Paper Planes For Your Sitting Pleasure

M.I.A. - Bamboo Banga (Breaks) - this one is definitely a banga. you have to wait 1:41 before it kicks in, but it's worth the wait. probably one of the best tracks on the album. sounds like it would be a timbaland produced track, but it's switch. another great release from the lady who brings the party, but always with a message and conscious.

Unbelievable Truth - Settle Down (Alternative Rock) - a band consisting of andy yorke, thom's younger brother, that disbanded a few years back. 'almost here' , their first album is a great collection of discomfort and insecurities hinged around warm melodies and that yorke family voice. the band was named after the great hal hartley film, although i prefer 'trust'.

Bonnie 'Prince' Billy - Puff "The Magic" Dragon - puff is such a great name. should be a mc's name. a great nickname unless your british.

One.Sun.Day - Covers and Remixes

red poles.

the site here is changing. we're going soopercorporate. i plan on hiring about 100 people to look important and stare out of the windows. i've already placed 1000 subliminal banners and ad buttons all over the site. what, you can't see it ? and you thought the post pics were just amateur pics taken by myself ? if you look closely at each red pole in the pic above, it displays the names of every major soft drink manufacturer. i bet you feel the need for a cool carmelized carbonated beverage right about now.

seriously...i am going to try to post more independent artists that have been so kind as to send me music. also, i am starting a series of interviews called forwardmusic. it will feature artists that are truly progressive in music in terms of production and performance.
besides the massive amounts of music i actually purchase, i find some great stuff from other blogs, in my inbox, and from other kind sources. here are some of the great remixes and covers i've obtained recently, and thanks.

Franz Ferdinand - All My Friends (LCD Soundsystem Cover) (Indie Beats) - my favorite song from 'sound of silver' and a great guitar-based cover.

Bjork - Earth Intruders (Spank Rock Remix) (Hip Hop) - i'm still getting my arms around 'volta', but this remix is another stake in the claim of spank rock being one of the current kings of hip hop.

M.I.A. - Birdflu (Guns up Buraka Mix) (Hip Hop) - a new song and a great remix. i think it has that kanye sample, or the sample kanye used in that song.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Hyperballad (Live) (Bjork Cover) (Acoustic) - a gentle rework of the longing optimism originally done by Mrs.G. i heard she killed it at coachella on friday night and i can't wait for her show here.

Soulwax - Wouldn't It Be Good (Nik Kershaw Cover) - showing off the soulwax band side. a sweet melody and an interesting cover which i originally heard off of the john hughes soundtrack. say what you will about his movies, but he provided the best soundtracks in the 80's.

Noze - Kitchen (T. Schaeben Tombo's Teflon Wok Remix) (Techno) - thanks rayna. maybe i should trade my seasoned carbon steel wok for a teflon one. wow.
