KEEPIN' IT REAL
Jamie Foxx is the new Obama.
(maybe im going too far but either way he's bridging gaps.)
Not only does he break into the music industry and destory Top 40 charts with t-pain-hits like "Blame it on the Alcohol," the man goes on national radio and puts Miley Cyrus on BLAST on behalf of Radiohead.
This is pure gold.
did i mention he's from texas?

CHIP Hop
clever eh?
8 bit sampling, also known as chiptuning, is the act of taking chips from vintage hardware (mostly old video game consoles as the trend goes) and putting them into synths to make music machines. And as the 80's recall continues old Nentindos and Ataris have been sampled more then ever.
I mean we've all heard 8 bit sampling before at your last Epic but oh so typical hipster dance party, with the likes of Crystal Castles, Health Disco, Sarebrepulse, Justice, Beck and the list goes on and on. Its actually became quite boring since this trend of chiptunning in dance music has been around since about 07. But the process is actually quite interesting, Antenna magazine put out a pretty good article on "Bitcrushin' It" just last winter by Matt Bean.
-I was pleased this morning to tune in to K104 and here some fine 8 bit sampling in Lil'Flips 03 release Game Over. which was quite ahead of his time.

Finale
Cant get enough? Check out an up and comming rapper Finale from Detroit who in preparation for his new album A Pipe Dream and a Promise, just dropped an 8 bit Remix to his track "One Man Show" which is actually pretty fuckin dope. Id plan on watching this guy as hes sure to blow up.
That track can be downloaded for free courtesy of XLR8R.com here:

double time
oh yeah
that shins video reminded me of this recently uploaded Local Natives vid i saw on guerilla vs bear i think? either way its quite the delightful jam if youre feeling love sick and they are covering my favorite Simon and Garfunkle song Cecilia. Worth checking out if like me, you love you some acoustic covers/random drumming/gang vocals. so fucking texas in my opinon.

Ethnic prints
Thinking about summer?

I'm being inspired by New Mexico, South Africa, and Brazil.
but more on that another time.
Speaking of New Mexico, If you havnt heard already the shins have left Sub-Pop for bigger and better things but who knows where that will be. Pretty weird actually. Anyways- i first got into the shins with the debut of their take away show quite some time ago. Gone for good remains pretty impactful to me despite their depleeting indie cred... right? -whatever, the video is pretty, and i cant stop clappin along.
