Top 5 iHearditOn.com Song Recs (week ending 11.06.10)

 

1. LCD Soundsystem, "Pow Pow" (Video) (AR: Anna Kendrick stars in this major upgrade from LCD Soundsystem's previous videos (which weren't bad...) and the hand drums in this are the hook for me.)

   i Heard it On: PrefixMag



2. Mayer Hawthorne, "No Strings" (Jazzy Jeff Mix) (stream/mp3)  (Ant: Put on your roller skates on this one. Jazzy Jeff gives it a little more bounce. DOPENESS!)

   i Heard it On: Okayplayer



3. Blu feat. U-God, "Keep It Going" (Produced by Flying Lotus), (stream/mp3) (Ant: He reminds me of Dilla the way he is rhyming on this and Lotus puts some Cosmic Slop on this one. DARKNESS!!!!)

   i Heard it On: Okayplayer



4. Kanye West (Ft. Rihanna), "All of The Lights" (Stream) (AR: For me, this track is the one of the secondary highlights of Kanye's Short Film "Runaway." A surprisingly large soundscape in which Kanye and Rihanna know exactly where each of them belongs.)

   i Heard it On: The Rap Up



5. Cee-Lo Green, "Radioactive" (Kings of Leon Cover) (mp3/stream) (AR: Great song, but here the sparse backing band allows for Cee-Lo's vocals to be a little more human, and resonate a little more.)

   i Heard it On: Soundcloud

DJ ForeignDomestic's Top 5

1. CSS - "The Knife (Grizzly Bear cover)" (DJFD: been out a minute, but love this interpretation)
2. My Awesome Mixtape - "Me & The Washing Machine" (DJFD: Very Death Cab/Postal Service, but damn it if it ain't infectious)
3. KINGS OF LEON - “MY PARTY” (KENNA AND CHAD HUGO REMIX) MP3 (Ant: His voice over this dark thumper is pure excellence)
4. Twilight Singers and Apollonia cover "When Doves Cry" (DJFD: Dulli & co w/the help of ex prince porntress cover one of the purple one's greatest hits)
5. Cassettes Won't Listen "Hmmmm" (Greg: An impressive video, it seems like the cartoon and music were ostensibly made for each other - ala Nosferatu and Radiohead's Kid A. (Electronic.))

Ant's Top 5

1. ROB ROY - “FUR IN MY CAP” VIDEO (Ant: This song is ILL and the video is even better. Shouts my man Marcus Logan for this one)
2. PAOLO NUTINI - “CANDY” VIDEO (Ant: My lady turned me onto this video last night and it is one of the most beautiful I have ever seen. Period.)
3. THE KEY PARTY - “NIGHTSHADE (Ant: Saw this band play a few weeks back, completely mezmerizing. The horns make this joint decadent and fun) 
4. EMINEM - “CRACK A BOTTLE” VIDEO (Ant: GREAT video, amazing imagery)
5. KINGS OF LEON - “MY PARTY” (KENNA AND CHAD HUGO REMIX) MP3 (Ant: His voice over this dark thumper is pure excellence)
