeys song, but I got to see them live this week. I almost punched someone in the throat because it was so awesome.

I also am into covers of rap and RnB songs done by alternative artists.

I posted this playlist to 8track.com which is a neat little website and app that let’s you listen to user submitted playlists. Link right here peep that shit.

So I’ve been neglecting this blog pretty good. If this blog were a baby, it would probably be out picking up girls while buying groceries for the family. Oh? Did you think neglecting babies would lead to bad things? Wrong friend, my babies would be smart, independent and resourceful. Anyways, it’s fair to say that summer is very much over. I start my last year of University today, on my way to bigger and brighter things.

It’s been a crazy summer, reflected in this quarterly music playlist, which is all over the place. Since I pretty much skipped like 4 weeks of posting music, I figured I would just give out the full playlist now, JUMBO SIZED. It’s a good one though. It’ll probably take more than 1 session to listen to the whole thing. Track list below.

Yes, I missed last week. Get over it already. I have a whole bunch of songs this week to make up for it. They are good. I promise.

Trojans -Atlas Genius

Great song! I don’t think there’s anything else out by them, but I like it so far.

Download!

Beirut - A Candle’s Fire 

New album The Rip Tide due out at the end of August. These guys always have fantastic instrumentals. I’m really excited for it.

Download!

Cam’ron - Hey Ma (ft. Juelz Santana)

I cruise around to this song in the summer. It’s old and I heard  it for the first time in a while off of Tyler the Creator’s summer camp mix, but it still carries some sentimental value. Junior high. Young love! All I can say about that.

Download!

Of Monsters And Men - Little Talks

Currently, there are about 3 songs floating around by these guys from Reykjavík, Iceland. They’re style of music has been described as “þjóðlagapopp séð með nýbylgjugleraugum” All the songs so far are posted on their Facebook page. I like all of them.

Rolling in the Deep (Sodhivine Remix) - Adele

I know this song is pretty much beat to death at this point BUT this is a remix done by a guy I actually know. He’s just finishing high school and clearly, he’s very talented. He turned this song into an awesome dance song. Also, he has a kickass turban.

Download!

Tonight’s the Kind of Night (RAC Remix) - Noah And the Whale

Also a song that turned into a song with a danceable beat. I think I understand what a remix is right?

Download!

Trouble On My Mind (Ft. Tyler The Creator) - Pusha T

I’m afraid to blog about Tyler the Creator. He hates bloggers. I am a HUGE fan of his music however, and I don’t give a shit. He’s just a kid who is living his dream, making music with people that he idolizes. Who can say that about themselves? He’s incredibly humbled and the shows for OFWGKTA are insane. They make “40 year olds rapping about Gucci” look downright stupid. This song is tight.  Only rapper I know who references The Rugrats.
