Aesop Rock – ZZZ Top (Explicit Lyrics)

Posted on July 9, 2012 by sapu8367

Yeah, This video is rad. Its gots some cussin, but this is awesome. Enjoy!

From the upcoming album Skeletons (2012)

Reviewish:

When not claiming beloved artists in their prime, death’s influence on popular music is more often a positive force to creativity. Exhibit #2,872: Skelethon, inspired by a less-than-sunny recent spell in the life of Ian Bavitz, aka New York-raised rapper Aesop Rock, during which his best friend perished and his marriage disintegrated.

Skelethon continues a talent honed over a 15-year career for wilfully deconstructing wordplay with a snarky v-sign to the constrictions of hip hop. To misappropriate a line here from highlight Zero Dark Thirty, Aesop’s approach is at an “angle perpendicular to everything”, rarely taking an easy path when a new one can be thrashed out. And with a shadow of mortality colouring the sky, that means denser, more tightly-woven rhyming patterns than ever.

Wherever he accelerates to full velocity – such as Racing Stripes’ breathless verses – it’s almost overwhelming. In terms of dropping science, this is equivalent to speed eating the text of an entire Open University course in a single sitting. Consequently, with sufficient words to reach the moon and back, whittling down worthy quotables is a NASA-level mission.

My Classics: Miniature Tigers

Posted on July 9, 2012 by sapu8367

I’ve been following this band for about 4 years. There early stuff is fun and light, with a poppy feel to it. As they Progressed, they because more electronic based and their subject matter turned risque. Anyway, I like them and they are True Indie Pop and I’m sure you will too. Enjoy Miniature Tigers based out of Brooklyn New York.

Viking Heart off their early EP’s (2007ish)

This is Cannibal Queen and Dino Damage off of they Debut Album Tell it To the Volcano (2008)

Lastly, these are of their most recent album Mia Pharoah (2012). This is Sex on the Regular and Female Doctor

(Note: This is just the audio because the music video is somewhat naughty. Actually it’s after the music video on the suggested videos that are naughty)

Hope you enjoyed.

XNY – Another Way

Posted on July 9, 2012 by sapu8367

Well, this one was teetering on not posting, but I think I will. Here is Another way.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVTPr8_hF0g&feature=player_embedded

From the album Through The Wall (2012)

A Little Review:

Their debut album’s title is a reference to how guitarist/vocalist Pam Autuori and drummer Jacob Schreiber would practice while they were neighbors in the Boston area, while their band name is an obvious testament to the varying musical elements going on, often in a single song. Autuoi’s mixes Tori Amos-y vocals with the acoustic chops of Ani Difranco and the yelp of Alanis Morissette, and Schreiber’s drums go toe-to-toe with her intensity. But while I hear this duo’s mix of twisted indie-folk, I don’t feel it. Their arrangements are too jagged, their melodies too scattershot and their lyrics too vague. Yet they show what they’re capable of on “Make Me,” a pop ditty that bumps along and has the honor of being the most cohesive song on the record. For a band whose best moments come when they keep things simple, I’m perplexed as to why they don’t use simplicity more often.

Infantree – Here Goes Nothing

Posted on July 8, 2012 by sapu8367

The album has a lame cover, but the music is great. Check it Out!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=e_USF06knHQ

From the Album Hero Dose (2012)

Infantree, the Los Angeles bred quartet, is back with their sophomore release, Hero’s Dose. Influences such as My Morning Jacket are clear on the band’s more electric numbers. However, the band’s haunting three part harmonies, Alex Vojdani’s classical guitar training, and the band’s love of folk give the songs a more dark and hypnotic tone reminiscent of Fleet Foxes.

The lead single, ‘Fibber,’ bridges the two sounds together with its eerie harmonies, jabbing organ, and soulful rhythm.
