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

Top 5 iHearditOn.com Song Recs (week ending 10.09.10)

1. Mobius Band, "Say You Will", (Kanye West Cover), (stream/mp3) (Ant: I love the direction they go on this and make it into a harder record. SICK! Click here to download mp3)

   i Heard it On: Hype Machine



2. N.E.R.D x Daft Punk, "Hypnotize You", (stream) (AR: A new M.I.A. song that I digs - but this is really about the slinky dancers made out of text, and visuals on this webpage.)

   i Heard it On: Pitchfork



3. Chiddy Bang with Q-Tip, "Here We Go" (Stream) (AR: High energy new track from Chiddy Bang and Q-Tip. Samples "Blackout" by the Knocks, but Chiddy nor Q-Tip make sure this isn't a mindless dance track.)

   i Heard it On: Heavy Roc Music

4. Bilal, "Restart", (video) (Ant: Love the dreaminess in this video, makes me feel like im tripping.)

   i Heard it On: Herfection



5. Shit Robot, "Tuff Enuff?" (feat. James Murphy) (stream/mp3) (AR: Shit Robot was on my radar before, but this track sold me: this is about the simple beats and James Murphy rhythmically chiming in. Are you tough enough? Click here to download mp3">Click here to download mp3)

   i Heard it On: Spin

Andrew's Top 5

1. Beach House, "Zebra" (stream/mp3) (AR: transcendent composition - love the slow but moving energy on the guitar, love her voice, and they mastered this track brilliantly.)

   i Heard it On: GorillavsBear

2. Memoryhouse, "Lately (Troisième)" (mp3/stream) (AR: Sublime bliss. What a soundspace they've created. And her voice is transcendent.)

   i Heard it On: GorillavsBear



3. LCD Soundsystem, "Drunk Girls" (Video) (AR: Simply fucking awesome. A pack of "dogs" give LCD soundsystem a beating. A strong example of how music videos SHOULD be made in the 21st century - get people talking!)

   i Heard it On: Prefixmag.com



4. Cody Chesnutt, “Come Back Like Spring”, (stream/mp3) (Ant: This dude still has it. Swing on a hammock to this one.)

   i Heard it On: Blindiforthekids



5. B.O.B. Feat. Lupe Fiasco, “Past My Shades” (stream/mp3) (Ant: label mates team up on this one and I love that Bobby Ray won’t let you put him in a box.)

   i Heard it On: Blindiforthekids

Andrew's Top 5

1. Erykah Badu, "Window Seat" (video) (Ant: Brave, Courageous, Inspiring and I completely stand behind this one; AR: Had this on heavy rotation this weekend. Filmed guerrilla-style in downtown Dallas, and captures character assassination beautifully.)

   i Heard it On: YouTube



2. Flight Facilities, “Crave You”, (stream) (Ant: My cousin J. Moore @ Penn turned me onto this yesterday. I LOVE THIS RECORD!)

   i Heard it On: The Hype Machine



3. Gorillaz feat Little Dragon, “Empire Ants”, (stream/mp3) (Ant: Mellow bliss.)

   i Heard it On: The Music Ninja



4. LCD Soundsystem, "Drunk Girls" (Stream) (AR: Great title, great sounds - excited for the new LP!)

   i Heard it On: The Hype Machine



5. Glass Candy, "Feeling Without Touching" (Video) (AR: Dig this track. It's the beat and buzz. As for the video, she's just so kissable....)

   i Heard it On: GorillavsBear

Andrew's Top 5

1. Florence & The Machine, “Dog Days Are Over”, (video) (Ant: Get tribal to this one. EPIC! Shouts to my homie Georgie and The LEGS crew who directed this one.)
2. Neon Indian, "Sleep Paralysist" (Stream) (mp3) (AR: 80s pop with a 21st century synth feel.)
3. LCD Soundsystem, "Oh You (Christmas Blues)" (mp3) (AR: Dark guitar riffs and a heavy bass drum keep bringing back to this one. Radio rip quality.)
4. Andrew Cedermark "Hard Livin'" (mp3) (Lo fi/Country) (Greg: A powerful song that packs plenty of pathos.)
5. Inlets, “Bright Orange Air” (Video) (AR: Another example a good song getting a lot of help from the video - harmony between the audio and video here in colorful pointillisme)
